I do night rides on my mountain bike sometimes, and animal eyes are creepy AF when lit up by my headlamp. Deer are beautiful creatures during the day, but nightmare fuel at night.

my apartment complex is often visited by deer in the parking lots (we're on the edge of a wooded area by the highway), and every time I see them from my car, my brain immediately goes "whoa those are some tall dogs"

On two occassions I saw black bears by the highway, and both times my brain said "wow, big dog!" Three small happy things: On Sunday, out of the blue, I heard from a old friend who I hadn't been talking to for a few years. They wanted to make sure I was OK and apologized profusely for how they exited my circle of friends a few years ago. (Big drama, my friend has mental health problems (like me!) and had a big crash.) They are doing ok though they apparently live in a dumb town that is throwing big parties, and as someone who already lives in a high state of anxiety she just wants to turn a firehose on them Second happy thing: While not daily, Stephen Colbert and Seth Myers has started doing short things from home. Third happy thing: Apparently Genene Piro did a show a bit drunk?

When I was working retail I worked at a number of places like Target, Sears, and Whole Foods. Whole Foods was by far the worst one. Strike them into oblivion please.

poison is the natural check & balance of Australia's ecosystem, that's why animals with thick hides and thick blood that get left there (like camels and wild boars) just endlessly reproduce with no natural enemies there. If a snake or a tarantula or a scorpion can't break your skin, you're basically immune to Australia.

The number of people I know that have been hit by deer is shocking.

To sustain that many spiders of that size in Florida, every blade of grass in your yard would need to be entirely composed of ants.

It is not radical to say though that the curve is looking pretty good for Italy from here. Which is pretty barebones happiness, but still: there is some end in sight in the places worst hit.

Number of new cases in decline, or number of active cases in decline? If it's the former, it's good news, but not as good as it seems at first glance. It's still growing, just not as rapidly as before.

We had a colony at school which extended all the way to a nearby park. Every time the council sprayed them there, the ants would all come and infest the school. Made playing footy on the quad a loving exercise in due diligence. I love that other countries always refer to them as "bulldog" ants while having never heard a single person in Australia call them that.

Personal happy news Was running low on food so made a trip to the grocery store and was making small talk with the butcher. Mentioned that I'm not really able to spend time with my partner because she's med and I don't want to get her sick so was just making her lots of nice food instead. He gave me a bunch of free meat and told me to let her know everyone is cheering for her and me doing what I can is awesome.
