The archeocete Perucetus colossus dives through a coastal bloom of jellyfish in the Pisco Basin (southern Peru), some time during the Eocene (with bonus multiview).

I originally intended to add epibionts to this reconstruction (reflecting the specialized communities found on many living whales, especially baleen whales). Yet, interestingly, it appears that most animal epibionts and ectoparasites of modern cetaceans, such as whale barnacles (Hayashi et al. 2013) and remoras (Friedman et al. 2013), only appeared in the Neogene or late Paleogene, or have a poorly known (co-)evolutionary history, like whale lice (Pfeiffer 2009, Iwasa-Arai & Serejo 2018) and pennellids (large parasitic copepods) (Hermosilla et al. 2015). So, no epibionts* for big lad Perucetus!

References and notes about the reconstruction:

*animal epibionts. Unicellular eukaryotes like diatoms were most likely present on early cetaceans, given their prevalence on modern large marine animals (Ashworth et al. 2022). Of course, it is possible that other animals (i.e., early, less specialized representatives of modern groups, or different taxa altogether) were also already exploiting the surfaces offered by these early whales; however, this remains entirely speculative.

The reconstruction of Perucetus proposed in its original description (Bianucci et al. 2023) includes some rather odd (if interesting) choices about soft tissues, including limbs with webbed and distinguishable fingers, and a manatee-like tail. While these choices might be defendable in light of the rather basal status of Perucetus among cetaceans, I opted for a more derived look based on the assumption that fully marine cetaceans like basilosaurids would have probably rapidly acquired hydrodynamically favorable adaptations, pushing them towards a more familiar Neoceti-like appearance (even though Perucetus itself was likely a poor swimmer (Bianucci et al. 2023), it seems likely to me that this was a secondarily acquired trait, given the less extreme morphology of other basilosaurids).

Reconstruction in the multiview scaled to ~18 m in length after the estimations of Bianucci et al. (2023).

How Common is Neurodivergence?

[image id: poster of "How Common is Neurodivergence?.” There are 12 circles and five small images: an image of a brain, speech bubbles, an infinity sign, a person reading, and a person surrounded by arrows and balls. Each of the 12 circles has a percentage representing how common a particular form of neurodivergence is written in Open Dyslexic font. Full transcript, more information, and references under the cut.]

More Information

Forms of neurodivergence represented here are focused on neurodevelopmental disorders.

These percentages are representative of percentage in general population and do not reflect percentages within neurotypes which are often higher due to co-occurrence being the norm, rather than the exception, within neurodevelopmental disorders; for example, 33-45% of people with ADHD will also have dyslexia (Butterworth & Kovas, 2013), whereas only 10% of the general population are dyslexic (British Dyslexia Association [BDA], 2023).

Certain neurodivergencies are often underrepresented and under-reported, so the percentages are likely to be higher; for example, one study suggests that rates for FASD in the UK may be as high as 17% (McQuire et al., 2019).

Some of the neurodivergencies represented here are umbrella terms and percentages given are representative of all forms of neurodiversity belonging to that term; for example, SpLds include dyslexia which is at a rate of 10% (BDA, 2023) and dyscalculia which is at 3-7% (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne., 2019). Tic Disorders at 1% are another example here, as this is inclusive of Tourette Syndrome which is at 0.6%, and around 1 in 5 individuals exhibit tics at some point during childhood (Cavanna et al., 2017).

You glanced in your coffee mug, hoping it would have been magically refilled. Unfortunately, it was still empty. Your class this morning – Terrisom Tactics in America – was cancelled due to a leak. Your afternoon class – Government and Terrison – was still going ahead, providing that the leak was fixed by then. This caused you to be stuck in limbo, unable to call the day a wash yet, so you remained on campus. You stood to fill your coffee cup but a call to your work phone caused you to sit back down.

“Dr. (L/N)’s office” You said into the phone.

“Hey (F/N), it's Liz. Listen, are you still in DC?” a voice on the other end said.

“Hey, Liz! Yes, I’m tenure track so I don’t think I’ll be leaving soon” you laugh. “What can I do you for?”

“Can you meet me at the diner on 18th St NW in 30 minutes?” Liz asked. You could hear the tension in her voice. Checking your watch you agreed, and she hung up the phone.

You arrive a few minutes early, scanning the dinner before you spot Liz sitting in a booth. The man next to her was unfamiliar but handsome. You gave her a wave as you walked over to the booth and slid in across from the two of them. You noticed as the man's eyes raked over your form, lingering slightly at your chest.

“Y/N, this is George Robinson, George, this is Prof. L/N. She is one of the leading terrorism experts.” Liz said finishing the introductions. You extended your hand for a handshake and George took it. You looked into his face, noticing how blue his eyes were up close. Realizing you had been shaking his hand for too long you quickly removed your own and felt heat rising to your face. George gave you a knowing smile.

“Do you remember when we were doing our undergrads?” Liz asked, your eyes snapping to her face.

“How could I forget? I’m surprised my liver survived” you joked. You met Liz in university, quickly becoming fast friends, pulling all-nighters to study, talk about crushes, and drink. You were the maid of honour at her wedding to Tom a few years ago.

“Have you had any contact with Nathaniel Wolff recently?” she asked, shifting into FBI mode. George studied your face while you rolled your eyes.

“No, thank god.” You replied. “Ever since the breakup, I haven’t been in contact with him”.

“He's calling himself General Ludd now if that rings any bells,” George said.

“I’m aware.” You said, now looking at George. “That was one of the reasons we broke up. I felt that readings from Marx or Gramsci would have been a better theoretical standpoint on his cause. He disagreed so –“ You started to say before Liz cut you off.

“I’m sorry, I know you love theory but we have to go. Thank you for meeting with us.” Liz said, standing to put her jacket on.

“I’d love to hear more. How about over dinner, at 8? I know this fantastic Italian place. The owner is a close friend of mine.” George said. You reached into your purse to take out a business card. He took it, glancing at it before smiling at you.

“Sounds like a date” you smiled back, as he grabbed his hat from the table.

“My driver will pick you up around 7:45, I'll call you when he arrives,” he said, placing his hat on his head, while Liz rolled her eyes waiting for him. Watching the two of them leave you realized that George didn’t tell you what he does for the FBI.

---

You glanced at the clock in your room as you finished putting on your jewelry. Stepping back you admired your reflection. Your hair and jewelry were just right, and your dress was sitting just how you wanted. Grabbing your purse from the dresser, you went into your front hall to find some shoes. Settling a pair from the closet you put them on and leave your apartment. Before you could open the door your phone buzzed. The number was unknown but George said he would be calling you around 7:45.

“Hello?” you said, answering the call on the third ring.

“Hello, Gorgeous.” A deep voice said on the other end, sending a jolt of arousal down your body. “Dembe should be outside, whenever you’re ready.” You walked to the window in your apartment, to see a sleek navy car parked with a handsome Black man standing outside.

“The navy car?” you asked.

“That would be the one” he chuckled. “I’ll see you soon”. He said hanging up the call.

You grabbed your purse and locked the door before making your way to the ground floor of the apartment. Outside, you saw Dembe outside the car, holding something in his hands. Catching his eye, he handed the object to you. It was a bouquet – orchards and peonies you thought – beautifully wrapped. You thank him for the flowers as he opens your door for you.

“I have an undergraduate degree in English” He spoke once you both were in the car. Soon you two fell into a conversation about universities you attended and classes you took. Quickly you arrived at the restaurant where Dembe put the car into park and opened the door for you.

Entering the restaurant you saw George immediately as he was the only person in the restaurant. When he saw you, he stood and approached. His eyes swept you up and down, lips curling into a smile.

“Thank you for the flowers,” you told him, trying to calm your first date nerves. “They're gorgeous”.

“Not as gorgeous as you, my dear” he murmured, wrapping an arm around your waist, guiding you to the table, where a candle was lit in the center, and white wine was waiting in a bucket of ice.

“I took the liberty of ordering the wine” He said pulling out a chair for you. As you sat a soft thank you fell from your lips. He sat in the chair next to yours.

“Before the night gets away from us, I should say that my real name is Raymond Reddington. Goerge is an alias I use.” He said casually, pouring wine into your glass. You reached down and took a sip.

“Raymond Reddington” you repeated, liking the way it felt on your tongue.

“My friends call me Red” Reddington said, placing one of his hands onto of yours. “You can call me whatever you wish”.

A waiter soon delivered a menu, where you took Reddington's advice on what to order. Throughout the dinner, you filled him in on your undergraduate years with Liz, your career, and the problems you had with your undergraduate boyfriend Nathanial. In exchange, he told you about his career – financial broker for the elite – and an extremely funny story about a trip to Casablanca.

While you may have been nervous about the date, you were having a great time. Your head was fuzzy from the wine, the food was incredible, and the man you were with was a gentleman. You offered to pay for your half of the food, but he dismissed the notion with a wave. You tried to do the math on what the bill was but it gave up home when he placed a few one hundred dollar bills in the check holder. It stood in stark contrast to other dates you went on.

Still giggling from the wine and Red’s stories, he wrapped his arm around your waist to lead you out of the restaurant. He carried your flowers in his other hand. Stopping outside the doors, his arms moved to the small of your back. In response you lifted your arms to his neck, chest pressed against his.

“Can I kiss you goodnight?” He murmured, eyes darting between your own eyes and lips.

“You’re not going to ask to come over?” You quietly asked, confusion flickering over your face. Did he not want a second date? Was he that old-fashioned?

“Trust me, I’d love nothing more than to see your place. Unfortunately the FBI has chipped me like a prize dog”. He said, rolling his shoulders slightly. You nodded slightly.

Gently, you pressed your lips against his in a chaste kiss. Pulling back, you looked into his eyes, trying to gauge if you should kiss him again. Seconds later he kissed you with more urgency than the kiss you gave. His hand moved to your face, this thumb stroking your cheek. You kissed back, mouthing opening slightly.

A buzz on your phone caused you two to separate. You moved your hands down to the bag strapped across your shoulders. Red’s hand still rested on the small of your back. He must have read the frown on your face, as he asked what was wrong. You sighed, showing him your phone screen. He let out a chuckle, reading the text Liz sent you, telling you that she hoped you didn't go on the date with him. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Dembes's car pull up.

“Dembe will drive you home, I have to talk to the chef” Red said. He took your hand in his and brought it up to his lips as a way of saying goodbye.

---

The next morning, you almost tripped over a small package outside your door. On top of the package was a note which read ‘Hope to see you again. Maybe wear this the next time? – R’ in gold. Holding the note between your fingers, you opened the box. Inside, was a thin silver chain, with a silver circle hanging from the bottom. On the circle, a small letter R was engraved.

Since I’m sad that otome games don’t have English dubs when they get realeased in the west, I’ve decided to do English fan casts to alleviate the pain. (I get that they’re a niche genre, but let me have this)

Code Realize, Hakuoki, and Amnesia will have the same voice actors from their English dubs. One of the exception is Toma, since his voice actor is unfortunately dead. I would replace Toma’s voice actor with Mike Haimoto. Another exception is Sanosuke Harada’s voice actor since he’s been blacklisted and arrested due to grooming a 16 year old and marrying her in 2014. He’s already been replaced by Phil Hayes in the Hakuoki movies, so he’ll stay.

I’m not doing Collar X Malice at the moment since it’s getting a movie adaptation this year, and (hopefully) it will inevitably get an English dub. If it doesn’t, then I’ll do it on the future. 

The heroines are all voiced in English as well because I say so lol.

                      Rest in Peace Senior Artist Glen Roopchand

From the Facebook page of Rubadiri Victor who reported the death of an icon.

GLEN, PIARCO, OUR 60TH, & THE INHERENT NOBILITY OF MAN...Less than 2 weeks ago senior Artist Glen Roopchand called me asking if I & the Artists' Coalition of Trinidad & Tobago (ACTT) would take up the cause of finding a home in T&T for his 2006 re-creation of Carlisle Chang's seminal mural 'The Inherent Nobility of Man'. I accepted. Yesterday I learned with shock that Glen had died...His call to me now looms in my consciousness as a Last Request. Glen was very aware of my work as a cultural activist & Artist advocate. 

ACTT had unsuccessfully championed this very painting's placement during the country's 50th Independence anniversary in 2012... In our conversation I told him I thought that Piarco was the spiritual home of the painting & that's where we should try for. He agreed. Myself & ACTT had engaged extensive discussions with the Airports Authority on more than one occasion as regards, not only placing Glen's painting there, but making Piarco a gallery space & recepticle of T&T's best Art- from King & Queen costumes, paintings, sculptures, & objects. An explosion of Creativity should greet any visitor to our airport- giving them an intimation of our Magic as a People. 

ACTT was granted extensive tours to all secret parts of the airport to identify spaces where Art could be exhibited. In my attached pictures I've included 4 sites where the mural can hang. But- there always was some impediment to getting it done- & lack of political will... After Glen called, I pulled my files from before, called the ACTT team, & began strategising.And now his jarring death!Reader, to understand why all this is important, you have to understand what the phenomena of THE INHERENT NOBILITY OF MAN means to the Nation.

THE INHERENT NOBILITY OF MAN was a mural created by local Master Artist Carlisle Chang in 1962 for the then old Piarco Airport. Done on imported Italian stone it was one of the greatest works of Art created in the Caribbean to that date. The mural employed an Amerindian (Kalinago/Warao) figure as its main protagonist & showed the stages of human aspiration from despair to triumph against a rich tapestry of indigenous symbols anchored by an ancestral World Tree. The painting symbolised the Golden Age train of the Independence movement- a rooted symbol & call to our best indigenous Self. Then suddenly politicians wanted the mural moved. Architects came forward & offered solutions as to how this mammoth monument could be safely transported to its new location. Instead the country was greeted to the picture of a Minister in a bacco destroying the mural completely!!! Carlisle never recovered from the desecration. It took a long time for the artistic fraternity to recover from the blasphemy. Until this very day the destruction of THE INHERENT NOBILITY OF MAN by politicians is viewed as the singular symbolic act that encapsulates the T&T State approach to Art & Culture. That stain on our Karma persisted for 4 decades. 

Until Glen.Glen was Carlisle's apprentice. He had worked on the mural with him. He had gone through the grief. Glen took it upon himself to recreate the work of his departed Master. With painstaking detail & dozens of scales of studies of all visual types, Glen recreated Carlisle's masterwork to scale on canvas in 2006 and unveiled it in the National Museum. Artists exhaled! One part of our National curse was broken. The final act of reparation for the crime would be the re-installation of this re-created masterpiece in the new Piarco airport. It has not happened yet. If Trinidad authorities & politicians do not find the will, I kindly ask the Tobago House of Assembly to take the painting & install it in the ANR Robinson Airport. 

The installation of this painting in the site the original was destroyed in would mark the cleansing of a great spiritual Evil to this Nation which has been bereft of a national symbolic artistic work like this at its centre for 5 decades. Carlisle's mural is the equivalent of the work done by the great Diego Rivera in his native Mexico. Our Nation needs a work & mantra like THE INHERENT NOBILITY OF MAN at our centre in this perilous time. The Nation's 60th Independence Anniversary is a perfect time to install this work in our National Airport.I urge politicians to do the right thing and make good. Do the right thing by the late Glen Roopchand. Do the right thing by Carlisle Chang. And do the right thing for the Soul of Trinidad & Tobago...

I saw @vimbry do it and I am pretending he tagged me b/c I'm in an overshare mood and I love sharing music I enjoy. I'll add as many links to the list as I can, some shit might be harder to find depending on the outcome.

Rules: you can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, and then tag 10 people. No skipping!
