I don't post about my life too often, but when I do I make sure it's completely inane. I'm an RN, a lesbian, and a little insane. My favorite shows are The X Files, all forms of Star Trek, Sailor Moon, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. I love to read, and I dabble in drawing and painting.

Kira Nerys would 100% support the Fenris Rangers and their work and turn a blind eye to the not so Federation mandated shenanigans they might be up to.

And yes I want Kira and Seven to have met in that 20 year gap.

There's a lesson here

What the hell? Is this normal? Is the snake ok?

Thanks for tagging me!

So, this isn't good, and it's not normal, but this is something that can happen in even healthy snakes, with a few big qualifiers. This only really happens on ophiophagus (snake-eating) snakes, like this kingsnake, and it happens because they think they smell food and wind up biting themselves. This snake happened to bite at just the right angle to swallow their tail, and as they kept going, any pain they felt was dismissed as being from their "prey" biting them.

This snake is probably okay. As you can see in the video, they let go as soon as some hand sanitizer got in their mouth - snakes hate the smell and taste of the stuff.

Situations like this are very rare. This snake's keeper did the right thing - it looks like they brought them to to the vet based on the table, and some hand sanitizer got them to let go with no issues.

there should’ve been a line in endgame where the borg queen’s like “you people are the MOST obnoxiously co-dependent hyper-collectivist starship crew i’ve ever encountered. and i’m the borg queen”
