I don’t know how to else to express this thought, but I think a lot of people believe they want a social media account when what they really want is a private server.

It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Feast your eyes on this dolomitic Encrinurus, uncovered from the Silurian exposures of Illinois. Notice the stalked-eyes atop its cephalon? This morphologic trait may have allowed it to burrow into the sea floor and keep watch over its surrounding marine world.

It’s always so funny to see fanart of a character that is drawn with rippling muscles and a huge bulge and when you go to see how they appear in canon, they look like this:

Candlelight vigil today at 6 to mark one month of closed doors at The Academy of Natural Sciences. Wear all black. I’ll bring candles. We’re keeping the pressure up until there is a concrete plan to reopen this museum. This is also a great time to pick up posters to distribute!

I rounded up 13 bone-chilling Indigenous horror reads that’ll crawl under your skin and into your dreams. Stephen Graham Jones is back with Off the Reservation, Never Whistle at Night returns for blood, and writers from Alaska to Aotearoa are bringing the scares. redpopnews.com/13-bone-chil...

redpopnews.com13 Bone-Chilling Indigenous Horror Reads That Will Crawl Under Your Skin and Into Your DreamsIndigenous people have been telling scary stories for thousands of years. For most of modern horror's history, though, we showed up as the curse instead of the storytellers. Think of the Overlook Hote...

But I think this is indicative of the ongoing way people interact with games. Series aren’t things created by people - they’re objects and products. And so many people that play games simply do not care about the human cost behind these things

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

Very well researched on a lot of things (other things need a bit of suspension of disbelief ofc) I enjoyed the ending more in the movie than I did in the book, which is very rare for me with movies. Go see it, if you can…stomach it.

Spoilers Additional thoughts: -It was a weirdly satisfying detail that when the squid died, it changed color, like real squid do when you dispatch them. -The sound design throughout the whole thing was phenomenal! -Loved all of the garibaldis in the beginning!

Lots of neat little details and cool lighting provided by dinoflagellates and other bioluminescent critters. I think some of the changes made really helped with the flow, since you don’t get Jay’s inner voice as much, like in the book.

Slight spoilers I cried at the scene I knew I was going to cry in. I think the orca scene was my favorite. The blood trailing in the water was so beautiful. I liked the attention to color at different depths too!

Oh, it was really good! It’s a bizarre film that fully commits to itself. I think it does a great job of adapting the original novel. It was stomach-churning, in every sense of the word. Visceral, even.

I am reading ‘The Nerd Reich’, a book about technofascism, and it really is fascinating. As observed about Elon; they seem to have no ‘culture’ in terms of art etc. They don’t seem to really love anything, or talk about bright or beautiful or funny things, ever, in terms of their values.
