I Don't Know?

Tippy taps and loving eyes that will melt your heart 

OKay, we can’t POSSIBLY rank those, so I have categorized them instead 

the ‘loves his uncle with his whole heart’ smiles  

the ‘receiving positive affirmation’ smiles 

the ‘loving and appreciating his friends’ smiles 

the ‘before everything went to shit’ smiles 

the ‘his goth gf makes him happy’ smiles 

the ‘being a sarcastic little shit’ smile 

the ‘you stupid fucking pirate’ smile 

the ‘this was probably Sokka’s bisexual awakening’ smile 

I think this family of geese adopted this lil duckling 

The sound of a pig tip-tapping 💕

great white sharks are usually solitary creatures but there are places and times that they congregate for feeding, breeding, for the reasons we just don't know! and when large numbers of great whites congregate in a fairly small area they suddenly become fully social animals, with a pecking order and clearly defined social rules. (female great white sharks always get deference from male white sharks for starters, even if the male white shark is actually larger!)

and the sharks all clearly know and remember each other, since they come to the same place at the same time and see the same shark faces year after year. and some individuals seem to prefer to hang out specifically with each other over other sharks! they aren't like hugging or anything, but they definitely chill together in the same general area. shark friends.

Every day I get up. I go to work. I sell people things. There are fewer people coming through and they’re buying more because they’re stocking up or they haven’t been shopping in a month, but there are still lines, like always. There’s plexiglass between the cashiers and the customers, and no dividers, and we have to continually yell at people not to put their items on the belt until we’ve finished the previous transaction, and they ignore us or argue with us, same as always. The more rules we have, the more rules there are for people to ignore. And the longer it goes on, the more normal it gets. Pretty much no one thanks us for coming in to work anymore. People are starting to act like we should never, ever run out of an item. It’s just blanket assumed that we will have hand sanitizer and soap and toilet paper and people are shocked when we say we’re out.  But there are still ads on the TV in the break room telling us all to stay home and the more the customers ignore social distancing, the more management puts pressure on us to set a good example, until we’re expected to follow standards that are physically impossible.

The longer this goes on, the less ‘essential’ I feel.

And then I come home and get online as always and there are all of these people asking what you’re doing while you’re stuck in quarantine and coming up with fun things to do when you’re in quarantine and talking about what you’re going to do when this whole thing is over and you can finally, finally leave your house. Everyone just seems to assume that you, the person reading their words, are in quarantine, because everyone’s in quarantine. It’s like this big, international, universal experience that you’re not a part of.
