I am a goth first and foremost forever but there's something beautiful about industrial music in when there's some sort of strange sound and then a sentence you just kind of wouldn't expect to hear in music

the thing about "birds are dinosaurs" is it forces people to confront the idea of dinosaurs as like a part of natural history, a biological animal clade that really for real lived and breathed and were sometimes strange and sometimes small and sometimes peaceful and sometimes ugly, and not as Cool Monsters or a metaphor for Progress. and people don't like that. they say no, actually, when i use dinosaur i mean "weird stupid extinct giant lizard lizard monster" and birds aren't part of that category. and i say. you shouldnt use dinosaurs that way. go suck a baculum.

technical and formal way to say the animal in this fossil looks as if it died badly

[i-draws-dinosaurs]

"this individual appears to have experienced rapid terminal disassembly prior to sedimentary deposition"

[syncarida]

when you're like wow my animal from the fossil died badly 💔 but then you remember it's probably an exoskeleton so it survived

[syncarida]

but then you remember actually it's hundreds of millions of years old so it definitely died

Today’s echinoderm is Ophiopholis kennerlyi, commonly known as the Daisy brittle star according to inaturalist. This one is still a tiny baby plankton.

ive unintentionally made "yucklet eyes" a term i use commonly so i will define it here. i dont know what anyone else calls this but yucklet eyes are when any animal does this especially if it's eyes dont normally look like that

“We decided to make the most of a quiet afternoon by ringing some Manx Shearwater chicks. With over 15,000 pairs on the island, most with a single chick down a single burrow, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was an easy, straightforward task. But the burrows which the Manxies excavate can be deep and awkward, and a few inconsiderately placed rocks and right angle bends in the tunnels made finding the chicks an epic task. Some of them are becoming quite fat but still have another 25 or so days left in their burrows before they make their first flight. The grey down which covers their body like a giant fleece insulates them well from the damp conditions in their burrow. We take wing length measurements as well as weights and this allows us to calculate their age and how well they are being fed. This particular chick is around 50 days old, and weighed over half a kilogram!” © Richard Brown
