Reach for the sky! Thresher sharks have been reported for their flying leaps out of the water, but that behavior is rarely captured. It's also a treat to see the shark's iridescence so clearly beneath the sunlight. I hope that remora enjoyed its unscheduled flight! Found via @ah360views on Instagram.

Happy new year everybody! ✨🙏 Did you set your 2020 reading challenge? I’ve read 41 books of my goal of 20, it was such a great year speaking of readings. For this year I’ll try to reach 40 books or more, in particular non-fiction and classics. I can’t wait to dive into new inspiring reads, and posting nicer content. I’ve got a gorgeous planner and a new sketchbook + a liner 0.3 as Christmas gift; I’d like to fill this one with architecture - classical sculptures I used to draw when I was at university.

Favourite study spot on campus. Nothing beats studying by natural light with a view of the water.

the only reason why i managed to push through a day-long revision of quantum physics is because i know this will be over very soon 🌟 ib physics HL has given me multiple meltdowns despite being one of my favorite subjects, so i’m pretty excited for the holidays!

for everyone else taking the november IB exams, you’ve got this!

#funfact: we don’t have dorms in italy, so students usually rent a house together.

I was sooooo lucky to find this room last year, and I can’t believe that in two months from now I’ll have to leave it due to my graduation. I’m already feeling nostalgic.

studyblrsophie

I spent my entire school career afraid of being wrong because I was taught that to make a mistake was embarrassing. Now I’ve discovered that making a mistake just means you are one step closer to the right answer, and everyday I have to work to shake the mindset that a single wrong answer equals failure.

paper-mario-wiki

all those myths and legends you hear about uni professors being patient and understanding regarding human plight are true.

paper-mario-wiki

i was literally just feeling bad today and she totally gets it.

sandersstudies

I once had a one-day hospital stay and confessed to my professor that I felt like I’d lost a whole week to exhaustion, and asked whether I could have an extension on my paper: she asked how long I wanted, and when I left it to her, she gave me five days “to give you back the week you lost.”

wishful-thinkment

I once had a professor give me an extension that went all the way up to the day she had to submit my grades to the university all because I told her I was struggling

spookyfbi

I think what a lot of people forget about uni/college is that YOU are paying to be there, and that gives you a lot more control over the whole situation than you think. Particularly if you’ve come directly from school and you still have the mentality that these people are adults who are supposed to tell you what to do because you’re a child. Most uni professors think of you as fellow adults who are paying for a specialised service from them, and will want to treat you accordingly (though they usually do keep in mind that many of you are very new to adulting and may need more guidance than more experienced adults)

booksrockmyface

Also want to add: they cannot help if you don’t ask. If you just don’t do your assignments or show up without speaking to them, you will fail. If you are having a tough time, find the professor you trust the most (or your advisor) and ask them to help you find solutions to your problems.

kaijutegu

they cannot help if you don’t ask

One of my students contacted me recently about turning in her final paper- she wanted to know how late she could turn it in, because she was sick and couldn’t make it to campus. She’d turned in the online copy already, and because I knew she couldn’t make it in, I just printed it for her. Problem solved, no points missing for being late. I couldn’t have done that if she didn’t ask! Yes, some profs are jerks- but many are not. Lots of us just want to help.

Sperm whale mimics a spinning diver.

Human: … Spin?

Earth’s largest carnivore, with a brain that weighs almost as much as this naked beach ape*: SPIN!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SPERM WHALES ARE CARNIVORES

I THOUGHT THEY ATE KRILL AND STUFF LIKE OTHER WHALES

gallusrostromegalus

Nope! Sperm whales eat extremely large deep-sea squids, like the Giant and Colossal Squids. They have also been known to opportunistically eat dead whales, sharks, and seals, but not actively hunt them. They got real big teeth for it too:

However, they only have teeth on thier bottom jaw! they have corresponding holes in their top jaw for the teeth to lock into, which makes hanging onto a slippery, boneless squid:

It should be noted that the human here isn’t in particular danger of being eaten on purpose, but an accidental swing of it’s multi-ton head, a clip from the teeth, or being directly in the line of it’s sonar could seriously injure or kill them- Divers that have been in the direct line of echolocation for a sperm whale calf have described being hit with the soundwave like “being kicked by a horse” and some have suffered internal organ damage. Sperm whales, like other large whales, aren’t particularly aggressive towards humans, but they are still very large wild animals who behave in unpredictable ways.

I know that in US waters, it’s illegal to intentionally come within 300 yards of any whale or dolphin, and if one appears closer you should turn off your engine or stop paddling to avoid accidental injury to you or it. This human is doing something dangerous and ill-advised, but it’s still hopeful that we can love something like a 130,000 lb deep-diving, squid-eating Oceanic former ungulate.

extremelyloudgamerkeyboard

Im.sorry I’ve lived my entire life not realizing that echolocation could possibly be felt and I have to come to terms with the fact that whales have sonic attacks

Little fact about French because I just learned that

The accent circonflexe (^) exists in French words to replace the “s” that no longer exists but used to be there in older French.

For example: fenêtre used to be fenestre

It is still possible to see the “s” at times in family words like “défenestrer”.

culmaer

knowing this, « être » becomes much more regular :

être → estre (es, est, sommes, ê[s]tes, sont ; ser-)

some French derivations become clearer :

fenêtre → défenestrer → L. fenestra

fête → festival

hôpital → hospitaliser (E. hospital, ise)

intérêt → intéressant (E. interest, -ing)

ancêtre → ancestral (E. ancestor, -ral)

arrêt → arrestation

épître → épistolaire (E. epistle)

some English cognates become more obvious :

hôtel → hostel (E. ‘hotel’ borrowed from French)

forêt → forest (tipp to remember ^ goes on the ‹e›)

bête → beast

côte → coast

honnête → honest

pâte, pâté → pasta, paste

quête → quest

enquête → inquest

tempête → tempest

vêtements → vestments (ie. clothes)

baptême → baptism

sometimes, the acute replaces the circumfex for phonetic reasons :

ḗcole → escole → L. schola (E. school)

ḗtranger → estrangier (E. stranger)

ḗtudier → estudier (E. study)

dḗgoûtant → desgoustant (E. disgusting)

dḗbarquer → desembarquer (E. disembark)

rḗpondre → respondre (E. respond)

rḗpublique → L. res publica

Also, where « c → ch » (eg. cantare→ chanter) :

château → castel (E. castle)

pêcher → L. piscare

and « w → gu » (eg. war→ guerre ; warden→ guardian) :

guêpe → E. wasp ! (this is my n° 1 favourite cognate)

bonus etymologies :

tête → L. testa

fantôme → L. phantasma (E. ‘phantom’ borrowed from French)

Pâques → Gk. pásxa → Am. pésaḫ (E. Paschal)

Also just be aware that the circumflex has some other uses too, like distinguishing « sur — sûr » or « dû » and the vowel quality in « âge »

hayley-studies

Where was this post when I was doing A-Level French! This is actually a really interesting language change called “syncope” (the loss of a medial segment within a word) and what makes it even more interesting to me is that not only was the -s- dropped post vocalically and largely before voiceless stops, but that the circumflex was (unnecessarily but coolly) adopted as an orthographic marker of the lost -s-. Even more interesting is that syncope usually occurs in vowels. I love this.
