just watched a video of a wildlife rehabber tube-feeding the teeny tiniest orphaned baby opossum and the comments are fucking KILLING me
baby opossum (too teeny, hasn’t finished cooking in the marsupial pouch like it ought to have done, doesn’t even look like it should exist):

anyone else wanna hug astronaut Reid Wiseman and weep?
This is so cool
ok!
Someone captured the solar eclipse on an airplane
The Silver Rivers, South Iceland (2019)

so i'm in this backyard chickens group on reddit and someone just discovered their hen is transitioning and everyone is stoked
anyway in case you didn't know chickens will sometimes spontaneously f2m and it's pretty cool
these absolutely cannot stay in the tags
BREAKING NEWS
I just learned about a bird species called Golden Plover. Their chicks have an amazing camouflage: their baby fluff resembles MOSS!
LOOK AT THEM! JUST LOOK AT THEM!
...Oh to be a tiny golden plover lying in the moss safe and sound waiting for your mom to bring you some worms...
ATTENTION: IT IS NOW TIME FOR MOSS
Reminds me of the "Tapera Naevia" aka Striped Cuckoo whose chicks look like Pine Cones, so now we have "Moss Birb" and "Pine Cone Birb"
So the James Webb telescope took a picture of a infant star!!
The small glowing blob is protostar L1527! Caught in the glow of its sunrise-like creation the baby is only 100,00 years old! It can take up to 50 million years for a star to reach the size of our sun. This infant has a long time to go.
Located 460 light years away this is one hell of a childhood photo!
Kinda in love with the idea that different places on other sides of the world can look so similar. Something something universal human experiences
Like. Kyrgyzstan and Switzerland?
Miami and the Gold Coast (in Aus)
New Zealand and Oregon
The great plains and the Russian steppe
India and fiji
Gonna consolidate a couple additions/recommendations from others
Napa Valley, California and Tuscany, Italy
Appalachians in America and the Grampians in Australia
Black sand beach in Iceland and New Zealand
Aurora borealis and australis
Congo and Amazon rainforest/river
desert roads in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, and Mexico
Mountains in France and Korea
fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk
Amazing day to night time-lapse of a Ghost fungus.
It has bioluminescent properties and is known to be found primarily in southern Australia and Tasmania
ALSO:
“The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.”
As a biologist I am reblogging this so hard.
Biological sex is not and has never been a binary. The complexity of the natural world cannot be contained in neat little societal boxes. Stop using science to justify your bigotry.
