@consulardude @kukukadoo Yes. This is a riff on this tweet, except using a character from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. It’s a literary joke.

I’m reading this fascinating book called “An Immense World” by Ed Yong, about animal senses. Catfish are covered in tastebuds! Hummingbirds can’t distinguish sweet from savory! The Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly has photoreceptors on its genitals!

But also he really sucks as a human being.

@unclemattiekc @gochenourabout @LouisatheLast Had Rachel Carson decided not to write SILENT SPRING because it wouldn’t result in instant total victory, had the environmental movement not spent a decade putting in the work and building on small gains, we’d have lost the pelicans.

I’ll say it again—ideas are the LEAST important part of a book. The plot of HOGFATHER is that someone assassinates Santa Claus by stealing teeth from the Tooth Fairy, which looks utterly inane when typed out and is also one of the best books of the last hundred years. https://t.co/W4PNGJS4yp

@ChewkwayDoo @kendallelisee @kukukadoo Uh, dude, this is a Pride & Prejudice joke. It’s literally describing a character from a Jane Austen novel.

If you have not read this fantastic book, it’s basically Watership Down meets Tolkien meets Dante’s Inferno. With cats.

GM: Bard, it’s your turn. You must now answer the age old question: If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you? BARD: Oh hell no

“Tell my husband he can find me there when he is done communing with the chickens.” “Very good, madam.” I watch fish for two hours, squee over a shark, then take a nap. My dreams are untroubled by Twitter or any other social media.

Small, neat letters in the back of the niche read: To Whom It May Concern, The hive is not aggressive unless provoked. However, we urge you, in the strongest terms, not to attempt to take honey, nor to damage the hive or workers.
