Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say "both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?" Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else's problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn't.

POV: you went diving at night and spotted Ordovician nautiloids feasting on a eurypterid carcass, after a while the commotion has attracted the giants, Endoceratids slowly creeping into view

It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Meet Heliopeltis, one of Morocco’s strangest Devonian trilobites. This 400-million-year-old marine arthropod had a small body, large eyes, and long spines. Scientists think its unusual physique indicates that this species floated on gentle ocean currents.

doing a big ghibli rewatch right now and am just…god. so struck and humbled and shaken touched by the way acts of kindness return to the actor throughout the plots of these films?

haku saving chihiro from drowning as a child and she saves him in the spirit world. princess nausicca’s protection of the baby ohm (both as a little girl and as an adult) so the adults heal her after they trample her in rage. how the old lady inspires kiki in the midst of her depression after kiki took the time to make her a little less lonely. sosuke gave ponyo a name and a bucket and ham: ponyo loves sosuke. sophie showing compassion to the witch who cursed her, thus saving howl’s heart. totoro carrying the umbrella satsuki gifted him the whole film, even before he helps search for mei when she’s lost.

just…fuck me, man. no act of compassion is wasted. ever.

hand printed/sewn/quilted trilobite wall hangings up in my shop now! remnants from a larger project I wasn’t happy with as a whole, but i love the individual pieces. all made with reclaimed denim from an old chair cover, and stitched with thrifted thread. each of the trilobites are stuffed to stick up from the rest of the fabric just a tad :)

Welcome to Trilobite Tuesday! Have you ever wondered how trilobites are found in the field? Often, as was the case for this 3.1-in- (8-cm-) Thysanopeltis, rock after rock must be cracked by hand and carefully examined. The presence of a thin cross-section of calcite—like the crack still visible running through the middle of this critter’s body—indicates that a complete specimen might be buried within the stone matrix.

Pyritized OMANYTE//OMASTAR & Pyritized KABUTO//KABUTOPS

A Pyritized fossil is one where during the formation of said fossil it becomes iron pyrite, a mineral know as "fool's gold" due to its golden shine. This process is common in fossils from the Paleozoic era like Ammonites and Trilobites

This versions of OMANYTE and KABUTO are revived from such pyritized fossils, this not only changes their color, giving them both a golden shell, but also changes their type, now being Water/Steel type

happy trilobite tuesday!

they are closely related to horseshoe crabs and were potentially the first thing to develop eyes!
