@lane-thepencilthing I Hope You Voted Here

Oakie dokie (lol), the poll closes at 4pm today! Please vote for this acorn, I am unreasonably invested. I will post a piece of my art for every new Oakie vote this post gets (please like or comment if you vote so I know)! If you’ve already voted, you can vote again- each voter can vote every 12 hours.

Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈

Mascot Madness - SUNY

SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.

I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.

In conclusion, vote for Oakie!

@theoptimistictabby thanks for voting for Oakie and spreading the word!

These are roughly inspired by my soulless mad scientist OC, Dr. Kaye.

Yeaah. If you’re new, please add something to your blog to make you look real. If you’re a woman, I’d advise against making your pfp a picture of you if you don’t have any posts… because that’s what the bots infesting this site tend to look like. Please make it clear you’re an actual person and not a spam bot, thanks :)

There's a new swarm of totally real ladies with empty blogs following me, and I'm blocking and reporting them left and right. If you are an actual human person with a brand new account trying to follow me, I urge you to please post *anything at all* on your blog so that when I go to check who the heck you are, I can tell you aren't just a bot-encrusted void. Just a simple "hello this is my lurker account I use to follow people" is enough.

Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.

This is the safe one:

Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

Another art post thanks to an Oakie voter (thank you, @system-bracket !)

This is a metaphorical selves-portrait we made! Jacob is on the left, Katlyn is on the right, and our body is in the center.

I used this picrew to make images of some of my OCs :)

Dr. Kaye:

(She basically has two expressions: her usual fake smile and a totally blank/neutral expression that’s kind of the facial expression equivalent of an error screen, used when she’s confused or actually having emotions.)

KT:

(KT is cute and she knows it. She will use her adorableness to get what she wants.)

Ted Kaye:

(He’s perpetually exhausted and trying not to show it)

Bonus: Katherine Kaye as an exhausted college student

(She will deny that she was up all night studying and doing homework for the past 3 consecutive nights. She’s a straight-A student and she will insist she’s totally fine and not struggling with anything).

Vote Lucina my blorbo ❤️❤️❤️

Round 1

Okay, for anyone interested in the science here, I have a few clarifications.

First, early fossils of land plants date to around 433 million years ago, during the Silurian period, not to the Precambrian (defined as before around 540 million years ago).

Second, Tiktaalik was not the first land animal; it is known for being the earliest/one of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land, but arthropods got there first. Early centipedes and millipedes ventured out of the water relatively soon after the plants (around 425 million years ago, also during the Silurian), while Tiktaalik evolved around 375 million years ago, during the Devonian period.

can you imagine plants on land in the precambrian like aw fuck yeah fish cant even eat us anymore this owns and then tictilak shows up
