You guys just have to trust me on this one and click here okay?

Having a body is the true horror, no?

I just went and filled this out, long distance rail is a critical service for getting people around in the US and we need to expand and improve it!

Today is the last day of the survey so act quick!

PLEASE GD IF YOU LOVE AND WANT TRAINS

This reminds me of how photogrammetry software sometimes includes chunks of the sky or foliage in the picture and maps the texture of the object you wanted to capture onto those extra things, I've never seen pixel art (or really any other art) that captures that effect and it's blowing my mind

Pixel art Color Caricature from a while back

Here’s a 5 page comic about a weird project I spent the last month working on 🪲

This stuff always fucked me up when I was doing my Geology degree. Like, you'd be out there at field camper or whatever and you'd see a bunch of rocks and whatever, like they're cool rocks and there's a lot to learn about them but they're rocks very detached from any kind of normal experience.

But then once in a while you'd come across something that looks like it was buried yesterday and suddenly you're transported a billion years ago to a calm stream creating ripples in the soft mud of its bed. Or a reef from the Jurassic with hundreds of shelled animals just chilling. Or the cobbles on the side of a river that was flowing 10 thousand years ago. And there were animals and plants and bacteria just chilling there, doing their thing, just like you're doing today in the same spot (which may have been on the other side of the planet to the degree locations have any meaning in geologic time).

It's amazing we have any record of these periods of time, let alone enough to actually have a pretty good idea about what they were like! So cool

ftr I am forever going to be bitter that the post I wanted to be "let's talk about extinct ecosystems and how cool they are!" got derailed into yet another post just talking about a single taxon like the millions of other posts on palaeoblr

In the library I have been reading lots of books about pesticides and related topics. The library's physical print collection skews toward older books, so there are lots of books over 50 years old.

I will share the findings in subsequent reblogs, but for now I'll say this: Filmmakers and novelists working in the most gory, nauseating crevices of the horror genre could never dream something more twisted, disgusting and absolutely blood-curdling as a book about Turfgrass Lawns from the 1960's.

*sweating, whole body shaking while I stare at a google doc* would he fucking say that????

there’s a new potent drug called “the bed” out on the streets. just one hit of the damn thing and you’re passed out cold, tucked in, multiple blankies, honking and shooing for hours. scary stuff.

Absolutely barbaric and immoral that US states are still carrying out the death penalty (and apparently the federal government is considering bringing it back?). Hi yes, we're going to punish someone for (allegedly, they get the wrong person waaaaay too often) killing someone by killing them. Fuck.

I've been against the death penalty since I was a kid, and the more I learn about how every part of the process is carried out the more horrified I get. They don't let doctors be involved with the process because the Hippocratic oath bars them from harming patients, so most executions are a kind of gruesome shitshow.

And then I go on the internet and find pages of people who think the punishment didn't go far enough? Like, you want to be drawing and quartering people for your enjoyment? Bonkers.

This is more venting than trying to actually convince anyone, but if you want a better set of arguments I can't recommend Jacob Geller's YouTube video on the subject enough.
