New "A Reptile Dysfunction" updates! It's Tuesday! 🐢 (Also thank you for all of the Kofi commissions and donations -- it's really expensive to spay a reptile!)

Ugly ass garbage bird gets preened for the first time in 20 years (heartwarming)

The lizard, whose alert pose has been deftly rendered, is fashioned from a single piece of very pure hyaline quartz, symbolizing the eternal ice that would protect the deceased when crossing the Pyriphlegethon, the flaming river of Hades.”

Whenever I can, I always try to respect her bodily autonomy. But we can't always do that for our pets. We're responsible for them and we're the ones who put them in situations- it's our job to make sure those situations are safe. Sometimes what the animal wants isn't good for their safety or the safety of their environment. Sometimes my lizard needs to be scooped up quickly or restrained for vet care. When we're outside, she has a harness on at all times to keep her safe, as well as the world around her safe from her. She didn't choose to live with me, and her species didn't choose to be invasive in Florida. But that's kinda what being a human is all about- making the best decisions about what we care for.

Nakajima would like you to look at her nose.
