learning that apparently several hundred people have been pronouncing 'miette' as 'mighty' has actively worsened my day

It makes me feel a little insane to think about how cave paintings and stone carvings are the iceberg of paleolithic art. Those are the artworks we associate with their time period because they're the only thing that survived long enough for us to see. So much of human history has literally rotted away.

you can always tell how little people actually care about art based on how much they hate modern/contemporary art

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

This is “Big Mama”, a fossilised Citipati (a type of oviraptorid dinosaur) She was fossilised, still brooding her nest of eggs, likely protecting them from a sandstorm 💗

Big Mama protected her eggs until the very end. Some fossils of Oviraptorids were found with eggs, leading palaeontologists to believe they were egg stealers! It was then discovered that they were their own eggs; they were just looking after them. But they had already been given the name “Oviraptor” or “Egg Thief”…😭
