wheres that post about how writing fucking sucks because you keep getting distracted by reading what you’re writing because you wrote what you wanted to read and reading it is fun because you wrote it. for you.
My father always told me: “If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don’t look for company. Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves.” And only recently have I realized that this principle works everywhere.
first incidence of good writing advice i’ve seen in 10+ years on this platform and it’s in the notes of a mustelid wreaking absolute havoc in a german grocery store
@mammalidentifier this is peak mustelid behavior of course, but what mustelid is he?
That’s a beech marten (Martes foina)!
Beech martens share a range with pine martens (Martes martes) and look a lot like them, but you can tell them apart by their fur: while pine martens have a reddish undercoat and a yellow, solid “bib” on their chest, beech martens have a distinctive grayish undercoat and a forked, white bib, which you can see very well on this little guy!
Of course, different individuals might have naturally lighter or darker coats and, depending on the lighting, beech martens can look pretty warm brown. There’s another handy detail you can look at to easily differentiate between beech martens and pine martens, though:
Their noses match their coats! Beech martens’ noses range from light brown to pink and pine martens’ noses range from dark brown to black.
