Lucy Cooke on Sloths
Lucy Cooke, author of A Little Book of Sloth and The Power of Sloth, wrote this awesome article for The Idler: http://idler.co.uk/article/lucy-cooke-on-the-amazing-sloth/
It wasn’t until the seventeenth century, after years of arguing, the Holy powers-that-be finally decided on its definitive top seven sins. And sloth snuggled in at number four…
It was thanks to celebrated French naturalist Georges Buffon that the moniker really stuck, when he became the first person to scientifically describe the sloth in 1749: ‘Slowness, habitual pain, and stupidity are the results of this strange and bungled conformation. These sloths are the lowest form of existence. One more defect would have made their lives impossible.’
It’s lucky the sloth is such an affable chap. And doesn’t read or speak French because, if he did, I’m sure that even he would struggle to swallow such slurs without a (very slow) fight.
Keep Reaching for It!
This sloth has a toy sloth
This may just be the greatest thing ever. 
Slittens
Oh my God. I’ve just been alerted to the presence of this wondrous Tumblr account. 
Cuddles with Ted
Newsworthy
The Saturday Advertiser newspaper (yesterday) had a liftout for “The Cutest Animal Pictures of All Time”. No sloth pictures. No good. How can you have a cutest animal lineup without a cute cute CUTE CUTE sloth!!??
Luckily, there was a couple redeeming factors.
I spotted TWO “wild facts” about sloths on separate pages of the liftout. I love that sloths are newsworthy now. About time people start appreciating them! Still, wish there’d been a cute pic I could have gasped over when I saw.
Sloth Beauty (and Brooch)
Just started watching American Beauty for the first time in my life (don’t worry, it’s paused). Apparently it’s supposed to be good, so we’ll see!
All that keeps coming to my mind is the image of Matty the Sloth:
Ok, so I know it’s not rose petals, but hey, I’m not gunna say no to this gorgeous little man.
On the topic of love and flowers, I really like this v. cute brooch from Etsy!
Oh, don’t look at me like that
Getting sleepy?
