Oh yeah, these little weirdos are such a trip. Oh yeah, barnacle? You just gonna grow on whatever the f you want? Well how would you like it if someone did that to you, huh? Get barnacled, barnacle!

[ID: Bugs Bunny in a suit meme, edited to read "I wish all Etruscan shrews a very pleasant brain-regrowing season."]

It's spring! [x]

[fiercestpurpose]

Happy first day of spring!

[fiercestpurpose]

I happen to think this is a) an incredibly fun fact and b) a pretty funny way to convey it, but despite my efforts (reblogging this once a year), I have yet to get “brain regrowing season” to take off.

[fiercestpurpose]

Some additional Etruscan shrew facts:

They’re the smallest mammal if you measure by mass, coming in at under 2g. That’s tiny.

Because they’re so small, their volume to surface area ratio is messed up, and they are constantly in danger of their body temperature dropping. Their very high metabolism is what keeps them alive.

Their brains can shrink by up to 28% over the winter, so that they don’t have to keep it warm and fed during the coldest season.

They don’t even live where it’s super cold — as the name suggests, they’re found around the Mediterranean, as well as in parts of Southeast Asia. But they’re very sensitive to the cold, on account of being tiny.

They’re so tiny!!! 😭😭😭

#would love to see a picture of these little dudes

From Wikimedia. They’re beautiful and very small.

I hope my brain will regrow this season as well...

During a high speed car chase pursuit, the FOX 11 Los Angeles helicopter had an unexpected moment when they spotted a rooster and a chicken casually walking down the sidewalk right in the middle of the pursuit.

[reblogmonstah]

The fact that they were walking 1-3mph

His joy and whimsy at seeing this

His acknowledgement of it not being as interesting as the chase

His little "huh" cuz you know they told him to focus

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

[insomniac-arrest]

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.
