My phone says this is a Panicled Aster and I thought it said Panicked Aster and I was like “yeah I get it, it’s rough out there.” #BloomScrolling 🌿
Cody the Human and Pippin the Conure
@codyburkett.bsky.social
A human and conure, trying to survive. Both of us ostensibly he/him, but the human would rather be an incorporal ball of intellect, like a Star Trek energy being. Imgur famous, apparently, due to daily meme dumps.
The spooky season has arrived, and that means Creepy Biology is upon us. It's time to talk origins. It's time to talk gore. It's time to talk about BLOOD. Specifically, YOUR blood 🩸 [a thread]
You joined "grand vizier chat (secret)" You: dark rumors from aboard You: abroad* fuck Sssnakecharmer: mf said aboard WhispersintheChapel: ahoy matey lol PonderMyOrb changed the group name to "rumors from aboard"
herons and egrets are gandalf-coded, i will not elaborate
Me this morning in a mirror, aloud: "Ugh, I hate myself. I'm shit." *pause, then still aloud* "I'm actually not, my brain is lying to me right now." Pippin, *immediately, from my shoulder*: "Good boy! I love you." [Kissing noises]
The smallest bat in North America is the canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), also called the western pipistrelle or American parastrelle. They weigh about 3–6 grams, the weight of a US penny, sheet of paper, or teaspoon of sugar. In flight, they're sometimes confused for moths or butterflies.
Our new paper on bird vocal amplitude is out in @sse-evolution.bsky.social ! Across 123 species, we found two new contenders for world’s loudest bird: bare-throated bellbird and seriema Along with the white bellbird, both can reach jackhammer-level amplitudes! doi.org/10.1093/evolut/qpag153
(I will say that, personally, I find the "nothing will ever get better, we're trapped in an endless slide into oblivion" school of John Brown cosplayer more annoying. You're not going to storm Harper's Ferry and kick off a slave uprising with that attitude!)
It's #FossilFriday, and indeed the final scheduled Friday that the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia is open to the public, potentially forever. So it's finally time to, once again, talk about Haddy — and bring it all full circle. Strap in, it's a big one.
Kevin Sievers@diplotomodon.bsky.social · 3w agoWhen "Dolores" the Corythosaurus (first excavated by famous fossil hunter Levi Sternberg) debuted in its Hall of Earth History in 1957, the Academy of Natural Sciences quickly became known among locals as "the dinosaur museum." The Academy is much more, but Dolores remains standing. #FossilFriday
The world feels like it's being run by people who desperately need to touch grass right now. That is why I have kidnapped 50 of them and dropped them in the middle of the Mongolian Steppe with minimal supplies for the ultimate grass touching experience.

me: no worries (galadriel voice) but they were all of them deceived, for another worry was made

@himmapaan.bsky.social’s ask shall be answered. The bit is drawn! Behold, the definitely real and totally-not-just-a-joke new species of scansoriopterygid: Yi haw.
Keenan Taylor@talesofkaimere.bsky.social · 3w agoYes, yes,I know it’s bad to leak SVP abstracts under embargo but I simply can’t restrain myself. Get ready for a second species of the Scansoriopterygid Yi, this time unearthed in mid-Jurassic Texas. *places 10 gallon hat over tiny dinosaur, fully encasing it* Meet Yi haw.
What if I was a dagger stuck in a tree stump, shining in the autumn sun, what then
An incredibly lovely and evocative animated short. I *highly* recommend taking the 3 or so minutes to watch this
