ELDRITCH

[adjective]

unearthly, alien, supernatural, weird, spooky, eerie.

Etymology: of uncertain origin. Possibly from Middle English eldrich, from earlier elrich, equivalent to Old English el- (or Elf), “foreign, strange, other” + rīċe, “realm, kingdom”; hence “of a strange country, pertaining to the Otherworld” or “Fairyland”; compare Old English ellende, “in a foreign land, exiled” (compare German Elend, “penury, distress” and Dutch ellende, “misery”), Runic Norse alja-markir, “foreigner”.

Guys, this is not a drill. Antarctic scientists need you to study photos of penguins to help them figure out how climate change is affecting these stumpy little flightless birds.

Scientists from the UK have installed a series of 75 cameras near penguin territories in Antarctica and its surrounding islands to figure out what’s happening with local populations. But with each of those cameras taking hourly photos, they simply can’t get through all the adorable images without your help.

“We can’t do this work on our own,” lead researcher Tom Hart from the University of Oxford told the BBC, “and every penguin that people click on and count on the website - that’s all information that tells us what’s happening at each nest, and what’s happening over time.”

The citizen science project is pretty simple - known as PenguinWatch 2.0, all you need to do is log on, look at photos, and identify adult penguins, chicks, and eggs in each image. Each photo requires just a few clicks to identify, and you can chat about your results in the website’s ‘Discuss’ page with other volunteers.

So I’ll open my home and my heart to more rescue animals. 

Or I’ll travel. I’ll learn another language. I’ll start a business or I’ll give my free time to a charity who are doing some good. 

I’ll open the adult education catalogue from the local college, throw it in the air and sign up for whatever page it lands on.

What I won’t do is treat the creation of an actual human life as some kind of pastime.

Children shouldn’t be brought into being to occupy someone else’s time. They’re not an amusement. They’re people. They’re not yours to summon into the world because you’re stumped for ideas to make your life have some meaning. 

like.  i’m not saying jurassic park movies are the PINNACLE of accuracy but what if they weren’t like that when they were alive

i mean think about it……predators big enough to eat people that exist today (sharks, lions, etc.) don’t.  actually.  theyre actually pretty chill, unless theyre hungry, and even then they would prefer their natural prey over humans.  just bc they have the capacity to tear a human apart, they usually dont

and cheep in annoyance every time the car starts moving again because they had just gotten COMFORTABLE
