1. A type of turtle called a Coastal plain cooter (Pseudemys floridana) is hit by a car near my apartment
2. The injured turtle is brought to my veterinary school for medical care while I am on rotation in the wildlife ward
3. The turtle is assigned to my classmate (not someone I know terribly well) as a patient
4. The turtle is treated for a minor shell fracture and my classmate spends two weeks taking care of the animal (in addition to a box turtle)
5. The turtle with the shell fracture recovers very well and is cleared for release into the wild, in a pond near where it was found
6. While birding at the pond some time later I see a turtle of this species out sunning itself and am excited to think it is my classmate’s former patient
7. Next time I see my classmate I say, at full volume in front of people, “hey I think I saw your cooter!”
I tried to slip CBD gummies into some kids halloween candy like i saw on the news but the kids recognized them and laughed at me for not having any real weed
Why are people trying to tags this with their blorbos. I don’t think silver the hedgehog would do this
I don’t know; I kind of think that our culture is based around systematic denial of human limitations. I mean, there’s the eight-hour work day (which is about 4 hours longer than most people are consistently able to remain productive); buffing your qualifications on job applications (which everyone needs to do to some extent, because everyone else is doing it); the expectation of multitasking, even though it’s not really possible; academics are running around with impostor syndrome, ultimately because there’s only so many books that an individual is capable of reading, while a bunch of liars and grifters pretend that they’re experts at *everything* and are held up as thought leaders. Billionaires are held up as if they’re just incredibly hard workers, photoshopped movie stars held up as if they’re just incredibly beautiful. We feel guilty for not being something that never has and can never exist.
