a lot of my autism masking is just making myself more palatable for other people and my therapist said “does spock make himself ‘more palatable’ for others?” and had me promise to keep unmasking like:
what i really need is a list of every building and location ever mentioned in gotham so i don’t have to make up places and hope they aren’t redundant and don’t sound stupid
the problem with working in a coffee shop is sometimes people sitting next to you are having really interesting conversations but you’re not allowed to join in
i think everyone should have known dick faked his death during the spyral era based on how casual bruce was about it. if dick had actually died bruce would’ve crawled into the grave with him.
i promise the map of salamander diversity is not what you expect
Appalachia numero uno salamander capital of the world baby <3 there are like 70 something species in North Carolina alone
Basically its cause they evolved here!
The U.S. states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama also have the most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems in the world.
The Appalachian Mountains are notable for having the world’s greatest diversity of tree species in a temperate forest, with over 100 species of tree that make up the forest. They’re also a global hotspot of lichen biodiversity.
Fun fact, dozens of genera of plants only have 2 species in them, one found in Appalachia and one found in SE Asia. These are called vicariad species pairs. Eastern Asia and Appalachia has very similar climates, that’s why all the major Appalachian invasive species, such as Kudzu, are from eastern Asia
The SE United States has some of the nation’s most biodiverse ecosystems but they are also some of the least protected.
