no i don’t dress alt or grunge or hippie or boho. no i don’t do quads. no i don’t typically wear my gear in public. no i’m not skinny. yeah i look like a stereotypical white girl. yeah i look ‘basic’ a lot of the time.

AND IM STILL NONHUMAN. AND IM STILL NONHUMAN. AND IM STILL NONHUMAN. AND IM STILL NONHUMAN.

you cannot tell someone’s identity from their appearance. there is no way to “look like a therian” or “look nonhuman”. we are everywhere, and we look like everyone.

Therians with predator 'types, especially those of you who don't eat meat, might I recommend a shower orange? Take an orange, cut it in half (unless you think your claws can tear into it or you don't mind the taste of the peel), take it in the shower with you so you can make a mess and just tear into that shit like it's meat! Would probably also work with mangoes, peaches, any soft fleshy fruit but I find oranges are nice because they're big and the juice gets everywhere.

Day 6 - The Thousand - ‘Prince with a thousand enemies…’ I love the eerie feel of the lapine culture of Watership Down ❤️✨

This was inspired by this amazing piece of art by ArtofMaquenda: https://www.etsy.com/listing/746384853/prince-with-a-thousand-enemies-version-2?epik=dj0yJnU9cUlnX043VUpwakVseWdmNDBFUEdjRjgyY0ZaZTkxYi0mcD0wJm49ZEhtMDlBUnB4RDd5R1RyT2ZXSnQ0ZyZ0PUFBQUFBR2J5RUg0

I know your lionhead bigwig art was like 2 fucking years ago atp but it's not actually all that far fetched for him to have some lionhead in him

The rabbits don't seem too ridiculously picky on who joins a warren and European rabbits (which is most definitely the species of the rabbits in watership down is) and domestic rabbits can reproduce unlike American cottontails and domestic rabbits

oh that’s fascinating, I didn’t know that! Lionhead Bigwig ftw

"Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed"

Okay for context the other rabbit is nanabozho! (Also called Wenabozho, Nanaboozhoo, Nanabush and Manabozho, they have a lotta names--) and he's a prolific and prominent character in many of my people, the anishinaabe (Ojibwe), stories!

I drew him interacting with el-ahrairah because he reminds me so much of nanabush-- they both have a connection to a higher power, their gods, both are tricksters, both are part of their respective creation myths, and both care deeply about their people!

Nanabozho is a shape shifter, while he takes many forms their most common is a hare! So that just made me think of them even more fjdndndn

(I posted this on insta a while back and the artist for the Watership Down graphic novel liked it and I still haven't recovered mentally from that--/pos)

Oh btw, nanabush is genderfluid, no I am not joking--

To anyone who follows me, I don't care about nor trust Colossal Biosciences anymore (The people behind the "Wooly Mice"). They have proven themselves to be headline-chasing grifters after this latest stunt. They are claiming to have de-extincted *Aenocyon dirus*, aka the Dire Wolf, by editing just 20 genes from the the DNA of a Grey Wolf (*Canis lupus*) to make this thing:

If it wasn't clear from their scientific names, Grey Wolves and Dire Wolves aren't remotely related to one another aside from being Canids, despite what pop culture like Game of Thrones would have you believe. If they did look like each other, it would have had to be via convergent evolution, as they only shared a common ancestor over 5 million years ago.

This distinction, however, isn't found in the publicized articles about this so-called resurrected Dire Wolf and makes their claim that they brought the Dire Wolf back by simply editing *20* genes from the genome of a Grey Wolf laughable. A Dire Wolf would have shared more in common genetically with a Maned Wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*) or Bush Dog (*Speothos venaticus*) than it would with a Grey Wolf.

Bottom line, don't fall for whatever this company is trying to tell you. If the Dire Wolf were to be brought back, it wouldn't be via something like this, and certainly wouldn't *look* like this. If you want an idea as to how a real Dire Wolf would look like in life, here is some fantastic paleoart by artist Mauricio Antón:

Addendum: I seem to have partially miscalculated Dire Wolf genetics. They were not closer to Maned Wolves or Bush Dogs, but they were still not closely related to Grey Wolves. They were basal members of Canini, related to canids like Jackals (genus Lupulella) but distinct from them. I am sorry for this misinformation in my attempt to correct other misinformation. My main point, however, is still correct.

I love pictures of wolverines laying down like this

That's the exact way I flop down on the couch when I get back from work every day. My mate always teases me about it.

That's a tired man getting back from his 9-5
