"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all

going to Fantasy Google to look up how to cast fireball, and having to scroll past no less than 3000 words on how the author's grandma used to cast fireball to keep them warm in winter and how fireball is a great way to spice up a Fantasy Superbowl party, before finally reaching the spell components which are just a pinch of sulfur and two downfeathers.

Ive seen people be like in modern fantasy like "oh the pritagonists can just look up spells on their phone how do you solve that"

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

Currently crying about Yoso-Tama-No-Kakehashi, a Japanese guidebook from the 1700s about raising rats. It's the first known rat guidebook in the world :)

They were raised as pets and for show animals, and it's mentioned in the guidebook that "one can call out and rats will come to hand". They were referred to as "nezumi" and it was considered important that they have large cages to live in. There was also a variety of rat that had a fox-like coat!

Rats were domesticated in Japan from the 1600s to the 1800s - it's unknown if any of those domesticated strains are ancestral to the current domestic rats today. They were domesticated again in Europe in the 1800s (initially for much crueler reasons than just for being pets) and I think it's just so sweet that we as humans fell in love with rats so much that we had to domesticate them at least TWICE...

You can download an article about the guidebook here. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/expanim/60/1/60_1_1/_pdf&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwioidaLs5z6AhUojIkEHRI1BvEQFnoECAkQAg&usg=AOvVaw3aarTW0iy1HybCcrxtp4ww

After nearly 20 years of trying to increase the red-headed vulture population, this endangered baby vulture was born in March at the Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo in northeast Thailand. The endangered bird is the first red-headed - also known as Asian king vulture - to be bred in the continent and only the second in the world. X
