Animal of the Day!
Frilled Lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii)
(Photo from Biology Dictionary)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Northern Australia; Southern New Guinea
Size (Weight/Length)- 90 cm
Diet- Insects; Spiders; Small lizards
Cool Facts- The generally chill frilled lizard is a master of the trees. They spend almost their entire lives amongst the branches outside of the wet season, during which they travel to ground level in search of abundant insects. The large frill around their neck, found on both males and females, is used to dissuade predators from attacking them. After all, a snake would think twice about eating a lizard that suddenly appeared to be twice the size it was three seconds ago. Males will also use their frill for communication and territorial displays. On the off chance their frill isn’t scary enough, the frilled lizard sprints away on its hind legs at up to 45 kilometers per hour.
Rating- 13/10 (When I was a kid these were my favorite animals.)

the Harvest journey of:
win refusing to acknowledge morse when he calls out goodbye: i thought he was fond of her, in his way... the pair of you. strange tells morse about the met job offer. thursday goes to leamington. you should have said something, he later says to morse, but he sounds more upset than angry. it wasn't my place, says morse, and they both sense the lie.
morse broods about this over a pint and considers the met job. he tells bright about it; there's nothing to keep me here. no family. and then the emotional slaughterhouse of the episode. joan has come to morse. she's lost, in trouble, and morse, in one of his bouts of forgetting the rest of the world does not operate on the rules of high romance, goes -- marry me.
in her shock, joan reaches for the safety of a script. she doesn't want his pity,
and never mind what dad would say.
(behold the hopeless smile of despair; these thursdays are gonna be the death of him)
it's interesting: this isn't miscommunication so much as a denial of communication. joan knows she is in no place, emotionally or otherwise, to consider the offer seriously. her response is a parry, returning one piece of out-of-place dialogue (a sudden marriage proposal) with another. the idea of morse pitying her could be projection, but that thursday would respond in the stereotypical overprotective dad fashion (well. how he responded to good ole ray, actually!) is a bit of a reach here, since her very first reaction to morse telling her about his new job is: how did dad take it? in joan's head, there is no separating morse from her father; they're tangled up in there, for better or worse (worse, so much worse ohmygod).
the phone rings. it could be work, she says, and he smiles with glittering eyes and replies, in an answer that echoes down the years of his life: it wouldn't be anything else.
after they've wrapped the case, morse and thursday sit in the darkened nick, together but separate, as always united in direction but no longer side-by-side.
thursday shares the good news about joan, but morse is so shattered, he cannot summon so much as a word of fake relief in response. he tries to make a proper (if secret) goodbye, but the moment the other man mentions the actual word, his nerve completely fails him.
thursday senses it anyway.
and in the end, there's nothing more to be said, except everything they won't say.
morse is losing him and he never had her to begin with; maybe he never had anything at all, except what was in his head
same old story.

Listening and reading this statement/reserch paper im really starting to feel like the theory that the fears have turned more into “desires” is getting more and more possible and plausible. With the “architectural hunger” line in the paper. The desire for more visual interest ig.
I’m wondering that even if these are desires not fears there are still some elements in f the fears? Cause at the moment (9:11)I’m feeling that this has a very lonely sort of vibe, which makes sense since this is Norris voicing the statement.
Nvm this seems to be a very distortion ep the lonely is probably not very present lmao
Seeing more of the desire aspects a lot more it’s interesting.
And there’s computer Norris again :((
Yayyy Gwen and Alice!!
My goodness Alice fill up the kettle again when you use it!!
so Alice didn’t know what was going on? That’s interesting, I had kinda thought she knew what was happening and was trying to keep Sam away from it. It seems that she know just as much as we do ig
GERRY?? AS IN BOOK BURNING GERRY????GERTRUDE?? OH MY GOD. GERRY AND GERTRUDE!! GRANDSON??? IM ACTUALLY SOBBING :(((( THIS IS BREAKING ME SCREAMING, CRYING, THROWING UP, CLAWING AT THE WALLS!! GERRY AND GERTRUDE!!!!!!
