I went to a talk about urban planning from an elderly people perspective and there was one thing that stuck with me that changed my view of people

The speaker was talking about how old folk can't and shouldn't be put into one singular group of people because it's impossible to find any two old people who can be categorized into the same basket because of how much life they've been through and how many branches apart they are from each other. Like, grouping them all as *old* is a disservice to them and who they consider themselves to be and to plan a city properly for old folk that has to be taken into consideration

It just struck me how the longer you live the more the infinity of differences, choices and circumstances, grows bigger and bigger and while younger people can still be grouped into different categories more easily, it's only because their short amount of memories and experiences hasn't pulled them apart to be considered so vastly different as our elders.

Being old is a lonely place to be because of it but there is something empowering about how unique you become from your specific experiences and how each and every old person you meet has so much essence in the set of years called their life, you'll never find someone like them again

In an Ecuadorian Cloud Forest, Two Mycologists Catalogue Hundreds of Fantastical Fungi

Scientists believe that less than 4% percent of the world’s fungi have been documented, which adds up to only 150,000 species described out of an estimated 2.2-3.8 million worldwide. Mycologists Danny Newman and Roo Vandegrift have spent the last 12 years focusing on locations impacted by the climate crisis and increasing human interference, like Ecuador’s Reserva Los Cedros.

saw somebody say they “preferred to identify as a man rather than a trans man” and i just really want to understand what HE means by that

I can't choose so I decided to ask you guys.

[synapsid-taxonomy]

What’s interesting is that Runner’s “species” is only given as Mustelidae, and the replacement “family-friendly” poem highlights his taxonomic ambiguity:

(We can rule out mongoose, despite the behavior described in the “mean” poem, because mongoose are herpestids, not mustelids)

would you guys like to see the greatest beanie baby poem ever written

Honestly I think Tim Drake deserves way more recognition as Robin not only for figuring out Bruce and Dick's indetities at age 9 or for being canonically the best bo staff user in the dcu, but for giving Robin fucking pants. Can you imagine demon spawn Damian running around Gotham with a katana in his hand, murder in his eyes and fucking booty shorts.

Everyone say thank you Tim Drake.

edit: edited again to stop people from sending me death threats and calling me a liar for getting a fact wrong and apologizing for it like four times. Ra's al Ghul has called everyone detective, young detective or similar. Ok. I get it. Please forgive me for this outrageous offense /s

also deleted all the detective-related comments.

Taylor Swift talking about her song 'Florida!!!'

''Florida is a song I wrote with Florence + The Machine and I think I was coming up with this idea of what happens when your life doesn't fit, or your choices you've made catch up to you and you're surrounded by these harsh consequences and judgement and circumstances did not lead you to where you thought you would be and you just wanna escape from everything you've ever known, is there a place you could go? Haha, I'm always watching Dateline, people have these crimes that they commit where they immediately skip town and go to and they go to Florida. They try to reinvent themselves, have a new indetity, blend in. And I think when you go through a heartbreak there's a part of you that thinks 'I want a new name, I want a new life, I don't want anyone to know where I've been or know me at all.' So that was kind of what that was, the jumping off point behind 'Where would you go to reinvent yourself and blend in?' Florida!''

“The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning roads, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indetations, scrolls.” ― Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Does how does Lee’s identity come in to play when they go in Ford’s dimension?

Because he supposedly younger than Ford and the original Stanley is to have reportedly died. So do they make him a completely new identity???

Also if he ever goes to the hospital will there be questions on how much he looks almost identically like Ford but that shouldn’t be possible because Lee is younger than him.

Lol imagine Ford just threatening the government to give Lee his legal indetity.

Government: We refuse to give this person official identification

Ford: …

Ford: FIDDS GET OUT THE GIANT DINOSAUR BOT, WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT TO OVER THROW

Lee: Digits please, I mean I get it but please don’t

Lee: *gives Ford the puppy dog eyes*

Ford: Very well, I will settle for blackmailing the government instead *takes out the mind control ties*

Stan being legally dead in Ford's dimension wouldn't really cause any issues until later in the series but I can't really elaborate on this topic without spoiling anything.

Just know that this is hilarious and not exactly inaccurate.

The art and the process are super nice, shame it's for a pretty much fictive organism, given how terrible the fossils look :(

Say hello to Mieridduryn bonniae, a 460 million years old cousin of Opabinia.

The Welsh name Mieridduryn, pronounced me-airy-theerin, means “bramble snout” referring to the spiny proboscis. Meanwhile, bonniae refers to the landowners’ niece Bonnie, who loves the fossils!
