Araeoscelis gracilis was a superficially lizard-like animal that lived during the mid-Permian, around 275 million years ago, in what is now Texas, USA. About 60cm long (~2'), it had a slender body, proportionally long legs, and a solidly-built skull with strong teeth, suggesting that it was a fast runner that specialized in cracking open the carapaces of thick-shelled prey.
It was one of the last known members of a lineage known as araeoscelidians, which are usually considered to be very early members of the diapsid reptiles – but a recent study has proposed they might have even more ancient roots than that, possibly being a branch of stem-amniotes instead.

risotto: ...traditional sardinian food is worse?
doppio:
(image description: wikipedia article about casu martzu, a traditional sardinian food made of rotten cheese that is eaten while it's infested with live maggots. superimposed on this is a playful photo of david hasselhoff - white guy with bright blue eyes and a strong jawline - smiling and pointing at the viewer. and then the sardinian flag is floating around the edges of the image.)

Target is ruthlessly disappearing their Easter section, and today was the first opportunity I had to really hit a store, but I managed to find my beloved Robin Eggs; in tiny packs within a bag of mixed candy. Easter is belatedly saved!

I keep getting ads on tumblr with a kiwi in them and it reminded me that my ex would eat kiwis with the peel (skin? Fur?) on. Like he just bites into them. Absolutely feral behaviour
