Serious question, do you feel like you’re seeing more and more of them of late? I do but my husband thinks I’m just falling victim to whichever theory or whatever it is that when you notice something, you start noticing more of it over and over but it is not any more common than it was before. I’m not convinced.

Anyway recently I was behind one that made me laugh. It said: New Driver Good Luck Everyone

If my beloved GHO can’t win, then Eurasian Eagle should! So majestic… and catlike lol

I have given up on cookie presses altogether because I have had such trouble with them. I didn’t when I was a kid; my mom’s just worked. But I’ve never been able to recreate that experience. Now I just roll cookies out and save myself the frustration, even if it takes longer.

Storybook ending. They sound like good people.

Dozens of us!

I love the one little eye peeking out.

Maybe I should post this in unpopular opinion but I did not enjoy these! I always chose what I thought were reasonable and pragmatic choices (because I was a boring and scaredy child) and I always died, lol. Looking back as an adult, I imagine that that’s the idea, that you get to and should take “risks” and they’ll pay off in the story. But as a kid I was always super frustrated, ha!

Diversity equity inclusion

I’m a super white lady living in a pretty multicultural area. Sadly I feel like I mostly experience the opposite here from my non-white friends. Those with names from their ancestral culture (is that a good way to put it? Not sure) either ignore our mispronunciations or simply adopt western names. I had a coworker from Shanghai whose name I always said wrong because of the inflection. It makes me sad that they kind of give up trying to teach people to pronounce their names correctly, but at the same time, I get it. It’s a lot of constant work and some of us white people, or other non-whites from different cultures, just aren’t going to try or see why it’s important. I probably wouldn’t force the issue either if it were me, but man, what a constant way to feel othered.

That eyebrow ridge is pretty prominent so I think your guess is a good one.

This guy is my favorite bird of all time, and I love cats. Maybe there’s a connection, ha. Although IMO he also has the most iconic hoot of all time so that also gets him big points in my book.

Look at those faces and tell me it’s not a feathered cat.
