kill the shift manager in your brain
you are not wasting time you are vibing. you are not being unproductive you are literally chilling. make a grill cheese with cheddar cheese and slather a piece of the bread with some honey and maybe you’ll relax

not to be a fucking nerd but the raven changed my brain on a biological level. “and the sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain” hello?? it’s so crunchy. it’s delicious. i quote random chunks of it daily because i can’t get enough of the cadence.
The pain is more incredibly annoying than unbearable
I can bear it but come on

The New World Mall, in Bangkok, was closed in 1997 after it was found to have breached building regulations.
Yeah it looks like they put some of it in the water. Classic mall mistake

Anyway the best opening line to a book is still from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe:
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Another favorite is the opener from CS Lewis’s Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
“There was a boy named Eustice Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.”
My vote goes to the House of Leaves:
“This is not for you.”
I think it says something that I literally do not even remember what the first line of harry potter is.
Also, tossing an honorable mention into the ring for Rick Riordan’s The Last Olympian: “The end of the world started when a pegasus landed on the hood of my car”

Today I saw a gif of a gaboon viper "crawling" (moving its muscles like a walking caterpillar rather than slithering), I was wondering if you could explain why/how they do that? Is that the only way they move around or just something they do occasionally? (Your blog is super cool btw!!)
Like this?
This is called rectilinear locomotion, and it’s one of the main ways a snake can move! Gaboon vipers use rectilinear locomotion frequently because it’s slow but a great way for heavy-bodied snakes to move. It doesn’t involve any bending so it’s also great for snakes who have recently eaten.
Rectilinear locomotion works by using the special muscles snakes have attached to their ribs. One muscle pulls a section of the body forward, and another pushes it back so they’re propelled forward. This repeats in sections throughout their bodies, so you get that “crawling” effect.
All snakes are capable of rectilinear locomotion, and Gaboon vipers can move like any other snake, but rectilinear locomotion is their favorite way to get around! It’s like how sidewinders prefer sidewinding even though they can use other styles of locomotion.
