Invisible Pretty Birdies Singing in the Dark

where the fuck did you get that

I feel like taking a UV light to the Mesozoic would be very educational.

My favourite commentary on this so far was "can museum curators go and throw a blacklight rave in the bird collection to see how many of the others do this?" 🤣

Worth noting that the authors have confirmed that the fluorescence is within the range of cassowary visibility, which is a bit of the puzzle that often gets missed in viral stories like this. Really neat work!

I think my favorite thing about this is that the cat's so comfortable with it. Pyaari is alert and possibly a little confused, but perfectly chill with everything going on here up to and including sticking things on her face.

so eva stratt really looked grace dead in the eye and sang, “welcome to the final show / hope you’re wearing your best clothes” before proceeding to pack up his silly science pun shirts and his favorite sweater for a suicide mission he didn’t want to go on, huh?

#not her fault he didn’t have any better clothes for her to pack 🙄

unpopular opinion: Vimes is kind of drama queen

Sam “held a burning hot coal until it nearly took the skin off his hand while maintaining perfect calm and eye contact with the asshole in need of intimidation Just Because” Vimes? Sam “sitting on the stoop with a mug of cocoa and a cigar, cautiously aware of every inch of the scene he’s building” Vimes? Sam “could just tear his sleeve to show the mark of the Summoning Dark but instead tears off his whole goddamn shirt” Vimes? A drama queen? Reaching a bit don’t you think

Yep, certainly doesn’t seem to describe Sam “pretends to eat poison as a power move” Vimes. Not Sam “buries an axe in the table in the Rats Chamber” Vimes.

I mean are we really talking about Sam “yes a whole room full of candles with wicks dipped in holy water is the best way to beat this vampire” Vimes, here? Sam “has fought bad guys on top of a speeding train AND a riverboat during a flood” Vimes, really? Definitely Sam “nearly gets shot in the head by a crossbow bolt that shatters his shaving mirror and then uses the bolt to prop up a shard of said mirror to finish shaving” Vimes we’re discussing here?

☹️💔
