There are now 58 big plushies left (US only), and 22 small ones (US, UK, EU).
I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big #plushtodon is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!shop.joinmastodon.org/productsโฆ

These birds are little. I mean really really little. They are smaller than many mice. We have them flitting around our backyard. They are called superb fairy wrens.
One of the things that makes me laugh is when they decide they are going to eat a butterfly. The butterfly's wingspan is larger than they are! And yet, I will seem them jousting in mid-air until the wren gets a good hold of the insect, then brings it down and eats it!

On this day in 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe took a photo of our planet from approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) away.
"Commissioned by NASA and resulting from the advocacy of astronomer and author Carl Sagan, the photograph was interpreted in Sagan's 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot, as representing humanity's minuscule and ephemeral place amidst the cosmos."
