hii just posting a cute update here cause why not? i got into grad school! I’m going to be a plant scientist!! i’ll be updating on my mains soon but also thought i’d throw this into the tumblr void lol 🌱✨🕳️
anyway here’s a picture of a salamander i saw a few months ago
*insert piping plover emojis here*
I'm literally working outside of work hours rn (taking a lil break) to enter plover data bc these little buggers are so busy rn I spend all of my time in the field
I adore that this got in front of someone who was indeed working plovertime.
in my delicate nature
Here's the Princess Mononoke comic I made for the @ghiblifanzine :) Been thinking a lot about how San found her place in the pack as a young half-human, half-wolf child and how her family loved her from the very beginning!
Aftersales are open now until July 1st!!
from @/vero_muerte on tiktok!!
found this video at <2000 likes and i NEED more people to see this because. yeah.
Transcript:
“Maybe I like looking trans "oh your voice is too deep" Maybe I like having a deep voice. Maybe I'm not your femme fantasy. Maybe I'm my own fantasy. I love looking trans. I fucking hope that when I walk down the street, they say, "look at that transsexual!" And just maybe someone will see me and think, "hey, I can live that way, too."”
I will give someone four quarters and a doubloon if they can identify this random hardcore song ive had on my hard drive for like 20 years now
well that was fast LMAO It's definitely a remix of that song but i can't find it
Update: it has been found, thanks guys! it's from some hardcore album from the 90's
this feels like dragging around a mummified corpse thats dressed as a clown
While its eyes are not as big as its mummy's, this baby tawny frogmouth is still using its beady peepers to see the best it can
Can @raccoonmilf vouch for this? Super rad if true.
Yes it’s true
fat cat in a big mess, 2003
ok note to self i gotta leave the house regularly so that i dont feel like im slowly transforming into an evil fucking shadow clone of myself
So as it turns out your sense of self doesnt exist in a vacuum. You gotta actually use it and bounce it off of other people like echolocation to see where you are as a person and shit. So if you dont regularly interact with other people the echoes just get weaker and weaker and before you know it your personality is a blurry fucked up fog clone of its former self. which it sucks because this makes it really hard to interact with people again but yknow
Oh, this definitely belongs on Tumblr.
From the Nib, by Mattie Lubchansky
hero: IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO???
villain: *choking back tears* uh, yeah, i'm actually trying really hard here man
hero: *now looking uncomfortable* oh
hero: hey man its okay that was good you uh you did good back there
villain: i did good??
hero: i mean- bad!! you did bad!!
villain: I did BAD?!?!
hero: i mean... you did good at being bad!
villain: oh... thank you?
hero: *awkwardness intensifies* no problem...
villain, tearing up again: no one has ever told me I'm good at anything!
hero: where are your parents I just want to talk
All the best hero - villain dynamics just lead right back to these two
Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) observation by eleggua
happy pride
at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback
what's more iconic than this
species with funny binomials discovered this year
Zig (genus de novo) zag (a Malagasy legless skink related to Paracontias), March 2026. Zig is the first new genus of Malagasy skinks discovered since the 19th century, so this is quite notable! New species discoveries are common, new genus discoveries are much rarer. Some new Scincidae genera have been named recently in the form of splits from other (wastebasket taxon) genera, however, discovering a completely unknown highly divergent lineage like this is a rarity. Zig zag is a special little boop noodle.
Solenostomus snuffleupagus (sp. nov), May 2026 (literally, study was released a week ago), a new species of ghost pipefish, named for its fuzzy appearance bearing resemblance to Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street (pictured above). The genus Solenostomus contains six other species of ghost pipefishes. However S. snuffleupagus is so highly divergent in appearance, that when it was spotted in 2001 it was immediately known to be strange. It took 25 years of searching the Great Barrier Reef to officially find & scientifically describe this bizarre fish.
S. paradoxus, the type species of Solenostomus.
S. leptosoma, another species, to make clear the typical appearance of a ghost pipefish and why S. snuffleupagus is distinctive.
Though not all species were sequenced, genome sequencing suggests that S. snuffleupagus is the most evolutionary divergent of all Solenostomus (Maroubra, a syngnathid true pipefish, is used as the outgroup).
For context, what Solenostomus is:
Solenostomus is a monotypic genus (the only genus in its family) in the family Solenostomidae. They comprise the sister taxon to the Syngnathidae (the true pipefishes, seadragons, and kin, which contains the famous seahorse Hippocampus). Unfortunately, in Solenostomus, males do not get pregnant (the only thing that would have made S. snuffleupagus even more incredible), but they are closely related to the true pipefishes (all of which exhibit male pregnancy).
Those are two incredible discoveries within just the span of two months, here's to more wonderful scientific names!
