It has simply been far too long since I last ThorbenPosted
Thorben is a 1.5 year old Eurycantha calcarata and the sexiest man you’ll ever meet
Rating: GREEN
Thorben is, as the caption says, a very handsome E. calcarata stick insect. This species thrives in captivity and is fairly easy to breed and raise. However, it’s not a species I’d recommend for beginners, especially not people who want to handle their stick insects. If you look closely at Thorben’s 3rd legs, you’ll see some long and thick spikes:
When these bugs feel threatened, they’ll raise their abdomen up like a scorpion’s tail and quickly close their 3rd legs, poking whatever they deem a threat. This isn’t dangerous, but it can be painful and startling enough that you end up dropping the bug or otherwise hurting it.
For this reason, this species is only recommended for people who are familiar with stick insect body language and can tell when a poke is about to happen.

já, celý život: nemám přízvuk, jsem tajemně neutrální
taxikář v severních Čechách po půl minutě hovoru: vy jste z Brna, že?
Poté, co jsem v Praze po jakémsi děcku řvala odělé to eщe jednó a okážô tě takové entšuldigung, že prdeló vêmaluješ slovácké ornament, soplisko jakési blbé… (několikrát do mě špéchnul brotsackem a vždycky pré sorry až mě to dožralo) a následně zjistila, že lidi řvou smíchy, jsem to přestala krotit. Ono to totiž stejně nemá smysl.

gaslighting germans it’s always morally correct
Loved the follow up to this where the neighbor was confronting her about this video and she was gaslighting her neighbor again by askin if all viatnamese people look the same to them

Yep
this doesn’t just block nonbinary people it blocks anyone who doesn’t provide that personal information to google. it’s a direct punishment for trying to remain at all anonymous or private. one might ask why companies are so desperate to seek out and FILTER based on gender in the first place.
stick yr dick in a girl and there's a horrible grinding sound and blinding pain and when u pull out your dick has been perfectly flattened and embossed with a t rex design and the name of the local natural history museum
God I fucking love being a monk at the Monastery of Lindisfarne on this fine morning of June 8th, 793. I love looking at all the gold and silver objects and alive monks that live here.

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS! RUSSIA HAS BLOWN UP THE KHAKIBKA HYDROELECTROSTATION DAM AND IS FLOODING COUNTLESS UKRAINIAN TOWNS AND VILLAGES! THIS IS THE BIGGEST ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE IN EUROPE SINCE CHORNOBYL! Post written and provided by @ohsalome: Now, the situation is desperate. I know I've bothered you with donations recently, but this is a time-sensitive matter. I've collected several organisations that are currently helping to evacuate people from the territory that is/will be soon flooded. Please, please, send them any cent you can and signal boost this, the things are really BAD and we need as much help as we can get: Vostok SOS helps people evacuate from dangerous territories, since the beginning of the war they've already helped 46 000 people. Elderly and disabled people are of an extra need of assistance. Helping to leave is another organization that has been helping evacuate people from occupied territories, and is currently gathering funds to help people in Kherson region.
PEOPLE ARE DROWNING, THE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ARE BEING WIPED OUT! THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST FERTILE SOIL ON THE EARTH, WHICH HAS BEEN GROWING GRAIN FOR EXPORT TO HUNDEREDS OF COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE ONES MOST DEPENDANT ON FOREIGN EXPORTS!
Here you can also donate to the Firefighters foundation that works directly with The State Emergency Service of Ukraine. They're collecting money to buy a lot of motor pumps tu pump the water from flooded areas.
A nearly complete 1st century BCE carnyx found in 2004 at Tintignac, France (the one in the left picture, with a reconstruction in the right). Fashioned as a snarling boar, the carnyx was a war horn used by the Iron Age Celts between c. 200 BCE and c. 200 CE
fun fact, the first reconstruction of the carnyx was built in Scotland in the early 90s, and John Kenny brought it to my dad's photographic studio (our house) to have publicity pictures taken. I was very very young, but I had a precocious interest in history, and Kenny showed me the detailed boar's head, which had an articulated tongue that would give the effect of a subtle ululation when it was played. He played it for us in our garden, and I can still remember the sound. It sounded like a trumpet, if a trumpet was a wild prehistoric animal capable of throwing back its head and howling. It sounded like something great and tusked and angry and brass that knew what blood was and wanted it.
I don't know how old I was when I heard it, I think it must have been after its debut at the museum, but I do remember Kenny telling us we were among a very small handful of people who had heard the carnyx in 2,000 years. I remember my nextdoor neighbour's pigeons all taking off from his loft, and the wide silence that rang out afterwards, that more often came in the wake of foghorns from the harbour. I wonder, in retrospect, what all those people packed around us in their tenements in the poor part of Leith thought they'd heard. what does an ancient celtic war horn sounds like, floating through the window while you're doing the dishes?
here’s what it sounds like. holy shit
Now imagine what a whole bunch of these would sound like, played together before the start of a battle.
