Birdsite: still oblivious to the evils growing under its nose, and lashing out at the wrong people.

@Miniver Uh-oh. I've been wearing cargo shorts all week. For the pockets. I'm juggling all sorts of spider-hunting gadgets.

Enslaved, and then learning English, Greek, and Latin by the time she was 12? A force of nature.

@rey Will try it on the spiders.

I'm trying to put myself into the mind of a female spider to figure out what might make her horny. Rich supply of flies? Terrified male who just wants to get the job done quickly and flee? Power? Stimulating vibrations?

Mmmm, tubers.

Nice little ballad you got there, Maine.
