have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

original image: four panel comic titled "Proximity" by @JNYMFG (op). Each is numbered in the corner, counting from 3 down to 0.

Panel #3 is yellow-toned, with an over-the-shoulder shot of a cheerful man reading the newspaper headline MORE WAR and thinking: "How awful... but I have my own problems!" Panel #2 is orange-toned, showing a distraught woman reading the same headline, and thinking: "But my husband has family there!" Panel #1 is red-toned, showing a pensive man reading the same headline, and thinking: "If I'd stayed, maybe I could have saved them." Panel #0 is entirely blacked out.

reblog image: photo of poem titled The Diameter of the Bomb. Poem reads:

The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters and the diameter of its effective range - about seven meters. And in it four dead and eleven wounded. And around them in a greater circle of pain and time are scattered two hospitals and one cemetery. But the young woman who was buried where she came from over a hundred kilometers away enlarges the circle greatly. And the lone man who weeps over her death in a far corner of a distant country includes the whole world in the circle. And I won't speak at all about the crying of orphans that reaches to the seat of God and from there onward, making the circle without end and without God.

I've been hoping to draw more monke hugs for a while now, so here we are! The composition for this one was mainly inspired by the lovely fanfic Sleep Training by @tuima11 ! I imagine Wukong's supposed to be pretty short in the fic, but I ended up using my designs here anyway loll Anyways, go check out the fic if you want some platonic pining angst (and comfort)!!

The Hunger

[theprofessional-amateur]

I am really enjoying reading about the University of Wisconsin chancellor fired after the university discovered all the pornos he and his wife were making.

Generally when someone has a public sex scandal (or “scandal”) you get the standard “I am sorry. I regret it. It was a misjudgment on my part” but this guy is like “fuck you I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t violate conflict of interest clauses, you are violating my first amendment rights”

SEXY HEALTHY COOKING

[theprofessional-amateur]

I want to see this legal battle

We can’t do anything about hate speech but if there is consensual sexual activity involved!

[theprofessional-amateur]

I want the details about how this was discovered because it has a real “I saw the professor at the devil’s sacrament” “girl what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament 👀" vibe

[dabwax-deactivated20250410]

I know this is funny haha to a lot of people but I need yall to really internalize that this is a gentle example of what happens to sex workers. This is a white man in his 50s who turned to sex work for fun and lost his professional career. Now imagine how fucked it is for disabled impoverished sex workers to advertise themselves in a way that separates their identities and lives from their real ones because if they can't they're barred from most other jobs if ANYONE happens to find out. Aside from jobs, imagine how this affects custody battles and abuse cases and housing availability. Maybe it seems like everyone and their dog has an onlyfans and a pornhub channel and things are cool now, but we live under a christofash oligarchy and sex workers will always be trampled and spat on by most of society. This story is absurd but this isn't funny at all.

[buggachat]

eh, screw it *releases my fucked up vampire au from the confines of my mind*

anyway I decided my blog is for me and I can draw and post all the weird silly concepts of my dreams and nobody can stop me. I actually have a lot of potential comic ideas ping-ponging in my head for this AU — not a linear story or anything (beyond what's on this post), just some good fun and shenanigans.

upsides of listening to music:

music yay yay yay!!!!!! yaaaaay!!!! yipee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

downsides of listening to music

if you listen to the right song for the first time while in a certain headspace you will be changed forever as your soul shutters and warps and contorts into new forms never before seen

get an idea for an animatic you will never finish

[waveartsteppes]

Posting my art from a sideblog now!! Let's see how that goes. Gonna start by sharing my dino AU stuff. I updated some designs to make them a bit more faithful to the animals they're representing.

Shigeo + Ritsu • A. atacis

Removed the thumb claws, shortened the tails, rearranged the osteoderms, changed their body coloration, and tweaked their facial anatomy.

Teru • S. inequalis

Shrunk her sickle claws and teeth, covered more of her face with feathers.

Touichirou + Shou • T. rex

Changed their body coloration and tweaked their facial anatomy.

Reigen • C. gracilis

Tweaked his facial anatomy.

Serizawa • T. cheloniformis

Elongated his snout and made him more bald.

Tome • T. santamartaensis

Made her more bald as well.

i'd like to think that daniil was adopted by a stray cat back at the capital. being a single man living in a small apartment with a balcony, he's prime real estate.

[inkedberries]

comrade also goes by the names lyubov, tubby, feodor, slava, milky, little soldier, etc.
