Baculum hypothesis. Humans don't have one because we evolved feet really good at kicking each other in the nuts and having a bone to break there was maladaptive.

I made my drawing arm pain flare up getting carried away playing WOW (... Tanking involves a lot of clicks...) and I'm terrible at restraining myself so I've resorted to wearing a sock over my hand and bracing it to hopefully rest it 😔

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

yeah, this.
I'm like, "yeah, good enough" and leave it at that.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Love is such a funny thing. A special one though. Isn't it nice when it starts to get comfortable too? Doesn't that jewel have so many facets? Isn't it wonderful to go from strangers to something so much better?
I've been so lucky in certain matters of the heart.

Had a big surge of energy in the new place and was a lot less bothered than I thought I would be the first week... Did stuff! Good stuff! This week though I'm. Really tired, trying to ignore brainworms. I might have overdone it with peopling and/or it's throwing me off badly that Bek isn't here yet

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

Several years ago while working in Madagascar I came across these small floating plants. I sketched them and the Malagasy name was Ramilamina. When I got back home I learned the English name is Azolla and are actually ferns. They fix nitrogen, can double in mass in two days, and caused an ice age.
