My favorite beanie baby is the one ominously named The End and it’s just black void bear with no birthday

You’re telling me there’s a bear out there that hurt has “the” embroidered on it and nothing else

Here’s the beginning if anyone’s curious

Stunning sunset! This happens because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering: cirrus clouds scatter the longer, red wavelengths of light and give the sky an orange or reddish hue | source

Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"

Reblog to give the prev person some dopamine.

dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET? 

LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSON’S BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THAT’S COOL I’M JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOU’RE ON MARS BICH!

i hate to be rude and intrude on this post but we have decent pictures of the surface Venus too! 

#venus has a low render distance

See also below Saturn’s moon, Titan. Mars has a blue horizon at sunset so it looks even more Earth-like in this image:

Also: Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

So it’s not quite snowing on Churyumov–Gerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, that’s the surface of a comet. That’s a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76p are a place. 

If that isn’t the neatest shit I don’t know what is.

best thing about tumblr is seeing pictures of Weird Creatures I’d never heard of before

Tufted Pigmy Squirrel. I learned of it recently and was immediately delighted

Oh my goodness!! I’d never heard of it either, and am also delighted!

Reblog to delight your mutuals

If I may delight you further with more unusual squirrels?

The tufted ground squirrel or groove-toothed squirrel (Rheithrosciurus macrotis) native only to the island of Borneo. They have the largest tail-to-body ratio of any mammal- their tail is 130% of it own body. Local legends call them “Vampire Squirrels” and say that they wait in trees for deer to pass beneath and then fall upon them and drink their blood (They actually eat nuts).

The Indian giant squirrel or Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica), native to India. Looks like it was drawn by your favorite sparkle artist with rave-ready colors of gold, magenta, and blue-black/purple.

You may think you’ve seen some cute flying squirrels before… but have you seen the Red and White Giant Flying Squirrel (Petaurista alborufus)?

This… this is a pokemon you guys…

Supposedly a real animal that lives in China.

I had seen the first 2, but I don’t think I’d seen the red and white flying one! It’s lovely! It looks like it’s wearing a fancy mask, or perhaps skull makeup.

being alive is great because there are so many different vegetables you can sauté. but then there are also the horrors

with faith and perseverance, one day we will sauté the horrors

i love this website

would give anything to be invited to this
