I have two simultaneous thoughts about this...
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
LOOK AT THE CUTE LITTLE FUZZY MOUSES!
Got tagged this and thought it'd be fun to do ^^
It's too serene. Not enough massive sentient robots LOL but I do love nature and space. And butterflies. And moths. 🎉
I don't really have anyone in mind to tag, but if this pops up on anyone's fyp then feel free to do one for yourself! The link is in the first post btw
Tagged by the lovely @lesbiansandco to do this but the original post was getting long so I'm starting a new one ✨
Make a little fishbowl for your blog!

Silly shadow x drawing i did (inspo below the "keep reading")
The inspo is based on this set of sonic keychains! Only putting the one i based my shadow doodle on here tho.
I forgot who made this, but if i find out ill def credit them!
(more goodies under the cut)
....YEAH :D
I LOVE TIGER MOTH

certified mega ambler train sketch moment
It's hilarious to me how Colossal Biosciences wants to be movie-version John Hammond but are 100% book-version John Hammond. In the Jurassic Park novel, it's very clear: John Hammond is a con artist who gives people an illusion, not the truth. He knew from the beginning that what he was making weren't dinosaurs, but he didn't care because he had a story to sell. He wasn't just "filling in gaps" with the frog dna, his scientists were basically making things up from whole cloth and he had no pretence about it- but he also knew what the public wanted to believe.
Case in point: https://time.com/7274542/colossal-dire-wolf/
These are not dire wolves. These are GMO gray wolves. Dire wolves aren't even in the same genus as gray wolves, and we know this from genetics.
What Colossal is doing is scamming the public. They want you to believe that they can pull off miracles. They can't. It's the flea circus where everything is mechanised, but because you want to believe, you "see" the fleas. They might be good at genetic modification and they might be good at hyping themselves up, but they haven't de-extincted the dire wolf. They didn't activate mammoth genes in a mouse. They are lying to you and they're going to keep doing it. Don't believe the hype.
