people r so like not even covert about it like everyone is 1 push away from admitting they think sex is a dirty corrupting force and if you engage w it too much you're a disgusting freak or whatever. whorephobia is so pervasive in fuckin Everything bc nobody takes it even remotely seriously . sex workers n people who just like sex a lot are always gonna be viewed as some sort of predator or icky gross shunnable thing. it's so sucks

also absolutely hate when people say "this is set a million years from now and there's still racism and homophobia? #problematic" and then you read it and it's a scathing and concise yet meticulous examination of our current views on race and gender and sexuality. you don't understand what the point of science fiction is. escapism is not the pinnacle of the written form that all genre fiction should aspire to. you're annoying me

the fantastical setting allows for the writer to make our current day issues larger than life and therefore more easily examined and deconstructed. in genre fiction fantasy is often used as a microscope and through it we can try to better understand what's gone so wrong with us in the modern day, we can try to point to the cancer in the cells. it's natural to want to escape sometimes (i love a good romcom for example) but you do need to confront a mirror every once in a while. the solution to your pain is not to bury your head in squeecore. sorry i said squeecore

i just

why would they need to be so loud? did they spend a lot of time spread apart from each other?

do you think they made contact calls, like parrots and other birds of today?

do you think they spread out foraging, calling out to each other?

"I am thinking of you. Are you thinking of me? I am lonely, but not when I can hear you. I will see you soon."

i just. fuck dude. i am once again having feelings about the parasaurolophus. i'm only crying a little bit.

I mean, thats *exactly* what we think they were doing!

Plus, lots of hadrosaurs (the group Parasaurolophus is in) lived alongside each other, and they all would have been that loud and constantly talking to each other. So they needed to be able to tell which calls were whose!

spinosnoreus-aegypticus

oh to romance a fellow hadrosaur by bellowing from a great distance, singing a song that would be totally unique, only to be complimented and returned by an equally beautiful call from across the late cretaceous marshes. I think it would be beautiful actually. I would like to see that documentary

honestly the more we are able to find out about dinosaurs and sound the clearer it is that sound was just as important to nonavian dinosaurs as it is to modern birds

the Mesozoic was loud and everyone had something to say
