Whoever said dogs were "Man's Best Friend" forgot to include penguins, raccoons , salmon, and all animals in the animal kingdom. Animals are the light of our lives. They all deserve parades and non-toxic cakes celebrating their existence. Disney's Animal Kingdom is just that; a theme park devoted to celebrating animals 365 days a year. They say it's not a zoo, but it's totally a zoo. Animal Kingdom is 33% depictions of wildlife in Asia and Africa, 33% Pandora the World of Avatar, and 33% Dinola…

I was a bit of a whiner as a kid. I am outing myself. That said, my mother wasn't the most engaging parent. She sat at the same chair every day, chainsmoking and drinking Lipton tea while filling out her logic problem books that she bought at the stationery store. While I was a very imaginative (morbid, even) child, there were times when not even my own brain could keep me entertained. And it wasn't like I could turn on the TV. That wasn't allowed. So I'd whine to my mother that I was bored. “I…

My favorite birds are Big Bird, Sam The Eagle, and Camila, the Chicken . Accuse me of liking muppets more than natural wildlife all you want; that true statement doesn't phase me. All muppets fans know that there are very few girl characters in the franchise. Even though she can't technically speak, I'm glad that the chicken that dates Gonzo is representing for the ladies. Sam The Eagle is an essential member of the Muppets company because he's decidedly ungoofy. This man means business and is…

Foxes are one of those animals you wouldn't mind finding in your backyard. A coyote or a wolf might pose a danger to your pets, but a fox? Those guys are so darn cute to harm anyone. Are they a weird variation of a dog? Are they a currently unknown species of cats ? Who knows! We love foxes just as they are. There are so many amazing fox movies for kids, like Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox or the underrated Disney classic The Fox and The Hound . I have not seen either of those movies, but you…

Hiding in the bathroom when you don't want to be somewhere is a time-honored tradition. I've done it my whole life; I'm not afraid to smell a little dookie to get me out of math class for five minutes. That is a price I'm willing to pay. Hiding in the bathroom improved in high school because that's when vapes got popular. Instead of the bathroom smelling like a bathroom, it was filled with an array of tropical fruit flavors . The teen vapers made my bathroom experience much brighter than any Fe…

To eat meat or to not eat meat; that is the question. As Thanksgiving comes and goes this weekend, it's natural that dietary needs and restrictions come up as topics for debate. Some animal fans think being a vegetarian or a vegan is a requirement for being an animal lover . Others believe that since animals kill and eat each other, and because human beings are animals themselves, eating meat is a non-issue. I think we can all agree that the way the meat industry treats and kills animals is not…
