The Vigorous Nature of Seth's Coition

I can never reblog that one post that's like "what fictional food did you desperately want to eat as a child " bc I had this dinosaur book as a kid and in the book there was this illustration of a T. Rex eviscerating a Triceratops and feasting on its remains and it looked like it was having such a good time with the triceratops carcass that I would have traded anything to be that T. Rex. And I can't just add that to a random stranger's post

I see how it is you can all post about cannibalism and blood drinking and it's cool it's normal it's ENCOURAGED even but I say I wanted to indulge in the absolute carnage of felling a 26,000 lb horned beast with my hands and then feasting upon the spoils of my victory as a child and suddenly IM the weird one

Everyone says they want a weirdgirl who is hot and strange and off-putting and then she says she's harboring a secret desire to be a Mesozoic superpredator from the late cretaceous and you all switch up REALLL fast

painkiller is such a metal fucking word. pain. killer. so badass.

sword called “painkiller” because. yeah. if you think about it

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

i keep thinking about this picture of a bat eating a watermelon

tbh i don't really get why we divide the oceans into different oceans because they're all connected it's the same ocean

no metaphor here just pure confusion...is there a line where one ocean stops and another begins? or is it like a smooth gradient of percentages of one ocean shading into another ocean?

Yes, there is a line. There are confluences you can see and touch and they are NOT subtle in the slightest.

That's the Atlantic and the Caribbean on a particularly pronounced day.

This is the Indian and the Pacific. It's not always this obvious everywhere but the dividing lines are very much there.

Oceans have their own properties as far as temperature and salinity and unless something like a storm or a current forces them to mix they won't. Mostly this applies to vertical mixing and it gives you things like thermoclines and haloclines but water is wierd and won't mix horizontally either.

The ocean basins tend to have their own currents that go in a circle and define that ocean, and those patterns mix the water within that ocean. Like a washing machine.

The Caribbean has a little loop of its own that not on this map, but that current keeps that ocean pretty internally consistent. It's got clear warm water because of the shallow bowl of limestone sand it sits in. Where it meets the Atlantic with wildly different conditions the water is traveling in opposite directions, and it acts kind of like an oncoming lane of highway traffic. Species that have adapted to a narrow band of temperatures and salinities (most fish) can't cross, while species with a stronger homeostasis hang out there on purpose, (marine mammals, turtles, sharks). Plankton, that cannot control their horizontal movement in the water column, are held in their home territories by these barriers.

ok ok if i knock out another 500 words right now i'll have written 10k this month which would make this my third most productive month since jan 2022 and this, for someone who gets like an hour of reliable writing time a day at most, would be awesome.

hell yeah babes!!

dearest Bumble advertisors: Fuck. Off. Please.

I cannot express enough how nauseatingly unappealing dating services are to me. I hate them. I hate them so much. Stop insisting I need relationships and sex. I don't. At all. shutupshutupshutup!!

I understand that ads are a requirement for a site to exist in these trying times, but I really wish we could block specific advertisors. Even if it was just a "you can only block 3 advertisers per month so pick wisely" or whatever. Most of them I can ignore. Some of them are amusing. But there's always one, like this, that just makes me feel physically nauseous because of personal issues and it won't. go. away! Under ordinary circumstances I'm not bothered by such ads beyond the urge to roll my eyes, but these ones are too constant, too enthusiastic, too "hey you absolutely want a sexual relationship, I've decided for you" and I can only handle so much of that before every repeat begins to cause feelings of physical revulsion.

I love the children here with their "my cultural experience is the only universal one so I can speak for all cultures everywhere", "my misunderstanding of this word is the only correct one, no I won't look it up in a dictionary", and "I believe segregation policies are the best way to unite the world". Your third eyes are wide open babes.
