"Transgender Rage Is More Powerful Than The Courts.

hey, don't cry. marbled polecat, ok?

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Most Birds-of-Paradise Are Secretly Biofluorescent, Study Finds

From the article:

Birds-of-paradise have some of the most famous mating displays in the world, but there's more to their colorful rhythmic gymnastics than initially meets the human eye. For the first time, scientists have discovered these spectacular avians absolutely glowing with gorgeousness in a dark room. Researchers at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) combed through the available archives and found that all 37 core bird-of-paradise species in Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia are biofluorescent. Only a few fringe family members fail to glow under ambient UV or blue light.

Most male birds tested possess brightly fluorescent heads, napes, bills, and plumes that glimmer with green or greenish-yellow hues. Some even have fluorescent legs, feet, tails, and rings around their eyes. Many of these mysteriously colorful patches are starkly bordered by dark feathers with no fluorescence, and these parts of the body are often used in mating displays, when males flap, flutter, sway, bop, hang, and pose in an elaborate, attention-seeking dance that varies from species to species.

Note that this is different than bioluminescence. This is like those glow-in-the-dark stickers. They mention puffin beaks glowing under UV light.

Puffin Beaks Are Fluorescent, and They’re Not the Only Ones

Scorpions, stick insects and caterpillars are among the many critters that glow under UV light

Puffin beaks are fluorescent and we had no idea | CBC News

Ornithologist Jamie Dunning had the idea to shine a UV light on a puffin in January. The results were spectacular.

(Check out the glasses they gave them in the second article!)

(Completely shameless advert notice: In my fics when I talk about Rito having UV markings on their beaks, this is pretty much what I"m talking about.)
