imagine you’re a fifth-grade teacher and one day a crow just flies into your classroom, steals some food, sits on some kid’s head, and shouts “fuck off”

What asshole snitched!?

No, the story is even better than that! This crow lives outdoors, but he has a human family that rescued and raised him as a chick. He is highly vocal because he talks to his humans regularly.

They have some judgy neighbors though, who didn’t love foulmouthed Cosmo, and who secretly captured him and took him to an animal rescue. He was eventually released far from from home.

When he came to this school? When he walked through all the classrooms telling the kids “what’s up?” and “I’m fine”? He was looking for someone who could help him find his family.

“He went to the only kid I know in Allen Dale and knocked on the door,” Shattuck said. That was the fifth-grade classroom where Cosmo found snacks. That night, when the kid relayed the story of the talking crow to his father, the father called Shattuck. Colpron went the next day to collect Cosmo.

Cosmo’s home now, he was welcomed back and fed sardines, he doesn’t visit the traitor neighbors anymore, and those kids got to take part in a wonderful story about friendship, corvid intelligence, and Christmas magic.

oh my god it’s laika day everyone drop what you’re doing… we honour a little dog who was sent up into space 65 years ago today. she was found as a three year old stray mongrel wandering the streets of moscow. her ability to endure hardy conditions got her chosen as the candidate for a journey she was never meant to survive. she passed away seven hours after liftoff. I hope she died dreaming of chasing rabbits up in the stars I love u laika forever and ever

Never forget, she was loved

She was not killed as an act of cruelty, or simply neglected. People cared about her, and the many space dogs who survived proves it

She was loved

great ritual for honoring Laika’s memory (from another thread)

I could get over anything as long as I have something new to be obsessed with

girls when they don’t have a new obsession that helps them dissociate from their problems and they’re actually forced to face their thoughts

“Do you ever dream of land?” The whale asks the tuna.

“No.” Says the tuna, “Do you?”

“I have never seen it.” Says the whale, “but deep in my body, I remember it.”

“Why do you care,” says the tuna, “if you will never see it.”

“There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains.” Says the whale.

“They will disappear.” Says the tuna, “one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains.”

“Maybe I don’t want to forget,” Says the whale, “The forests were once my home.”

“I have seen the forests.” Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

“Tell me what you have seen,” says the whale.

“The forests spawned me.” Says the salmon. “They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home.”

“Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?” Asks the whale. “They have bounty of their own.”

“You forget,” says the salmon, “That the oceans were once their home.”
