  • My favorite is the secretarybird. They’re gorgeous, tall, they can fly, they kick snakes to death and then eat them, what’s not to love?

    My favorite extinct dinosaur is the microraptor, a relative of deinonychus that had four (!) wings. Two pairs, one on its forelimbs like modern dinosaurs and one on its hindlimbs. Most people draw them like four-winged crows with teeth, which is great because crows are also crazy smart and probably some of the smartest animals besides humans and maybe chimps. They know how to use cars to break open nuts by dropping them onto an intersection and they wait for the lights to change before they fly back down to collect the spoils. I’m typing so fast that autocorrect almost can’t keep up now so I’ll stop for now

    Edit: apparently autocorrect wasn’t quite keeping up




  • I met a traveller from an antique land,
    Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
    And on the pedestal, these words appear:
    My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”








  • Hey I’ve found this article that has some interesting points. What do you think?

    Oh, don’t read that. That is all just propaganda, you can’t let them get you.

    -a literal response I’ve received, many times.

    Trying to ask them real questions, like who “they” actually are that are trying to make your life in particular worse, is about as good as I have managed. But on some of the more egregious points, they always seem to think they have actual good serious sources on how trans people are actually all just predators or something. The more attentive ones may even be so kind as to add a “present company excluded”
