the terrible itch

I love all the google translate Japanese text so I’m gonna translate it:

thinking about the people who vanished without a trace. The mutual who reblogged something as usual and never came back online. The friend on discord who just disappeared, and when you go to check on them their account is deleted and theres no other way to contact them

Hello, so I'm originally from Costa Rica and there's actually a good reason why the Yigüirro was chosen over so many other more colorful birds. All those toucans, parrots, and the like are quite beautiful but your average Costa Rican person rarely gets to see them, because they mostly live out in the rain forests and other places far away from human settlements. But Yigüirros live in towns and cities, so most folks are much more likely to see and appreciate them on a regular basis. Yigüirros have a strong, beautiful song which heralds the start of the rainy season, so you always know when one is around during that time of year. This trait has caused the Yigüirro to appear in a lot of Costa Rican literature as well. I think the fact that they were chosen over visually prettier species speaks to how the government let Costa Ricans vote on the national bird, rather than just making a declaration. Truly a bird of the people!

I reblogged this a few days ago, and then yesterday someone in my family had a baby, so I was talking to my mom about it. And the convo turned into her sharing little pregnancy facts with me. Like how babies get oxygen and nutrients while in the womb.

my mom’s getting too into the meme game
