“People suck”

Okay but what about the person who brought this injured dragonfly to a wildlife rehabber

I know that lesbian is also a word that can refer to someone from the island of lesbos and when Herodotus says that a king “sent his lesbians” to do something he’s referring to soldiers from lesbos

but I can’t get the image out of my head of a king or general pointing at a city and yelling “go, my lesbians!” and then a bunch of gay women running in to burn it down

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

It's fun reading writers who clearly grew up in suburban/urban environments as someone who grew up on a farm because they're always like "oh it was so creepy, woods at night, eerily breathtaking, something was living in there..." and it's like yeah that'll be the deer.

Say hello to your new favorite sharks. 😍🦈♥️⁠

Deep-sea catsharks (family Pentanchidae) prowl the waters just above the deep seafloor, searching for small fishes and invertebrates. Their keen senses help them find prey in these dim depths. ⁠ ⁠ Much like the eyes of house cats, the eyes of deep-sea catsharks have a mirrored lens to see better in the dark. Called the tapetum lucidum, this layer of tiny crystals behind the retina reflects light back into the eye to improve vision under low-light conditions. Like other sharks, deep-sea catsharks also have a sixth sense. Tiny gel-filled pits—known as the ampullae of Lorenzini—under their snouts can sense the electrical impulses of prey, revealing a meal buried in the mud.⁠

Scientists have described more than 100 different species of deep-sea catshark from waters around the world. In fact, deep-sea catsharks represent the largest family of sharks alive today. Most are small, typically only 80 centimeters (31 inches) long. They often have a long, slender shape with dorsal fins set further back on their bodies. We have encountered four different catshark species off the west coast of the United States and the waters around Baja California.⁠ ⁠ Sharks help support a healthy ocean, but their populations worldwide are in decline. Overfishing, fisheries bycatch, and habitat destruction threaten these magnificent animals. Deep-sea sharks are particularly at risk because they grow slowly and reproduce late in life. Our work to understand deep-sea catsharks and their kin is providing information that resource managers can use to protect these amazing animals of the deep and the habitats they call home.⁠
