my senior english teacher told me that any scene with a woman in a cornfield in every piece of literature ever is about her journey to womanhood/pleasuring herself in the field and i just.... believed her
Over 10 years ago I drew this mother naga with her kid and a bowl of gulab jamun, and I was blown away to see people still reblogging it and saying kind things here. I decided to draw a sequel, the PTA (People That are Anacondas) meeting is over, and she finally gets to have some gulab jamun. c: I really hope this cheers you up some.
peeling those sour rainbow gummy strips into long thin strings and putting them into cheap energy drink to create something im calling battery acid spaghetti will update once ive finished it
unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite
YES I LOVE IPÊS! There's a yellow one down the street, they are VERY common and they are fucking AMAZING! Whenever I see anyone praising cherry blossoms /in brazil specifically/ I just go ????? bitch we have those in MANY COLORS at home??? pretty as fuck??
There are 7 species that are known, and yeah I google translated it for lack of time in my lunch break but here:
Yellow Ipê (Handroanthus chrysotrichus, Handroanthus serratifolius, etc.): It is the most famous and the national symbol. Its intense yellow flowering usually occurs between August and September, announcing the arrival of spring. There are several varieties, some with flowers in lighter shades, others more golden.
Pink Ipê (Handroanthus impetiginosus): With flowers ranging from light pink to vibrant fuchsia, the Pink Ipê is equally spectacular. Its flowering usually occurs before the yellow one, between July and August, transforming gray landscapes into enchanted gardens.
Purple Ipê (Handroanthus heptaphyllus): Characterized by flowers in deep purple, almost violet tones, the Purple Ipê usually blooms between June and August. It is one of the most robust and largest species.
White Ipê (Handroanthus roseoalba): Elegant and delicate, the White Ipê offers breathtaking flowering with its pure white flowers. It blooms between August and September, often alongside the Yellow Ipê, creating a beautiful contrast.
Green Ipê (Cybistax antisyphilitica): Less known and with more discreet flowers in shades of yellowish-green, the Green Ipê is an exception to the rule of vibrant colors. Its flowering generally occurs between September and October. It is more valued for its wood.
Dwarf Ipê (Tecoma stans): Also known as Garden Ipê or Little Yellow Ipê, it is a shrub or small tree that blooms profusely with yellow flowers almost all year round in warm climates. It is ideal for smaller gardens or as a flowering hedge.
Tobacco Ipê (Handroanthus ochraceus): With flowers in shades of burnt yellow or bronze-orange, the Tobacco Ipê offers a different nuance within the family of yellow Ipês. Its flowering generally occurs between August and September.
It makes me sad how no one ever seems to mention how wild the crocodilian-line archosaurs were. Dinosaurs get all the attention when there was equally crazy shit happening on the other branch of the archosaur tree.
There was a whole linage of bipedal crocodylomorphs during the Triassic that were basically identical to theropod dinosaurs, so much so that a lot of them were initially classified as dinosaurs!
Just fucking look at them!
And these weren’t just little lizard guys, there were some big lads running around.
Not to mention the long-legged ones that galloped around on all fours like some kind of terrifying reptilian dogs.
These crazy crocodiles aren’t just from the Triassic, either; there was a galloping, hoofed crocodilian that lived during the Eocene and likely hunted horses. (They were smaller and not quite as fast as modern horses, but still)
But don’t worry, they weren’t all meat-eaters! There were vegetarian and omnivore crocodylomorphs too! Just look at this guy!
He was an ankylosaur before ankylosaurs were cool (or even existed).
Good question! The basic body plan of “aquatic sausage” was always around in the crocodilian family tree, and lived alongside all these other body plans. It’s not that their legs got shorter, it’s just that the others have died out and we were left with the stubby-legged ones. It’s the form that stood the rest of time to be around today!
But, remember, modern crocodiles aren’t as slow as they look. Modern crocodiles can gallop at up to 20 mph. If one of them decides to go after you, they can absolutely run you down just like their ancestors could, and they have the most powerful bite force of any currently living animal.
when i was 8 i had a very intimidating russian woman as a music teacher- she was both my opera instructor and piano teacher. about a month into piano, she sat me down and said to my mother and i "this child- very beautiful voice, good for singing. i will not allow this child to continue piano. god did not want this child to play an instrument. he told me this in dreams. that is all."
my mom had it written down on a slip so we could remember the exact words because it was so funny. i HATED playing piano and i was definitely not good at it (i did end up having a good 5 years of opera training and ended up being a pretty accomplished choir singer though) and the idea of god sending my incredibly severe and serious russian piano teacher a dream begging her to stop teaching me piano was probably the funniest way it could have gone.
