Result of the Wellington Formation #paleostream! People like to think of the Carboniferous as the time of the giant insects but they actually reached their peak in the early Permian. And here in Kansas we find the largest: Meganeuropsis, which in our case in going after a...

smaller griffonfly. Below it other insects scatter while amphibians lazily swim through the warm waters at the edge of the shallow lake, Edaphosaurus basking in the sun in the back. Without any flying vertebrates insects would remain the kings of the skies for a long time...

The Wellington Formation preserves a highly seasonal playa lake environment, with ephemeral bodies of water that would burst into life during rainy season. This formation is part of the Permian red beds which are usually known for their exceptional tetrapod fauna...

But instead you get here a very rich fauna of insects, many of them being large to giant. Beyond that we have a few more regular red beds creatures here Size chart by discord members JW and Montana

So I made the decision to buy Tomodachi life, and I was like “hey I’ll put some of my favorite transformers in it!” what I didn’t expect was for Beast Wars Megatron and Victory StarSaber to fall head over heels for eachother. The slow burn is intense. I repeat, the slow burn is working. Also Inferno likes Apache from BW 2… so, yeah okay yaoi island over here

Also just Inferno and Starsaber interacting is hilarious to me

[tiktaaliktalker]

I see some of you like Apache so I give you an update… Apache and Inferno want to marry and Starsaber is running when he bumps into Megs cause he has such a huge crush (they still haven’t confessed)

Also here’s the Jan and Lio Convoy I have :]

I’m gonna try going to therapy through my school, there’s two 20 minute walk ins from different people I’m going to, then I’m also trying to get a different appointment/consult to see if I’m eligible.

It’s a lot I know but I’m so unsure of myself. Honestly my mental health is shit to the point where one of my professors noticed haha. So.. yeah. I’m going to try and get some help with school and all the things. Most of it should be free hopefully.

So trying a 60 minute one tmr instead, hopefully I can get out of this ditch I’ve been in this semester. I just feel so stuck with everything, and I’m not sure if I should email my professors or what. I’ve barely turned in anything in two classes, and it’s the same professor so I’m convinced he hates me! Might send an email and ask for help.

I’m terrified of what he’s going to email back. I’m terrified of letting down everyone I know. Does academic probation kick me out of college if I don’t improve that semester? Is everything I’ve been working towards all for nothing?

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

scientists on this post: yuuuup 👍

people who aren't scientists: um actually ☝️

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

[twoblogger]

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

[angel-derangement]

I hate it too tbh
