just got back into gardening so i’ve forgotten. are basil leaves supposed to be this big
please look at this beautiful mouse
i'm not all that sentimental of a person (why would i travel to see things when google images exists) but i do believe looking up at the sky and seeing this firsthand could fix me

i like how reclusive and generally unpleasant you are
let’s groove tonight, share the spice of life
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!
Remembering when I went over to my female teacher's house in 5th grade and saw that she lived with another female teacher & went home going "wow, so teachers really do all live together!" & then my family had to explain to me what lesbians are
