"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

a lateral view during a stick climb is just about the only reliable way to look at Timarcha lusitanica's colorful legs and venter without flipping them around or simply bothering them enough to play dead, although they certainly are the perfect shape and size to do weird sleight of hand tricks with like you would with a marble. after a quick peek, you can put the stick back down and they will become inconspicuous black chrysomelids once more

at least assuming they let go of it

Everybody wants to hear about my ocs

I know my oc's lore and can put it coherently into words

My ocs are amazing

I can always give them more Issues and Tribulations

Everybody loves my oc's Issues and Tribulations

My ocs are the most beautiful blorbos on earth

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

happy new year -------------_--------------------
