the purplish jay is a medium-sized member of the corvid family found in portions of south america (bolivia, brazil, colombia, ecuador, guyana, and peru). like other jays, these birds are noisy and social, and often travel in loud groups through the forest canopy. they prefer tropical & subtropical lowland forest habitats. they are named for their distinctive purple-blue color. like other jays, they are omnivorous, and feed on everything from fruits and insects to small reptiles and eggs.

always thinking of that “i couldn’t stop wasting time” quote

[greatestlittlegiant]

song of the summer!!

[epicdogymoment]

[ID: quote from goodreads:

I could not stop wasting time. It was crazy. I wanted to do something with my life, but instead I went to sleep, or sang in the shower, or sat and stared at the wall. I couldn’t even tell you about anything that I saw. I didn’t talk to anybody. The cicadas kept dying outside, and as I dreamed, my mouth grew thick and venomous with silence. Yiwei Chai

the world is running out of glassblowers and yet you want to become a fucking doctor

[sniperserpent]

One of the most jarring moments of my university education was in a physics class when I was given a device that measures gravity and was told “this cost the university sixteen thousand dollars, but the only glass blower in the world who could make the glass springs inside it died so it’s literally irreplaceable. If you drop it those springs will shatter. Go fuck around with it for a day and take some measurements”

[nothingbutthedreams]

In the UK there's a thing called the endangered crafts list which I highly recommend if you fancy discovering some crafts you never even knew existed. Scientific and optical instrument making is considered 'critically endangered' and glassworking (scientific glassware) is just considered endangered, which is for 'crafts with a shrinking market share, an ageing demographic or crafts with a declining number of practitioners.' There's some other crafts in that category which are easier to teach yourself or go to classes on that list, like lithography, marbling or block printing on fabric, so it might be worth considering those if you're looking for something to try.
