@byk23: A friend retweeted this and I don’t entirely understand what it’s all about, but I felt like it should be shared with you. The phrase “the penguins begin to appear around dusk” delights me. It’s so ominous.
i honestly don’t know what my favorite part of this is.
is it the vaguely ominous ~penguins begin to appear around dusk~?
is it the explanation of what dusk is?
is it the reminder to use the goddamn toilet before you leave the house, no, really, no, REALLY, i don’t care if you have to go, at least try?
is it the amazing shade thrown at queenslanders, who are entirely baffled by the very concept of chilliness and need to be reminded to wear actual clothing?
it’s probably definitely all of these things, really.
I both resent and resemble that queenslanders remark
I just loved how quickly people showed up (both in replies and in my inbox) to explain Queenslanders to me. Thank you, friends!
(I’m stuck back on how you have to wear black clothing to sneak up on the penguins, though. It sounds very cat-burglar-esque. What, precisely, do the penguins have that we must sneak up on them at dusk dressed in all black to steal from them? Are they hoarding jewels?)
I have SO MANY QUESTIONS about Australian penguins.
they have eggs! or, at least, they’re coming up to lay them or hatching out of them, though afaik you’re not really meant to bother them when they’re hatching because something something confusing babies something something extinction
OH NO, SLIPS, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
i think that the only way to solve this is probably with a field trip!
There are penguins who live relatively near me! I can host your field trip!
