beastly reminder

bruneburg

Almost. Years ago my computer suddenly stopped working and lost everything on it. Fortunately a relatively recent backup still existed bc of my family, a recent parts switch, and dumb luck. But last year a friend of mine got hacked and lost close to everything he had done creatively in the last 17-ish years. Art. Novels in progress. Entire conlangs. DnD character Sheets. Music he had made. All gone. He never backed any of it up. Few months later I started this habit (or ritual, almost) of drawing a reminder beast any time I would make a full complete backup. In hopes that seeing these things might remind others and myself. (Another factor here is that I am an animator and some of the stuff on my computer took literal years to make. And the film university I go to urges us to take this stuff seriously, too.)

They say socialism is bad because their masters told them to believe it and they do so without question. They don't actually know what half the shit they say means. And when confronted, they just make shit up and call you a leftist puppet when you prove them wrong.

Honestly though, I'd rather be a leftist puppet then a pedo supporter. But what do I know? I'm just a Canadian that know more about American politics then the average Republican.

You know what they haven’t given us in the United States? EMS as an essential service everywhere in all 50 states. Wake up everyone! When it comes to public safety, we need more than just POLICE and Fire.

Proboscis Bat Rhynchonycteris naso

It is found from southern Mexico to Belize, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as in Trinidad. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: most of them line up, one after another, on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row.

In the photo, the two bats on the lower left are carrying young.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

you ever think about how funny it is that basically every animal on earth has a secret shiny player 2 palette swap just in its back pocket

Would it help to know there's more?

Melanism is the reverse of albinism, the animal has an excess of pigementation.

And then there's Abundism; where there's only a partial excess resulting in much larger patches of melanin but without completely covering the animal

And Leucism which is partial albinism.

Also erythrism which is an overabundance of red pigment and xanthism which is an overabundance of yellow pigment! Most domestic goldfish have xanthism, that’s what makes them gold (wild ones are brown)!

I love rebloging. It’s the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.

While China's push to modernize sparked a surge in burning coal, India is turning to increasingly cheap solar to meet its booming energy nee

Most countries have followed a similar trend in energy usage as they industrialize, dramatically increasing their use of the dirtier fossil fuels, especially coal. Although they are now building out renewables faster than anywhere else on Earth, China is the biggest recent example of this.

However, India seems to be taking a different path--one that has recently become viable with the dramatically dropping prices of solar and battery storage. India's economy is now growing faster than China's and they are fueling this growth mostly with renewables.

This would make India the first major country to power it's industrialization with renewable energy, essentially skipping the step between coal and transitioning to cleaner forms of energy.
