Do you ever sit down to write just for yourself, knowing that nobody else will read it, so you’re completely honest and you admit things to yourself in ways that you never have before, in clear language without trying to sugar coat things or skirt around the subject?

It’s liberating but it’s also heartbreaking so just…be careful if you decide to do it.

“

I froze.

It was not guilt that froze me. I had taught myself never to feel guilt

It was not a ghastly sense of loss that froze me. I had taught myself to covet nothing.

It was not a loathing of death that froze me. I had taught myself to think of death as a friend.

It was not heartbroken rage against injustice that froze me. I had taught myself that a human being might as well took for diamond tiaras in the gutter as for rewards and punishments that were fair.

It was not the thought that I was so unloved that froze me. I had taught myself to do without love.

It was not the thought that God was cruel that froze me. I had taught myself never to expect anything from Him.

What froze me was the fact that I had absolutely no reason to move in any direction. What made me move through so many dead and pointless years was curiosity.

dailyfossil:

Cynognathus

When: Early to Middle Triassic (247 - 237 million years ago)

Where: Frolicking over Gondwana (an ancient super continent) Fossils have been documented on South Africa, South America, and Antarctica.

What: Cynognathus is a cynodont. Historically these taxa were called ‘mammal-like-reptiles’, as they were on the evolutionary line leading to mammals, but had not yet acquired the characteristics we use to define Mammalia. Cynognathus was a fairly far along towards being mammalian, as the cynodonts are some of the most derived synapsids (for a basal synapsid, click here). This triassic carnivore had hind-limbs held directly under its body in a mammal like fashion, but its forelimbs still sprawled outwards. Cynognathus had multiple bones in its lower jaw, unlike the single bone of mammals, but the ‘extra’ bones were heavily reduced compared to basal synapsids. Mammal-like characteristics were a complete secondary palate (the bony roof of our mouths) and multiple types of teeth with differentiated cusps in its jaws. Reconstructing non-bony features for this 3 feet (1 meter) long animal is a bit tougher, but we can confidently say they still laid eggs and did not nurse their young. One of the biggest questions is ‘Did Cynognathus have fur?’ there is no direct evidence proving this one way other the other, but morphology suggestive of a large amount of blood vessels and nerves on the snout could indicate the presence of whiskers, which may in turn imply a covering of fur.

Beyond giving us critical information on the evolutionary history of mammals, Cynognathus was important to the development of the geologic theory of plate tectonics (though at the time it was called continental drift). A tremendous numbers of fossils of this animal are known, most on the now very distant continents of South America and Africa. Specimens from each land mass are virtually identical, meaning there had to be a lot of gene flow between each population, if they were separate populations. This is impossible for groups of terrestrial mammals with an ocean between them. Thus, these fossils (and other taxa) were used to argue that there had to have been a time in Earth’s history when these landmasses were one. This ancient landmass is now known (along with Antartica, India, and Australia) as the paleo continent of Gondwana.

candicedionysus:

Can we please stop circulating this? It’s a fake tweet, it’s not even true. Yahoo is allowing Tumblr to continue operating independently, basically all they did was give Tumblr money so they could keep operating and add them to the list of companies they own. They aren’t changing shit

THANK YOU. People on tumblr like to immediately believe things without actually looking into it even slightly. All it takes is a quick look at yahoo’s actual twitter to know that this is fake. Like, honestly. 10 seconds of your time, guys.

Kitten Twins Go Everywhere Together

Max and Snowflake have been inseparable since birth. Sure, they’re from the same litter, but they seem to share an extra special bond.

“They play together, climb the stairs together, sleep together, even poop together,” says Jon Eisenhower, a source close to the situation.

So far, their attachment hasn’t been a problem socially, but it remains to be seen what will happen next year when they attend school with two different teachers.
