why…is there a…baby wombat…in the waltham cemetery?
I cannot answer your question, but…is this wombat alive or dead? If dead, is it buried with its own special wombat gravestone, or recently killed and just lying there?
very…
I’m pretty sure it’s a groundhog. According to Wikipedia they have short tails, and they breed this time of year.
Here’s a photo that looks a lot like the critter you saw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Groundhog_and_her_pups_may_2011.JPG

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Christians claiming to be oppressed by homosexuals is simultaneously one of the saddest and most hilarious things in the universe.
I think I’ll do the rest of my apartment shopping there!

i learned about this bullshit from QI and i am so mad
it’s a BEAR BEAR
THE MOST BEAR OF BEARS
people who do taxonomy have the weirdest fucking senses of humor
That’s like, a bear bear. Not a polar bear, or a panda bear, or a black bear - I mean a bear bear. You know, the brown kind.
Bear bear? Like moon moon?
