How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow

Today's sapphic book of the day is How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow!

Summary: "Kelly Quindlen meets Casey McQuiston in this sapphic Jewish twist on the classic Christmas enemies-to-lovers rom-com, as college freshman Shani’s internship is interrupted by a whirlwind winter fling.

It all starts when Shani runs into May. Like, literally. With her mom’s Subaru.

Attempted vehicular manslaughter was not part of Shani’s plan. She was supposed to be focusing on her monthlong paleoichthyology internship. She was going to spend all her time thinking about dead fish and not at all about how she was unceremoniously dumped days before winter break.

It could be going better.

But when a dog-walking gig puts her back in May’s path, the fossils she’s meant to be diligently studying are pushed to the side—along with the breakup.

Then they’re snowed in together on Christmas Eve. As things start to feel more serious, though, Shani’s hurt over her ex-girlfriend’s rejection comes rushing back. Is she ready to try a committed relationship again, or is she okay with this just being a passing winter fling?"

How To Excavate A Heart

Jewish lesbian winter romcom

a girl still reeling from a bad breakup plans to spend her winter break focusing on her paleoichthyology internship

she can’t stop running into (literally, with a car) a girl after getting a dog-walking gig, & they have a winter romance

#How To Excavate A Heart #aroaessidhe 2022 reads #as says one of the top GR reviews: lesbians are so funny #the way i almost wrote ‘summer internship’ because it happens over christmas. as if there isn’t snow on the cover and all through the book. #southern hemisphere brain #anyway this is really good! #(minor spoilers:) #why do i keep reading books about sapphics going to stay with a grandmother figure who ends up having a medical emergency tho

[blizz4rd1203]

maybe we hate each other because you molt your feathers all the time and i leave slime trails under stress and it’s annoying to clean up

or maybe it’s because you’re wrong about paleoichthyology

THE FALLING IN LOVE MONTAGE by Ciara Smyth 🎡

Saoirse doesn’t believe in happy endings. When she meets Ruby, the two girls form a pact: they’ll have one summer of fun, complete with every cliché, rom-com montage-worthy date they can dream up, with a binding agreement to cut ties come fall. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters actually fall in love… A moving and sweet love story that follows fleshed-out characters. Chock-full of witty inner monologue and dialogue. 

HOW TO EXCAVATE A HEART by Jake Maia Arlow ❤️

Reeling from a bad breakup, Shani has no intentions of entering a new one - she’ll put her head down and work her hardest at her paleoichthyology internship. But then she meets May. So bighearted and sweet, I couldn’t put it down. The characters are realistically flawed and the drama never feels over the top. 

ALWAYS THE ALMOST by Edward Underhill 🎹

Sixteen-year-old trans boy Miles Jacobson has two New Year’s resolutions: 1) win back his ex-boyfriend who broke up with him when he came out as trans and 2) finally beat his arch-nemesis at the Midwest’s biggest classical piano competition. But that’s not going to be so easy. Then Miles meets the new boy in town, Eric Mendez, a proudly queer cartoonist from who asks his pronouns and makes his heart skip a beat. A sweet, hopeful if not especially memorable read. The main character’s dad being a feminist who doesn’t accept the fact that his son is trans reflects how feminism often isn’t inclusive or intersectional enough.

If reptiles evolved from fish, when would we have started classifying them differently?

the long and short of it is:

there is no hard fast line where one taxon stops and another begins; rather, there are evolutionary transitions. what that means is that the change from fish to tetrapods (the group containing reptiles; reptiles didnt evolve directly from fish themselves) happened very gradually to an extent that there is no species that can be hailed directly as the first tetrapod, which is why when youre reading about evolutionary transitions, they always say one of the first.

its like this gradient:

where does the blue stop? where does the purple start? the answer is that there isnt a clear line that has blue and blue only to its left and purple and purple only to its right.

its similar when talking about the fish to tetrapod transition. theres a reason organisms like tiktaalik and archaeopteryx are called transitionary organisms; they have x and y traits of one group and b and c traits of another.

look; the creature at the bottom is 100% fish and the creature at the top is 100% tetrapod, but in between? theres no immediate shift from fish to tetrapod, and the same goes for the vast majority of transitions.

tl;dr: theres no point at which classification changes from one group to another because evolutionary transitions are gradual and not subtle

before you say "aww, cute," just remember that this is blatant pro-placoderm propaganda.

(but obviously i'm joking and this paleoartist has great ideas and is extraordinarily talented.)

I see you like fishys.☺

Around %40 of my brain is dedicated to thinking about fish at any given time.

I like fish enough that back when I was in university, I, a grubby little art and design major, managed to weasel my way into a bunch of icthyology and paleoichthyology classes I had almost no prerequisites for, just by being excessively enthusiastic about ‘em.

aka “who am I, why and where can you find more?” Who am I? My name is Alex or CT. Im 32 and live in germany. I am a drafter for machinery blueprints with a fulltime job. Financial, health and social issues prevented my ability to actively study paleonthology at a university, but I am still trying my best to learn as much as I can, not only about dinosaurs, but all prehistoric beings. Additionally I have a huge nerdyness for everything living in water today since the day I could talk, wich is why I specialize my research on the field of paleoichthyology. What can you expect from this blog? Creatures, mainly. Especially of the aquatic kind. Fish and paleoart, but also pokemon and JP fanart. Commissionwork only if the customer is okay with me displaying it. I will also link occasionally to updates on my personal worldbuilding blog Othervorgestern. Due to my fulltime job my art is sporadic, however there are some formats wich I keep regular: FishFriday: Most people view fish as some of the most boring creatures on earth. And it is my goal to change that. Hopefully shedding some light on those nontetrapod vertebrates. Every friday I prepare an informative post about some kind of fishy knowledge. Often about extinct fish, but also about the wonders that swim through our waters today. This will sound clickbaity, but: Fish? Fascinating? - It is more likely than you think.

Streams: I stream on picarto every 1st and 3rd Sunday of a month from 5PM-7.30PM UST. Here I draw hybrids of creatures you people ask me to draw. So dont be afraid to drop in and join the fun Commission information: Status - OPEN Regular Blobbifications External links: Twitter Picarto My other blogs
