Did y'all read the article about College kids reading Dickens because the thing I found so wildly upsetting about it was the lack of interest / curiosity when it came to looking up unfamiliar words / concepts / things.

White rat with a grey eyepatch faces the camera from within the folds of a hammock. Only his head sticks out like filling oozing out of a burrito. Or like a rat cannoli.

Tybalt might not look like he has many brain cells, but this is untrue. He has a myriad of brain cells, but they are all evil. Favorite activities include pulling shirts into his cage to chew, escaping, and biting his brother in the balls.

His little smile omg 🥹

A brown pet rat wears a piece of lettuce on its head like a fashion accessory. It sits on a gray towel with another rat partially visible nearby. esofa854 via Pinterest.

the Lettuce Prince

A rat eating something. His eyes are bulging from excitement and he is wet. His head is black and his body is white.

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Fox squirrel at a squirrel sized picnic table. It has its mouth wide open looking at the nut halves.

If they don’t, I appreciate the photo ops!!

finally some good news

Gophers are first non-human mammal known to farm UF researchers discovered that pocket gophers fertilize crops of roots and harvest them for food, making them the first non-human mammal known to show farming behavior.

Root-farming gophers might be our closest agricultural relatives

"Beneath your feet, the gophers continuously create and remold a labyrinth of winding tunnels hundreds of feet long.

And, perhaps, tend the world’s most recently discovered farms. Root farms, that is."

She Who Remains by Rene Karabash

The standout thing I've read so far this year. Short but packs a big punch. The trickiness of memory and the slipperiness of identity and dreams of what could have been. Absolutely gorgeous prose.

Mrs S by K Patrick

Lesbian yearning and queer friendship and also a man is extremely overdramatic about a bee sting. This was really fun (and made me yearn for summer).

Godric by Frederick Buechner

Is it even a Mittenreads if I haven't read at least 3 books about faith by February?? This was fun but deserved to be longer and much weirder.

Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel

Some of this has not aged well, but it's so bleakly funny and so compelling in its exploration of what we do with our pasts. Hilary Mantel was a real one for sure.

Penance by Eliza Clark

This was extremely readable but I'm not sure it was anywhere near as clever or nuanced as it seemed to think it was. With that said there is a hilarious reference to "press x to Jason" so.

Ordinary Saints by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin

This book was designed specifically for me, a gay person with a complicated relationship with religion.

Ours by Phillip B. Williams

An absolute masterpiece of speculative fiction. A really clever piece of revisionist Black history and a really thoughtful exploration of freedom and community. This is a long book but it's so worth it!
