OPEN POST: Wallabies are Ass Kicking Across the UK

By

Enter the wallaby. So cute. So cuddly. Look at those faces! Awww. And the little joey is begging for a nose kiss. Awww. So sweet. So innocent. I want one, you say. A wallaby would be a welcome addition to my animal kingdom. So adorable. So huggable. 


15 years ago, there was a significant emigration of wallabies to the UK. They were supposed to go to zoos for the most part, but these clever baby kangas had other plans. They were excellent escape artists and decided they liked the UK for an extended adventure. These intrepid wallabies gave their big brown eyes extra sweetness, lulling their caregivers into a false sense of accomplishment.


After they legged it, the wallabies had babies, and their babies had babies, and they are now part of the habitat and wildlife of the UK. You heard me right. Mini kangaroos are all over the place, spotted in the weirdest places. These little hoppity creatures look harmless, but they aren't. A stern warning has gone out to warn Brits about them and to take heed; these babies will kick you. Hard. And that shit will hurt. 



So, if you are ever in the UK and see a pack of wallabies hopping menacingly toward you, I advise you to run. They will chase you hopping like mad little roos hoping to kick your ass and brutalize you until they are sure you know who rules the UK. Not the royals, not the Parliament, not the PM. They do, and you will bow down and never forget it.

OPEN POST: Little Girl Looking Downstairs at Christmas Party

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post?

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Take a Breath, Why Don't Ya?

Lots of holiday rigamarole commences next week, so if you can, carve out an hour or so today just for you . If you're lucky enough to have a puddytat, observe their silliness and play with them; if you have a dog, take them for a walk or to a dog park. And if you're bereft of furry creatures, take yourself for a walk, stop at a cafe, and drink a hot cup of joe or a cocoa - but without looking at your phone. Just sip, clear your mind, and do some Cyclic Breathing. Have you ever tried it? It's my favorite breathing technique: inhale deeply through your nose, follow immediately with a second breath (you can do it), hold it all in for a sec, then very slowly exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times. The slooooow exhale is what makes it so very relaxing, I promise. Cyclic Breathing is different from other breathing-type exercises because it involves a double inhalation and a long, even audible exhale.  But, hey, whatever brings you a few moments of peace today is worth do...
