Sometimes I feel like I am uniquely bad at being nonhuman.

A good day for me is one where I have enough energy to wash my hair. A good day is one where I can walk around the block and listen to the birds.

The thought of returning ‘home’ fills me with fear. With dread, even.

Safety is the human bed, the human meds, the mobility aids. Safety is the human who checks on me, who washes my hair when I can’t, who sits on the back step with me and strains to hear the birds when I’m too tired to walk.

Maybe I’m a bad animal. I’ve been too sick for too long to stay alive in the wild. Nonreleasable. Domesticated.

Too feral for human society; too weak for the wild.

A new viewpoint on antlers reveals the evolutionary history of deer (Cervidae, Mammalia)

fullview recommended!

something i've wanted to do for a while now. i've scoured the internet for something like this and can't find anything that compares all the different types of antlers together. except one recent study on their evolution, which is also very interesting on its own! i simplified it to provide a visual reference, while still trying to be scientifically accurate. some things differ between this and trophy scoring terminology like where the beam is and whatnot, so if something looks weird that's why.

small additional note, this study and others provide a lot of evidence that eld's deer should be in their own genus as it doesn't appear similar enough to barasingha and schomburgk's deer. however this doesn't seem to be adapted anywhere yet, so they're still in Rucervus for this guide.
