Here’s my little thylacine figurines! I’ve just finished stringing a bunch. Theyre kind of BJDs (they’re smaller than the more articulated BJD thylas I posted the other day). I’ve just listed a few on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com

people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to

your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:

Befriend

Tell story

Make Thing

Investigate

Share knowledge

Laugh

Sing

Dance

Empathize with

Create

we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands

your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way

What a wonderful world!

This beautiful flower mantis was found in Nkutu Valley on Sunday. Experts said she looked like a pregnant female as you could see her broadening frilled edged belly beginning to extend sideways. She loves to hunt bees that visit the flowers of herbs such as purple and rose pelargonium, she sits at flowers and catches bees with her camouflage.

I had to look this up because i thought there was no way these little faerie cabin-building caterpillars were real

Theyre magical

me: [taking a piss in my own house like normal]

my anxiety: “what if someone slipped you hallucinogenic drugs and you’re actually in walmart right now pissing in the middle of the store?” 

me: “…we’ll confront that problem when we come to it”
