i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

This reminds me of the blood river in Antarctica. For like a century scientists had no clue why this river looked like, acted like, and felt exactly like blood. Turns out it’s just really high in iron.

"Blood River in Antartica" yeah right there's no way a river looks like bl-

...nevermind

Blood Falls isn't just high in iron, it's the byproducts of extremophile bacteria that have been isolated under a glacier in a iron- and sulfur-rich anoxic brine for the past 5 million years.

have the vampires tried it to see if they like it? I bet they'd like it. I mean unless what they really like is haemoglobin and platelets, then they're shit outta luck but still if I were undead I'd totally give it a go

Saw some lady at the train station with a long flowing white skirt, walking a dog with a long flowing white fur, and they both were glowing equally in the contre-jour light of sunshine. Had to draw a rough sketch of them and then shittily shade it on my phone so I'll remember to try to draw them later.

Meadow in the morning ☘️

Today I had to be at work at 6 am. When I arrived at my bus stop, this beautiful sunrise landing on the meadow delighted my eyes. Sometimes I really want to live a little longer.

I love it when a classicist has clearly gotten so lost in the BCE sauce that their perception of time has become deeply warped. Case in point: the article I’m currently reading just described the Byzantine era as “a period relatively modern.”

shrimp are the most powerful animals in the world

Let me explain the set of circumstances that led to this Eulimnadia clam shrimp living out its entire live cycle in a styrofoam cup on the ground.

The cup fell, blew, or rolled into a sideways position on the rocks where it could hold some water and rain could still splash into it, but it wasn't immediately cooked by direct sunlight. There hasn't been enough rain to fill the surface of that ditch itself for years, but evidently at least one shrimp egg from the soil from a past year must have rolled into the cup or been pushed there by a bug or animal, plus some dried bits of algae and microbes, and enough dead leaf bits and soil to feed them. Then, for at least a week (based on shrimp's size), enough rain fell to keep the cup full enough to grow not only the shrimp, but enough things for it to feed on. So, now it's just in there, quietly eating microbes and filtering water in a single cup on the ground, laying clone eggs into the tiny bit of dirt at the bottom and doing whatever. It's good sized and healthy, too. This isn't even that unusual of a container; I've found them in old tires before.

You can hopefully see why I have to tell as many people about these things as possible.
