I broke my toe at a show in May because I wasn’t wearing good enough shoes to be in the pit that I didn’t exactly plan on being in. Learn from my mistakes, protect your toes.

But seriously. Please stay safe at shows and drink plenty of water and don’t get awful sunburns and PLEASE wear your earplugs. You can get super cheap, super comfortable reusable ones that still allow for great sound fidelity in the high end and then you won’t have to worry about developing a permanent ringing/hissing soundtrack later in life.

FFS, both times I’ve hauled my sick ass out on turtle-rescuing duty today, I forgot the camera! But, turtle successfully herded/carried/herded/carried (you get the idea) to the local pond, where she will hopefully stay and avoid future contact with cars. (Don’t worry, she’s not injured, just scuffed and displeased.)

Florida Softshell Turtle:

They’re utter sweethearts, they have silky soft awesome feets (even if they’re slapping you!) and they’re endangered because people are assholes.

This is one doing the “LOOK AT MY HEAD!” pose:

edit: Conflicting sources on whether or not they’re endangered, but try not to kill them anyway, as they are awesome.

edit-edit: They’re known to be aggressive towards humans, especially when handled.
Maybe I’m the turtle whisperer?

Owls are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings. 

These trees appear to be judging me.

This fish seems to have gill rakers, which are structures used a little bit like the baleen of the baleen whales. They swim around with their mouths open, and water goes into their mouth and out their gills. The plankton in the water goes into their mouth, but is caught on the rakers and funneled down the throat rather than going out the gills. It’s kind of like if you attached a mesh funnel around your face and ran around catching flies with it, except that the funnel is also your lungs.

It looks really silly when an entire school of them does this at once.
