Queer, leftist, anti-authoritarian, scientist. I like weird art and stuff too. They/them.

A screenshot of the above post that cuts out most of it, reading “I need to get hit”
Bruce in his “eating done”: A small green bird (a parakeet? Idk) under a plastic dome, with flesh-red bits of fruit violently splattered on the floor and walls. The caption shows that this is from Facebook, posted by “poppy seed” in “crap bird photography”, with the description reading ‘Bruce in his “eating dome’”.
A reconstruction of Ovatiovermis cribatus (a luolishaniid), a segmented worm with long lobopods, gripping onto the top of a sponge. It is arching its trunk upwards, its forward frilly lobopods extended into the water stream to filter feed.
A bizarre comic in Dutch, showing a hole getting punched in a slightly anthropomorphized snail’s shell, allowing the snail to leave the shell and lead a good life, I think? It was created by Eveline Lucia van Dijk, wife of Bart Huges, survivor of the world’s first self-trepanation, which he advocated for as a way of achieving a permanent high. This comic is a metaphor for the benefits of trepanation. Source: https://www.lambiek.net/artists/d/dijk_eveline-van.htm
A scientific figure, showing line drawings of two lizards with minimal limbs and a shaded region showing the post-hip tail. (A) shows the “grass swimming” ecomorph, with a long sinuous body and even longer tail, tapering along its length. (B) shows the “burrowing” ecomorph, with a shorter body and a very short and blunt tail. Both have somewhat derpy expressions. From Camaiti et al., 2021. “A farewell to arms and legs: a review of limb reduction in squamates” in Biological Reviews.
A screenshot of a book, which says “This inescapability associated with being a woman is in part a reference to the associations of women with embodiment, "the flesh," and limitation versus the ability for men to "transcend" (be alienated from) their bodies, and be perceived as neutral. It also points, however, “ This is a quote from “The Thunder: Perfect Mind: A New Translation and Introduction” by Taussig et al.
A screenshot of the above posts.
A diagram composed of multiple ternary diagrams connected by their corners to form a triangular prism. There are a lot of labels.

A partially-assembled implosion-type fission bomb, showing the geometric blocks of the explosive lenses used to create a perfectly spherical shockwave around the core.
A display of wooden models of the many shapes crystals can grow in, used as a teaching aid in mineralogy. They are intricate and precise.
A photo of a very handsome centipede sitting calmly on a rock, which is being held in a hand. The centipede is dark, with orange spots.
Image of Egyptian god Set, whose associated animal is currently not known as a real animal. He has a droopy snoot and tall ears that widen to a blunt end.
Two back to back Minor Mobius posts: “The mystical powers of the traffic cone” and “self licking wounds”
An image of King K Rool edited to be wearing the crown of Sobek, which consists of rams horns, a sun disk, and two tall stylized plumes.
A beautifully carved seal, showing a somewhat stylized but intricate Zebu bull, facing left. Above it is what appears to be 5-6 written characters.
A distorted pixelized image of a face in red, with streaks of white and black. It’s two mouths appear to be screaming.
A clearly old black and white diagram showing a cross section of the Great Pyramid with lots of added lines and labels.
Screenshot of Wikipedia reading: These claims are unsubstantiated by research. Huges and his girlfriend also made several comic books in the 1970s, which promoted trepanation.
A photo of an old strangler fig. The tree it had grown around has long since died and rotted out, leaving only a hollow center in the intertwining network of fig trunks growing into each other.
A close-up photo of a larval moth eating some cloth. The smooth shiny grub contrasts with the messy fibers of the highly magnified cloth.
A rat chewing on an electrical cable.
Mistletoe, the fluffy balls of leaves, parasitizing a large tree, which is missing it’s leaves.
The base of a tree suffering from root rot. It is discolored around the base and visible roots.
A close up photo showing shipworms in the burrows they have made in a piece of wood.
A screenshot of a line of text, reading “—which we call lyfe (pronounced “loif”)”
Size comparison of Dunkleosteus, a large Devonian fish. It is somewhat shorter than a great white shark, but is almost twice as long as a person is tall.
Screenshot of a video by Clint’s Reptiles, showing the skeleton of a kiwi with a kiwi egg inside, as it would be before being laid. The egg is far too large, it looks like it takes up most of the inside of the bird. I genuinely don’t know where the organs would go.
Scientific diagram of a fossil whale skeleton next to a blue whale.
Sickos meme
6 origami jumping frogs made of magenta sticky notes, arranged in a circle facing a geometric monolith, also folded from a magenta sticky note.
It’s the pool drowning meme. The celebrated kid is captioned “Sonic the Hedgehog Autism”, the distressed kid is captioned “Crash Bandicoot Autism”, and the skeleton is labelled “Ty the Tasmanian Tiger Autism”.
A photo of the head, long neck, and shoulders of a heron. Instead of a gentle s-curve, the neck has an apparent kink in the middle, as indicated by unnatural looking lumps and rumpled feathers.
A picture of a small paperback copy of Neuromancer, by William Gibson, freshly purchased from the local used book store. The cover is lightly scuffed, but in overall good condition.
Aerial photo of the South Grand Island Bridge, a pair of truss arch bridges spanning the Niagara River. Their trusses are painted a light blue, and have beautiful curving lines. There is a taller arch in the middle to allow ships to pass underneath.
A screenshot of a post of mine, saying: “The threat of Santa’s omniscience against children to enforce discipline is a manifestation of Foucault’s panopticon effect: through the consciousness of potential visibility, the power is internalized within the child. A “cruel, ingenious cage” indeed.
A diagram showing how any snail can be mathematically modeled as an expanding helical coil be varying only a few parameters (extension, radius from cooling axis, expansion rate, etc)
An ant mill. A collective organism in a self-referential spiral, constant movement but no progress, doomed to die.
A black and white still from the original Godzilla, a clean shaven man wearing a button down and an eyepatch slightly tilts his head thoughtfully. The subtitles say” I destroyed all the oxygen in the water”
An aerial photo of network of oil platforms, connected by floating roads. The closest one has a series of brutalist apartment blocks with red roofs, arranged to face a small park. The farther platforms and connecting paths are very industrial.
Picture of a yellow grasshopper, limbs curled, laying on a blue background. A tangle of nematodes, looking like gossamer spaghetti, emanate from its abdomen. A watermark in the corner says “University of Florida”.
