Generations on Tumblr

Fantasy concept: a world in which dinosaurs survived and coexist with humans, but only some of the smaller ones 

they’re mostly harmless to people (although some of the more predatory ones might occasionally eat a small pet) so people feed them and keep them as pets 

Some of them are smarter than dogs and cats and can use simple tools 

People tend to underestimate the commitment it takes to have a pet dinosaur 

In cities you sometimes find them scavenging roadkill and eating out of dumpsters 

Dinosaur meat is very much a thing, you can get dinosaur nuggets at the grocery store made with actual dinosaur 

There are also some traditions that use them as working animals for hunting, kinda like hunting dogs

There are a lot of dinosaur enthusiasts who go looking for dinosaurs and keep track of the species they’ve seen as a hobby 

Anybody living somewhere other than a big city probably wakes up to dinosaur calls in the morning 

In temperate areas you get big migrations with the changing seasons, a draw for the dinosaur enthusiasts 

Like any other wildlife, at least some species can be a nuisance, people might like seeing dinosaurs roaming around their suburban neighborhood until they start pooping on everything and nesting in the garage 

But they help keep the descendants of those giant Carboniferous bugs from getting out of hand 

Lol

Guess I got a little too into entomology

Vote for Oakie: SUNY Mascot Madness

Remember when I asked if people would vote in a tournament poll hosted somewhere other than this hellsite? Well, the final round begins now!

If you would vote for them it would mean a lot to me :)

FYI: the rules allow you to vote every 12 hours, so if you already voted you can do so again tomorrow!

This is a little drawing I did in order to stick it to my laptop because I don’t have enough stickers as many stickers as I want :)

After I stuck it to my laptop, it tore, so I decided to fix it and make it look intentional. It’s a Shade from Hollow Knight- I love these funky little blobs of void

Thank you @printerpenguin for voting for Oakie :)

This describes the Hollow Knight.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

I feel it would be helpful to share this article I found by @urbancripple regarding the correct usage of the accessible stall in a public restroom; if you don’t need the accessible stall, you shouldn’t use it, even if the others are all full. As an able-bodied person, I am ashamed to not have been aware of this, and I wanted to spread the message.

If the Accessible Stall is the Only One Available, Should I Use It?

I’m abled, and I was always taught that if the other stalls are free, to use those, but if there’s a long line to help it move faster by usi

The author has answered other questions regarding needing accessible restrooms and further clarified that the need for the accessible stall or accessible restroom doesn’t have to be because of a mobility issue, but it does have to be a need rather than a matter of convenience. Here are links to the other questions and answers about this:

Using the accessible stall to avoid an accident

When the only gender-neutral restroom is the accessible one

Using the accessible restroom for sensory sensitivity

Just one stall in the men’s room

Do Bug Zappers Work? Yeah—About As Well As Any Other Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter.

Bug zappers kill bugs by the thousands. But there’s a problem: They kill the wrong bugs. They are ineffective against mosquitoes and other biting flies, and their otherwise indiscriminate killing can disrupt pollination and generally throw the environment out of balance. Plus, the force of their electrocution can spew a mist of disease-ridden bug parts out into the air. All of the mosquito experts we spoke with and every relevant university extension office we could find unanimously condemned bug zappers. To keep an area free of bugs or to prevent yourself from getting bitten, there are much better alternatives.
