Me: Theres something so tragic about Jam. Its abundantly clear how much Tim cares for Jay. My favorite example being in Entry # 74 where he struggles with the seatbelt for a second because he’s trying to unbuckle it too fast to get to Jay. To a certain extent I think those feelings are mutual, but by season 3 Jay is too far gone. Getting answers comes first and everything and everyone else comes second. It makes me sad to think about what their relationship could have been like if Jay had started going to therapy and taking the pills like Tim tried to get him to do.

My marine science teacher: ok thats great but wheres the lab you were supposed to hand in 2 weeks ago?

Jamming Soft Grains

Hard granular materials -- sand, gravel, glass beads, and so on -- can flow, but, in narrow regions or under large forces, they can also jam up, essentially turning into a solid. Soft particles can also flow and jam, but do so under different conditions than hard particles. (Image credit: Girl with red hat; research credit: F.

"Did that happen?"

"Not everything Louis says is a lie!"

I had forgotten about this part.

Unfortunately I could only find this quality of the video, but it's a very interesting one indeed. It is also one of the first interviews they did, and even there they made it clear that not all would be ... the truth.

Or the whole truth, at least.

i found out a few days ago that we just discovered that mars is absolutely LOADED with water. it's just all about a dozen kilometers below the surface. this could be huge in terms of potential for life on mars - in the past or in the present. water makes places much more habitable, generally. it always makes my day better when i learn a cool science fact so i hope you enjoy. turns out that dusty ass planet is only dusty on the outside! inside, well damn is she wet (did i just ruin this ask i'm sorry u know who to blame

damn is she wet!!!!!

Animal Jam is not a fandom it is a state of being

One cannot play Animal Jam in their childhood and not be none of the following:

Have a love for animals or zoology

Have a heart for conservation

Recycles when they can and takes their recycling bins out with their garbage

Wants to dedicate their adulthood to caring for animals or nature of some kind

Likes art or is an artist

A furry or chill with furries

LGBT or an ally

Remember what rares they had and their favorite den music

Remembers their main look

AJC players and Club Geoz (rip :[ )

Have a favorite animal in-game you still remember

Remembering random animal facts, probably thanks to the game

Remembers staying up late just to play Animal Jam

i didn’t have “the 100 suddenly becomes popular again” on my 2024 bingo card but i do think it’s incredibly funny that lexa is still ~the face~ of the show even when the controversy isn’t mentioned

[scarletjams]

This was a tour de force from 2012 that features several of my DeviantArt friends' Predator characters. It was a trade with the owner of the character placed in the middle, and the harp-like instrument was what she requested that her character play. The rest of the characters got whatever was floating through my head at the time, with a little basic input from the owners.

My character Chaunn is on the left with the toothy wind instrument. Her dad, Khan'nai, plays something like a mandolin. The trio on percussion are three boys with whom I'd worked on a couple of different art trades apiece, so I knew their characters pretty well (and yes, the drums, tambourine, and maracas fit their personalities). The lady on the lower right was a hard call, but said she wanted a horn of some kind. The less colorful players in the background are just fill-in characters.

The fuzzy beast sitting at the central character's feet is from my own headcanon. It's called a pfaukal, and yes, the similarity to a certain Yautja swear-word is deliberate. It's something like cockatoo software running on housecat hardware.

This is a fairly large image at about about 15x20 inches. I used Prismacolor pencils over an ink drawing and watercolor wash. I think it's one of my better efforts, and I'm still proud of it more than ten years later.

Just finished Raptor Red today! I enjoyed it; I like how it doesn't shy away from showing Raptor Red and her species' playfulness and curiosity. It may "humanize" them, but I think it's a fair trade, it's almost as if I were reading about ravens. I also found it interesting that it occasionally changed perspectives to other creatures.

Jamming Inside

Worm-like Spirostomum ambiguum are millimeter-sized single-cell organisms that live in brackish waters. In milliseconds, these cells can retract to half their original length, generating g-forces greater than a Formula One driver experiences when cornering. How, researchers wondered, do these cells avoid shredding their internal structure with forces that strong? (Image and research credit: R. Chang and M.

Chassis Aberration is out!

I'm pleased to announce that Chassis Aberration, my sci-fi-themed O2A2 Jam micro visual novel is out! 🎉✨ You play as an employee in ChassisCycle Corp's synthetic body recycling factory, and your job is to scan the damaged bodies or "chassis" before cleanup. Just be careful with your scanner, because sometimes it will act up... 👀

Check out the game on itch.io!

p.s. Stay tuned for an upcoming web build!

@weird-ecologies tagged me to name my Top 4 movies from the year I was born, which means I get to expose myself as someone who does not actually watch that many movies AND as a devotee of one particular very questionable movie (Doctor Who TV Movie my beloved, and also a staple of my high school years, for better or for worse)

Including the Baz Luhrmann Romeo + Juliet is sort of a questionable call here because I've only ever seen part of it, but I truly did not have another strong contender for my fourth film and also I respect the concept of weird maximalist Shakespeare on a deep personal level, so I feel like it's allowed to stay.

Tagging @marypsue @howsyourweirdbrotherdoing @thesixthstar @fishdetective @wild-west-wind and @chaumas-deactivated20230115 to join in if you want, though like with all tag memes it is of course totally optional
