the thing they dont tell you about joining iNaturalist is how quickly you will acquire at least one nemesis
i love Opiliones!!! you may know that they're not spiders (Aranea) , but you may not know why they're not spiders-- these pictures provide an excellent couple examples!
unlike Aranea, Opiliones have less than eight eyes (up to six). the connection between the cephalothorax (head) and the abdomen (bulbous back part) is much less defined, lending them a more circular body shape than spiders. they do not have silk or venom glands-- their mouthparts are more suited to chewing than piercing. overall very cute and fun arachnids!
now go appreciate your local harvestmen and marvel at the world !
We really are sleeping on harvestmen. They're so cool, and most people don't know about any besides the common daddy long legs!
Amazonian harvestman (Protimesius sp.)
Callcosma sp. from Ecuador
Rilaena triangularis
Spiny harvestman (Propachylus singularis)
Bunny harvestman (Metagryne bicolumnata)
some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.

Yo-chan of Tokkari Seal Center fame had a baby a few weeks ago and she finally got her name today! This is Tsuki-chan (月ちゃん) and she immediately ran away from the keeper doing the live announcement to go ask mom for more milk (and climb the pipes).
jack sparrow queening out compilation five hours
jack as a vengeful spirit does anyone see what I'm putting down here? like I've joked before about how he's kind of barbossa's real curse but I do think it is soooo interesting at least if we're looking at cotbp only. consider him being left on that island maybe not him literally dying but such a definitive end to what was once jack sparrow, in favour of something that lives only for revenge for ten years straight. consider the rebirth. consider the look on his face as he kills barbossa
On top of the Yankees field cat there was a praying mantis on top of the nationals players hat tonight. Huge night in baseball
It is absolutely vital in any fandom to have a favourite character who you want to wrap up in a pile of blankets and give sweet treats to and a favourite character you want to beat on the head with hammers.

A Touch Of Destiny redraw!
the first drawing was made around early August 2023 so happy 10 months to it yipee
now the reason why this redraw was done in the first place was because I didn’t like how underwhelming the atmosphere turned out last time, so I hope that it’s been properly dramatised now lmao
and a side by side comparison, for funsies

The removed gene controls the production of the hormone thyroxine, which fuels the metamorphosis that occurs when a tadpole transforms into a toad. Rick Shine, an evolutionary biologist and ecologist at Macquarie University, is one of the scientists behind the "Peter Pan toads". He said cane toad tadpoles were known to be voracious cannibals with a preference for snacking on their kin, both in egg and hatchling form. This is especially true in Australia where rates of cannibalism of hatchlings by tadpoles have been recorded as 2.4 times that of South America — where the cane toad originated...

Slug is such a great word it’s perfect for the animal and for bullets and fake coins and lazy people and drinking and printing and moving slowly and URLs and alcohol. We should call even more things slug I think we’d all be happier. Slug World 2024.
beating you over the head never forget the service ac crispin did for us when she made jack canonically into dominant women she was a hero for that
