can we all agree that being overdressed is a myth made up by boring stuffy people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to have fun

conversely, can we all agree that being underdressed is a myth made up by stuffy classist people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to be comfortable or happy

there’s something about watching documentaries / youtube videos about space, the planets, and the cosmos that really gives you a kind of easy existential answer. it takes some reminding.

here we are living in the most miraculously beautiful planet in the solar system, literally in the perfect time, perfect space (perfect distance from the sun, the moon, etc.) and perfect conditions to be able to harbor life so diverse and colorful it’s seen no where else in the universe. like... i get it now. let me watch the sunset and pet my cat and take care of my loved ones and eat delicious food

its of utmost importance you have sound on while watching this

If you can’t make use of the sound, please imagine the soft snuffles of a hand vacuum that’s capable of love.

There’s also some very subtle slurping!

This is Tilli, an aardvark at the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, WA. I looked up the video source, and here’s what the zoo’s Twitter post from October 2021 says:

“Tilli the aardvark has her amazing sniffer going while she inspects keeper Brynn’s homegrown, 53-pound Cinderella pumpkin! Tilli’s care team punctured holes in the giant pumpkin and filled with yogurt for a special Zoo Boo treat.”

So when she looks like she’s sniffing super hard at the pumpkin with her nose flat against it, she’s probably sticking her tongue into a hole to get to the food. Aardvarks are insectivores and have tongues very similar to (although not as extreme as) anteaters. Here’s a video of Tilli engaging with a puzzle feeder so you can see her tongue (best clip is 0:40), as well as a keeper sharing a bunch more info about her.

And because I love these buddies, here’s another aardvark tongue video of two at the Omaha Zoo learning to get treats out of a maze puzzle feeder. (The good part starts around 1:15 - it takes them a bit to figure it out).

But also, I just want to give a shout-out to the keeper who brought their home-grown giant pumpkin in for Tilli in the first video. Whatever else you might think about the zoo industry, it’s a certain fact that zookeepers adore their animals and spoil them whenever they can.
