Maybe you should look at a picture of Campylomormyrus species and their electrical discharges and then you'll calm down
bye i love this
major traffic incident
the owl house has grown to be my favorite show, and although i will miss it dearly, i am so happy to see that it stuck every single landing from the beginning to its untimely cancellation, concluding with a finale that made me and so many others cry with joy.
i'm probably going to add to this drawing a bit? i will definitely do some more TOH art in the future.
weirdos forever! đź’ś
secret santa artwork i did for my good friend @ahmikii of his characters chariot and nadia being cool and gay (as usual)! everything about this was super fun to work on!
background characters are cameos from more of my friends' ocs, including those of @wyrmghost @mostlyghostly42 @abominandus @redwouldnt @goblinkingvinny @tinydragontoonz @robbiedrancid @naraki :)
you know what’s crazy. you can do just about anything
as funny as it is to say, "there's no such thing as a fish" is not actually true
"science doesn't know what a fish is" is really not true
"fish" is not a monophyletic category. there is no common ancestor of everything that we call a "fish," and none of the things that we don't
"fish" is a paraphyletic category -- and a useful one! marine biologists use it! "fish" describes a general body plan and lifestyle. it is useful to be able to talk about coelacanths and tuna in a shared category, though coelacanths are more closely related to us than to tuna.
where this bugs me is the repetition of the idea that "scientists" are hidebound and uncreative, unable to comprehend anything that doesn't conform to a specific idea of categorization -- when this is fundamentally untrue! we know perfectly well what a "fish" is. the fact that it's a paraphyletic group is only confounding to pop science, as a funny factoid, not to anyone who actually understands what a paraphyletic group is.
