Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

i just said out loud, “you know what really gargles my goyles?” and then i had to just sit there and accept that i now live in a world where someone said those words in that order. and now so do you. what a tangled web we weave

Some of my students very obviously copied each other’s work and I at least 50% wish they’d done a better job of hiding it so I didn’t have to deal with this shit.

also while i’m ranting about gender i always see debate about whether girls are rewarded for being tomboys or not and it’s like. actually girls are rewarded for mirroring whatever the situation demands of them. girls can’t be too prissy and refuse to play in the creek, but girls also can’t show up to girly events covered in mud. girls can’t have makeup art as a hobby or else they’re superficial, but if they never wear makeup they’re a slob and dumpy, etc. it’s not that girls are universally rewarded or punished for being tomboys, they’re rewarded for bending over backwards to always be exactly right for any given situation and punished for breaking those boundaries. so yes a classically pretty girl who cleans up nice is rewarded when she can ALSO be a tomboy. but a girl who is a tomboy all the time is definitely punished for never being able to achieve that prerequisite feminine side. this debate is over now thanks

We gave them up 😔

Hopefully the agonies have abated by now, but if you're still taking questions I'd be curious to know; favourite plesiostene (God knows if I spelled that right) megafauna? Hard mode; can't be from Eurasia.

Changes every so often but I am endlessly charmed by the literally everything that was happening in Australia. Especially the giant Kangaroo Macropus titan and Procoptydon goliath, the short-faced kangaroo,

look at his fucked up little feetsies :)

And then birders have culture wars with each other over whether posting "hot singles in your area" ads is ok or not.

are evil dragons really evil, or are they just vitamin D deficient?
