- they will wiggle their eye stalks in excitement
- they have favorite places to sleep and favorite friends to sleep with
- they’re good for your skin so let them run around on ur face!!!
- they can feel their shells, which means they can feel u pet them (pet gently!!)
- u can help a snail with a broken shell by giving it eggshells or cuttlebones to scrape (the calcium helps them patch up!)
- they like a change of scenery and will explore all day if u change something
- absolute cuddle bugs. love to snuggle with u, with friends, with dirt
- u can hear them chew!! listen closely when u feed them….. asmr
- as distinct as snowflakes, every single one is different!! i can tell all of my snails apart easily
- babies. absolute baby children
- speaking of babies, baby garden snails are no bigger than raindrops and translucent… delicate!! keep in a separate enclosure until they’re bigger!! baby jail!!!
- some snails are shy……… kiss them. they are important

This is so sweet and I absolutely didn’t know I needed this till now

You kiddos have no idea how groundbreaking this was. Like there’s a reason THE lesbian website for a billion years was called After Ellen. She changed everything.

oh man you know that feeling that’s like kind of an ache right between your heart and your stomach? like nostalgic knowing of pain? that’s how the scared look in Ellen’s eyes makes me feel.  

Look at her hand too and how nervous she is. Every gay and lesbian person knows this feeling, because we know there are assumptions and consequences and there’s no telling how someone will react.

And let no one forget that she suffered consequences for this. It wasn’t just a moment of cathartic unburdening and then business as usual.

Right, she lost her first TV show. She worked hard to get up to where she is today.

You can see the moment where she’s like “I can’t just like and make up a name. I can’t just pretend that the person I felt a deep connection with doesn’t exist.”
