Yo.

Caught this guy clinging to the mesh above our field station sink at 03:47 this morning. Almost mistook it for a twig someone used to prop the window open until it blinked at me. Classic.

Observed Specimen:

Species: Bactrododema tiaratum (local ID confirmed with regional biodiversity database)

Estimated Length: ~18.2 cm

Behavior: Motionless for approx. 14 minutes before minor locomotion triggered by ambient vibration. Defensive drop reflex observed and recorded. No chemical discharge during encounter, though posterior gland ridges suggest capability.

Location: Western Uganda, edge of Kibale ecosystem, elevation ~1100m

Notes:

This stick bug’s mimicry is textbook perfection. The thorax segmentation, leg angle articulation, and even the sway mimic branch behavior under wind stress (which was nonexistent at the time). Evolutionary pressure clearly produced peak efficiency here. You could walk past a dozen and never notice unless your pattern recognition’s tuned to ridiculous levels (like mine, obviously).

Also—its eggs mimic plant seeds. Which means they’ve hacked ant behavior to move their offspring underground. Science is ten billion percent amazing.

Anyway, I’ve attached a photo. If I wasn’t surrounded by mosquito-bitten chaos and broken lab fridges, I’d have collected the molt and started testing its tensile strength. (Still might.)

Hope your weeks are boring and predictable. Mine isn’t.

P.S. Yuzuriha: You’d probably try to make it a pet. P.P.S. Taiju: Please don’t ask if it’s edible. P.P.P.S. Old man: I already named it so don't send back any dumb ass suggestions.

MY BABY BOY'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Now after Yuzuriha and Gen, we only have Taizu left!

I wonder what Senku gifted them^^

(I am never going to get over how Gen squeezes right in the middle of Senku's best friends or how their birthdays are mirrored)

- 🧅

it's like yuzuriha and taiju are both squeezing gen into this one big hug and IT'S MY FAVOURITE THING EVER

i believe inagaki sensei when he says that senku and gen's birthdays being inverted was merely a coincidence

but then there's the fact that gen's birthday was senku's revival day and seeing that date on the tree was what made him change sides from the very beginning

and gen's birthday being in between senku's two favourite people

senku might not give credit to such things, but if all these coincidences weren't planned and they couldn't have been stopped either... what can i say? it might've been fate after all~

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.

Reminder these are people.

@thymehaspassed oh my god i cant take this anymore 😭 /j

and a happy new year!
