I have good days. I have bad days. They say what doesn't kill us makes us who we are.

 

i thought i saw my cat just now. it wasn’t my cat. it was my own knee.

i need to get some sleep but i can’t stop thinking about the stubble in my armpit.

my dress has bunnies on it. i am eighteen years old and i am wearing a rabbit-print dress.

In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy. 


General sadness that rats can do this but a lot of people I know can’t.
