yoooo guys these wings my dad made look INSANE i can’t wait to try them tomorrow

i don’t think you understand i totally thought we were gonna die locked up in this castle but this fucking genius was like “im going to invent a way for humans to fly”. shout out to my dad he’s a real one fr

LMAOOO this dude told me to be careful as he affixed the wings to my back…..dad no offense but you just invented flying and we have to go high enough to avoid the king’s archers. soo

HOOOOLY SHIT YOU GUYS I AM SO AFRAID. THE GROUND IS SO FAR. HOW DO BIRDS DO THIS. OH MY GODS OH MY GODS OH MY GODS

it’s so beautiful up here

i don’t like seeing the ground. i’m going higher

it’s cold and i can’t see anything. not sure if that’s better or worse

by zeus….what is that thing…….it’s as bright as the sun and twice as warm

the gods look truly down on me this day…apollo calls to me from his chariot of fire. a mere mortal. he must think my flight such a wondrous feat

i don’t understand why but he’s coming closer. he is not supposed to stray from his path, lest the sun fall from the sky. why does he look so anguished to see me?

oh. i am in his path

it’s so hot…was it this hard to fly before? maybe i’m tired

the wax

he really does look like the sun…the light emanates from his fingers, his hair, his skin. he means to catch me. i reach for him

his skin burns. i cannot hold on

i slip through his fingers.

it takes a really long time to fall from the sky. longer than i thought

i wonder if he cried for me

i pray to him just in case. i am grateful he tried. my palms are red and cracked from where they touched divinity. the ground does not look any closer than it was

i have not seen my father since we took flight…i hope he escaped. i hope he will not witness this. i wish i could tell him how joyful these wings made me before the wax melted

i do not regret it. i have seen with my own eyes what others will only dream of

i am not afraid

i am not afraid i am not afraid i am not afraid i am not afraid i am afraid i am afraid i am afraid

please please please please please pleaseplease

the gods will not save me. i suppose this is a lesson in hubris. i am forever a flightless thing

please please please i have no coin for the ferryman if i am to die now i will never reach the realm of hades please turn me into a bird any bird or a bug or something anything please please pleasepleaseplease

I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM N

I'm 1000% not gatekeeping but if you found Mili through Project Moon or whatever else they've made music in the last few years for I'd highly recommend listening to their other albums like Miracle Milk and Mag Mell, not because I think you're a fake fan/larping I just think their older music is amazing and needs to be heard by as a many people as possible

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

i need all the help i can get for finals

I could use some luck

You are perma tf'd into the first pokemon you generate on this website, how happy are you wit your new form

one of my patients came in for an emergency visit, because she snapped the wire on her retainer watching the movie when MBJ took his shirt off she clenched her teeth so fucking hard she snapped it. that is the fucking funniest shit ever to me this tiny 17 year old girl thirsting so goddamn hard she busted steel

We interviewed her, obviously.

Such a developing story.

I love this story

This was a wild ride from start to finish

I know I say this a lot, But this is one of the best things on this website

Sophia is currently doing great in college, and I still get about one kid a month in the office who asked if this really happened.

I found it!! The original post!!

HAS SHE SEEN SINNERS

Preferably when she wasn’t wearing the retainer.

yall joke but this is actually a serious conundrun with cladistic-based classification

What if Bird and reptiles are two different things that came from the same thing

But don’t turtles and alligators have more in common with modern reptiles than modern birds have in common with modern reptiles? I’m not trying to contradict, I’m trying to understand. Mammals and reptiles have a common ancestor as well, but we do not make them the same group.

don’t throw reptiles against the wall? please? some of them are small and delicate. you could hurt them.

IIRC the fish thing is so frustrating that scientists have decided fish is just not real cladistic grouping at all

hey could we go back please to the bit where the closest relative of Birds is Crocodiles? bc I am alarmed

This entire post sums up everything we’re not allowed to mention in our Vertebrata classes because the last time someone started that argument they had to break up a fistfight.

*runs in ten minutes late with a plucked chicken* BEHOLD A LIZARD

you could have left the feathers on this time tbh

It was already plucked. They just STOLE IT from philosophy 101.

Every turn on this post has been a left, but somehow it hasn’t hit itself, and instead just spiralled outwards like some Ancient Greco-Roman floor design, enveloping taxonomy Tumblr in chaos.

Now I have a question, what’s wrong woth birds being reptiles? Have you seem a bird without feathers…they actually do look kind of reptilian right? Is there something that keeping us from calling them reptiles apart from maybe that they don’t give reptiles vibes on account of the fluffy

Yeah, it’s mainly just a vibes thing. But yeah. Chickens got scales on their feet and everything. Reptillian

I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

I use a toaster oven way more than I ever use a stove? So by your definition, a toaster oven is essential and a stove is nonessential? I use both a toaster oven and a rice cooker almost every day and a stove about once every two weeks. Why is a stove essential and those things nonessential?

I'd also add that, while this is not true of me as I'm an electric kettle type of person, coffee makers are used WAY more often than any other electronic in a kitchen except perhaps a fridge by so, so many people. There are people who use coffee makers three or four times a day (my heart condition weeps).

With only 2 people an airfryer is a way more efficient method of cooking than an oven. We use it 5-10 times a week, but only use the oven maybe 3 -4 times a month. (We do use the stove top almost daily but that's because we both like cooking. It wouldn't surprise me if someone told me they never used their stove in favor of a toaster or airfryer.)
