babiest borb

where did you find this baber???? if u need any advice on taking care of le bebe let us at birblr know!!!

I volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center! This lil baby gnatcatcher is one of our patients and will be released when they are able to feed themself, as currently they need to be hand fed every 15 minutes due to being So Smol

because our center accepts non-native species, we do not get government funding and run entirely on donations. you can support this borb and other animals by donating here.

OMg amazing.  You are Guardian of the Smol Bebe.

people actually get so used to benevolent weirdness in their towns like. if you started wearing a dracula cape everywhere in my town, everyone would just come to accept it.

“hey, was that the dude who wears dracula capes everywhere?”

“yeah, he’s really nice, I talked to him in rite aid once. sorta weird obviously, but cool.”

this post is so blessed bc all of the notes are just people talking about the benevolent weirdos in their towns and I hope they’re all having a good day out there, inspiring people to go out and wear their dracula capes or w/e

What would you say is the oldest species still alive today? As in, something that’s changed so little that you could show a reconstruction of a however-old fossil to someone and they’d go “oh, yeah, that’s a ____”. I know sharks are ridiculously old, but I’m guessing some kind of invertebrate probably has them beat.

alphynix:

There are plenty of groups of organisms whose modern forms still look very similar to their relatives from many tens or hundreds of millions of years ago – so-called “living fossils”. Examples would include things like horseshoe
crabs, nautiluses, silverfish, scorpions, dragonflies, jellyfish,
hagfish, sharks, sturgeons, coelacanths, tuataras, crocodylians,
turtles, ferns, horsetails, redwoods, and mosses.

If something is already physically well-adapted to a stable ecological niche, and experiences
little environmental pressure to change, then they tend to stick with
the evolutionary equivalent of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

As for a specific species, it’s actually really hard to tell for certain, especially
when it comes to fossils. We can label a fossil as being the “same”
species as a modern one based on physical appearance, but if we had a
living copy we might classify it very differently based on other factors
like genetics. (Plus there’s the problem that the entire concept of a biological “species” is really just a messy human construct with no clear consensus of definition.)

That said, under current species classification the tadpole shrimp Triops cancriformis doesn’t seem to have significantly changed for the last 200 million years, and some conifer trees like Araucaria araucana date back to similar ages.

But if we also include microbes here, then the clear winners are deep-sea sulfur-cycling bacteria. Modern ones are indistinguishable from fossils over 2 billion years old.

Sitka artist designs slinky dress from 20,000 salmon bones

The idea for a glam salmon-bone dress swam around in Cynthia Gibson’s head for a while before she got cracking on her vision.

“Three years ago I collected buckets and buckets of small vertebrae. Bones in general, I find beautiful. They have a beautiful line and form,” said the Sitka artist. “I always wondered why no one was doing much with salmon vertebrae because they’re everywhere and they’re easy to bead. They already have a hole in the center of them from the spinal cord.”

Just an FYI guys, HeartProgress has actually convinced some people that pedophilia is LGBT+.
This is not just a satire account anymore, it’s doing severe damage to the LGBT+ community and it needs to be shut down IMMEDIATELY.

You need to reblog this.

heartprogress is an instigram account, not tumblr. regardless i would not advise looking it unless you want to vomit

Actually it was a tumblr. I think it got taken down though.

Apparently its still floating around on Instagram somewhere.

Themyscira, sex and love

nehirose:

crazyintheeast:

Let’s talk about
Themyscira and just how different  their society would be when it comes to sex and love

First of all as we saw there is no taboo on nudity. The naked body is not considered a big thing. Things like scars and skills in battle are quite considered a far sexier thing then nudity could ever be

Second it’s very likely that due to their immortality and isolation from the rest of the world long term romantic relationships live side with with polyamourous ones as well as casual sex

Which brings me to Diana….the only child on the entire island. Literally every single Amazon on the island would have known her since she was a tiny baby,.

Her fighting skills would be decades if not centuries behind the other Amazons, her skin would be flawless and barely have any scars on it and her muscles while adequate were nothing to really write home about. By the standards of Amazonian society she would probably be the least sexually attractive Amazon on the island. So imagine teenage Diana with her hormones raging, reading all night about the pleasure of the flesh and trying cringe worthy attempts to flirt with the other Amazonian warriors. And nothing works so frustrated she puts all her energy into her training until one day years later…she beats Antiope in a training match. The very same night she gets asked out by three Amazonians and suddenly Diana is finally the new hot thing in town and she is loving it

TL;DR: To the outside world Diana is the most attractive woman in the universe in Themyscira she was an awkward skinny nerd who couldn’t get laid for decades

i am so here for this.
