what if the new animal species we discover each year are actually being dropped off by aliens? like they have an over abundance of yeti crabs or something and so they brought some to earth because they knew we’d get a kick out of this

This is the cutest conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard

Crow babies are important

Somehow it never occurred to me that crows start out as babies.

@exhausted-trashgoddex

those aren’t baby crows

these are baby crows

but if those are baby crows, what are those birds?

i poked around, and apparently they’re buff-banded rail chicks

crows, like other songbirds (yes, crows are songbirds), have what are calle atricial young- they hatch basically featherless and unable to walk and do much of anything but beg for food. rails, on the other hand, have precocial young- their chicks are fluffy from the get-go and can start walking almost immediately. ducklings are a well-known example of this

Note to self: if the baby doesn’t look like a bristly goblin, it’s not a corvid

i started writing original fiction because of a comment i got on a house md fic i wrote when i was 12 years old. someone said “this is out of character, house and wilson would never act like this.” so i thought, “if i make my own characters, no one can ever tell me they’re out of character, because i decide,” and i started planning my first novel. now i’m 23 and i’ve written 4 novel-length works, i have a degree in publishing and i work at a literary magazine, largely because someone insulted my house fanfiction. follow your dreams.
