I got into a pretty nice university with a full ride scholarship and I’m transferring soon, so I’m really excited :)

On a remote Panamanian island, capuchin monkeys are abducting howler infants—and no one knows why. Ritual? Innovation? Boredom? A haunting look into primate minds. #Primatology #MonkeyBehavior #Anthropology #Cognition #Capuchins #CurrentBiology @currentbiology.bsky.social

went to lincoln park zoo to watch the gorillas do their thing today. the primate house was closed so i didn’t get to see the monkeys, but hanging out with the apes was fun enough 🦍

i also drew a zebra who was grazing 🦓

wrapped up the semester with a 3.9 GPA :D i’ve been working full time and had an extremely tough time with my mental health so im glad.

read this really interesting paper about capuchin monkeys. someone posted about it on tiktok, and a commenter said “the howler monkeys are their labubus” and i thought that was hysterical lol

sometimes, as an autistic person, i wonder if there’s some kind of inferiority complex that neurotypical people have. why are you people like that?? autistic people are just chilling. i dont want to be “cured”. how else would i be obsessive over science and yakuza fanfiction at the same time?

“pirate yakuza in hawaii came out. that was cool”

“what was the fall of the US like”

well i drew a lot of gay fanart and wondered if i’ll even be able to finish undergrad before the country topples over

BREAKING: Trump today issued his most unhinged, illegal Executive Order yet. It orders federal agencies to "sunset" nearly all U.S. enviromental regulations implementing everything from the Endangered Species Act to the Safe Drinking Water Act.

@biologicaldiversity.org will sue the second he tries.

“autism epidemic” more like “we finally have a name for this diagnosis, so more people will be diagnosed with it than before it existed” LMFAO be so for real

thought about thylacines a little too hard today

Beloved #pet: a #Roman burial of a #dog. The animal was buried with a vessel, its head was bedded on a piece of leather.
