Every now and again i see Ori posting in the lounge and i feel like seeing a video game NPC with an exclamation mark on their head, waiving at me with a new daily prompt..

Thank you for your services in keeping the discussions active🫡

Beee!

I found a bumblebee near my porch. It was pretty chilly when I found it, and it wasn't moving much, so I assumed it was feeling sluggish because of the cold. I grabbed a couple drops of honey and shmeared them across the wood (see photo) and the bee started eating. >:)

I've heard bees are pretty smart, sometimes able to recognize people, they play, etc, so I held out my hand for a few minutes to see if the bee would do anything + to shield it from the wind, and it very slowly CLIMBED ONTO MY HAND!!!!! Dude kinda just sat there for a while, but eventually started to move around a little more. At one point it crawled onto the side of my hand, and couldn't hold on and kinda fell down/ bounced down my steps 😬 (this happened multiple times because I was too afraid to move while the bee was on me, and the bee... Might low-key have lost brain cells in the cold (ᵕ—ᴗ—))

Anyway, when I lowered my hand again for the bee to climb back on, they did kinda the frozen-bee equivalent of a sprint, so I'm pretty sure it was intentionally warming itself in my hand.

Eventually it flew off, so.... successful bee rescue? I didn't include any photos of the bee in my hand, because I don't really want photos of my hand floating around, but have faith I held a bee for about 40 minutes.

I recently watched Forgotten Island and if you’ve been on the fence abt watching it, I highly recommend it!!! Sony blew the animation out of the water as always, and the characters are so fun and compelling. I related a lot to one of the main characters, Jo, and even shed a few tears. Please lmk ur thoughts if you’ve watched it!
