Oh that’s the depth it was at not the length of the squid

I don’t think it’s spectacularly larger

Lmao not quite I think closer to a meter

Whuff that’s a GOOD squid

One of the ways I find enjoyment in these bleak-ass times is replying with the silly emotions I feel in my heart via email.

Customer service helped me solve a problem? In my heart I think "hot dog!" So I'm gonna reply "Hot dog! Thanks, Christine!". She's earned that hot dog. She should get it.

Long long ago I was hanging out with a girl who would often say "We're all just dogs wearing sweaters" as if that was a common saying. She had made it up, but we all know what that means I think. Now I, too, say it as if it's a known idiomatic phrase. And now it is.

6 bad doodles with text under each one. horseshoe crab is literally the animal horseshoe crab. shoehorse crab is a crab riding a shoe, cowboy style. crabshoe horse is a horse wearing literal crabs as shoes. shoecrab horse is a horse telling a crab to go away. crabhorse shoe is a pair of shoes, left one crab shaped, right one horse shaped. horsecrab shoe is literally the same pair of shoes, flipped.

I am! A beginners guide to appreciating and supporting urban/suburban biodiversity

Open to sharing the manuscript? No

Nonfiction, pop sci

This is a controversial opinion among the science crowd, I realize, but why do we seem to have no trouble believing art has that capacity to move people, change minds, etc, but we rarely if ever ask them to provide a p value for their impact? Why do we only demand this of science communicators?

This thread seems to consider the only good science communicators scientists who work in the lab rn, or people whose faces you never see because they’re “behind the scenes.

Actually try changing the behavior of a non scientist population and get back to me when you succeed, chucklefucks.

Oh JFC

I started writing about light pollution and really went off.

4,112 words for today, eat shit book goblin tormentor, I am going to go soak in a tub like the swamp monster I am.

Manuscript broke 30k words tonight, we are officially getting there.

I honestly just assumed this was the post you replied with cocaine shrimp to in the first place lmao

You nailed it

lmao

It has to be a little good 😅
well maybe not yet but eventually it has to be good

1) I'll take bridge! I was going for wildlife crossing but a pedestrian bridge would work
2) Cats
3) Rain gardens

lmfao on 1 and 2, but 3 is correct! (rain barrels or rain gardens are acceptable for 3)

lmao on on all counts but good guesses

you're right on 2 and 3!

1) Wildlife crossings!
2) cats! (but damn good guess on greenhouse gasses)
3) Bioswales is correct!

wrong on all 3! try again!

VERY close!
Wildlife crossings, cats, and rain gardens (to slow water entering storm drains)

OOH close, yes wildlife crossings for 1, cats for 2, rain gardens for 3

Correct on the latter 2

Number one makes no sense until you hear the answer probably, but this is a book goblin, not a pub quiz so that's acceptable

Why hasn't anyone answered my book goblin's riddles. Come on people, entertain me with your guesses.

heeheehee, my book goblin says

Answer me these riddles 3 & I might grant a BATH to thee

What crosses swamps & meadows too, so none a car be flecked with goo

What must we house & leave to chill, for let them loose & they will kill

The rains will come upon thy city, install these to keep it pretty
