So I was watching Beastars, and I figured out why that character looked familiar.

Finally, hank hill has a confirmed fursona

literally obsessed with this tiktok (x)

This beautiful juvenile octopus is just 2 centimetres (an inch) wide. It was spotted at night in the deep water off the coast of Tahiti by Fabien Michenet, France, for the “Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015″ contest.

Its transparent body lets us admire its internal organs. Notice also the orange spots on its tentacles: that’s its chromatophores, i.e. the colour-changing cells used for camouflage.

Jeweled Skeletons

The jeweled skeletons were originally found in catacombs beneath Rome in 1578, and distributed as replacements under the belief they were Christian martyrs to churches who had lost their saint relics in the Reformation.

Most of the skeleton’s identities were unknown. The  churches spent years covering the revered skeletal strangers with jewels and golden clothing, even filling their eye sockets and sometimes adorning their teeth with jewels. The skeletons were ultimately hidden away during the enlightenment because they represented excess and the churches were embarrassed about how much money was spent on them.
