Due to the recent shit storm happening on here I have decided that I'm gonna delete my art posts in the following days. I don't want my stuff to be fed to AI bullshit. I hope y'all understand
this is exactly why I hate posting my own text posts and why I absolutely refuse to post my own photo content cause all people do on here is steal content and post it as their own
Fossils are so goddamn cool. They form when an animal dies and is buried in just the right conditions for its skeleton and sometimes soft tissues to be replaced by stone. It’s like the Earth itself taking pity on an animal, like hey, I’m sorry my child, let me immortalize you in stone so that even though you may die your memory will live on.
You know what? Fossils aren’t even a memory. They are a memory of a memory.
An animal’s bones replaced by rocks and minerals offering a glimpse into its life. It’s not just like hey, I was alive, it’s also like hey, I was alive and I was a fighter, a survivor, I did things that mattered. We’ve found fossils of dinosaurs locked in combat, fossils of mother dinosaurs covering their eggs to protect them, fossils with healed bite wounds and scars. We even know the fucking COLORS of some dinosaurs due to ridiculously well-preserved fossils.
Dinosaurs (and pretty much all prehistoric animals), lived so long ago that the timespan between them and us is incomprehensible to the human mind (though we like to think we can, we cannot truly comprehend how long 65,000,000 years is, or even like 15,000 years). But even though they lived so long ago, fossils ensure that their memory will live on forever. And that’s beautiful.
I know I post a certain kinda content but that’s not an invitation to find out where I live and what I do for my job. That’s a gross violation of my safety and privacy.
I hate how if you press and move the share button on this app, it automatically sends a post to one of the people you most recently talked to because that’s right where I put my thumb to scroll down. We love accidentally sending someone a post that has nothing to do with anything we’ve been talking about - especially if sending it comes off as passive aggressive on your part!
"Oughh it was such a burn when this white victorian said that poc naturally have smaller brains and are stupider due to where they live XD call the fireman" die 👍
