Water painted by Ivan Aivazovsky (1817 - 1900)

*dark shadowed closeup of eyes* Can't say yes because that's not funny. If I say no then it is an invitation for someone to create a parody blog. If someone creates a parody blog then I will be able to banter with them, but if shit goes south I may be culpable for any fallout. Do I make a quip about how Boottea sounds like booty? No, far too pedestrian. Do I invent a false backstop and run with the joke? No, I will fall flat. I could ignore the question, but I do like the creativity and think it needs to be rewarded with an engaging response. Am I overthinking this? Should I just leave it? No, then they will know I had nothing. I cannot quit now. It is no longer about the response itself: its about sending a message. So, what message do I send? Something relatable, which sidesteps an actual response. A meme, perhaps. Something that says, "I'm awkward, but in a self-aware way". Jesus, I am overthinking. This is probably how a death note character would plan a tumblr response. Wait

seeing trans ppl in public is literally life giving. wish there was a normal way to express to other trans people in public that we’re family and that i love them

i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time

This gave me so much serotonin for some reason.

They look like they forgot they can breathe underwater and think they’re drowning

#dont they reckon they learned this from whales?#bc whales have been doing this for as long as weve been observing them but sharks have only started doing it in the last decade or so#OH HEY THAT REMINDS ME#ON THE TOPIC OF SHARKS LEARNING THINGS FROM OTHER SPECIES#theres a pod of orcas that have recently started hunting sharks off the coast of south africa#started with one orca with a collapsed dorsal who reportedly HATES sharks and was the only orca on record to hunt them routinely#WELL#he taught his buddies and now theres a whole pod that hunt them#and the sharks (who arent used to being predated by anything) USED THE SAME EVASION TECHNIQUES THAT THEIR OWN PREY USE WITH THEM#so seals and turtles and etc will try to evade a GWS by swimming in a tight circle and keeping the shark in their line of sight#the GW has a larger turning circle than the prey so if the turtle/seal/whatever is able to got into the right position then they can evade#the shark. well the orcas started hunting the sharks and the sharks TRIED EMPLOYING THE SAME TACTIC THAT THEIR PREY USES#this is huge in terms of lateral learning bc its not as though the sharks have an instinctive orca evasion technique bc if they did it#would be something different. given that sharks are solitary hunters but orcas are pack hunters and the smaller turning circle method#will only work with a solitary hunter and definitely HAS NOT worked when applied to pack hunters. BUT THIS MEANS!! that the sharks are#intelligent enough to recall the behaviour of their own prey’s successful evasion techniques AND TO THEN MIMIC IT THEMSELVES.#incredible!!!!!!! but yeah as stated it very much only works against solitary animals so the sharks that employed it did not get away and#the orcas have killed a handful of GWs and literally all the other sharks have fled the area entirely - like - there’s not a single#one to be found and the ones with tracking devices show them getting the fuck out of dodge and of course this is having a big negative#impact on the local economy which runs largely on shark tourism. but yeah like the facinating thing here is that an adult orca has taught#fellow adult orcas how to hunt sharks AND the sharks have tried to employ evasion techniques that they have known to work in the past#its two instances of lateral learning and ONE OF THEM IS CROSS SPECIES LATERAL LEARNING#its amazing!??!? (via @bundibird)

ok you can not just leave all of this in the tags this is fascinating

can’t leave these out either #hold the fuck up what#this reminds me of how octopuses are said to be engaging in submarine warfare like..#there’s some geopolitical shit going on in the water and we don’t even know !!!#the anti-sharks orca party has successfully made their area unsafe for sharks for the first time in known sharkstory !#crazy shit !!#aquatic life

Myslím že vím, proč nemáme moc hororů. Další perlička od přítelkyně Becky, kterou znáte ze Strašidla: Není nic tak morbidního aby z toho Čech nedokázal vytvořit černou komedii.

Jako vezmeme si tvorbu Honzy Švankmajera, pro cizince je to horor. Něco z Alenky, Lekce Faust, Otesánek, no pustím jim kterýkoliv z těhle filmů a podělaj se z něho strachy. Pustím ho tady v ČR? Komedie.

Smějící se bestie no

bylo by hrozně ikonické jít na pride v cosplayi Petronela a Uriáše ale vzhledem k jejich vrstvám by se musel Prague Pride pořádat v prosinci

A fun thing to do with friends who draw art of speculative biology fauna is to play a game I like to call:

"Clade that animal"

You assume the role of a biologist, and your friend shows you a speculative critter that they drew. You ask what biome it lives in, how big is it, and one free question.

You then must write a description of the animal, its diet, lifestyle, niche, and a fun encounter between the creature and yiur biologist if you feel like it.

Bonus points if you add a scientific name.

Then your friend tells you how right/wrong you were.

Clade that animal. Go.
