Sneaking in under the wire before asks get closed to profess my love for my favorite critter on earth and that's BIRDS BABY

Guys got wings and flight (mostly) and FEATHERS? birds baby! Little beaks and little feet and nests?? ALL BIRDS BABY

Went to college for six years to study these fuckers (affectionate) (well the whole six years wasnt birds, the first three were Denial and Failing Chemistry More Than Once), and now I'm studying birds and I'm an avid birder and I love them more than potentially most other things

my current favorite is the belted kingfisher in case anyone was curious (you weren't but you should google him anyway they're perfect) and a close second is literally any of the nightjar/goatsucker family (pennant winged nightjar anyone?? literally PERFECT BEING)

anyway sorry for all the yelling im a little overtired and want all my babies to migrate home safe as the weather warms up

so all of this bird-flavored ranting to a captive audience to say: I am DETERMINED to be the first bird detected on this page

Surviving Rainfall

Water striders spend their lives at the air-water boundary, skittering along this interfacial world. But what happens when falling rain destroys their flat existence? That's the question that motivated today's research study, which looks water striders subjected to artificial rain. (Image credit: top - H. Wang, animations - D. Watson et al.; research credit: D. Watson et al.; via APS Physics) Read the full article

あめんぼあめもよう。

すっかり桜も見ごろが過ぎつつあります西の民でございます。

今年の桜の名残を楽しむかのように、花筏を縫いながら水面を滑るアメンボのカップルの姿がございました。

Cherry blossoms and water striders.

The Frank and Walters /11.03.2022/ Death Disco

Λίγα πράγματα μπορούν να προσελκύσουν ένα φίλο της indie μουσικής όπως μια πρωτοβουλία της ομάδας Fresh and Yellow (αν με ρωτάτε προσωπικά, τους γνώρισα -μουσικά- πριν από περίπου 20 χρόνια, φοιτητής ων σε ένα από τα πάρτι που διοργάνωναν στο θέατρο Φούρνος της Μαυρομιχάλη. Ε, από τότε, κάθε πρότασή τους αποτελούσε μια safe επιλογή για ακρόαση, σαν να ανακαλύπταμε μαζί τις μουσικές). Μια…

Rose: Here’s how I built my screaming plant;

John’s voice: GIVE IT TO ME GIVE IT TO ME GIVE IT TO ME JUST GIVE IT! DAAAAMN

Rose: Which plays audio whenever the plant is thirsty.

Jade’s voice: AAAAAAAAAAH!

Rose: It’s built around the ESP8266, which is connected to a moisture sensor and speaker inside a 3D-printed enclosure.

Rose: To make it interesting, I pestered all my friends and asked them to pretend to be dying plants.

tentacleTherapist: Pretend you’re a dying plant, who hasn’t been watered in 5-6 days. You finally see your human walk past, and you have 5-10 seconds to say something, scream, etc. The only thing is you can’t curse, or say something that will get me banned from Pesterchum.

Rose: Then I loaded all the audios onto the board. Each audio was then randomly played like this:

Dave’s voice: hey, bozo. water me, i’m thirsty.

Rose: Okay…

Rustic linen obi with super cool embroidered amenbo (water stider) and suiren (water lily).

This obi is a more of a summery item, but I thought it'd suit @mafaldinablabla ongoing pondsy chronicles well :3

Robro what does the note say please tell us 🙏

[ The paper feels like it’s about to crumble in your hands. Sections of it are smudged and broken from water damage. It’s hard to decipher parts of it, (the beginning is practically all faded out), but you try your best. ]

Dirk,

[_______________________________________________________________________]eparating you guys. [__]se says its for the best though, and i trust her. something about keeping you ‘self sufficient’ whatever that means. but she did at least agree to leavin yall a lil present. hopefully mine can provide for you if [__] not around. which im startin to think is more and more like[__]. R[___]’s got a feelin that its the end of the road for us. shes never been wrong before—

—it was really only a matter of time after the stunt i pulled. [____] was on my ass for days. shit was embarrassing. for her of c[__]rse. striders dont break a sweat. anyways, i should probably start preparing for the batterwitch. with your apartment finished and all the [____] thing left to do is wait. pretty grim but i think its what ive been doin all my life. just sucks that i wont get to see fruit of it all. you.

thats what [__] present is for though. maybe my ghost can live vicariously through metal me. who is hopefully reading this letter to you right now. dont even know why i left this considering itll be years before you can understand it. i don’t even know if youll care about this note. me. whatever. but if theres one thing you get out of this yap sesh, let it be that whatever comes, whatever hap[___]s to me, will be worth it if it means youre safe. all of this was for you. remember that.

— D[___] Strider

its completely unrealistic to believe that baby dirk, fresh off his meteor, was able to both not drown and somhow climb up into his bros old apartment

alpha dave setting up a wile e coyote giant baseball mitt and catapult contraption to catch and fling limp neck dirk to safety IS however completely believable and in character

#youre trying to tell me rose DIDNT tell dave about his ectobro living in water world #and dave giving himself an ulcer trying to figure out how to make sure this future baby doesnt DROWN #he WOULD come up with this and rose would hate that it works #alpha dave strider #dirk strider #homestuck #does dirk know what the contraption was for??#does he think its just one of his bros old ironic art installations??#or did dave set up a camera that miraculously survived and made sure it said SWEET CATCH when it filmed dirk landing #and dirk has to live with that knowledge #i desperately need to know
