Digital art of an anthropomorphic green heron man and an anthropomorphic toucan man out on a fishing trip, the heron carrying a fishing pole and the toucan carrying a fishing cooler. They are walking on a cliffside path with white flowers near the ocean, towards a striped red and white lighthouse on a bright and sunny day.

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks Maria Loconsole1*, Silvia Benavides-Varela2,3, Lucia Regolin1 Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords “kiki” and “bouba” with spiky and round shapes, respectively, a phenomenon named the bouba-kiki effect. To explore the origin of this association, and whether it is unique to humans, we tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby domestic chickens (Gallus gallus). as a precocial species, chicks can be tested shortly after hatching, allowing us to control their pretest experiences. Similar to humans, both 3-day-old [experiment 1 (exp. 1)] and 1-day-old (exp. 2) chicks spontaneously choose a spiky shape when hearing the “kiki” sound and a round shape when hearing the “bouba” sound. results from naïve young animals suggest a predisposed mechanism for matching the dimensions of shape and sound, which may be widespread across species.

main fig from the paper showing the association between bouba/round and kiki/spiky in newborn chicks

the new paper on bouba/kiki in chicks is utterly compelling

canonical, elegant method from comparative cogsci & its partner in developmental science, ultra-simple design, ultra-clear effects, no need for fancy analyses, machine learning, or AI

it appeared in an appropriately badass venue (Science)

Please enjoy this snippet of a little doodle I made while winding down from comms

⛰️山海経30: 鳳皇。鳳凰は孔雀＋雉型で描かれることが多いのに、山海経では「鶏に似ている」と記述されていて面白い。にわとり、ありがたき生き物。
🌊Shanhai jing 30: Feng-huang. A chicken-like phoenix of the five blessing colors. Interestingly the book says they look like a chicken while they’re usually drawn like a peacock or a pheasant.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Brother Bostrichid was known far and wide for his expertly crafted wooden furniture. unfortunately he also had a bad habit of eating it.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Genuinely looking forward to this movie. When I first saw the trailer it wasn't for me, but I've warmed up to it. Gotta love all the cool species given rep here, furries eating good with this one.

Without justice there is no coming back from this. Every person who has in any way facilitated this lawless administration- from the soldiers murdering civilians on boats, to ICE detention guards, to every official- must end up in jail and utterly irredeemably disgraced.

A black and white poster of Mews, a tuxedo cat anthro. The top of the poster has Mews poking his head out of a TV, with the subheading of Breaking Mews floating above it. Below this is "Introducing Mewscast" with the Mewscast logo (a speech bubble with eyes and a nose, and whiskers, which mimics Mews' face marking). Next to this is some text stating 7AM PST and KAS-TV. Below this is three fake screen caps of him presenting current affairs and the weather. The third one is a close up of Mews face, with static in his eyes. Below this is a simple drawing of a mouse, with the text "Start your day the Signal Hill way" and the copyright info
