Yeah, I'm Spreading This One Around, Too.

Aw, who's a cutie spider? Who's the very best spider? YOU are! Yes, YOU are! *Skritch skritch skritch*

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.

I already knew that they were older than trees, but...

This is it, right here.

I feel like the psyops are back…

As a boy, I'd enjoy learning all about animals As a child, I was wild for the fish in the sea And without any doubt you stood out as the champion And I knew it was true where I wanted to be

When they said you were dead they were showing their ignorance You're renowned, you're profound, you're alive and you're strong In my mind you're sublime, and I think that the world should know I attest you're the best so I made you a song

Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth There is no better than, I will take all I can Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth

Missing link's out of sync with the crazy world of today You were gone for so long, didn't know what to do Is it wrong there's a song that is called Barracuda? There is none, not a one, that is named after you—after you!

Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth There is no better than, I will take all I can Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth

Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth Coelacanth, coelacanth, coelacanth There is no better than, I will take coelacanth Coelacanth

--The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, "Coelocanthem"

reblog ifyou love her and she makes you smile the coelacanth

YES THAT WORD RIGHT THERE

I'll take what I can get in this crazy world...

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

THAT’S how low the threshold is!?

do you own enough books to be considered a library (500+)

Yes.

I mean, yes.

pretty much all anti-zoo sentiment is based on a gut reaction and nothing else. animals do not have concepts like “prisons.” animals desire to be well-fed, hydrated, healthy, safe and enriched, and this is what good zoos provide for them. animals living in well-managed zoo habitats have a higher quality of life than their wild counterparts, free of predation, starvation, exposure and parasites, and have a much higher chance of survival when they get sick. and that’s what animals desire. they’re not sitting around thinking, “well this is good and all, but i’d rather trade my health for a nebulous concept like freedom. i want to go die of mange in the wilderness.”

good zoos are also more ethical by FAR than placing exotics like wildcats or highly intelligent birds in private keepers’ homes, but strangely a lot of folks who hate zoos have no qualms with that.

Objectively true!
