I love the pause where the cat looks at the camera with one eye, goes "what are you looking at?" and then goes about his sandal scooting business.

I'm sorry this isn't a cute puppy or Capybara, but this used to be called Cute and Uplifting thread, and I found this pretty uplifting.

The premier of Victoria recently formally apologized in Parliament to everyone jailed or even charged under our old anti-homosexuality laws.

http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/apology-to-those-convicted-under-unjust-laws-against-homosexual-acts/

But best of all I like this quote from his speech:

"If you are a member of the LGBTI community, and there’s someone in your life that you love – a partner or a friend – then do me a favour:

Next time you’re on a tram in Melbourne, hold their hand.

Do it with pride and defiance.

Because you have that freedom."

"Do you have birdie num nums?"

Not a picture but a story.

When I was little, I was at a party with my parents and some family friends. Peter Sellers's The Party was on the TV, and that scene came on. When it came time for dessert, they served Gulab Jamun, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulab_jamun ) and I , in my little kid mind decided that they were now "ball num num"s.

Now even though it has been more than 20 years, whenever I see them, or any other family friends, they ask me if I want any ball num num.

To which I always say Yes. Because Gulab Jamun is the greatest thing ever! (My dad used to make it and add rose essence in the syrup.)

You cannot imagine the squeals as I scroll past picture and picture of capybaras and kittens and puppies etc. to amuse them and do the important work of keeping me from planning lessons or anything boring like that.

I've never had a dog that would actually be able to maintain their position like that and wait for their turn to hit the ball instead of just running in like a goof every time it's in the air. Looks like an aussie shepherd? They're supposed to be really smart.

If you look, it's always the same guy that passes it to the dog. So maybe that is the dog's owner, and has trained it to only accept passes from him.

But yeah, that is a smart and patient dog.

The wombat lives across the seas,
Among the far Antipodes,
He may exist on nuts and berries,
or then again, on missionaries;
His distant habitat precludes
Conclusive knowledge of his moods,
But I would not engage the wombat
In any form of mortal combat.

(courtesy of the great Ogden Nash)

From a few pages ago, but his reminds me of another wombat poem I remember from a childrens book I had when I was a kid. I forget the name of both book and author, but it was a book of funny, silly, gross and edgy-for-a-10-year-old stuff. And this was on the last or second last page. I remember it exactly.

Wombat, wombat,
So deadly in combat,
So brave and so handsome,
So fearless and free.
Your enemies fear you,
They dare not come near you,
No matter how evil, or cunning they be.

This is from 10 pages ago, so I'm sorry. But I just saw it.

And these pictures are indescribably awesome.

Most ye olde photos show people looking solemn, and in stiff poses, (largely due to the time that they had to stay still). But this series of photos show a couple(?) who clearly enjoy each others company and are having fun.

It is a beautiful glimpse that shows the past was not only stodgy dour people posed in their Sunday best, but also involved people in love being happy.
