The Human Trampoline

"There is a girl in New York City / Who calls herself the human trampoline / And sometimes when I’m falling, flying / Or tumbling in turmoil I say / Whoa, so this is what she means" --Paul Simon, "Graceland" ------------------ Theatre, queerness, and cute animals. Have a great day!

I had an old baby owlbear design that I decided to spiff up. Now cuter and fluffier than ever, you can buy this cutie on Threadless, Redbubble, and Teepublic.

Sales help support a queer art student and bonus, you get adorable owlbear merch.

a contender for the most beautiful snail I’ve met: this exquisite Helicina from Costa Rica, which was delightfully abundant where I found it.

at only around 7-8mm long, they would glide around on green leaves like little jewels. I’m happier now knowing that these exist in the world

[crevicedwelling]

if you look closely, you’ll notice that it has only one set of tentacles, which lack eyes; the eyes are situated at their base. this hints that the fact that helicinids are distantly related to other land snails (who’ve got the familiar eyestalk pair + oral tentacle pair arrangement) and are instead closer to marine and freshwater snails like nerites and some limpets—they convergently evolved to come on land, and I’m so glad they did!

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Not to oversimplify a complex issue, but i think we could reduce the number of deadly car crashes by increasing wages and having shorter work weeks.

hunter only eating rations because they're bland and most foods taste incredibly overwhelming to him. hunter wearing over-the-ear headphones when he gets the chance. hunter sleeping with a blindfold on because the light from tech's scanner down the hall makes his head hurt. hunter is like that because he's just so fucking overstimulated all the time. hunter with mad sensory issues does anyone hear me.

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are

[hbmmaster]

"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for

there's something really fun about how like. according to all Sources i have found many sailors abandoned the royal navy for piracy because the navy was so hierarchical and the officers were given so much power and piracy was the more egalitarian and democratic option. but flint comes from the navy as someone who managed to work his way up to officer and as someone who seems to prefer to function inside those rigid structures, or at least to be most at home there. so even as he is ostensibly fighting for the greater egalitarianism of the pirate world and of progressive values in general it's just not something that he personally is able to value. he doesn't have a democratic bone in his body. he went to the pirate republic talking about kings and wanting to quite literally run it like the navy and tried to fight for that pirate republic while acting like his word was law and every democratic proceeding was an annoying hinderance to his dictatorial rule. it's so good. i like him
