They should let you have multiple pinned posts, and just put them in the order you pinned them. Alternatively, they get their own special little file, like how the likes do.

I want to pin the post about the way people love each other, but also the bleebo and the monkey jumping in a pond of some kind.

I feel like a small child whose arms are full of stuffed animals and keeps trying to carry more.

It is not a bad thing to have so many things to love, but it can be frustrating to not have arms big enough to carry them all.

Nevermind, I figured out how to get bigger arms

One day, this child is going to rule the world.

Bees are smart!

New research reveals that bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) are much more cognitively advanced than previously thought:

We've known for a while that they play with balls, count, recognize faces, and even feel rhythm. Now we know they can achieve one of the highest peaks of cognitive performance: spontaneously solving problems.

And like the chimps in prior research, using a tool was the bees’ own idea.

"This is essentially an insect version of the classic ‘box-and-banana’ problem," study author Olli Loukola said.

"The animal must realize that an object can be repositioned and then used as a tool to reach an otherwise inaccessible goal."

And then they did it.

This is the first research proving bees can have insights on par with large-brained vertebrates. It’s remarkable when you consider the vast difference in brain size - a bee’s 1 million neurons are capable of the same goal-oriented problem-solving as a chimp’s 2.8 billion.

Imagine the implications! How might you use this discovery for worldbuilding fantasy creatures and science-fiction aliens?

i feel like god made me and was like yeah lets give her the most worst fucking life ever and give her bits of hope there and there and then fuck her up even longer and just keep doing that for years and years and years

#It's like dragging yourself out of the ice towards warmth just to get pulled back into the freezing water again and again and again

Simon just wants to eat in peace man.

I finished reading a fic called The Patron Saints of One Way Trips! such a fun read hehehd

There's actually a lot of scenes that really stuck to me but I was in the mood for drawing Grace geeking out about Simon

…okay so what if the problem with the taomeba never happened on the way back home. What if the radiation never got onto the Blip-A. What if Rocky ended up back on Erid, and Grace made it back to Earth. What if they missed each other desperately forever.

What if Grace made a lopsided crochet Rocky and cuddled it every night.

What if Rocky couldn’t stop making xenonite puppets of his alien friend.

What if I made myself cry, what about that? Huh? What then?

He's lying on the red paint because it has more positive associations than negative ones. C'mon, this is basic color theory

hey real quick can anybody help me find this image that I’ve seen before here on tumblr. it looks like this

the button doesn’t necessarily say “Elucidate the Rapture” but it does say something that’s kind of lengthy and has religious connotations. the woman pushing the button has an expression of indescribable smugness. there might be other buttons on the machine (?) she is pressing.

Oh this is only the first image in the Eschatron 9000 Series

and the finale, because of the Tumblr image limit

thanks this is part of an even grander incomprehensibleness than I could have expected

I cannot believe that this is a website where you can ask “hey i think i saw a weird image once” and put a bad stick figure drawing of it and someone will be like “oh yeah that’s the first installment of a 12-part post-ironic apocalypse fever dream photoshop series” and just hand you a dozen of the most unhinged images you’ve ever seen in your life, that still have a better three act structure than most modern cinema

I dont think thats the whole photoset…. I found one more

But from what i can gather thats Crystal Thierry, also known as page73girl. Who seems to have been a model for the now defunct biggestletdown.com…

But i have no idea when the eschatron 9000 pictures were made or for that matter the original photos that were used to make it

this is far more than “random person in 2005ish creates surreal visual narrative” - let’s go deeper down the rabbit hole, shall we?

to Immanentize the Eschaton means to bring about utopian conditions and create heaven on Earth

the phrase is first cited in the Discordian religious text, Principia Discordia (1963), for whom Discord (aka Eris) is goddess:

the first line of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s 1975 The Illuminatus! trilogy: “It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton.”

in Frederik Pohl’s The Eschaton Sequence (1997 - 1999), the human race is caught up in a galactic war between two alien races attempting to immanentize the eschaton

in Ken Macleod's The Stone Canal (1997), one of the chapters is “Another crack at Immanentising the Eschaton”

Crystal Thierry’s (aka the modern Discordia / Eris) narrative lives in esteemed company

here’s what the warning in the image says btw because i wanted to read it but it was too blurry so i had to spend several minutes hunting for a version with better resolution, so I’m posting it here so nobody else has to make that same journey
