I'm crying

my heart!! it reminds me of a song - vienna (in memoriam) by the army, the navy, which is about a rat. the line, “but who am i to kill for the crime of being small” has softened my view of little creatures so much

Ooo I gotta listen to it!! I’ve heard that quote before but had no idea it came from a song. Rats in particular have such a soft spot in my heart too ❤️ little creatures are truly so special, but they also make me feel so existential haha

I really hope so! I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes out for shield bugs next autumn :’)
