I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know
PROMISE KEPT: Future Paradox Cursola!!! Rock/Grass
Unexpected adaptations cause Promise Kept’s branches to grow hybrid land-sea anemone. Ecologists theorize Cursola reverted back to its ancient form, after decades of restoration efforts by humans.
every time I find a strawberry like this i'm not hating. i'm happy because there's more strawberry to eat. unlike you
its fasciation! It's a kind of mistake in a plant that makes it... uhhh. not grow right. It can just happen because a replication mistake, or be caused by an injury or sickness. There's a couple plants we grow on purpose fasciated, as well.
These two are accidental.
This one's a cockscomb flower, and also some stems from a fantail willow. These two are grown for their fasciation.
For some reason, people used the term 'cristation' more when it happens to cacti.
the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds
#i was in a car with a linguist i had never met before the car trip and like half an hour in he looked at me#after i finished describing a geology thing that was happening out the window and asked if i'd ever spent much time on tumblr#the fuckor of it all#and then we spent six more hours driving#it sure does leave linguistic markers! i'm not sure i'm good with it (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)
it is one thing to be a linguist and another to be a linguist who knows enough of 2010s Tumblr to spot one of its enjoyers

consider: when blaster is blastergasted the play button pops and the pause button gets pressed (they're all on his shoulder or smt) and to un 404 him jazz would have to press play. soundwave ofc clicks the square stop button whenever theyre in an argument to fuck with him. when he's snoring jazz/soundwave turns his knob down
