I Ate A Sock!

beavers have the lifestyle that most children dream of. dig and travel through underwater canals. dam a river and flood the local woodlands. stomp mud into dam to seal. swim to flooded trees and destroy them. live in a secret hideout with a underwater entrance. full ownership over an engineering project

When I was a kid, during recess we discovered a leaky spigot that was creating like a constant mud puddle. Over the next couple of weeks, we started spending the entirety of recess making a dam. Damming what? Honestly nothing. Just building an increasingly giant wall of mud and sticks around that spigot. Other kids would gather around to watch or take part.

Eventually the teachers made us stop, but for a glorious two weeks, we were living that dream.

The children yearn for the earthenworks

I love the idea of Spock being super queer, highly expressive and very emotional from a Vulcan view point. Like...

What humans see:

What Vulcans see:

i love how this implies that gritty is how vulcans see jim

It is.

Some closeups of the best graffiti I've ever seen

bro i fucking hate living next to a fucking tavern they always have the worst fucking singers performing on saturdays

my life is a joke i live 2 minutes from a castle in one direction and the old town market in the other. you can see remnants of the old walls in part of the town, our library used to be the medieval townhall. we have a 500 y/o fairy tree overlooking the entire valley. and i dont even have any elves to fuck

someone ordered our new limoncello cocktail, took one sip, and sent it back, and when the bartender saw it he just whimpered "they didn't like it...?" and looked at the waitress like

Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

this is the definition of college.

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

this is how it works half of esteemed biologists trip and fall into their specialty while pursuing something else. one lecturer i just went to started as a biochemist researching antibiotics and discovered that crocodiles change colors based on environment and now he has 30+ crocs in his yard for research purposes and he’s just like… “wait… i’m a chemist…”

How did so many people end up with crocodiles on accident?????

you just go into science and after a while, crocodile…

this duck LOVES pink drink

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this but I just got hit by a huge parallel in Network Effect

Early on, ART tells Murderbot, regarding Amena, "tell her you care for her. Human juveniles need to hear that from their caregivers" (paraphrasing here, i don't have the text in front of me)

Later, Ratthi insists that they show Murderbot the video surrounding its retrieval. Murderbot is absolutely astounded by all the effort gone into getting it back

Clearly juvenile humans aren't the only ones who need it spelled out

I think so many people forget making the world a better place isn’t just about having all the ‘correct’ sociopolitical opinions and beliefs and knowing all the theory it’s also hugely about actually being a good person… everyday acts of kindness and empathy, going out of your way to help others, small moments of connection in a cold world, loving thy neighbour all that

i'm going crazy over all the pink dogwood trees in bloom right now

somebody tagged this #sakura even though i say right in the post that it's dogwood. sakura means cherry blossoms. this tree doesn't grow cherries (it grows dogs)

one of those generically cheerful Bless this Home (and all who enter) signs, but instead it says Memento Mori (remember that you must die)

so, i made a thing

Not quite the same concept (sorry to add on), but this is the sign I have right inside my door

@ellynneversweet your TAGS: #I once visited a cousin’s house where she had ‘friends’ ‘relax’ signs and bit my lip the entire time so as not to ask where the matching ‘enemies’ ‘beware’ signs were

environmental storytelling.

completely obsessed with the brazilian cover of artificial condition

Got cursed by thought goblins

Also a mood

For the last time dude, my leitmotif sounds exactly like it always has. There is no symbolism for creeping corruption in there

A silly lil comic I did to practice how to speed up the process :3 I had created the sketch of this almost forever ago, and I decided to finish it, I very much like the end processes but I do feel I failed in my intended mission. But that’s not a big deal, and I can try again :3 I wish for the life of me I could remember where I found this dialogue/prompt, but I can’t find it.

Either way, Donnie and Casey bond over being dramatic 💜🖤
