TIL!

It was delicious!

Thank you! This pastry class gave him some much-needed confidence.

Brazo de Mercedes is lemon custard wrapped in soft meringue. Not easy to make, and it didn’t come out perfectly, but it was delicious! Incredibly proud of him - he is taking a pastry class at school, and this is the result of his hard work.

Haven't decided on the holiday plans yet, but my husband and I always go for a weekend getaway in the mountain town of Estes Park in Colorado, USA in early January.

We rent a cabin with a hot tub, eat at nice restaurants, and get couples massages. The town is quiet and sleepy after the holiday rush, but all the nice little shops are still open. It’s like our own Winter Wonderland.

And there is something magical about sitting in the hot tub looking at the stars while snow is all around you. We save up all year for this trip, and it’s totally worth it.

It really depends, I try to listen to my body and think of whether I’ve had enough water and food and sleep, then fixing the issue accordingly by either hydrating, eating, or taking a short nap (or doing yoga nidra).

If none of those are the issue or if the nap is not possible, I will try some caffeine (coffee in the morning, cacao in the afternoon).

And if I have a chance, I will listen to some brainwave music that stimulates beta waves in the brain for concentration.

Finally, meditation helps me. It can be a nice pick-me-up and an opportunity to recalibrate and reset.

Thank you for making this post, it reminded me that I didn’t knit all week, and now I’m motivated to go do that.

Morning, everyone! It’s a beautiful day! I will not drink with you today.

Pro-forced birth.

What am I not doing today, you ask? Why, drinking, of course!

I shall stay sober today with you all!

Thank you for your concern, we are AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I got this off Instagram - it was not explained why the raccoon was shaved, but it showed him growing the fur back in later videos.

I will not drink with you on this fine Sunday!

Love this - should also include a bat!

Genuinely not my intent… but I do want one of their bat houses cause I’m obsessed with bats. There are plenty of DIY bat house plans online for people who want to make one, I’m just not that crafty.

Morning! I will not drink with you today! Got to watch the sunrise over the Sangre de Cristo mountains while enjoying my coffee this morning.

It’s by a company that makes bat houses, aka bat bed and breakfast.

To make this clear, this is diets of different bats, aka insectivores, fruit bats, etc.

Please don’t consider this an approval of his chonkiness - he is at “fat camp,” which is the obviously right thing to do. Don’t overfeed your pets, people!

Morning, everyone! I will join you in not drinking!

I’ll have to check it out, thank you!

Now kith

Dammit, I use it for my business, and I’m not aware of a good replacement. So I will probably continue using it while being very unhappy about the price increase.

I will not drink with you today!

Best I can do is bat dance-off https://youtu.be/wNeD0EWyamc?si=ELfbwW2Rb7wSu_Ki

No you’re not! I just watched the bat flight out of Carlsbad Caverns, and am going inside the Caverns tomorrow. It’s infuriating that people don’t understand how their actions impact ecosystems like that.

Bats are incredibly important for pollination and pest control, and they are being wiped out with White Nose Syndrome, which is a moldy fungus that grows over the bats’ faces and disturbs their hibernation cycle, killing them in the process. I am sure this bag of Cheetos didn’t help.

People are stupid and careless and only think about themselves, for the most part.

My husband and I spent the evening washing and disinfecting our clothes and shoes because we were inside a different cave recently and don’t want to potentially spread WNS. So some people care.

I am joyfully joining you in not drinking today. Yesterday I got to see my second-ever bat flight out of Carlsbad Caverns (about half a million bats flying out of the cave for their nightly feeding). It was glorious and all I needed to be happy.

I will not drink with you today!

While I don’t disagree with you, she looks to be in her 50s. That’s hardly old. But yes, they fall prey to every single propaganda piece ever written on FB.

I had to remember it, and now so do you!

We did have a hilarious troll who would rage about people taking a shit in their mailbox. Or maybe someone really kept shitting in their mailbox. Either was it was an entertaining read.

xenophobia.com lol, that’s so true though. On mine there is a lady who posts about 100 times per day, so she clearly doesn’t have a job. And she is obsessed with thinking there are gunshots. We live in a super safe suburban neighborhood. There are no gunshots. It’s hilarious.

You’re just some common removed!

Jurassic Bark makes me tear up every time. I avoid watching it because the feels are too much.

I’m joining in!

I’m glad you like it!

Little bun buns are amazing! Thank you for stopping by for our bats though 🤗

I think I started this community before I became the c/opossums mod, so probably the other way around! I love all the weird night time animals 🤗
