And yeah. Most popular UK christmas songs are 70s and 80s. I can only think of one Christmas song released after 2000 that is popular (The Darkness, Don’t Let The Bells End) and other that a few absolute classics, there aren’t many popular pre-70s xmas songs in the UK

Hello! Big Mac, who has unfortunately since passed away last year, was a Mountain Lion, or a cougar! The zoo I used to volunteer at has a lot of beautiful videos of him and lots of stories from keepers who knew him longer than I got to, but here he was as a kitten:

And here he was as a big, giant, grown man of a lion, who you can clearly see still wants to hug the humans and break our bones.

The Applegate Park Zoo has both a Facebook and Instagram well worth checking out; I think all of my stories on that post were from my time with them, rather than with MSI or the kind of freelance “know people, get summoned for local pickup” stuff I did when I lived in the area. 

Oh! Okay, well first of all I’ve been playing since the very beginning (July 2016) so I’ve had a lot of time to find a lot of Pokemon and build up my 11 million stardust! But even then, it’s mostly just luck in terms of finding Pokemon. There are still a few I don’t have that aren’t even regionals - they’re just rare as heck! 

I’m rural, so it’s not nearly as good as in the big cities, so there are plenty of people here who cheat and use maps and unofficial trackers on discord to find good or rare Pokemon (a lot of people in my local towns do that) but I don’t. I only have what I find randomly or by chance!

As for my Community Day luck... I have a theory that some accounts get most of their shiny luck from raids, some mostly from eggs, and some mostly from the wild. I know tons of people who ALWAYS get the raid shinies, but have low luck with eggs and wild spawns. My account has luck within the wild spawns, but never gets shinies from eggs or raids. But it does mean my Community Days are usually awesome! (All except Charmander day when I was somewhere I wasn’t familiar with, so I didn’t know the spawn spots and only wound up with 2 *sob*). But otherwise, if I can do a Com Day in my hometown and usual hunting grounds that I know super well, I usually get 8-15 shinies! But even then it’s allllll luck.

Best tip I can give for shinies (especially on Com Day) is use your incense! I get at least one (usually more) shinies from incense on Com Days! And use those lure modules to draw the Pokemon in! I also drive around a bit so I can access more spawn clusters more quickly instead of walking around one single park for 3 hours, where spawns would be a bit limited.

When it isn’t Community Day my wild shiny luck is pretty low, but every once in a while I’ll get one! I got a full-odds Caterpie yesterday! So in terms of that, just CLICK EVERYTHING!! My motto is “every time you click a Pokemon that isn’t shiny, it’s one click closer to one that is!”
