FU-CKING IN-CON-SIS-TANT

waitttt guysssss he lowkey wants you.... to take these antibiotics and abstain.

The New Caledonian crow, who knows how to specifically build a tool in order to build another tool, never engages in play. These motherfuckers are smarter than some people with the right to vote, and they are Extremely Serious Birds. They don't have time to play, they got work to do and kids to raise.

And then there's the kea, straight-up titled "clown of the mountains", that has a specific vocalization for "playtime!". Scientists decided to try what happens if they play the Play Call for two fully-grown adult keas that are together in an area and can clearly see there is no other, third kea to make the call, and they just go "great idea, disembodied voice! it's TIME TO FUCKING PARTY!" and start wrestling.

i could feel your skin pressed flush against mine. tangled between the twisted bedsheets, you locked my feet with yours, knowing how easily mine got cold. “what do you think love is?” you asked, curiosity bubbling within you like a wide-eyed child. i paused, my finger stopping on your chest where it was drawing shapes a while ago. invisible chalk paintings on the dermis sidewalk. i’m young. still in college, having only consumed drunken one-night stands and brief summer loves these past few years. you were the only exception, walking into my life with a boyish grin and a soft mess of curls for hair. i could tell you were my idea of love. car rides to the 7-eleven to get slurpee. kisses shared at the peak of rockland. when we made mac n cheese during the dead of the night, under the golden kitchen lights. that pout on your lips that i kissed obnoxiously when you spilled some on your pants. the sweet smile you gave me in return, much like the one you were giving me now. i hummed, seeking comfort further into your embrace. “you.” i mumbled lowly. “what we have.” i was frozen for a moment, waiting for your response before sighing in relief when you pressed your lips against my head, your smile now much softer and your eyes glazed with affection.

SO COLORFUL

Here is an adult :)

The black-backed dwarf kingfisher is also very pretty!
