Common Dinosaur Mistakes
- you know the "bunny hands" pose everyone does to indicate t. rex? with the hands folded down, palms facing the chest? yeah. almost no dinosaurs could do that. it would break their wrists. only one unique group evolved to do that, which doesn't include any of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs. the term for this is "pronation" and actually the vast majority of land vertebrates can't do it. mammals can. mammals are weird.
- not a single dinosaur has claws on their fourth or fifth fingers. not a single one. not even if they're quadrupedal.
- most dinosaurs have very stiff tails and can't wiggle them around like a lizard tail. the tails were stiff for balance.
- the "tongue flick" thing that lizards do is a lizard thing. dinosaurs wouldn't have done that. they don't do that today (birds, birds don't do that)
- "nonavian" dinosaurs with feathered wings had them like birds. they covered the hands. and attached to the hands. stop giving Velociraptor hands. it had wings. and very big ones, too, based on Zhenyuanlong.
- dinosaurs with scales don't have lizard scales. lizard scales are a derived trait found only in lizards. they had scutes similar to those of living birds, but much smaller compared to body size, and often in crazy shapes and patterns. dinosaur scales are super weird tbh
- sauropods don't have elephant feet. they handled the problem of size in a much weirder way: instead of spreading out the weight, they turned their feet into columns. like pillars. some of the biggest species didn't have any fingers, their front limbs just. end. for maximum column support.
- dinosaurs were chonky. you could not see the bones like a silhouette under the skin. some might have been skinnier and some of the features of the bones would be somewhat like with skinny bird legs, but most of the time? no. so stop making the holes in their skulls visible on the outside like damn. jurassic park/world is the biggest offender for this one.
- the whole unique feature of dinosaurs is having their legs DIRECTLY under their bodies. they do not sprawl. I can't believe I have to say that, but I do.
- hadrosaur (duck-billed dinosaur) front feet were hooves. like, seriously, hooves. not little flippers. not three fingered hands. hooves.
I reserve the right to add more to this post as I think of things.
other people can too, but just research before you do.
Megaraptors! Or at least, Australovenator could pronate a bit. probably to help with grabbing prey.
I didn't say the group name because I just *know* someone would misinterpret and think that the group includes the raptors from jurassic park. when dromaeosaurs (including Velociraptor) are very far removed from megaraptors.
Wouldn't "megaraptoran" be the proper term for a member of Megaraptora? Or "megaraptorid" if you're just referring to the family Megaraptoridae? That would be less easy to conflate with "raptor" as a generic term than calling them "megaraptors"
Tbf, there is no official term, but even then people will still see “raptor” and “mega” and go “oh Jurassic park”
genderqueer does not have a set "look", you can really be anyone and be genderqueer. it can describe both how you feel on the inside, and how you present on the outside. you are not obligated to dress in a way you do not want to, as a genderqueer person, and you are not obligated to blur lines and dress in androgynous ways if it's not safe for you. there are a million ways to be genderqueer, be genderqueer in your own way, not someone else's
hardest part of moving out of my parents house by far is finding all the old good recipes that we used to make before my mom turned into an almond mom
my sister and i spent three hours carbon dating recipes by how much oil splatters were on the pages
i think i’ve managed to unearth about half of the ones i was looking for
the only thing in my favor here is that my mom doesn’t throw anything away
genuinely infuriating how many recipes ive come across that are from dead relatives or written by my grandma or whatever that i either have never heard of before or thought were lost to time
why don't we make these ?? why are they hidden in old binders in the depths of the basement ??
ACTUALLY. anyone up for a survey poll?
(the choices are calibrated based on my immediate circle, i know they're biased) (that said anyone is welcome to answer and/or reblog)
The butch lesbian/trans man "funky printed button down" stereotype is true but you must understand that the men's section of so many clothing stores is a bleak and miserable place. Clothing manufacturers are simply convinced that no one who wears men's clothes wants anything besides the most boring outfits possible. Often stripes are the most exciting it gets. If you want to wear clothing designed for men but happen to like "color" and "joy" in your life then often the funky printed button down or the hawaiian shirt are simply your only options, especially off the clearance rack.
Also if the above is you, I highly recommend @morningwitchy and @carmico 🙏🩵🩵
not to be a Brand and plug myself here but since i was tagged: i, nonbinary, make funky button downs in fun patterns that many have described as gender affirming/euphoric :^) they come in unisex sizing xs-4XL, 100% cotton, with button on the hips for extra room! also, i have tees/pants/jackets to match.
aww thank you! glad to be in good company, i adore all the artists tagged :’)
i’ve only just started my first foray into button up territory, but i have preorders open until march 31st! sizes XS-6X, polyester spandex blend, with extra hidden closures in the bust region to prevent gaping
