a mad tea party

yamamanama19 days until the vernal equinox
To think that it reached 64° F today. At this time last year, well, technically, there was no "this time, last year." At the end of February last year, there was still a few feet of snow on the ground.
It was a really unexciting day. I took notes on a paper towel, which is terrible material, really, and on a sticky note, because I didn't take my iPod with me.
We have really early baby squirrels.
Tiffany scolded an adult squirrel, telling it "Look what you did. There are beautiful pink gloves."
"They look super magestic but they're just annoying goons." A hawk got himself entangled in something, probably the wrap.
"It's broken so I'll just smash it against the table." The seagull was pimp-slapping the table in response to getting it taken off and exercised. We say he looks better but he was stumbling about and thinking "yeah, that's your opinion."
The swan splashed Tiffany with clean water which Jacob says is better than him waiting and splashing her with shitty water.
Jacob called the seagull Mankiller and Tiffany pointed out that it's an actual Cherokee surname.
A raccoon got a jar stuck on his head, he came to us anemic with a high level of protein but no signs of neurological issues or other evidence of distemper.
Tiffany called herself the Bat Master.
Dogs like pistachios. I guess this makes a lot of sense, since dogs are the least discriminating animals when it comes to edible things.
Both surgeries were canceled.
We looked at a screech owl who hit a car or got hit by a car.
We have a tank of goldfish in the store and Matt named one of them Evel Kneivel because he jumped out of a tank.
Earlier this week I saw one woman with blue hair and one woman with brown hair that turned into a swirl of blue and violet and even a bit of pink.
Meanwhile, Robert Stacy McCain was banned from Twitter for being an assbutt, and Adam Baldwin left in protest and Larry Correia left in protest of that, and a bunch of Larry Correia's followers, including Drow, are leaving in protest of that.
V Motherfucking D says he's trying to get banned but he's not doing a very good job of it, but right now, he's at war with the Mad Genius Club. The Popoli are like "anyone who doesn't support Trump is a cuckservative" and the Mad Geniuses are like "Trump bad, Cruz good," even though Cruz is pretty much an evangelical Trump (Cruz is even more of a hardliner against abortion and he wants to repeal the Love Day ruling instead of saying "eh, this sucks, but what's done is done."), and The Mad Geniuses are like "it's not about ethnic purity, it's about ideological purity," and Vox is like "ethnic purity is ideological purity," which I suppose is kinda true, and the Popoli are like "your kind feared the darkness, so we gave you light. Now you spurn our counsel? You will learn your place! Bleeuuuaarrrrgh!" and John C. Wright is like "hey, look, I held my nose and voted for the moderate because they could beat the democrat, now it's your turn to hold your nose and vote for the extremist," which the Mad Geniuses and Dan Simmons are going to do.
As far as I'm concerned, they're both idiots.
Also, I'm very surprised Simmons isn't a Trump supporter. Simmons has issues with anyone not from western Europe or Serbia and he's not particularly religious but is very homophobic and transphobic despite his lack of religiosity. He takes care to obfuscate most of his actual politics in a morass of Victor Davis Hansen, Charles Krauthammer, and Mona Charen articles. I think it's Trump's populism that Simmons objects to.
burning question: Are they seriously nominating Seven Kill Tiger for a Hugo Award?
