One of my coworkers was telling me that they had seen these really cute trilobite plushies at another gift shop and recommended them to the store manager at our museum, which lead to us scrolling through the manufacturer's website together on shift today and SHRIEKING with laughter at the exact same moment when we simultaneously noticed that they sell a giant $100 eurypterid body pillow

Bird games!!

So a few weeks ago I got back into gaming™ (aka I played the goose game and am trying to force people to play the duck game with me) so I decided to make a master post of bird themed games!

Duck Game - It’s the 80s, you’re a duck, you must fight other ducks (kinda like smash brothers but with ducks)

Untitled Goose Game - You’re a terrible goose and you hate humans 

Wingspan - competitive bird conservation (and you’re probably gonna end up learning something like a fool)

Pigeon simulator - if pigeons were evil

The Falconeer - You’re on a bird and you attack people (critique; you’re not the bird)

Feather - Like the one above but you don’t kill people (a shame, I know)

SkateBird - UNRELEASED, you’re a bird on a skateboard, a skatebird!

Falcon Age - You and your very strange falcon save a country or something

A short hike - you’re some dope anthro bird going on a short hike

Pathless - You and your pet eagle that you have for some reason kill people I think

There’s probably more! Add them if you know them!

Earth During a Total Solar Eclipse : What does the Earth look like during a total solar eclipse? It appears dark in the region where people see the eclipse, because that’s where the shadow of the Moon falls. The shadow spot rapidly shoots across the Earth at nearly 2,000 kilometers per hour, darkening locations in its path – typically for only a few minutes – before moving on. The featured video shows the Earth during the total solar eclipse earlier this month. The time-lapse sequence, taken from a geostationary satellite, starts with the Earth below showing night but the sun soon rises at the lower right. Clouds shift as day breaks over the blue planet. Suddenly the circular shadow of the Moon appears on the left and moves rapidly across South America, disappearing on the lower right. The video ends as nightfall begins again. The next total solar eclipse will occur next December – but be visible only from parts of Antarctica. via NASA
