Man though you know what makes me sorta sad is when nerdy, âquietâ kids latch on to me during camp and they just talk and talk and talk about a thing theyâre into (Skyrim, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, dinosaurs, whatever). And I see the kids just light up when they say something and I can chime in with an âoh hey, are you talking about [x]? I love that thing! Tell me more about it.â
Like, their parents will warn me âso-and-so is pretty quiet and hard to engageâ but no, man, just listen, your kid is so smart and so into This Thing, theyâll engage like fuck and talk your damn ear off it you let them.

Woma python! See that tweet where he says âate part of the snake hookâ? Womas will eat anything.
This x-ray is of a woma named Vincent. He ate barbecue tongs. (He survived, too!)
Although very similar to woma, this is actually a black head python! Womas have orange heads and some have black eye brows, but this one has a black head⌠hence their namesake.
