the amethyst sunbird, sometimes known as the black sunbird, is a passerine bird native to the afrotropics. they can make themselves at home in a diverse array of habitats, and are common in woodland, mesic savanna, and even suburban gardens. they occur more sparsely in dry areas, as they need plentiful nectar-bearing plants to thrive. their diet is almost entirely composed of nectar, insects, and spiders; the unique curved bill, a characteristic of sunbirds, allows the birds to more easily access nectar within flowers. they are sexually dimorphic, with males being primarily black with iridescent patches, and females being primarily brown streaked with buff markings. during the breeding season, the female works to build the nest, often in a eucalyptus or pine tree; they are typically attached to a drooping branch or hidden by foliage. nests are constructed of long, thin grass stems, held together with cobwebs. only two eggs are laid per clutch, but multiple clutches may be laid in one breeding season. subpopulations of amethyst sunbirds show variations in their resting metabolic rates, basal metabolic rate, and thermal neutral zones based on individual subpopulations’ acclimation to different altitudes. the birds more acclimated to high altitudes have lower metabolic rates and a larger thermal neutral zone. this means that, when needed, the amethyst sunbird is capable of altering their physiology in response to altitude & temperature to reach the ideal metabolic rate & temperature regulation for them to thrive in their environment.

- the killer gets you

- the enderman instinct

- they turn into a flock of ravens and disperse

Drew the moth as a member of one of my fantasy races! He will probably become a background character in one of my stories <3

Okay but I get this. All of you worms who have things blocked on your wifi or whatever and have IbisPaint this is how you do it

Open IbisPaint go to a canvas (any canvas, or make. a new one)

Select the font tool (if you don’t know what or where that is, press the tool icon (normally a paint brush or eraser) and press the T button

From there you should be able to create a text box (writing is not important…). Find the font button and add a new font. I can’t remember what it’s called but you’ll know when you see it

It’ll automatically search for you “free fonts.” Do not follow this. Your app is misdirecting you. Instead search up whatever it is you’re looking for in the search bar, and that should work

Knowledge should not be trapped behind bars, bend and break them until you can grasp it

it’s so fucked up when you see something you KNOW is a portal to somewhere but you can’t figure out how to activate it. this is the most frustrating feeling that plagues modern man.

I have somehow convinced my toddler so firmly of the effectiveness of vaccines that they now believe that, since they just had their shots, they are impervious to disease and should be allowed to lick the bath mat
