Sshhhhh! They’re probably about to go to sleep

It’s been all go this morning, and I decided really this needed to  be shared.

It’s a  webcam from Estonia.  And they’re leopards.  The mother is in and out.

Possibly because of the distance, it takes a while to get the image.

“Puberty cards make it easier”

Really? Do they? Menarchy Parties R’ Us says so. In fact, they suggest throwing a puberty party, complete with Pin the Ovaries on the Uterus game, “Private Days Feminine Disposable Bags” as party favours, and a “Puberty Marshmallow Game”.

It’s all tremendously well-meaning. But I think I’d have had to crawl under my bed for a week and not come out if someone had tried to throw me such a party. (Thanks, SL!)
