When you’re a wee bun and got the zoomies, but you haven’t quite mastered your zoomie bits yet. Bonus: runt of the litter near the end.

Hop in the thread everyone, it’s Bunny Friday. (YES pun intended OBVIOUSLY).

It’s Friday night. I’ve done enough this week. You’ve done enough this week. You deserve a bunny.

Literally any time Im out in my garden. Somehow, every time a big ol bug flies into my open kitchen door, I look at them & say "Hey friend, youre gonna wanna go back the way you came" and they do, just like that. The birds also tell me when their water needs refilling. Low budget Disney movie yall

Sorry, this needs a short story: Sitting in the Las Vegas airport over a decade ago waiting for my connection, already miserable because I am traveling with a cold. Two minutes before being called up for boarding, I feel a *bonk* on the back of my head. 💥 🧵 1/8

An acquaintance and I were climbing down from Longs Peak in the Rockies, suddenly a storm blew over from the other side of the mountain. We scrambled over boulders in the wind and the rain, climbed through "The Keyhole" and took shelter just as lightning was starting to strike on all sides.

Camping on the side of Mount Rainier, we decided to go on a night hike. We left the trail at some point and broke through a screen of trees to see a glacier below us with light from the full moon reflecting off the snow and ice.

about eight years ago, my then-wife and i were racing across part of barcelona on foot with all of our luggage trying to get to a cruise ship before it departed. on the way we crossed into a parade for catalan independence and were forced to march with them to get through.

Little known fact, it's actually a law in Australia that you have to dance in public when you hear Down Under.

My unique $100k R&D ocean floor gravimeter was lost at sea through unfortunate events. No funds for ship time for recovery so my PhD supervisor mortgaged his house & sent me. No pressure. I was in the lab with the ROV team when it showed up on sonar. Cheering erupted over the radio from the bridge.

Waking up on a bus traveling through the floodplains of the Indus, sun rising reflected through the dawn mist in the waters of the paddy fields where buffalo worked, uniformed schoolchildren mucking around on their to school, the sounds of Nusrat Fatih Ali Khan on the radio.

drumming headlining gigs at all the concert venues I’ve been going to my whole life is still surreal. St Andrews, State Theatre (now the Fillmore), magic bag, royal oak music theater, el club. It’s a magically feeling that makes me feel disembodied every time.

In order to finish a bat survey, we had to get to a part of the sentinel tower that had been hit in one of the world wars. We ended up having to take an inflatable boat and when we got to the tower, we had to climb in from the top. The first thing we saw was a pile of neatly arranged animal bones.

Tooling around Ottawa after hours in a jeep with former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge and Nobel prizewinning economist George Akerlof shooting the breeze about whether the value of money is nothing more than a fragile product of human society’s collective imagination.

I was camping in Joshua Tree in the 80s, and walked away from camp toward a large rocky hill, and in the silence heard a roar building. A few seconds later an F-4 Phantom came from behind the rock, standing on wingtip, 50 feet off the ground.

What’s a moment from your life, out of context, that’s straight from a movie? Escaping the rain at a pavillion in Hyde Park. Start chatting with 2 gentlemen. Back at their flat, drinking a £500 bottle of wine, and getting an offer to abandon my PhD and become a kept woman for this exiled royal.

I got stuck in an elevator for an hour & a half when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with a lady who was in labor. We were both heading up to obstetrics. Everything was fine, but it was certainly nerve wracking.

I was a kid, sitting in an ice cream shop, wishing I had telekinesis, like on the X-Men cartoon I watched. While licking my ice cream cone, I stared at a fire extinguisher on the wall for a minute and concentrated on it, willing it to fall ...and it did.

I think this must be from a quirky 90s comedy. I was driving in rural Ireland, west of Galway. I slow down and stop because there are a few sheep on the road. Suddenly the car is surrounded by sheep and a 50-something guy wearing a flat cap and carrying a big stick is cussing me out in Irish.

What’s a moment from your life, out of context, that’s straight from a movie? HS team I’m coaching is down 1-3 in state quarterfinals, bottom of 9, bases loaded, 2 outs, full count. Batter doubles, clears the bases. I jump for joy and rupture my right Achilles. Baseball cliche with slapstick.

I was onstage at OSU (visiting from Cleveland) doing an improv show, and a local improvisor initiated a scene with me in a laundromat in a broken Chinese accent, and I replied in Mandarin.

I turned a corner in downtown Ventura, Ca one dark night on my way to pick up takeout and there in the middle of the empty, dark street stood a lone coyote. I turned down the next block to circle back only to find the street jammed with hundreds of vibrantly dressed Deadheads dancing in the street.

What's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? Other than the night staff there were only three of us at Notre Dame. When he finished rehearsing, the staff asked if we wanted to look around…and then I was on the roof of Notre Dame

Astronomy grad students! The AAS is hiring TWO NEW AAS MEDIA FELLOWS. This is a paid (!), quarter-time position, one-year (possible one year extension), remote position. aas.org/jobregister/...

I’m struggling to interpret this presentation of the data, but if I’m reading this correctly, 9% of people claimed they could name 10 or more dinosaurs and could, in fact, name NOT A SINGLE DINOSAUR.

Well they just announced a 1 hour and 30 minute delay out of Burbank and my layover in SF is 1 hour and 20 minutes (with a terminal change) soooo the math ain’t mathing.

That post-review, pre-red-eye airport wine hits different. #PIDaily

Mars Odyssey team celebrating 25 years at JPL!

Okay, I'll take a Trevor Story home run.

Me to the Red Sox offense rn:

boostin' this one more time

Just dropped the 11yos off for their first sleepaway camp. Daughter wanted all the hugs and then extra hugs. Son was too cool for hugs once his friends appeared. 🥲

Impromptu tango lesson under an orange tree during a lunar eclipse.

Six years old at Inspiration Point in Yosemite at night with a sky full of stars. My brother was shining his flashlight down into Yosemite valley below, idly turning it on and off. Lights start up from the valley, people turning their own lights on and off in time. Stars above and stars below.

Me & my best friend walking through Amsterdam on NYE, arm in arm. A light snow starts to fall, drifting on the wind, & she leans into me for warmth. We cross a bridge over a canal; a beautiful French woman is leaning on the railing, wearing white furs, playing a slow, gorgeous song on a concertina.

What's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? At a wedding rehearsal on Hilton Head Island, the bride's aunt, wearing a scarf and sunglasses, paused in the middle of practicing the reading. Turning around, Faye Dunaway asked me, "Fa-tha, is it beloved or belov-ed?" ⚓

What's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? I sat there wearing a Xmas sweater, holding a BCP and stole. The family was still talking with the funeral director. I didn't know who anyone was, just that I'd been asked to come. He said it would be NYT front-page news.

What's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? We drifted out the channel as we untangled the prop, & saw them quickly approaching from behind. I yelled “down!” & everybody dropped as their boat hit our stern, slid over my back, then our windshield, & splashed down

Well I spent every waking minute today making one cartoon for my proposal but goshdarnit if it isn't a pretty cartoon.

What's a moment from your life, out of context, that's straight from a movie? Walking up through a noisy street festival in Montmartre, singing, dancing, stalls, shouting, crowds, spilling out at Sacre Coeur. I sat inside in the cool darkness, and suddenly nuns started singing evening vespers.

Okay maybe we just wrap this week up right here.

It's coming up to Mother's Day, which means it's time to donate to National Bail Out to get black mothers home to their families for Mother's Day. The bail system has been shown repeatedly to be biased against black women, so let's use our power to try and help for #MothersDay.

OH MY GOD SHUT THE FRONT DOOR THE OG MARY BENNET ACTRESS FROM THE 1995 BBC PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS PLAYING MARY BENNET'S MAID IN THE OTHER BENNET SISTER??? 😍

My kids' school texting me complaints about how many days of school they've missed this year as if they don't have a doctor's note for almost every single one of those days. I'm sorry, should I have sent her to school with pneumonia? Would that have been better? JFC. 😩🫠

Hey fantasy baseball peeps. We drafted Josh Naylor in the fourth round and he is pooping the proverbial bed. How long do we wait? Do we trade while his value is still high? Do we wait for a reversion to the mean?!
