what was the name of the fish my geology teacher called “bad dude” because i put bad dude in my notes and have no idea what the real name is
update:
this is the bad dude
it’s called dunkleosteus and it’s basically a tank with teeth
that is one bad dude
slam dunkleosteus
Interestingly, though the genus is named after a guy called Dunkle, if you break down the etymology of that name, dunkleosteus works out to something like “Dark Bone”.
So not only do they look like something you’d fight in a JRPG bonus dungeon, they’re named appropriately, too!
Instead of telling yourself, “I should get up,” or “I should do this,”
Ask yourself, “When will I get up?” or “When will I be ready to do this?”
Instead of trying to order yourself to feel the signal to do something, which your brain is manifestly bad at, listen to yourself with compassionate curiosity and be ready to receive the signal to move when it comes.
Things I did not actually realize was an option
What’s amazing is what happens when you do this with children. I hit on it when working at the foster home, where nearly all our kids were on the autism spectrum, and they weren’t “defiant” around me because I said things like, “How long do you need to stand here before we can move?” and “Come into the kitchen when you’re ready” instead of saying, “Stop staring out the window, let’s go,” or “Come eat dinner,” and interpreting hesitation as refusal to obey.
