Sometimes baby chicks (i.e. poultry) are born with curled toes, and this is exactly what you do to fix that. if they have splayed legs, you kinda hobble them with a bandaid until the legs stop being splayed. Lil babies pretty quickly recover from those sorts of problems if the limbs are held in the right position.
“you all are great people, and what you’re doing is art, but it’s also a crime punishable by 28 days in prison” is a real sentence that got said to me tonight by a security officer i think i’m living my best life
this is what was happening if anyone was wondering
i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death
Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌
yesyesyesyes
7. I still don’t know how to season chicken
8. the dancing thing is right i can’t dance for shit
9. We’re just…weird sometimes tbh we all know that
10: I literally used to just microwave a slice of white bread, fold it a few times, and eat it. I would probably still do this if I could still eat bread.
My friend JazzTheTiger and I enjoy spending our nights together with drawpile sessions when we’ve got spare time. We’ve been struck with an ALIEN craze again. I’ve always loved the idea of Lockdown and Swindle having Xenomorphs as pets. Jazz drew Xerxes and Ryker wandering around “Death’s Head” and I drew SwinLock.
LD has a soft spot for them. Likes to watch them creep around and give unsuspecting mechs spark attacks… XD
You know, xenomorphs would be a lot less dangerous to Cybertronians, I doubt Cybertronians are suitable hosts.
…Blackspark you are not getting one, can’t risk spreading that to whatever planet you land on next. Plus, it’d probably bite Gravescratch.
thinking about life & its twists and turns today……a lot for an armadillo to deal with but i’ll be okay………….
In case anyone was worried about this little guy
Thank you, I was 😀
armadillo, born and raised in the desert for years without seeing a large body of water: *sees a pool* ohhhhh fuck yeag im goin in that big puddle baby
of course they cant swim -_- .. they have been born and raised in a DESERT. not water it aint no fishhh you should save other armadillos i think they are murdering them for something i forgot what but they would murder them. for something like food? or value
i’m not sure what you’re trying to say with your last few sentences, but brokenblackcatskulls is not lying or relaying false info.
the nine banded armadillo is very much an excellent swimmer that can hold its breath for up to 6 minutes because its ancestors came from tropical areas in South America and they often had to cross bodies of waters.
while we often see them depicted in the desert, it should be noted that they do not inhabit barren stretches of sand, but regions that experience rainfall and have vegatation. prolonged drought kills them.
their presence in Texas—where these pictures were taken—is actually fairly recent, occuring over only the past few hundred years, and largely due to human intervention. people used to keep them as both exotic pets and sources of food before they either escaped or were released into the wild and established a population. they are technically an invasive species.
The vast majority of mammals can swim, the exception being a few great apes. Many things that are not fish can swim. Nine-banded armadillos like the one above are actually very athletic little creatures, they run like jackrabbits. They more often live in scrubland or forests, and need to regularly drink water to stay alive.
Also, there is water in the desert, including pools of it. We call that an oasis and/or a vernal pool.
half of fic research is rereading the fandom wiki four times for obscure character info and the other half is googling shit like “when did we start using drywall in home construction”
Uhhhh i’m really bad at explaining things lmao. What I mean is you don’t open the abdominal cavity or whatever.
Its not just skin and then organs directly underneath. There is a thick layer of muscle directly under the skin that just looks like raw meat. When skinning something you don’t go through that muscle layer. Or at least you try not to, it can sometimes happen if you are inexperienced.
Here I tried to illustrate what I mean.
If you also wanted to butcher the animal for meat you would have to cut through the muscle layer and remove the organs. That’s a normal part of the butchering process. But if you just want the skin for taxidermy you don’t have to. I don’t hunt and most of my animals come from natural death or whatever so I don’t eat the meat, wouldn’t be safe. I just put things I don’t use back out in the woods for the scavengers and get the bones later.
When you skin an animal, you end up with an intact animal skin on one side and the naked animal body on the other. It looks just like the animal before, except that it’s all muscle, like an anatomy class model. The organs are contained inside a bag in the guts, which has muscle around it. It’s stinky and messy if you cut into the gut bag, so you try not to do that.
Also, skin isn’t very strongly attached, it’s held on by membranes and can be pretty easily peeled away from most small animals. There’s minimal cutting on, say, a m.ouse, you just have to cut through the skin down the belly and then peel the skin off. For bigger animals like a d.eer, you have to keep cutting membranes as you peel the skin off.
