"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."
-Hebrews 13:2
Whenever you buy something, instead of thinking that it’s too expensive or feeling regret, feel appreciation that you were able to buy it. This is a completely different mindset that will not only make you feel better but will also help you attract more money with ease.
No, a hummingbird’s heart will not stop if it stops moving. You’re possibly thinking of Spoink, which is a Pokemon that supposedly powers its heart by bouncing, and as such can’t stop moving. Hummingbirds don’t sit often because they’re busy looking for food, but they can and do sit. The females sit on eggs in nests, after all, and they do have to sleep.
Fun fact: the leg muscles of a hummingbird are so stripped down to save on weight that they cannot walk. They can step sideways along a branch or other perch, but they cannot go forward without taking flight.
However they absolutely do stop moving. In fact, hummingbirds hibernate! Overnight. Instead of sleeping. Because if they tried to sleep like a normal animal their hyperactive metabolism would mean that they starve to death before breakfast.
Unrelated fun fact: the primary Aztec god of war would take on the form of a hummingbird, and the souls of the bravest warriors were said to turn into hummingbirds in order to join him after death, presumably because every hummingbird is approximately four grams of pure concentrated asskicking which fears no man nor beast and will gladly throw down with somebody seventeen thousand times their size if offended.
this is a really cool post and i love seeing such a small bird but reading “No, a hummingbird’s heart will not stop if it stops moving. You’re possibly thinking of Spoink” killed me

marina made music to comfort teenagers that felt that they were raised to focus on work and achievement and success but were ultimately very, very lonely. The family jewels was made for kids that felt they were too stiff and closed off to be loved. “A control freak driven by a greed to succeed” and “I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine” and “could never tell you what happened the day I turned 17” the ENTIRETY of obsessions, the desperate pleading of “I’m vulnerable, I’m vulnerable.” Marina comforted those who felt unlovable and overwhelmed with their youth, who felt like their whole life depended on their teenage years but simultaneously believed they were wasting them, and who feared their whole life would be missing out on opportunities.
