kank australis, a VERY recently described coelurosaurid theropod from south america, with an elongated snout and a curved neck, that likely hunted fish like a heron (art credit to gabriel díaz yantén @/paleogdy)

harundosaurus montanus (the "dip"), a coelurosaurid theropod from central/south america, with an elongated snout and a curved neck, that hunted fish like a heron (from the fictional speculative evolution work "the new dinosaurs" by dougal dixon)

i think this is an awesome case of speculative evolution and real evolution converging on a similar organism! "the new dinosaurs" came out in 1988, over 30 years before the k. australis fossils were even discovered, and almost 40 years before the paper that described it was published. however, dixon predicted a dinosaur with a heron-like lifestyle that has some remarkable similarities to this real animal that has just been discovered!

i hope mr dixon has seen this newly described dinosaur and noted the similarities to his own creation :-)

these lyrics from super trouper are how my gf makes me feel tbh 🥹

Every time you give Spamton a warm blanket or soup or $50.00 Amazon Gift Card or Fabulous Ice Cream Sundae, I deploy my crew of unemployed gender-diverse henchpeople to grab him off the street and hold him down while I push his hairline back another 5 centimeters.

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

[valtsv]

all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.

[sillywormz]

i do not know how to draw and can't draw but it's ok bc i am learning and growing. i might be slower than many other people but i go at my own pace 😁👍 love and beauty forever

Befriending an artist who you deeply admire probably never ceases entirely to feel totally bewildering and surreal.

[stjohnstarling]

Pablo Picasso is in my DMs. Vincent Van Gogh is my Tumblr mutual and he's sending 16 smirking face emojis to me right now.

In Wisconsin your two biggest sports teams are the Green Bay meat packaging plant employees and the Milwaukee alcohol distillery workers and you just have to pretend that's normal.

[bogosortbeat]

Trueeeee as fuck actually. The Packers are the only publicly owned team in the NFL and the only major american sports franchise that's a nonprofit org too yet another Cheesehead W.

The worst thing you can do, as someone who has recently realised they are transfem, is to let terves and transphobes convince you cis women will never accept you.

I was told that when I came out everyone would reject me. That I would find myself isolated from the world, and from other women especially, who would react to me with horror and revulsion.

In reality, within the first months of coming out, in no particular order:

My sister's reaction on my coming out was, "Right, so I have a sister instead of a brother. Cool. I'm taking you clothes shopping tomorrow."

A friend, when she learned I am a woman, immediately invited me to her women-only, girls-night-out birthday party the following week.

Another friend, when a friend of hers expressed doubts about my gender, immediately shut them down and reaffirmed I am a woman.

I went camping with a group of friends, and we had two tents, one for the boys and one for the girls; I was unsure as to which I should enter, to which a girl friend responded by grabbing me and physically dragging me inside the women's tent.

In the women's bathroom at a movie theatre a random woman, whom I'd never seen before and haven't seen since, stopped me as I was going into a stall, to warn me there was no toilet paper in there, because she'd just used the last of it.

All of these, and more, some from friends, some from complete strangers. All within a few months, as a trans woman who hadn't started medical transition yet, and was very visible as being a trans woman.

I've had some people reject me, true, but the vast majority, including almost all cis women, accepted me as a sister with open arms.

Cis women are cool. It's terves who are bigots.

I am pro-accredited aquariums and zoos. My posts critiquing the animal rights movement are blowing up right now and I just want to come out and say definitively that I appreciate zoos and aquariums allowing the public to view wild animals without potentially disturbing them in their natural habitat or resorting to the illegal exotic pet trade. It is valuable for conservation purposes and many aquariums/zoos take unreleasable wildlife and host breeding programs for endangered species. They are not just institutions for human amusement, they are integral to maintaining public interest and studying the ecology and biology of the animals contained within.

[hollyevolving]

This.

And, to add in support of OP, part of the conservation work of accredited zoos & aquariums (AZA in the United States, for example) is to participate in breeding programs that go on to increase native wild populations, and even restore native species that would have otherwise gone extinct in the wild.

Accredited zoos and aquariums support the natural world.
