On scanning quickly while scrolling, I saw “lizard researchers” and instead of thinking “humans that research lizards”, I thought “lizards who do research”

nice! Kensington Gardens, was just there a month or so ago on my first trip to England, beautiful place! the pond with all the swans and other birds that weren't afraid of the humans ignoring the don't feed signs was pretty cool as well

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

You might not get your arms around it, but you can still hug a redwood!

hello #catsky, I would like this to be a thing so that it can take its place alongside my other poorly drawn plushies. the other two are good and this will also be good.

thank you in advance,

icarus

every cat has nine lives, but vampurr needs 200 to wake from his crypt

this limited edition plushie will only come to life if we reach the goal of 200 units sold, don’t miss your chance to summon him 🧛

Everybody thinks they're a photography expert now. I put my camera down for a minute and this mantis has to go and change my settings on me.

They look like they should be on a movie set or something. The size is almost unreal.

I went to Sequoia National Park a few times when I was young (early elementary school age?), and went again a few years ago. Even with the memories, they were still impossibly Very Large. I wonder what it would be like to live around normal trees and discover them for the first time as an adult.
