- West African black rhinos are now extinct – It’s not just people that are harmed by alternative medicine. From Rosaire.
- Merida from Brave gets an unnecessary makeover – Yes, of course, they sexied her up. From Michael.
- Texas judge rules cheerleaders can put Bible verses on banners – From Moniqa.
- Depression, part two – Allie, the creator of the comic/blog Hyperbole and a Half, suffers from depression. Her portrayal of what it’s like to be depressed is…well, just go read it. You’ll be glad you did.
- Cute Animal Friday! From nowoo, high diving giraffes (didn’t know CAF could be so artistic, did you?). Tawny frogmouth chicks are one of my favorite baby animals. Ozzy the baby weasel seems appropriately named.
Why is the West African rhino thing suddenly going viral when it’s a story from 2011? I saw it on Facebook yesterday, too. It’s awful for sure, but not exactly news.
Echoing pmscapades. I like “quickies” but I always have to check the dates on the links because they are often old but for some reason that is unmentioned, newly viral.
I tried to comment on Allie’s blog, but the comments were full. The fourteenth and fifth pictures are pretty right on in a pretty comical way, where the well-meaning friend is suggesting the yoga while watching a sunset. Then the view shifts to the person receiving the advice, haha! I love the illustrations with the story.
I am so angry about the black rhino thing, I really am. EVEN IF rhino horns had medicinal properties there is NO REASON to hunt them to extinction! ARG!
So that’s what goes on after hours at the diving center.
