Well today when I got to class my teacher had replaced by table with a shorter one and the metal stools with actual chairs. I’m not even kidding that this might be the nicest thing anyones ever done for me.

The coldness hasn’t been fixed, so I still can’t really use my hands in class bc of the Raynaud’s, but I was finally able to sit in my classroom without passing out or being in pain. It’s just so nice that I genuinely can’t get my head around it. My teacher went through all this trouble just for me. She has like, probably a hundred different students, and it’s probably inconvenient to the other kids as well, but she did this so I wouldn’t have to drop her class because of my stupid health problems.

there have been several instances of young baleen whales running afoul of something and being captured for rehabilitation, yes! they were mostly gray whales.

which makes sense, gray whales are slow enough to get caught in the first place and hardy enough to not immediately stress themselves to death over being poked and put in a tank (as long as hundreds of pounds of delicious shellfish are on offer, anyway)

none of them were ever kept very long, they were rehabilitated to a healthy weight and then released. (healthy weight for a juvenile gray whale is almost 20,000 lbs. BIG baby)

* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)

* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?

* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?

I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they "failed." Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn't matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON'T CHASE YOU.

And each time, they reacted with just... pure glee. "Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!"

cant stop thinking about this video its driving me insane. scariest object ever made. looked it up w friends in a discord call and found out its like fucking eight feet tall and made of solid metal
