Not checking in here. I may post stories because my patrons are nice and like ponies. Otherwise out of the fandom, sorry peeps.

    There's where you go.

    If you don't have money, fair enough. I've been there, done that. If you do and don't care, fuck off.

    The zines are for sale.

    I'll just bump you folks over to twitter for details, but the short version is they're $5 each, $2 USA shipping, $4 international, and I have two pony ones, A Twilight Trio (Unhorsed, Apex, Dreaming of Dragons) and Tender is the Night.

    It exists. :3

    That, my friends, is a zine, or a tiny, handmade book, containing three of my recent stories. Right now I'm working on getting them out to the Patrons, and after that I will be selling them in some way or another.

    Zines! AKA tiny books!

    I never managed to get on the pony book bandwagon. I just... self publishing is hard, okay? :P But zines are at least marginally less hard, I only have to wrestle with Libre Office, not with some printer's completely unfamiliar absolutely everything.

    Any Hades fans out there?

    I do actually have a pony story coming up! (On Patreon on Monday, here on Fimfic on Wednesday! Just a cute little erotica short, but it's one I particularly liked!)

    But I'm also currently in the middle of writing Hades story number four in just the last week, so, uh... On a bit of a roll there!

There's no such thing as a fish. · 11:09pm Aug 10th, 2020

I amuse myself while the world burns down around me by babbling on about random scientific facts that lurk about in my mind.

It's that or run in circles screaming.


There's No Such Thing As A Fish

Reptiles don't exist either, unless you're okay with birds being reptiles. Seeing as they're already dinosaurs, this would mean that the "tyrant lizard king" can be a lizard again and I think we can all agree that this would be part of any worthy categorization system.

Oh yeah, reptiles are at least as weird as fish to try to define! I almost went on a ramble about that in the tweet, but decided to cut it, since twitter is not a great medium for endless rambling.

Although you can meaningfully define lizards. It just not only leaves out poor T-rex, it leaves out some things that sure as hell look like lizards. (Like the tuatara, which is not a lizard, but you'd swear it was.)

A friend once told me that hiccups happen because of a malfunction that reactivates the gill-breathing reflex. Said reflex never went away; we just evolved the equivalent of dummying out code instead, because natural selection means shrugging and rolling with whatever mutations produce the most viable offspring.

I never bothered to confirm the claim because I like it too much to care if it's true. Though it seems there's some degree of basis for it, which is neat. Nature isn't just fascinating, it's quite silly. :pinkiehappy:

Reminds me of that episode of Q.I.:

That's where I first heard it! Though they explain it very poorly, in my opinion.

well, whats been keeping my blind neighbor so relaxed?

Guys, we don't have to worry about bacteria anymore! There's obviously no such thing as a single-celled organism.
