just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

[scienceoftheidiot]

They existed *before beetles*

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

First quote from the linked article. Found it poetic.

[suspiciousmammal]

Absolutely fascinated by how the original belgian draft horse, the brabant, just looks like your usual heavy draft horse:

And then American breeders decided to….. improve….. it:

sir that thing looks like it’s made of plastic

[hapalopus]

I feel like American breeders just have a tendency to do this. Behold, the French Percheron vs the American Percheron

The British Shetland Pony vs the American Shetland Pony

And it’s not just horses. Compare the English Cocker Spaniel with the American Cocker Spaniel

[suspiciousmammal]

Nevermind. Forget I ever said anything. I don’t want to talk about the yassified belgians anymore.

"Walkable city" is not "City where to have to walk everywhere."

"Walkable city" is.

Sidewalks big enough to fit you, your stroller, your wheelchair, your guide dog, or anything else you need when you're getting from one place to another.

Safe crosswalks frequent enough so you don't need to walk in traffic.

Bike lanes to keep bikes out of foot traffic and car traffic.

Accessible and affordable public transit.

Cities where the essentials are close enough you can travel on foot (or in wheelchair)

Cities where it's reasonable to be able to get from point a to point b without requiring you, yourself, to drive

People get so caught up in the "Walkable" part of the term and like to spout "Walkable cities are abelist because not everyone can walk".

Bitch. The modern city structure is abelist because not everyone can drive. And classist because not everyone can afford a car and it's pretty damn impossible to get a job if you don't have a car.

Walkable cities are cities where people can reasonably get from pointA to pointB without requiring a motor vehicle.

"But fae. Disabled people have issues using the paths in modern cities." Bitch abled people can barely use the paths in modern cities. That's kind of the fucking problem.

Also walkable cities have fucking benches. Not only for disabled people. But sometimes you just twist your ankle and need to sit for a moment.

"Put fae. If you have benches, homeless people will sleep on them."

Then get fucking housing for the homeless. Problem solved. They'll sleep in their nice warm homes instead of on the benches.

Additional things I’d like for the Walkable Cities:

-Water-Fountains. Just, free, public water-fountains. Maybe also get the kind that has the “for dogs” lower spigot/bowl thing? But definitely water-fountains.

-Public Parks (at least those that reach a certain size) should have Public Restrooms. Again, this just makes life better for everyone.

god some of you are just so weird about having content on this site

"justify"?! babes it's a bullshit internet scrapbook not a fucking phd thesis

You know the thing where you find something funny and you hold out your phone to your friend so they can see it too?

Reblogging is just you holding out your phone to show us the neat thing you found

[shofarsogood]

Some people: I won't reblog something unless it's deeply meaningful and I can contribute.

Me: time to reblog fifteen pictures of frogs, three pieces of fanart, twelve shitposts, and six political posts about somewhat niche issues!

[gildatheplant]

To be honest, I almost never press the like button, I almost always reblog. I mean, if I like something, it just makes sense that I’d share it.
