It's the snail that really gets me about this image.

@falcennial Heh!

It's such a terrific story, really, and so many don't know about it. But Easter, Ēostre, Ostara, it's all related. The hare is certainly not a rabbit, and absolutely no 'bunny'

@Virginicus I'm pretty sure you're not actually my best friend in disguise; but a) from your profile image you do look awfully like him, and b) you have his turn of phrase. You aren't by any chance related in some way to a professional tenor living in Bath, are you?

@mongoose Thank you for the wonderful alt text.

@mongoose The rabbit is practicing snailry. For those who have a LOT of time on their hands.

@Lkdc Thank you... I'm very conscious of the fact that not everyone is able to see images (clearly or at all), so I do my best to describe them as far as I can.

The snaile cannot hear the snailer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

@mongoose looks like the things that go on inside my brain sometimes, ngl

[mongoose@vmst.io]

@amorablackrose The best sort of brain to have.

@mongoose the recent #RadioLab episode on snails' mating habits gives a cool theory about why they show up in a lot of old art. All to do with their Love Darts.

@dylanwre Well, you learn something new every day!

[dylanwre@scicomm.xyz]

@mongoose whether you want to or not!
