A very curious Pyroraptor spots something interesting (a cycad seed) on the forest floor, and is just...tickled pink by it for some reason.

ooouuuugghhh i could not stop thinking about the two headed calf poem in the context of a little baby t rex so i have done what i must.

while we have only found one fossil of a two-headed organism (a Hyphalosaurus) there is no doubt that there had to have been at least one two-headed dino born at some point (especially with how common polycephaly is in reptiles).

if you dont know the poem, it's "The Two-Headed Calf" by Laura Gilpin

edit: ive got a design based on this up on my redbubble !!

Why aren’t there more people constantly talking about flatfishes. This is an animal that lives its whole adult life on its side so it has to move one of its eyeballs around to the other side. Are there people who don’t even know this or is it one of those things everybody just takes for granted so they never stop and think about how completely nuts that is.

I bet people don’t even know that some of them are pretty

That some are so specialized they practically evolved into flatworms

Or that some can change their color patterns to try and match their surroundings

Or that all of them are predators

Or that some of them, like the many popularly eaten species of halibut, get big enough that if they really wanted to, they could probably eat you too!!

This is a good shot of a big one swimming, presumably before photographer Audun H Rikardsen disappeared mysteriously

Or that some of them secrete a poison that destroys cell membranes, leading to them being researched as sources of shark repellent?

Which is also why the mimic octopus imitates them?

I’m so sorry dealing with the consequences of your own actions makes you sad💔💔💔

Having a disorder doesn’t mean you get to be a dick to people💞💞

I miss my best friend

What about me is so intrinsically wrong that no one who actually knows me loves me

[a-cured-battery]

Why am I so unloveable

[a-cured-battery]

The one person in the world I used to know for sure loved me wouldn’t say yes when I asked if she loved me in anyway at all

[a-cured-battery]

“How are you?”

No one that knows I’m trans loves me I get a huge wave of dysphoria every time I accidentally look in the mirror and I feel like my life is meaningless

[a-cured-battery]

Please let me be loved please let someone love me please I just want someone to love me enough that I don’t ever get scared they don’t I just want to be loved by someone please why can’t anyone love me please let me be loved

[a-cured-battery]

Please somebody love me

[a-cured-battery]

Why did you make me so desperate to be loved and not make anyone to love me more than temporarily

[a-cured-battery]

All I want is for someone to genuinely love me in some way and not get bored of me is that too much to ask
