Announcement today from the Minnesota Zoo 🥰
We're soo excited to share that two Amur tiger cubs were born on May 23rd! Both cubs – one male and one female – have been successfully bonding in a behind-the-scenes habitat with their mother, Sundari. (Dari for short 🥰) and are doing well. Our expert Animal Care and Health teams will continue to closely monitor mom and cubs over the next several weeks.
SMOL BUDDIES

see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell

I'm Australian if you people start harassing me about raccoons I will bite someone
If you are the kind of person to tag posts with "I HATE [animal] I THINK [animal] SHOULD DIE" then I think you are a tar pit. go look at some birds.

zoology is so fucking funny. what do you mean we’ve never seen a baby great white shark. what do you mean we’ve never documented a single melanistic cougar despite it being entirely possible. I dunno man. Anyways a new amphipod was just discovered 92639273947294729 meters beneath the sea
#YEAH#the fact theres animals we knew existed for years but were just... never caught on camera#like the giant squid#not alive anyway#the fact that science can just lose a bird#(obviously the natives still knew the bird but that makes it even sillier that its just science that loses the bird)#etc etc#animals#queue#nonsense

Wait a second: cuckoos are nest parasites. Do "cuckoo" and "cuckold" share a common root?
Huh. Apparently the etymology of "cuckold" is literally something along the lines of "cuckoo-lord".
@andaisq replied:
sometimes i think "today's lucky 10,000!" and then have to stop myself. 10,000 people do not learn about the etymological commonalities between "cuckold" and "cuckoo" every day. you are today's lucky 3
I mean, there's an easy way to find out, isn't there?
to be clear, i meant that the lucky 10,000 thing is calibrated for things "everybody knows", and etymological trivia is something almost no one cares about, present company excluded; it's the relatively tiny number of people who know it in the first place that makes it unlikely that many people are learning it at a given moment, not the saturation of that knowledge
however, i have to respect the effort to use your platform to cause 10,000 people to learn this trivium today, thus making me technically wrong about this particular 24-hour span. it's a bold move.
Technically correct: the best kind of correct.

I asked my friends on Discord if they used "psipsipsi" or "swswsw" when they are trying to call kitties, and I got a wide array of answers and it got me wondering--
How do you
Thank you to @space-glitter-gay, @frogs-under-logs, @justoneofthosebibliophiles, and Virginia for the blessing and the other options!
And to thank you for your answer, here's a photo of our adopted kitten:
