A Thing Like You and Me, chalk pastel on paper

2023

It's really funny how Tumblr keeps gaining new members just because other websites mess up so colossally,, that Tumblr somehow manages to look better in comparison. Really embodies the idea of failing upwards.

😭

simply dont monday

the language surrounding so much of kink and BDSM culture just creeps me out like I hate how everything is called "play"... impact play, breath play, knife play. Just say that punching people makes your dick hard without sanitizing it. And how they call having sex a "scene"... that makes it sound like a corporate event instead of a genuine moment of connection between people 🤨

"always provide aftercare to your sub after a hard scene uwu" I think you belong in federal prison

thinking about that kakapo egg that got crushed but the conservation team patched it up and it survived

life will persist against all odds

For those who don’t follow kakapo conservation, they are critically endangered parrots who only breed on years where the rimu tree they rely on meet a certain threshold of fruit production. One breeding season in 4 years can be typical, and about half of all eggs laid by kakapo are infertile (they still aren’t completely certain why, it could be a recent population bottleneck) so each fertile egg is worth its weight in gold.

This was one of only 5 fertile eggs laid on the Whenua Hou island population in the 2014 breeding season and it got crushed by its mother on accident. It was mended with glue and tape and incubated by the rangers until hatching.

At 150 days old kakapo chicks are officially added to the population total and given a unique name, until then they are given their mother’s name and a number for birth order laid in the clutch. This chick was known as Lisa-one before officially being given the name Ruapuke by local indigenous Ngai Tahu people.Here he is grown up:
