please watch total monster kill

Graced by Geckolepis typica from Madagascar. I love that they’re quite round creatures and then they have these dainty little toes. Also, their scales are full bone and both scale and skin come off when they get grabbed, which is…unpleasant. Consequently, catching these geckos for research without damaging them requires special techniques. 19th century researchers used bundles of cotton wool, but I imagine this wasn’t very effective, because cotton still has a lot of friction and the friction would pull the skin and scales off. In my (quite extensive) experience, the best technique is to carefully and quickly flick the geckos from their tree trunk or branch into an open dry plastic bag using a finger or stick.

Not only do they grow back, but they come back so well that we cannot even tell where they have ripped off before. This is very weird, because when a lizard loses its tail, it is very obvious where it has been lost and regrown. Not so these chaps. They seek out a humid place to hide, and within a few weeks, skin and scales have started to regrow. The fact that they can do this so well is the reason a team has just sequenced their genome. I believe it is hoped that the skin regeneration tech they have built into their cells could eventually be harnessed for human skin grafts.

you've gotta love the aroace trans girls too. You have to

it's been said a thousand times but "male loneliness epidemic" is just our entire generation's loneliness PANdemic. it's just the crisis of capitalism. almost all young people these days are lonely and depressed because of the crisis and decay of the system we live under and tbh the centering of "male loneliness" in this discussion is embarrassing but also a really understandable consequence of sexism & this current stage of culture war . "Oh won't someone think of the young men" oh won't someone think about class consciousness lol

this is my favorite comic ever i never don’t want to see it on my dash

Can we give Isaac Brooks a warm blanket and cookies and therapy. Like I know the answer is probably no but have we at least asked.

you know if you’re gonna include in-universe art in your work that’s supposed to be really good, you need to be damn confident in your own abilities to pull that off. Like if your character is a great poet and you actually wanna show some of their poetry you need to be a really good poet to pull that off and make it believable. which is why every day I’m impressed that the splatoon people did in fact successfully make a song that would make me defect to squid society

like vyncent is really interesting and has an really in depth personality but because its not one that can be shoved into one box and incorrect quotes-ified he just gets labeled as boring and undefined when that truly could not be more incorrect

and because of this he just gets boiled down to williams weird awkward crush. Lol!
