Time Is Such A Stubborn Thing

So perhaps we should be stubborn right back

Related: at a neuroscience conference I was at once there was a talk on how the "microslippages" against your fingertip when you lightly pinch something are generally enough for you to work out exactly how much force to grip it with to lift it without crushing it or dropping it.

love to follow veterinarian practices on facebook because every one in a while they’ll post a picture of something so bizarrely funny. this axolotl getting an x-ray just took me out

ive been getting a lot of people really worried for this axolotl so i thought i’d clarify: she’s fine. she’s moist on the puppy pad so she won’t dry out and the x ray only takes a few seconds. the x ray was because she had an internal gut blockage due to the wrong substrate being used. they took another x ray after giving her barium to determine where in the gut it was, but the barium lubricated her gut enough that she passed the blockage with no invasive surgery and she’s completely fine. here she is not-flattened

She looks very pleased to be unflattened and unblockaged

one of many frustrating parts of trying to talk about being a trans man online is if you get even a little upset or angry about the marginalization and discrimination you face on a personal or systemic level people get all "look at this self-absorbed trans man being ANGRY at WOMEN.... typical violent man. You didn't even experience that you can't be oppressed you're a man shut up about your experiences" and it's like. one of us is leaving this interaction without a skeletal system and it isn't me

#atm #also sometimes it's literally like Imao theee stupid bitchy females i mean entitled violent men' #like it's so obvious that some ppl's immediate visceral reaction to us is from a place of misogyny #but they have to dress it up in feminist language

My friends told me Heart Reaper should cosplay Miku, so here she is 💖

They also said she should get a kiss on the cheek, but… she doesn’t look like she’s in the mood 😶

Finally did something for Mermay!

A friend on Discord suggested a mermaid swimming through a galaxy of sea stars and I loved the idea so much I had to draw it ⭐ ✨

A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.

!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.

Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food

i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!! 

They’re incredibly smart! And kind!!!
