    IS BUNNY DEPRESSED?! Q&A #1 | What About Bunny

    09:52IS BUNNY DEPRESSED?!  Q&A #1 | What About Bunny
    • Oh, Tanny Bear. Ten says, no thank you. What was I saying? Oh yeah, so we're both solitary creatures. And that's that. So not much social life to speak of and that is just fine. We enjoy our alone time. We enjoy our enrichment time and our long walks in the wilderness and that's how we are. What does Bunny think of Johnny? She loves him. She adores Johnny. Bunny has a small circle of humans that she absolutely adores. Johnny is one of them. She always does roo-roos for him. She's so excited when he comes out to the cabin. She just adores him and she definitely has like a different relationship with Johnny than she does with me. It's not good or bad, better or worse. It's just different. I love that dogs can have such unique and individual relationships with different people in their lives. Super cool. She also really likes to call him out when he poops. Hasn't done that recently, but that was definitely a phase when she was in early adolescence. Like every time he went to the bathroom. So that's fun. So that's what Bunny thinks of Johnny. Yeah, okay, next question. Let's see here. What does your typical day look like at the cabin? All right, so we, well this isn't how I would choose to wake up, but it's just kind of what happens. I usually wake up at around five because one of the dogs is like, I gotta do something or drink something or just want to like put my tongue in your nostril. So that's around five and then I try and go back to sleep until like, I don't know, maybe six. But then we get up at six and I have a couple of cups of coffee and then we go for a little walk or a big walk. Sometimes it's a hike. Right now I'm really, really busy so it's like a shorter walk, but not short for like 45 minutes or something. Maybe we'll play outside for a little while and then I come back in and they're all ready to like sleep for several more hours and I get to do a bunch of work. Usually I have several meetings and then maybe I'll record some content or like do some writing or you know other types of work.

    HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners

    14:46HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners
    • London, England, 1209. The Book of the Civilised Man is published by a Daniel of Beckles. It's a poem written in Latin that explains how to act with courtesy and decorum in social situations. It advises, for example, if you wish to belch, remember to look up to the ceiling, do not attack your enemy while he is squatting to defecate, never pester ladies or look too closely at their dress, don't mount your horse in the hall and, in front of grandees, do not openly excavate your nostril by twisting your fingers. Slowly, the aristocracy is becoming more self-aware about its conduct in social circumstances. In particular, men are being asked to behave with more decorum around women, and there's an ever-increasing censure of picking one's nose in public.
