I've said it once and I'll say it again: I've said it once and I'll say it again.

dragon becoming incredibly enamored with the concept of digital files

[hemipenal-system]

young punk dragons are getting very into music sharing. you can have as many things as you want in a tiny amount of space, and you can give those things to other people without losing them for yourself. it’s a wet dream for dragon hoards. they’re treating it like collectible card games. they’re all searching for trendy obscure music and playfully trying to one-up each other, and then swapping music tastes and recommendations

two dragons sharing a pair of earbuds with their tails entwined. peace and love on planet earth

In terms of science communication and space exploration advocacy, Elon Musk has sent us back into the fucking Stone Age.

[neilarmstrong]

It’s hard enough to encourage the public to see the value in space exploration, especially when the problems facing society right now are so intense that space exploration seems frivolous and needlessly expensive by comparison (keyword “seems”) but now that this clown is the face of the future of space, it’s doubling, hell, tripling down on the idea that space exploration is a fantasy for bored billionaires that would rather fuck off to mars and escape the problems of earthly society (problems that they had a starring role in creating) rather than spend a penny of their wealth to help remedy them. Tale as old as time for a science communicator. Heard it a million times. But now it’s so much harder to get people to understand the other side of the coin because the nightmare scenario is already here and his name is elongated muskrat

[neilarmstrong]

To add a little bit of context as to what that value actually is… The thing I hear the most in this conversation is “we need to take care of this planet before we start thinking about other ones.” Yes, I agree. The well-being of our planet and it’s people should be out top priority. But we can’t properly take care of our planet if we don’t fully understand it.

The Earth does not exist in a bubble. It’s part of a dynamic and ever-evolving solar system, and galaxy and universe. He have to look at the earth in that context to be able to know and care for it. To care for a planet, we have to know how planets work. When doctors treat patients they look at the medical record, they look at family history, they look at symptoms and compare them to known diseases to find a diagnosis.

How did the earth form? What was it like in the past? Why did it change? That’s the medical record.

We’ve got the earths siblings in the neighborhood. Why is Mars a frozen desert? Why is Venus a molten hell scape? Could those things happen here? That’s the family history.

What kinds of things are floating around our neighborhood? Could they affect us? All this is necessary to diagnose the Earths problem, to anticipate the direction it’s going, and to help it heal.

And the minute we get an asteroid scare, that’s when folks start asking why we weren’t looking up 🙄

[neutrinotempest]

As a science communicator at a well known establishment, 10000x this. We have a student program that talk about Earth systems and how missions like Landsat were so useful to understand our own planet better FROM SPACE. I could go on and on but just, like, reread OP's thoughts, they're perfect.

Owls create snow angel imprints while hunting in winter when they swoop down to catch mice or squirrels.

[mousegirlheart]

wrong that imprint is all that's left of them after i disintegrate them with my Mouse Beam for even daring to look at me. it's a warning to other owls. don't even try and step to me. never interrupt a mouse frolicking in the snow.

shoutout to flags that look like landscapes fr gotta be one of my favorite genders

[jonnystrebor]

Not to forget:

[mousegirlheart]

with things like the Hopkinsville Goblins and Mothman likely simply being misidentified owls, I'm choosing to believe every cryptid is just an owl. Bigfoot? Big owl. The Kraken? Wet owl. Drop Bears? It was owls all along.

look at that Fresno Nightcrawler go, baby.

[mousegirlheart]

Flatwoods Monster. Grays. It's owls the whole way down. Area 51 is just an owl sanctuary.

[hungrymilliek]

Loch Ness monster? Big wet owl.

[mousegirlheart]

ill be damned

[madmonksandmaenads]

This is a historical trend going back to ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA. The Mesopotamians had a type of malicious night spirit called the Lilitu (it shows up in some of the Fragments of Gilgamesh). The word was adopted into Hebrew, and appears as a name for the Screech Owl.

LILITH IS ALSO AN OWL

In the Roman period there was a blood sucking nocturnal monster called the Strix. They were sometimes described as humans transformed into these life draining monsters.

VAMPIRES ARE ALSO OWLS!

It's owls all the way down!

The amazing transgender circus 🎪

[magicpiano]

People who haven't seen Madoka Magica might not know this, but both the characters Mami and Homura are magical girls who use guns as weapons. But while Mami's gun are magical, Homura's are literally just normal guns she stole from the government.

[open-sketchbook]

i really really love the magical muskets for a really specific reason, which is that blackpowder guns are way older than people think and should 100% be treated with similar mythological weight to swords and spears and stuff at this point, and they should have equal prominence in generic fantasy fiction stuff.

lemme put it this way; european longswords and european cannons are siblings. they emerged at basically the same time in the early 1300s, and when the longsword was at its peak use in the mid-1400s, the musket was beginning to proliferate.

likewise, the 'modern' style of katana only started being made in the century leading up to the introduction of muskets to Japan; in fact, the reason the katana became The Samurai Sword was because it was a small practical blade you could wear while you carried a gun.

if you can picture your setting having a sword you can use with two hands, then you should have hand cannons. if your knights have full plate, then there should be matchlocks. if you have a magical girl with a sabre, then you should have magical girls with flintlocks.
