Black Sicklebill Bird of Paradise (Epimachus fastosus)
I'm not sure if it's canon compliant but giving Bones an anxiety disorder makes for such an interesting dynamic. I mean. This man will not bat an eyelash when an augmented war lord tries to strangle him but has to perform breathing exercises before he uses a transporter. Exceptional
Him bordering on a panic attack when Kirk tells him to perform surgery on a rock followed by the god complex "I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day" after he actually fucking does it.
i love when large dogs are picked up and they’re so absolutely confused as to how this could happen that they just sorta

Someone tagged this as duck… fellas, let me introduce you to the Stilt
On account of his stilts. Of course
Urgent: The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a 24hr Livestream featuring black-necked stilts along with western snowy plovers.
Disappointed, disgusted, but unsurprised. I’m so tired.
Same. Just... same.
Got another one- easy to forget, vital to a readable and polished image. If your values are too close together, it makes it much harder to 'read' an image. Good contrast makes it pop!
Contrast between hues (colour) can also help, but value contrast will be the biggest hitter on your side.🫶

every few months I show this to someone new.
This poor girl's death is all over the news because she was one of the first to die. Everyone knew it would happen and they were waiting to write this story. Nevaeh Crain was one of the first, but there will be more, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand and they won't be people with a story in the paper, they'll be a statistic, a maternal death rate that is horrifying, but that to many will just seem "normal." Sad, but no one's fault. Sad but what can you do? Sad, but that's just the way it is and they'll never understand that no, that's not the way it is in a civilized country. Uruguay has a lower maternal death rate. Oman has a lower maternal death rate. In the Seychelles, in Albania, they have a lower maternal death rate.
Please, don't let Nevaeh Crain's death be the new normal.
Vote democrat.
wait THAT'S where it came from?

Much Ado About Nothing is really funny bc it’s a Shakespeare play where one of the couples already love each other before the play begins and one of them start the show by calling each other brainless backstabbing insufferable whores and you’d think the ones that like each other would be the easier ones to get together but Here’s The Thing

@elodieunderglass come get your boy he's wildin
Mnmmmmm my boy
In a truck stop bathroom washing my hands today and 2 boys, looked about 5 and 9, came in with their little sister who looked maybe 2. The following whispered conversation made my entire day
"We have to wait, there's a lady in here!"
"That's not a lady, he has a mustache! We can be in here!"
"Some ladies have mustaches! And she has boobs!"
"Well some guys have boobs! Like Uncle Jake!"
"Uncle Jake is fat!"
At this point I could not contain a chuckle and both whirled around with identical looks of panic on their faces. I smiled and said "it's alright for you guys to be in here so your sister has help, don't worry. And I'm both! That's why I have boobs and a mustache. Some folks are just built that way"
(In unison) "Ooooooh!"
(older boy) "So do you use Sir or Ma'am or both?"
"Both, but I prefer Sir"
"Cool! Well thanks Sir! We have to help our sister now!"
This was in a small town country truck stop and both boys had "Murica" type stuff on and neither of them had any issue at all with these concepts. Their mom approached me while I was in line about 10 minutes later and apologized for them bothering me in the bathroom (they had told her about the interaction) and she and I had a lovely little chat too. I got to introduce her to the term "intersex" and her reply was "I think I've heard of that before! I didn't know that was the word for it. Amazing how many different ways God can make people!"
Sometimes the world is good. More often than you might think, if you give it a chance. It's not all bad loves <3
HE DID IT FOLKS, HE DID THE THING
I genuinely love how this man wrote the most effortlessly, breathtakingly universal truths I've ever read and then will just...dad joke all over the place.

The one-two punch of something like...

Not many writers ever manage to swing so fully between the poles of absurdity and veracity with such success on both ends of the spectrum. What a gift he was and is to all of us.
Pratchett was really, really good at putting enough meat beneath the humor to make all of it real.
Kinda like The Princess Bride and M*A*S*H that way.
Amazing
