(New Mexico doesn't count, it's a state not a city.)

Nevermind about that previous depressing post about my 30th birthday. Turns out the cure for an existential crisis is megafauna skeleton.

"How will we survive political turmo-" Shut The Fuck Up. Dire Wolf Pack Fossils.

If you're ever worried about the future just remember ancient sloths could weigh up to 900 lbs.

My personal headcanon is that Black Sand as a magical substance is similar in appearance and function to tar. I especially believe that after my trip to the La Brea Tar Pits.

Most of the tar pits were blocked from public access for conservation purposes as well as public safety, but there were plenty of smaller pits in the grass for people to interact with. These interactions usually involved poking at the tar with sticks and then using the tar to draw pictures on the nearby trees. Yes, I do think that is exactly what Aladdin would have done if he had access to the sand.

Apart from the skeletons of animals that were excavated from the tar pits, there were also these handles inside the museum with metal plates on the bottom where you could collect and try to lift tar from the tar pits. When I tell you that I almost threw my back out at 24 years of age...

Anyway, all that to say that I think the magical Black Sand, especially as seen in The Secret of Dagger Rock, is a more maleable form of tar. It's extremely adhesive, it appears to have traits of a thick liquid, and those who get stuck in it are only made to sink deeper when they try to get out.
