we were discussing what classes we might have in the future and a 1st grade friend said “i wish we had a class where we just hunted for seeds.” and i said “during every class? every week?” and he said “every day.” and i said “hunting for seeds every day” and he said “not every day. every day of the week, and party on the weekends.”

This is my favourite one of these I’ve done! Gift for a friend, a tyrannotaur made from plastic toys. Experimenting with using a mixture of cornstarch and PVA glue to fill in the gaps. 

I am the friend and I stubbornly call it a centaursaurus because death of the author and she lives at my house

so anyway I just turned around to admire my centaursaurus and… something seems different

There are two sides to every coin and sometimes you can’t
show the internet both sides bc you need to wait until the friend you gave the
first side to has it in their house and then swap the second side with it and
see how long it takes them to notice (several days) but here’s the tyrannotaur
and the dinosorse together pals for life

How did the Minnesota raccoon scale that 25-story building? ‘Superpowers’ and ‘insatiable curiosity.’

Suzanne MacDonald, a York University psychologist who studies urban raccoons, was similarly gripped, but she wasn’t worried. Why? Because raccoons — as their black masks might suggest — have “quite a few superpowers,” she explained not long after the drama ended Wednesday morning. The most obvious of those talents: a crack climbing ability.

The furry carnivores, which are native to North America and have thrived in its cities, possess limbs with great strength and five-toed paws with long claws and immense dexterity. Those allow the animals to break open clams and trash bins, and to scale construction cranes, chimneys and soaring trees. Their hind feet can rotate 180 degrees for easy descent. Vertigo almost certainly doesn’t afflict them.

“Their dexterity is really remarkable,” said Sarah Benson-Amram, a University of Wyoming assistant professor who runs a lab that studies raccoon cognition. “If you watch videos of raccoons in the wild, you see moms carrying kits in their mouths, climbing up really tall trees with arms outstretched around the trunk, working their way up.”
