what is it about capybaras that attracts groups of small animals to them?
Its not just mammals either its like birds and turtles and frogs too
look at this shit
They radiate peace
capybaras are friend shaped
I love this post
This is actually a cool thing I know about!
In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.
Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.
Like puppies
Ducks
Deer
Emus
They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!
Really really exciting news :) I’m working from Taiwan for 3 months starting in the fall! I think this is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always wanted to live in Taiwan for longer than a period of a month since that was the longest that I would usually stay and I finally got the last okay from work to go remote!
I’m trying to stay level headed and think through what I want to get out of this experience since I know how quickly 3 months can pass when I’m in a different place. I’ll be working hellish hours into the night but personally, I think the sacrifice is worth it. As long as I keep my head on straight, my work shouldn’t suffer.
I’m SO excited. Not only does Taiwan have COVID completely under control, I think it’ll be a good opportunity to go discover new things and travel the way I’ve wanted to.
Something I think will be very interesting to tackle is making friendships and meeting new people. I’m ready to expand my circle and revive my extrovert from the dead. But to do that, I want to first think about what type of people I want to engage and then where to find them. Fingers crossed. This is going to be a really whirlwind 3 months if I do this right!
I wonder what it’s like to never lose a friend. It seems like you have the ability to never end on bad terms with someone and you’re just losing touch, not a friendship. How do you do it?
What is it like to be able to message anyone and ask “Hey, let’s catch up!” and never wonder if they remember you, resent you, or even hate you.
Confession: I have a friend who likes to text me at like 4am when he’s had nightmares or he can’t sleep or he just needs a friend. He thinks I’m always awake at 4am but really I go to bed around 12am and I change his text-tone to the loudest one I have just so it wakes me up when he needs me.
you’re the kind of friend everyone needs
I think that since its been a year since I made this post its time for an update. In the past year I’ve watched this post grow and grow, people I work with have told me about it as “this post I saw the other day” and they have no idea it’s my post. The person I wrote this about has even reblogged it. He is no longer texting me at 4am. Not because we no longer speak but because the nightmares have stopped. He and I both are in a much better place. Most often the only times he’s waking me up at 4am is when he’s pulling me closer to him while we sleep. He’s more than a friend now and I’m forever thankful to have him. Everyone messaged me saying he was lucky to have me but I think I was just as lucky to have him and I would do it all over.
