not to start a controversy on the TL but puffins are fuckin great
Look at this shit. Carrying several fish at a time in their mouth because they've got a fancy hinged beak that makes it so they can. Bringing those fish HOME for EVERYONE to enjoy. That's how a puffin does it babey
This is me if I somehow fuck up the angle when I'm parallel parking

Wanna know what a baby puffin is called?

I'll tell u
It's called. A puffling
Puffins are extremely social so a scientists got puffins to repopulate certain areas by just. Putting fake puffins there. And it fucking worked. The puffins were like "o shit that guy loOKS LIKE ME THIS PLACE RULES"

also sometimes they try to fight and/or mate with the decoys
This feels very Turk and JD on the basketball court

Literally indistinguishable from a puffin mirroring a decoy puffin in a show of support and camaraderie
Also listen I've been focusing a lot on Common/Atlantic Puffins and Horned Puffins but what about the Crested Puffin? Look at this shit, look how slick she is, how polished, she's ready for the met gala, those clean lines. [chef kiss] eleganza
...ok listen sometimes u fall asleep with ur makeup on and ur hair gel in and we shouldn't judge the Pufted Tuffin for that,,
Also here's some Puffin Courtship, these two are billing! That's where they rub their beaks together because they're in Puffin Love. Why do they do it? Fuck if I know but I support them
When a puffin gets upset he fluffs up his feathers and opens his beak REAL BIG

>:[ him mAD
also these absolute doofuses are WATER GENIUSES!! They spread their wings underwater and they steer with their feeps, and they can dive up to 60 meters! WHERE IS THIS MAJESTY WHEN THEY ARE ON LAND??
puffins fuckin love raves what can i say

anyone who says puffins aren't rad as hell can meet me in the parking lot for a fish fight, whoever can fit the most fish in their beak wins, call my bluff u cowards

Starting a neverending thread to catalogue types of anxiety because we all live on this hell-sphere together
Anxiety type 1: someone says "we've had our ups and downs" and you suddenly remember all the Downs and are aware that they, too, remember all the Downs
Anxiety type 2: someone says "we've had our ups and downs" and you can't recall a SINGLE ONE of the Downs but apparently they DO

I gotta say: the second you dismiss someone's discussion of their problems and/or trauma as "whining" is the moment when you identify yourself as someone who cannot be relied upon to help in any way. That includes mentorship, advice, and guidance.
If you don't believe that a problem is actually a problem just because it belongs to someone else, or because you can't be bothered to try to understand it, then you will never be part of the process of solving that problem.
This is a huge fucking bummer. I so often see people with real and deep life experiences, people who could be mentors & coaches & comrades & friends, dismissing the trauma of others as invalid on the basis that it doesn't seem *that bad* to them.

This morning @ryandroyd turned to me and said the three words I've been waiting so long to hear:

"Wanna watch RoboCop?"
@ryandroyd Wow there is a LOT of acting happening in RoboCop

Also Murphy is a very skinny man with a pretty mouth and he is 0% robot at this time, which seems like it will last for a while
@ryandroyd A thing that is good and cool is when a corporation is in charge of the police and also no strikes are allowed. Seems fine

Look at this fascinating insect that I discovered at a friend's house today:
This bug reminds me of why the internet serves as such an excellent resource!

I took out my @SamsungMobile Galaxy, opened my #GoogleAssistant, and said, "orange and black insects in eastern North Carolina."
VOILA!

My Assistant immediately referred me to a page maintained by @NCSU_PDIC, the NC State University's Plant Disease and Insect Clinic:

fuckin' this, folks.

and I mean you KNOW I am here for fanfic, now and always, but that is NOT what this nomination is about! do you know how advanced an archival system ao3 is? the ways its indexing and DB structure improve discoverability for MILLIONS of readers?
I know librarians who'd kill for that kind of tech! and this is glued together from cloudsourced specs while training their OWN coders on the way.

and - this is not wordpress, people, they OWN THE SERVERS. they fund and pay wages for sysadmining! there's rackspace!
no, okay, look, listen, look:

this is my job. I do it for a living. it is the only way I could go to cons, could take time to write.

I only, only, ONLY ever took a programming class because Ao3 existed and showed me it could be done.

Time for our occasional series 'Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!' And today I present a brief history of the rise and fall and rise again of the gothic romance novel...
New readers start here: what is a gothic romance? Well it's a romance story with strong supernatural themes, all tied to an atmospheric and foreboding building which our heroine must flee.

Actually it's a lot more complex than that...
Firstly it has a long pedigree. Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764) is usually acknowledged as the first gothic romance; set during the Crusades it follows Lord Manfred's fateful decision to divorce his wife and pursue his dead son's bride-to-be Isabella.

#OSHO

#Love can never be #satisfied. If it is satisfied, it is not much of a love. The #greater and #deeper it is, the more #dissatisfaction there will be. It simply shows the vastness, that it will never be satisfied. The moment it is satisfied, it is dead.
#Satisfaction is not a great #quality. It belongs to the little #minds, to the little #hearts.

There are people who are satisfied with a little #money, with a #house, with a little #name, a little #fame, these are #pygmies.
#Giants are never #satisfied. On every new step, they find the #journey is becoming #deeper, more #miraculous, more #mysterious. The #longing is #growing and the heart is full of a sweet #ache.

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
