We bought a zoo! …Membership!

In previous years of this blogger’s existence, there were many terrible life decisions. One of them being a partner who religiously forgot my birthday, which honestly, NBD because I probs only remember mine on account of having to purchase new license plate tags every year.  However, in their absolute panic they bought me a zoo membership. 

A couple of months later and not only was I no longer in a relationship with said person, I was living alone. I wasn’t new to this existence. Shit (life) is expensive. So, over a period of several months I took anyone who was even vaguely interested to the Detroit Zoo. Thus, a Safe-Space was born.

(Also, behold my hot ass husband and his pet goblin manic pixie dream twink:)

*Fast-forward segway*

Our wonderful friends Carol and Tom volunteer at the Detroit Zoo every Saturday, then come visit us ingrates at Tocororo. They were kind enough to lend us their discount to purchase a zoo membership! 

Not only do we get the opportunity to visit one of the most an absolutely fucking amazing place, I get to try to decipher whether or not I can feasibly take care of X,Y,Z exotic animal in our humble abode. 

ALSO! I get another opportunity to fuck around with my new camera that I %100 wanna take outback and get pregnant. I JUST learned (on this day specifically) that I can crop photos ON the actual camera! BUT WAIT,THERE’S MORE: it saves a copy of the OG image. Thx, Sony. (Obvs this is not a sponsored post, I just love my new camera boi) 

Example A:

Also, also; gratuitous photos of the boi that is %100 coming to steal your gurl.

And now I present to whoever actually reads this crap on toast/the reason I will eventually need jail money: The Red Panda. 

If Mariah is reading this, its %100 their fault for introducing me to these majestic motherfuckers. Their literal defense mechanism is basically trying to ask you for “uppies”.

Would you LOOK at that face.

Innocent af.

I feel like this is the part of the blog post where I should be linking a bunch of cool things but the zoo in its entirety is a cool fucking thing. 

So anyways, if you are ever in Michigan, I %100 recommend visiting and supporting the Detroit Zoo. (Even tho its actually located in bitch-ass Royal Oak).

Until next post

📍Detroit, MI.

    Animals are the best. Nature at its finest. Please take me to your zoo the next time I visit.

    Congrats on the Sony. I hope you and it enjoy a long life together. :)

    Also amused by your wordplay, replacing segue (transition) with segway (vehicle).
