[Video of venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough standing amid vegetation.  On a near-horizontal branch above his head is a brown and yellow greater bird of paradise, about the size of a crow, with big floaty yellow plumage puffing out along its back.]

Bird:  Pwuk.  Pwuk.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  This, surely –
Bird (hopping along the branch):  WUKWUKWUkwukwukwukoooh.  Oooh.  Oooh.

[Cut.  Same shot.]

Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  This, surely, is one –
Bird:  Kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  This, surely –

[Cut.  Same shot but the bird is on the other side now and venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough has his hand on the branch.]

Bird (hopping up and down on venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough’s fingers):  Eh-eh.  Eh-eh.  Eh-urrrr.  Eh-urrrr.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  Close up –
Bird (hopping away from him):  Tiktiktiktik.  Tiktiktiktik.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – the plumes –
Bird (hopping around):  Huek.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough: – are truly –
Bird:  Huek.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – exquisite.
Bird:  Huek.  Eh-eh.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  The gauzy –
Bird (hopping and spinning on the spot):  HukWUKWUKWukwukoooh.  Oooh.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  …

[Cut.  Same shot but the bird is back on the original side of the branch.]

Bird:  Aark.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  Of course, by the eighteenth century –
Bird:  Ehhh.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – naturalists realized that birds of paradise –
Bird (hops across to the other side of the branch)
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – did have –
Bird (hopping back again):  Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – legs.  Even so –
Bird:  WUKWUKWUKWukwukwukooh.

[Cut.  Same shot.]
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough (apparently trying to tickle the bird’s tummy):  – by about the eighteenth century –
Bird (hops away and spins round)
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – and so –
Bird:  AAAAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK AAAK aaak.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough (wearily):  …  Very well.

Bird:  Wooo-ooo.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – wooo-ooo –
Bird (surveys the surroundings with a dignified turn of the head)
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  ‘paradisia apoda’: the bird of paradise –
Bird:  Hoooo.
Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough:  – without legs.
Bird:  Eh-eh.

I’ve been planning to teach students how to describe videos and write transcripts and I shall save this post for this very purpose.

My last attempt to repaint with my eye being messed up was not good. You did not see it because it was a grade A certified shitshow. I managed to make two eyes that were sculpted On To The Head completely different sizes and shapes and everything was smearing and just really disheartening. But I want to repaint Glimmer so badly and I feel so empty and directionless without doing something artsy

I'm gonna try?

I'm having a lot of feelings about She-Ra and not really anyone to talk to about them so it's going to be channeled through rearranging this dolls eyeballs apparently

[ladyyatexel]

You know, it is pretty difficult to make her look like actually Glimmer.

And my paint is thick and shaky but considering how much I can’t see out of my left eye this is pretty solid.

I’m going to keep poking at it maybe I can make something happen.

I'm not too chubby but nor am I very skinny; I'm medium but even so I can feel bad about the bit of tummy I do have (and others little comments don't help) I also choose not to shave and as an afab person it's hard to not feel pressured into it (as well as people making many comments on my body; most of which not postiv). Your art of Azriphale is just so lovely and makes me feel lovely (honestly your entire blog makes me feel lovely)♥️♥️ So thank you and keep drawing ♥️♥️♥️

Awww you make me smile x 
God, I wish people could just shut up about other peoples’ bodies unless they have something positive to say. Like, come on mate, you’re commenting on either something a person cannot change (frustrating!) or their conscious choice when it comes to clothing or shaving etc (discouraging! and plain friggin’ rude!). 
Hope you go strong and brave through the summer! It’s hard when we do things that make us comfortable with our bodies and then we go out and painfully realise that the society (fuck society) doesn’t share our view.
I’m currently trying to enjoy the summer despite my dermatillomania. Throughout years shorts weather meant ppl who would usually say ‘you’ve got legs like a model :***’ to suddenly go ‘oH whAT happened to your LeGs’ cuz every single spot I pick on leaves purple marks that last for ages after it heals, leaving me looking as if a hundred bed bugs decided to have a drink on me. One week of a completely random breakout ruined months of my progress. But whatever. Summer is tough for anyone with body related issues and we’re gonna fucking survive it!

which one of them got a place in london first… which one of them was like for unrelated reason i will live in the same city as you

[mortuarybees]

aziraphale moved there first and crowley was just staying in expensive hotels or renting rooms or, god forbid, moving to other cities and just visiting now and then, and overall not getting the hint that aziraphale wasnt planning on moving again and he wanted him to stay too. So he bought the bookshop and made a lot of very obvious and loud comments about how Sturdy the foundations are and hes not leaving til the next millennium at LEAST and he’d really rather not leave the city if at all possible, and crowley finally gets the hint and buys a flat, claiming that if aziraphale is going to spread his holiness all over the city long term, crowley has to be there to balance it out.

the only reason crowley hadnt put down roots yet was because he was worried aziraphale would move cities again and then crowley would have to come up with an excuse as to why he needed to sell his property and move to wherever he’d gone. moron4moron rights

Mapping how the ‘immortal’ hydra regrows cells may demystify regeneration

Via Science News

Caption:

Fluorescent markers reveal which genes are turned on as hydras’ stem cells develop into specific cell types. For instance, nerve cells light up magenta in one hydra (second from left). Another (second from right) shows gene activity behind two of the stages of development (early, green; late, red) of the animal’s stinging cells.
