your ordinary "i dont want to ruin my main aesthetic" sideblog, for probably fishy and nonfishy animals, more plants, and randomness

age: 20-something

theo, queer, she/her pronouns (or any, really. idc)

full of various illnesses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

no terfs, racists, nazis, capitalists, bootlickers, conservatives, tankies, "narcissistic abuse survivors"/"empaths" & so on allowed

i come here to scream about my declining mental health, if you block "bpd" and "negative" and "addiction" youll probably be spared most of it.

i also try to consistently tag weed, drugs, suicide, nsfw and self harm but im dumb :v

A golden ram and a stone lion, found in a tomb at the archaeological site of Gonur Depe (dated from 2400 to 1600 BCE) in Turkmenistan. The finger in the background shows how small these figures are, demonstrating the extraordinary skill of the crafter.

Crane fly metamorphosis puzzles me

I know there’s probably a scientific explanation for this, maybe most of the body mass is used as nutrition or something, but like.

You look at a crane fly larva. It’s a regular gray caterpillar, chubby and roundishly long.

And then you look at a crane fly and it’s just. A flying wisp of hair

A large clump of Gibbaeum nebrownii at the SF Succulent and Cactus Society November meeting.

Russell Wagner brought several impressive specimens that helped illustrate his talk on small mesembs. As mesembs, Gibbaeum are related to Lithops and other “living stones”, and are highly adapted to extreme conditions in the South African desert. This species is notable for its unusual sheen. The label says 2005, making it at least 12 years old. I’m not sure if that is the age of the plant or when he potted it in this container.
