its really cool that we discovered glass which is the material that doesnt have any chemical reactions with anything in the universe very useful for doing chemistry due to being able to put things in it to contain chemical reactions and never having it react with the things that are in it due to it being completely and entirely unreactive to every chemical
DnD campaign where the players get rabies and over time get debuffs and buffs like +STR and -INT and the entire thing is timed until they die or cure the magic rabies
Today I want to lift up an artist who means not only a lot to me, but likely a lot to many people invested in the paleo scene and the extinct arthropod/anomalocaridid wiki pages, too!
Jun (twitter), also known as Junnn11 on wikipedia. He is a Japanese artist who's work you might've seen if you've visited the anomalocaris/radiodonta wikis
His unique style breathes so much life into these extinct animals with the way they're coloured and posed while also paying close attention to animal's body plan and making sure they appear scientifically accurate! I have a lot of adoration and admiration for these illustrations. But He doesn't limit himself with JUST radiodonts. He's also illustrated a lot of other different animals (here)
I would not have known about these creatures if he hadn't drawn them! But this is not the only work he does. He also makes more detailed diagrams of these animals and their anatomy. He has even made some animations to further bring these creatures alive! (here)
All of this is to say that we owe a lot to this guy's creative mind and abilities and I think his contributions to science deserve to be seen and appreciated by the casual lovers of these creatures too! Please give his Twitter a follow if you have one! Thank you for all the illustrations, animations and diagrams you've made over the years!

i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and i’d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & they’d be like lol no that’s not how it works just give me the ice. I’m fighting customer service battles never seen before
"dont smoke around your pets" okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.
Someone asking me for my hobbies is so humiliating.... I like to play and have fun. I like to smile and draw. I like putting words in an order. Sometimes I laugh and grin.
No way Connor wasn’t based off of dale cooper
me: man i wish dodos still existed so i could eat one
brain: there are many extant species of pigeons and doves still
me: hmmm is it morally right to eat a dove
brain: the morality of eating meat is not affected by the beast it originates. the idea that certain meats are “wrong” to eat is a societal expectation
me: okay what diseases do pigeons carry
brain: some but with proper preparation and with a disease-free specimen you will be okay
me: what is stopping me from eating a dove
brain: your cowardice. you fear social rejection and dread the idea of judgement. but, those who judge you are just as biased and imperfect as you are. you must accept that this is an inevitable part of life, but it should not hold you back. you are in charge of your own destiny
me: okay lala ^_^ *googles “dove resippy” for 4 hours and salivates so hard it floods my room and i drown*
