Birds Are Government Drones

Lots of science stuff (mostly paleontology) and a bit of fandom. Constantly waiting for David Peters to have his one good idea. If you have dinosaur questions feel free to ask.

When a character doesn’t realize they’ve been, like, shot or whatever and they hand brushes against their side and comes away wet with blood, and they’re just staring at it like wtf is this and then their knees just totally give out on them and they sink down, maybe gasping a little as the reality finally hits them. That’s good stuff.

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

I see that, and raise you a character who knows they’ve been shot, but waits until the rest of their crew is out of sight to put their hand against the slowly spreading stain of blood on their shirt, then trying to steady their breathing so they can follow without letting on how injured they are.

[caffeinewitchcraft]

Okay but like the character who doesn’t realize they’ve been hurt trying to see if everyone else is okay only to slowly realize that everyone is looking at them with mounting horror. Then they touch their side to find it’s wet and oh no

If there was a sci-fi novel with a megalomaniac billionaire who was the son of an Apartheid emerald mine owner, and he was privatizing space exploration so the public no longer has a say in it...you know that would be considered bad, right? The heroes would fight to stop SpaceX.

The fact that anyone considers SpaceX as anything other than a continuation of the transfer of public sector science, that was run for the public good, into the hands of billionaires is a testament to our propaganda. Having space exploration controlled by one billionaire is bad.

Remember in the 60s when rockets launched and the credit was given to the scientists and astronauts that actually made it happen?

Now it's given to the billionaire who pillaged NASA tech and is now using it as his playground and promotion for his cars. That's bad. SpaceX is bad.

Reminder that it costs more daily to keep someone in prison than most prisoners have ever stolen and certainly much more than it'd cost to fix the poverty that drives almost all crime. Prison exists first to scare people out of hurting corporate profit and you foot the bill with your taxes.

I know I literally  just reblogged this but I love this video so much it always makes me laugh because

1. “LADIES”

2. The very disappointed “Eclair…”

3. “WHAT?” (High pitched mooing in response)

4. The way they turn into Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch as they get progressively more frustrated

Jurassic Park except they provide proper enrichment for the animals and they therefor don’t feel the need to hunt slow, small humans.

“We stuffed this pumpkin full of live goats for the T. rex watch him try to get them out with his little fingers.”

[intosnarkness]

“Turns out the raptors are cage breakers, so we’ve gotten them a series of door handles to manipulate. Little guys just love it.”

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

"The Rexes are incredibly affectionate pack animals, so we were careful to breed multiples. Be sure to come during spring time to watch them go broody over anything even vaguely egg-shaped." "We put the Raptors through target training and now if they are bored, hungry, or just want a scratch under the chin they go to spot near the bars and ring a little bell for attention." "Imprinting after hatching was so common that we now have keepers under contract to care for the animals well into adulthood to prevent them from pining." "The Gallimimus turned out to be just giant Canada Geese, and so fear nothing. Their keeper regularly has to stop them from trying to attack fences, guests, feeding buckets, and the now traumatised pack of Ceratosaurs in the next paddock."

I have questions for OP either about how big they think a pumpkin is or about how small they think goats are.

Hey, I saw your post about Lavender Brown being cast as a white actress because she became a main character, but it was actually most likely due to the fact that until HBP, she had never been given a physical description, so they cast as they saw fit, but in HBP she is described as pale, so they recast her as such. Also because Lavender's first actresses were background and lineless, they were never really assigned a character, only the name so that they can be kept track of during filming.

no they don’t. that’s a lie. that is a lie popularised by a post on tumblr that claims Lavender HAD to be recast because the books describe her as pale-skinned and that is just literally, 100% factually untrue. the closest the books come to describing Lavender’s skin is that the narration comments that it was hard to tell where Ron’s hands ended and Lavender’s began, which is clearly a comment on them being insufferably handsy rather than her skin

i will concede that Lavender was definitely envisioned to be white by Rowling (Joanne, being the racist pile of shit she is, always mentions in narrative when she envisions somebody to be a person of colour) but the movies had fucking cast two different black girls to be Lavender at that point and it makes zero difference for her to be white other than for her to be a sweet cutesy pretty white girl which is…. fucked.

anyways, i’m tired of this completely made up and racist myth about the Harry Potter books.
