This is the tranquillusionist in which I, Helen Zaltzman, say a load of words which aren't really about anything, so that your brain gets a little gentle diversion from thinking and or feeling.
This is not a regular episode of the illusionist where you're supposed to think and or feel things.
The tranquillusionist is meant to be a bit dull, and maybe it'll help you get to sleep, or at least turn your existential screaming down to eleven.
Today I shall be reading a list of gay animals, that is, animals that have been observed and documented doing romantic and sexual things with animals of the same sex.
These are just the ones that have been recorded, which often didn't happen because editorialising I wish a celebratory and safe pride to all us queer animals.

Beluga bengalis finch domestic baral or blue sheep bi colored ant bird bighorn sheep black bear black billed magpie black buck black capped chickadee my friend Benjamin Partridge told me the other day that Americans came up with the name chickadee for these birds so they didn't have to use the bird's other name, tit.
I've not found verification of this, but why would Benjamin in Partridge lie about his fellow birds?
