Science is beauty. Beauty is pain.

An autistic weirdo's blog about science, autism, and other stuff. Maybe llamas. Middy, 20-ish, lacks a proper sense of aesthetic. Sometimes acts like an adult. He/Him/His.

*grabs my soapbox and gets on it* It doesn’t matter who you ship who with or your reasoning, shipping doesn’t always have to make sense *gets off* and not every relationship has to be romantic. *throws it at someone*

I ship the person at whom you threw the soapbox with the soapbox. Enemies to lovers.

I was trying to save an earthworm the other day (it was sunny and the soil was pretty hard in that location). After moving it, digging around it to make going into the soil easier, wetting the worm and the soil, the worm slowed down a lot. Thinking it had given up or was taking a breather, I tried to poke it with dead grass to make sure it understood that it was not safe. And then it just... severed itself?! Like when a lizard severs its own tail! No blood! And the tail was wriggling like crazy! And it worked in distracting me, because I did not see where it went. Hopefully underground.

But why do they not tell us this in school? I am kind of glad they didn't, because the surprise made it so much more fascinating! It's been a week and I still think about it every day.

So enjoy nature while you can because it is very weird!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY! 🖤🩶🤍💜

(Jacobin) pigeon + Aegosexual Pride Flag, requested by @kaseth

When we received a pigeon request it was a perfect opportunity to indulge myself and draw one of the flashiest pigeons out there - a Jacobin pigeon! And I had a blast trying to incorporate this specific flag as a plumage pattern. ^^

Personal use with credit welcome and encouraged!

Today our ace artist has decided to gift fellow Natural History enjoyers who happen to be ace (or know someone who is) with sketches of animals and ace-umbrella flags you've requested some time ago.

Join us throughout the day as we post brand new sketches every couple of hours!

Elaeomyxa cerifera (Myxomycete). Slime Mold. This species has a characteristic ring of wax around the top of the stalk. The thin-film irdescence occurs consistently as bands of different colours, possible due to a consistent variation in the peridial membrane thickness.

I'm kind of grateful for the fashionable, washable masks made popular by the pandemic. Now I can look fabulous while sweeping and not spend an evening coughing afterwards!

I'm alive, just got crazy busy. Will start writing new chapter next week if I'm not too dead.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Watching the Miraculous Ladybug events unfurl solely through tumblr posts is kind of wild.

One day, everyone is complaining how the narrative is showing that the love square is doomed. A few months later, everyone is hyping marichat, then AdrienxMarinette is canon. Also, Adrien unknowingly killed his dad slowly? But his dad also forced him and other rich kids in blank rooms? Also also, Félix forced everyone to watch him perform a musical?

Adult problem I did not anticipate:

A spider hid in my dirty clothes right before I did the laundry. I searched every garment, no spider. The hamper is empty as well and has no holes. I dread putting on a shirt and ending up with a spider corpse on my face.

it’s been said before obviously but it bears repeating, gotg specifically featuring music from the 60s/70s/80s/90s and then purposely choosing a song from the 2000s as the last song of the trilogy as a symbol of the gang moving on from their past traumas and healing is a cinematic masterpiece

Me: okay seriously, they couldn't market the romance any more blatantly short of saying it's a love story

Zoe: IT’S A LOVE STORY

I fell in love with this cute little fella... red-crested turaco 😍

I came across this picture while researching wildlife in Missouri. It’s called a Ruffed Grouse. It courts with percussive sounds. Otherwise it sounds like a seal.
