I love trans women

i walk a fine line between “i’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sex” and “sex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want to”

WOE. LINOLEUM CARVINGS BE UPON YE

Here’s one “birb” you don’t want to mess with: the Great Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor)! When on the hunt, this carnivorous bird scans the area from its perch seeking out anything from a small mammal to a bird. After locking in on a target, which can be nearly as large as the bird itself, it swoops down and hits its meal with its hooked bill. This species has even been observed impaling prey on sharp objects—thorns or barbed wire—and sometimes “storing” it there for later consumption. It has a wide range which spans parts of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa.

Lets be silly with mama

From previous fossils, they already knew the dinosaur had asymmetric feathers, which are vital to creating thrust in modern, flying birds. But the hard slab of limestone around this specimen had also preserved a key layer of feathers called tertials that had never been documented before in Archaeopteryx.

“It’s important that this is the first time these feathers have been seen,” John Nudds, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester in England who didn’t participate in the study, tells the Guardian’s Hannah Devlin. “These new feathers seen in this beautifully preserved specimen—as well as the asymmetric feathers—confirms it could fly.”
