your favourite day (thursday)

they/them. Silly little blog for getting thoughts out of my head. If your favourite day isn't thursday that's ok too I guess. It's not like it hurts my feelings or anything.

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

Given that sturgeons have five rows of scutes, they are basically pentagonal (we can squish them around a bit to make them regular). This of course means that we can use twelve of them to make a dodecahedron. If we used Acipenser stellatus (one of whose common names, according to wikipedia, is the stellate sturgeon) for the faces, we might call the resulting object a stellate dodecahedron (if we imagine the chosen pentagon being roughly in the middle of our fish with the fronts facing outwards, I think this would look vaguely like a small stellated dodecahedron). Of course, by extending the faces we can get a great dodecahedron, which in our case weโ€™ll call the great stellate dodecahedron (I donโ€™t think this changes much visually since weโ€™re working with fully 3D โ€” though freely intersecting โ€” sturgeon whose bodies will mostly block out the new geometry. I could be wrong about that though.). Now if only we can figure out what it means to make star polygons out of fish, we can create great stellated stellate dodecahedrons and small stellated stellate dodecahedrons. And Iโ€™m sure we can all agree that sturgeon are great, so we could even call the great stellated version the Great Great Stellated Stellate Dodecahedron.

Idk what therian and/or dysphoric misanthropist needs to hear this but wild animals run away from you because youโ€™re a big scary predator-looking thing not because theyโ€™re pure mystical beings who shun the two-legged demons that caused industrial climate change or whatever. This is a positive, reassuring statement by the way

Deer arenโ€™t fleeing at the sight of you because youโ€™re an unnatural interloper on their sacred world, theyโ€™re fleeing because they assume youโ€™re fully capable of Fucking Getting them if you were really dedicated enough, which is probably even true. Have a little humility.

You should actually spend some time in nature sometime because after a while you start to recognize that when animals look at you they just see another wild animal. Often theyโ€™re afraid of other wild animals for good reason. Being away from buildings, and around other wild animals in nature makes you very self-aware what you are and yes itโ€™s in a very euphoric way for a nonhuman, but it also brings me further from misanthropy every day because itโ€™s true for everyone, including humans

โ€œI could never be an entomologist. bugs creep me outโ€ sucks to suck because Iโ€™m a real-life pokemon trainer. like look at these and tell me theyโ€™re not pokemon

like are you serious. have fun doing whatever youโ€™re doing ill be at the arthropod zooโ€ฆ also known as the motherfucking pokemon center

hmmm nnnooooo. no not quite
