The best part of that video is that the owner found the ORIGINAL plush later on the beach and took another video with it after their grandmother stitched it back up

I love the death grip after the toy was fixed up. Lessons were learned. Try to steal it this time you fucking bird. I dare you.

Robert Week 2026 - Day 5 - Robert + favourite scene (since his return 2025!)

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Dino people, I am abusing my blogging power to ask a critical question. The image below is a reconstruction of Sue, the T-Rex skeleton at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. This replica is considered to be accurate based on what we know thus far.

My question is this: How do we know this is the correct size of her eyes? Is it based on the size of her skull or something else?

[werevampiwolf]

They can see how big the eye sockets are from the skull. Also, most dinosaurs had bones called scleral rings, which are bones inside the eyeball. I don't know if we have any examples of T. rex that preserved them, but we do have other therapods.

(The info page is by @alithographica )

[werevampiwolf]

I'm reblogging again to add that this means that we know how big their pupils are, since the hole in the scleral ring is only a little bigger than the pupil.

It's also how we know that most dinosaurs had round pupils. It's pretty common for people to depict dinosaurs with slit pupils, probably because of Jurassic Park, mostly because it looks really cool, but nope, they were round. There are very few, if any, birds with slit pupils, which is further evidence for round pupils. And most extant animals with slit pupils are on the small side. Many people think of cats having slit pupils, and they do, but it's the little ones. Lions and tigers have round pupils, because slit pupils are most useful closest to the ground and they actually sacrifice some of their visually acuity for the sake of being better at judging distances in low-light conditions, and most animals with them are ambush predators that jump out at their prey. You ever seen a video where someone throws or bounces a ball towards a cat and it bops them on the head and they seem surprised? That's why; they struggle to track where the ball is going, especially horizontally. So for anything over a certain size, slit pupils are a detriment, especially if they chase down prey.

And yeah, if you've ever seen a scientific source say that a certain species of dinosaur hunted at night and wondered how the hell we could possibly know that, this is how. Their eyeball bones.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

MOON DAY MONDAY THIS MONTH NOT A DRILL!!!!!

[marzipanandminutiae]

So I just took a bit of a gamble buying something online as my One Christmas Splurge

Because I think. I THINK.

I found an actual Victorian clasped hand belt

[marzipanandminutiae]

OK so here is the story of the clasped hand belt quest

This faux ivory belt buckle was featured in the 2015 Gothic cinema masterpiece, crimson Peak:

Designer Kate Holly based it on a pair of ivory earrings shaped like single hands that the production was given as inspiration, and on the general prevalence of hand motif in Victorian/Edwardian jewelry, especially but not exclusively for mourning. She said it was intended to represent the character's late mother's hands clasped protectively around her waist

… Which unfortunately led to the labeling of any and all belts featuring a clasped hand motif as "Victorian" or "Victorian style." The most common of these being Italian surrealist belts manufactured in the 1970s:

(thankfully these are seldom sold as actual antique pieces, but rather as being inspired by something earlier)

But the earliest example I have ever seen of a similar motif used in a belt is this piece by Schiaparelli in the 1930s:

Which obviously lens its exact hand positioning to the piece from Crimson Peak

However. The thing is, a clasped hand motif in jewelry dates back to the middle ages, with a symbol commonly called a fede. This was generally representative of a handshake between two parties, indicating friendship and loyalty, rather than a both hands belong to a single individual. But the look was very similar

(Fede Ring, 14th century, British Museum)

And known motifs show up in all kinds of places throughout historical decorative arts, clothing, and jewelry, even if they're not commonplace or necessarily fashionable. Meaning that a belt with a clasped hand buckle was entirely plausible for the 19th century – it's just that no one had ever found one to my knowledge

Until about a month ago, when this popped up for sale online:

I wasn't really sure what to make of it. It was being sold as Victorian, but anyone can say something is Victorian, and people have now been conditioned to see the clasped hand motif is something from that era despite no known examples ever having been found. I looked through the photos and sent messages to the seller, and spent probably longer than I should have flipping through silver Hallmarks online, trying to make sense of somewhat grainy photographs of the markings on this belt. I was skeptical, because you don't usually see that single solid piece look Until the 1970s or 1980s. But a friend found an advertisement for something similar from 1869, although with a different design, and I also found at least one portrait of Lola Montez wearing something similar in the 1850s. Again, a different design, but a single piece silver belt

Finally away, I found some Hallmarks that seemed to match: markings used on silver produced for export in the Ottoman empire between 1844 and 1923. I also found a few other pieces with western-style hand motifs, although none exactly like this, that seemed to have similar workmanship and decorative elements

So… I think it might actually be real. If not definitively Victorian, at least pre-dating the previous earliest known example 

It took me a while to be willing to pull the trigger, because it was rather expensive for a belt and I know that there are a lot of frauds out there (even though the seller clearly thought it was legit, so I didn't suspect HER of any funny business). But another belt with a hand design of similar quality made me decide to take the leap

If it gets here and shows signs of having been faked (the one I'm most worried about is that it will end up being a modern center element soldered onto an antique belt, even though the element does share a style with some legit pieces I found online), I will definitely let you guys know. But for now… I think I might have actually found the first real pre-Schiaparelli hand belt I've ever seen

And it's silver. And it's Goth as hell- if you look carefully, one of the hands is that of a skeleton

I have the history shivers

i enjoy that theres a lot of dog imagery in the trans community but it seems to vary wildly between "I AM A CAGED WOLF I NEED TO TEAR OFF MY SKIN I NEED YOU TO SEE MY TEETH AND KNOW WHO I TRULY AM INSIDE" and "im ouuppyyy i need . pets on my head :) "

This was supposed to be unrebloggable, but I was flying into a gamer rage at the antique store because someone was wearing too much Victoria's Secret Love Spell body spray and it gave me a migraine.
