@emotionless-plane

huh?? what ??

you see me on the front lawn in a short skirt and pom poms whooping and hollering and performing a complex cheer routine—the whole time staring straight up at the night sky. several quadrillion miles away, a black hole starts sucking in stars just a little bit faster

Kind of fucked thinking about the fact that there is one single American legally authorized to research the critically endangered pygmy raccoon in Mexico and it is, in fact, the same person who did Dashcon.

This person is also this person

And is currently the only person from the United States legally permitted to research the critically endangered pygmy raccoons (Procyon pygmaeus) in Cozumel, Mexico.

For reference, this is me, BTW! I was 15 when I started Dashcon and 17 when it actually happens, and now study tourism’s impact on the critically endangered pygmy raccoon. I’ve been researching them before now, but due to Mexico’s laws, I’ve only been allowed to do data collection from abroad (so think surveys to tourists and video analysis on social media.) But now I’m authorized for in situ research!! Yippee! I even got a grant through my university as well to fund the whole project 🥺

This is the reason this hellsite is truly a homesite. We grow here. You can go back and see how it happened. I was a Bachelor’s student when I started my tumblr. Now I’m an Associate Professor and Curator, with my own lab and Denmark’s national collection of 70,000ish reptile and amphibian specimens in my care.

I love it here

not plant related but no amount of college biology instruction prepared me for my first and only one-on-one beaver encounter along a community walking path just past midnight last night. impossibly sleek large SILENT creature materializing literally like one foot away from me (middle of the night) (december) (slightly below freezing) and it just turned away from the sidewalk and lumbered towards the dark of the river (tail was as big as my shoe) (had a mouse body plan scaled up 1000% in size) (MADE NO NOISE). i just dont know how to describe it, i dont know what to make of it. i just dont know

just hit flow state and wrote 50 words of my essay. might scroll on my phone and write another 25 in about an hour or two. nobody is doing it like me
