    alphynix: There’s a trend in paleoart known as “shrink-wrapping”, where dinosaurs and other beasties are drawn as little more than the barest amount of flesh over a skeleton, as if the distant past was entirely populated by bizarrely anorexic wildlife. It was very prevalent in the 90s, although thankfully less so these days. A recently-released book, All Yesterdays, features some wonderful speculative paleoart, showcasing a few more fanciful and fun depictions of prehistoric life as a reminder that we might still be just as wrong about some of these animals as were the lumbering swamp-monster dinosaurs of the 1950s. It also has a section based around “reconstructing” a few animals of today as they might be seen by a non-human paleontologist in the far future. And I’ve done something similar here. This is a suitably shrink-wrapped and scalified version of a modern critter — our hypothetical future-scientist only had a skeleton to work from, and no soft-tissue evidence at all for this particular group of animals. So, let’s have a little interactivity here: what is this thing? Edit: The answer is here. Thanks for guessing! :D AH HA HA A++ ATERRIBLEIDEA, ON MY MORPHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE

    this is mostly for my own benefit but i guess you can look too

    looking for jobs, going to narrow down which US states to apply to by how many state parks/forests etc are in the state (i mean, in addition to trawling ta&m and uni hr job listings)

    NY (100 State Parks, 50 State Forests, 1 State Wildlife Areas)

    PA (119 State Parks, 26 State Forests, 1 State Wildlife Areas)

    WA (188 State Parks, 3 State Forests, 6 State Wildlife Areas)

    OR (154 State Parks, 7 State Forests, 1 State Wildlife Areas)

    CA (126 State Parks, 8 State Forests, 11 State Wildlife Areas)

    FL (127 State Parks, 4 State Forests, 2 State Memorials)

    also, this is kind of hilarious to me

    TX (55 State Parks, 4 State Forests). You’d think with so much land there’d be more. Or maybe the state parks/forests are huge. Or maybe it’s reflective of how little time/space they’ve devoted. WHO. KNOWS.

    UGH GOD ITS SO FUCKING LONG

    AND SO VERBOSE

    LIKE

    UGHUGH I’VE BEEN SPENDING TO MUCH TIME READING SCIENTIFIC PAPERS MAYBE, ALL THIS SUPERFLUOUS VERBAGE IS JUST

    CUT IT DOWN YO

    BE SUCCINCT

    GET YOUR POINT ACROSS IN AS FEW WORDS AS POSSIBLE

    haha

    oh no, am i oppressing by demanding this

    whups

    OKAY SO I FINISHED

    so what I’m getting from this OP is that cissexism isn’t the problem, the patriarchy is the problem, and cisprivilege doesn’t even exist, yo, the REAL issue is Man-privilege. 

    And I guess intersectionality doesn’t exist, not even a little bit.

    Because I’m getting the impression that OP believes the oppression of women magically negates ciswoman oppression of trans*people. Or maybe ciswomen CAN’T partake in institutionalized oppression by virtue of being women. 

    OH

    yo, realtalk

    i didn’t even finish reading the original liberation collective post because I started

    and I tried, really. I did. 

    But as I progressed, I got the sinking suspicion that it was radfem cissexist bullshit so I stopped

    HA. 

    HA. 

    I guess I should read it, now that I have all this time to kill :T

    i’m talking about this

    maybe i’ll address some issues i will, no doubt there will be many, have with the OP’s premise

    or maybe i’ll decide playing psychonauts (GOD ATERRIBLEIDEA HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU PLAY A GAME) again and work on my scientific paper
