things i've heard environmental science majors say:
"For the test we'll need to tell the different flavours of mayflies apart." / "Did you just say flavours?"
"It amazes me how many city kids are in this program." / "We're all desperate to get out of this city."
"I think everyone who attended all the surface water pollution lab sections should be allowed to lick one piece of glassware of their choosing. Y'know, as a treat."
"Professor, nobody goes into this major unless they like to eat dirt." / "Great, so you can talk the Students' Association into convincing the board to give me funding for my trees?"
"What're we toasting to?" / "Nitrogen pollution."
"You look frustrated. What's up?" / "I had twenty-one Leptophlebiidae in my dish. He's going to think I'm lying about how many Leptophlebiidae are in my dish."
"If you weren't raised by Wall-E, do you even belong in this class?" / "The Onceler." / "Fuck, good point."
"Dude, I spent the whole exam trying not to sink my teeth into a really, really juicy bug in my sample—" / "Cranefly?" / "...yeah."
"Well, just make sure you're not (person)'s lab partner. Last weekend's trip involved him leaving too many fish in the dirt for the professor's liking."
[exhausted chorus] "And the fish go belly-up."
"What's the major difference between east coast and west coast soils?" / "Alcoholism."
"Got any plans for the holidays?" / "Gonna go home and listen to my entire extended family call me a tree-hugging hippie." / "Aren't we all?"

Kawagoe, Japan. One of the shops I liked on my trip last year. I would try to keep making art related to many amazing places I have been to in the past few years to keep the color and background practice✨

For the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year, according to the EU's climate service. World leaders promised in 2015 to try to limit the long-term temperature rise to 1.5C, which is seen as crucial to help avoid the most damaging impacts. This first year-long breach doesn't break that landmark Paris agreement, but it does bring the world closer to doing so in the long-term. Urgent action to cut carbon emissions can still slow warming, scientists say.

also, while we are at it
"my dragon flies because it's magic xdxddxdxd"
fine, acceptable, it's magic. Okay. Even as a biologist I'm willing to give it a pass. God knows that in my space opera project I've went "mumble mumble convergent evolution mumble" for some of my earth-like aliens. The shape is kinda believeable and original, you chose some cool features, it's fine, no need for the whole phylogenetic tree.
Now, why is it magic? what does it mean it is magic?
Were dragons created by a god? are they manifestations of nature? why are dragons, especifically, magic and not say, crocodiles?
Is it a species with physical presence and a life cycle, or are they magical beings? how many dragons are there, how important they are to your world? are they worshipped, feared, venerated, just some kind of weird megafauna but otherwise unremarkable? what do they eat, how much?
If it's a sentient dragon from a physical species, as most modern fiction seems to assume (you'd be surprised that in most medieval works they were mostly mindless beasts or demons, dragons as noble creatures are very much a modern invention in the West) how do they think? How do they act differently from smaller, less powerful, shorter lived species? Do they have their own gods, their own rituals, their own beliefs? Are they lonely beings or are they able, or interested, to form part of society, or even have their own societies?
What's the cultural role of a dragon in the world you're making? What do your characters think when they hear the word 'dragon'? What do they know about dragons, when your hero goes and finds one, what are their conceptions of it? Can they fight it? How? Why?
Notice that most of my questions aren't stupid UNREALISTIC! CINEMASINS DING!, but things that actually affect your characters, setting and plot. Don't like to write a ethnographical paper about dragons? do it anyways or I'll shoot you, don't, but if you're introducing an element to your story, even if you're using stock fantasy elements like dragons, you will benefit A LOT from thinking how they fit into your story.
And even in settings were "it's magic" is acceptable as an answer, or more *surreal* or comedic stories where things happen without too much logic, a dragon is still a symbol. What does your dragon mean in your story? "oh, a magical dragon". Fine. Why is there a dragon on your story? Don't have a whole herpetology paper, because this is just a romance? Okay, can you spare me a couple lines to tell me what does a dragon mean in your world? That too, is yuri worldbuilding.

How are humans helping animals in need? National Wildlife Day
How are humans helping animals in need? National Wildlife Day
National Wildlife Day on September 4 brings an awareness of the plight of animals around the globe, whether in your own backyard or one you might see in a zoo or aquarium. Animals may need help for a variety of reasons, some of which are caused by humans and others not. Development causes habitat loss and/or fragmentation. Pollution may not only affect what animals eat and drink but some trash…

I’m maybe procrastinating on designing the gas giants… but only because I need them to be done right
In the meantime, I drew some backgrounds and concept art for Oceans superstructure
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m very proud of the water I drew in the last one
Also, a little lore: Oceans has plenty of scavs on top of her superstructure and she loved observing them and their culture.
Unfortunately, these cute little guys are messing with some over technology (much like FP). The difference between her and Pebbles is that she doesn’t want to pull an Artificer and kill them all because she really likes them.
This is the setup for The Reflection’s purpose and mission: to find a peaceful way to stop scavs from hurting Oceans.
Anyway, I’m either gonna draw Reflections campaign info page next or some concept for Rusted’s superstructure.

He keeps getting into these situations
[ID: Grayscale Magnus Protocol comics. Sam smiles and says, "Hey man, how's the app--" He's loudly cut off by Colin scowling and shouting "Fuck you!" while he pours the contents of a flask into his mug. Then Alice glares at him and says, "You need to stop talking about the Magnus Institute, boy" as a surprised Sam whispers "What."
Last, Gwen walks into the room and angrily says, "Stop talking shit about me." Alice, still glaring at Sam, says "Fuck you," and Sam looks piteous as he sits at his desk and goes, "... What." End ID] (description by @princess-of-purple-prose)
