Fun fact: the guys at our college’s geology department prop out the doors with their samples. I totally understand why but as someone whose work with samples is necessarily super delicate and sterile it fucks me up so bad
lol idk if you watch nautilus live at all but watching them process bio & geo samples side by side evokes exactly this Thing (the descriptions are gold too… “here are the 30 steps we use to preserve bio samples, and as for rocks, well, we let them dry, bag them, & put them in the Rock Box)
Good to know there’s enough Biologist Salt™ to go around
Paleontologists occupy a weird and highly uncomfortable slice of this Venn Diagram
in my own experience with geology most precautions with samples are to preserve the life and safety of the geologist, most of the rocks are fine.
i am continually reminded of one of my colleagues, who wanted to collect a sample of gypsum on a field excursion but was too lazy to take off his backpack and get his rock hammer. so he said “eh, it’s soft enough” just fucking punched the rock until a piece fell off like it was fucking minecraft
In geology sometimes you lick your samples to figure out what they are.
Anthropology is like a mix of the two because while I’m totally manhandling a femur bone, god forbid I drop it.

Just realized something.
Therez a way to set up a livestream and have it play a video.
Now imagine it October and no Anti at Ll for the whole month.
Until the last day when Sean decides to do a livestream.
It starts as always, smooth jazz in the background and Sean waiting for more people to come. He greets us, ask us how we are, says he wanted to do a livestream since he didn’t in a long time. Then the smooth jazz that’s playing in the background starts to get a bit distorted. The whole livestream starts to glitch. We hear jack swear at his computer messing up until the screen goes black. Sean screams. There’s a couple of seconds of silence. Until Anti shows up on the screen, telling us he’s real and we should not underestimate his power.
I DONT KNOW WHAT THESE TYPES OF SHORT ARE CALLED AND IM TRYING TO LOOK FOR THEM BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT THEYRE CALLED SO I CANT FIND THEM SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
This evening as we were arriving at our hotel on the North Carolina coast, we heard a cry in the parking lot. We thought it might be a cat, so we called for it. The cry persisted. Out of the darkness ran a little orange kitten.
The kitten was desperate. He cried and cried, until we picked him up, put him in our car, and drove around looking for a place to buy cat food after midnight. We found some at a gas station, along with cat litter, and then we smuggled him up into our hotel room. We have since bathed him several times to combat the flea infestation from which he was suffering.
Throughout these multiple baths, he has not stopped purring once. He follows us everywhere. He wants to be cradled and cuddled constantly, he is especially fond of toes and kisses.
On top of everything, it seems as though his whiskers have been cut. We don’t know everything this little guy has been through, but he’s clearly had a hard life so far and he deserves so much better. As you all know if you’ve been following me, we already have multiple cats and probably shouldn’t add another to our household. However, surely someone out there can give this guy a home.
We found him in Morehead City, NC. Is there anyone who is interested in this little guy and can meet us to give him a good home? Please send me or Ash a message if you’re interested.
Please reblog even if you can’t offer him a home. Maybe someone you know can!
I just looked at OP’s blog and this post is only one day old, and so far (August 1st 2015) it’s still very relevant.
reblog this at least guys, you may a follower who can help this little fellow. Look how much love he has to give♥
