Last week on #RunawaytotheStars: Talita and Gillie both grew up in a world wildly unprepared for their existence.

Gillie is surprised by the transcription on her phone, and looks up confused. Idrisah stares at Talita, coming to a sudden realization. Idrisah: …You have species dysmorphia! Talita hunches with a hand on the floor, other hand tightly gripping her arm. She says nothing, her eyes tracing the ceiling of the apartment that's half a meter too low for her to stand up in, full of furniture too small for her body. Idrisah: That’s… pretty common in cross-species adoption cases, isn’t it? Why didn’t you say anything? Talita scowls and looks away, face bristling. Talita: Because it’s stupid and humiliating and has no solution. Gillie: (ASL) Dysmorphia? Do you want to be a human? Talita: That’s—not… Uh. Well...  Talita: I’ve spent my whole life adapting to fit into spaces that weren’t built for me.  Draft plans for human scale buildings appear in white lines floating in a black void behind her head. Talita: It’s hard to think about my body as something other than… A problem. The apartment dimensions appear in sketchy white lines, surrounding Talita's huge, hunched figure like a tiny box. Talita: I prefer it when it’s only my problem. But… In this case, I guess there’s no way to make it NOT your problem. Gillie looks up from her phone transcript to Talita's face, pensive. Gillie: (ASL) Talita… How do you think I feel, asking you to sign for me? My body’s been a “problem” since birth. My off-model nerves are very risky to cut into for audio implants, so I’ve always had external “solutions” pushed on me instead. Inoperably deaf kids are scarce in Jovia, so it was easier for the school system to stick a gadget on me than put me in a class with other signers. The AR glasses gave me migraines and the sign-to-speech function was slow and inaccurate. Talking to other kids was a chore. Insert panel: Gillie as a child talks to a fellow student. She is wearing a pair of large clunky glasses that have a fabric loop over the arms to hang off of her ears. She is signing, and the glasses slowly translate the signs into English audio: "HI—MY—NAME—IS GILLIE." Her classmate responds, confused, with "Why are you waving your hands?" Gillie: (ASL) Nowadays, I’m a lot less shy… But there’s still the lonely kid in me, who grew up feeling like my existence is a big inconvenience for everyone else. Insert panel: Kid Gillie sits dejected and alone at her desk while her classmates socialize with oral language in the foreground.

Drones are booting up from their long slumber! 🐝 The team has spent many slime moons tinkering with drones and we're happy to report they'll be making a triumphant return in our next major update. More details dropping later this month. 😉

We’ve looked at snails with one shell and slugs with no shells. Now let’s have a look at a snail with two shells, because Nature laughs at our puny attempts to pigeonhole.

In today’s #AtoZ – J is for Julia (Juliidae) (1/9)

Small, perky snail with head poking out between its two shells. The snail has a pair of long, tubular tentacles. The shells are like clam shells, except they are vivid green. The hinge is at the top.

The shell and snail are both very bright green. The snail has white blotches on its back.

a new year means you can turn a new leaf, probably. happy lunar new year! 🧧🐍 #fcart #teamfortress2
a comic of spy appearing to try to make amends with pyro, who isn't as open to it. to have them trust him, he shows them the watersnake (specifically from from the snakewater map.) pyro loves it, until it lunges at them, revealing that it was only a ploy by spy to one-up them.

This week on RttS: Talita has some piracy-unrelated moral reservations, oops Idrisah is home now, OOPS SHE'S VERY MAD

Gillie: (ASL) The avian trawling company never bothered to tell Jovian authorities the ship was destroyed! Bip: And since Ixion bought bulk scrap, not the ship's registration papers, they don't legally own it. Gillie: (ASL) With a legit SIMS ID, getting customs and duties for wormhole passage would be as easy as declaring it active again! It would all be technically legal! Talita: Ok, that's... great. But. The Runaway isn't a SHIP. It's a SHIPWRECK. Bip: A shipwreck surrounded by salvage! Talita: Salvage that’s been rotting in abrasive regolith dust! Listen, I… I don’t feel comfortable letting you make repairs with broken equipment… Even if the papers work out, it could end… badly. Bip: Doesn’t Ixion have some in-house manufacturing? Talita: I’m in charge of the junkyard, not internal mechanics. I’m pretty sure Tod would notice me using our shop to make spacecraft bits. Gillie: (ASL) Yeah, also… Even if Ixion doesn’t own the Runaway… Talita hears approaching footsteps in the hall and begins to visibly panic, but Gillie isn't watching her. Gillie: (ASL) They DO own all the materials you’d need to repair it. Talita: Uh— Bip: Details, details! Idrisah unlocks the front door with a beep and enters the apartment, holding a large bag of zucchinis and looking at it with a troubled expression. She flicks the lights on and off. Idrisah: (ASL) Gillie, the farmers got me on the way home again. Could you stand another loaf of zucchini bread, or— She looks up and is confused to see Talita is in the room, cringing guiltily. Gillie reaches over surreptitiously and presses a button to retract the scroll monitor that's displaying Bip's avatar. Idrisah's look of surprise transforms into a glare. She storms over angrily and yanks the monitor screen back down. Idrisah: YOU! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! Bip: I’m not in your house, this is just a weirdly formatted video call–

Unlike ducks and other waterfowl, coots have lobed feet instead of webbed feet! This lets them swim efficiently in water but also walk and run easier on land! It's convergent evolution, baby! www.audubon.org/news/better-...
Better Know a Bird: The American Coot and Its Wonderfully Weird Feet
The odd-looking foot is perfectly built for getting around on land or water. It's not bad for a little wrestling, either.
