the funniest thing we do to alligators is duct tape their mouths shut when we need to handle them. imagine being a creature so ancient and undefeatable that you haven’t changed in thousands of years being rendered basically defenseless by a piece of plastic
The Devil’s Pulpit in Stirling, Scotland. The name originally referred to the mushroom-shaped rock that sometimes pokes above the rushing stream. Some say the rock is where the Devil stood to address his followers, It’s still a fitting name, as the red water certainly gives the whole place an eerie, almost sinister aura, though its color actually isn’t the work of the Devil at all. It’s merely a result of the underlying red sandstone. (Source)
when I was little I remember being mesmerized by all the trinkets and angels that my grandmother had in her cabinets … my kids are gonna have the same thing except it’ll be anime figures
“This is my grandmother’s most prized possession; she said it’s called Super Pochacho.”
“Ever since I first went to grandma’s house as a kid, I’d ask her about the jar on the top of the shelf. She would always give me a different explanation. Never longer than a sentence or two, and she’d always change the subject right after that. I thought it was funny, and as a kid I would daydream about the jar’s contents
With her passing though, the jar is now mine, and the source of so many childhood laughs now brings me an inexplicable sense of dread.”
