bitch with some thoughts

Your local zoo!

Zoos need a WIDE variety of goodies for enrichment. Did you know zookeepers keep a stash of spices for providing interesting smells for hoofstock, large carnivores, and primates?

What about that random string of lights you don't really want anymore but also they're kinda grubby so you feel bad about donating them to a thrift store? Keepers will place string lights outside of many different species' enclosures for enrichment - I see it most for birds and elephants! And keepers are used to things being a little grubby so don't worry about that!!

Best way to check is to see if they have a wish list on their website. This will include a lot of stuff they'd like new, but also pleeeeenty of stuff they'd be okay with used. (Paper bags are often on there so save your paper bags for a zookeeper!) Then, you'll often drop it off at their customer service desk upfront or the wish list will tell you specifically.

So I know the Ever Given has wiggled out of the news cycle, but I learned something incredible on the radio today and verified it with a written source: there was one guy, Abdullah Abdul-Gawad, driving the excavator for up to 21 hours a day for five days.

He apparently disliked the memes, and per business insider, was driven by the memes and the jokes to prove he could dislodge it. 

“To him, it felt as if ‘everyone was just making fun of it,’ he said. ‘And that was what made me so determined,’ he continued. ‘I was like, you know, you’re making fun of me. So I’m absolutely going to prove that I can do this.’”

One dude moved the dirt for the Ever Given. Driven by spite and three hours of sleep a night, max. And while the lawsuits have started, he hasn’t been paid his overtime yet.
