I wish it was more normalized or talked about here that it’s okay not to be sure of or know your gender/sexual identity, especially young people and teenagers.

I think there is sometimes a vibe of ~your gender/sexuality will be obvious to you~ at a young age, and that’s not true for a lot of people. Heck sometimes you realize that what you labeled yourself before or thought you were turns out to not fit yourself after all, and that’s perfectly okay and you’re not bad for being “wrong” cause this stuff can be difficult to figure out.

“Coffee shop AUs redefine escapism from wild fantasies about dragons and space travel to the comforting ideal of having a steady job and supportive relationships. For a generation who came of age during the Great Recession, living in a time of constant political trauma, it’s not hard to understand the appeal.”

the year is 1888

me, the first palaeontologist to dig up a triceratops skull, whispering softly: what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuckkkk

fun fact: modern paleontologists and archaeologists have pointed to some greek vase art of mythological monsters as being evidence that the greeks dug up dinosaur skulls and were like “what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuckkkk” 

and then they did the Greek Thing and painted naked men fighting the monster 

or, well, a deeply flawed representation of what they imagined the fossil had looked like while alive, an early form of paleoart. 

but sometimes they also just. drew the skull and slapped a black blob monster onto it? anyway i love the greeks.

The vase is a Late Corinthian column krater in the mfa!

And the theory abt the fossils is in Adrienne Mayor’s book The First Fossil Hunters.

I’ve read that Agatha said she loved being married to an archaeologist because the older she got, the more interesting he found her. And I think that is one of the best quotes about love that I have ever heard.

If Batman and Spider-Man switched rogues galleries none of their villains would last more than ten minutes against the new enemy

Batman takes down all of Spider-Man’s villains with ruthless efficiency and preparation

Batman’s villains are all like “TAKE ME SERIOUSLY DAMMIT” and Spider-Man is like “No 😜”

The Joker would have an intense hatred for Spider-Man because Spider-Man is actually funny

That was the exact thought process behind this post

This is…. Absurdly cute. What the fuck.

It’s worth noting that the reason the beaver wants the water to be deeper in the first place is that the Beaver is using the deep water as a pantry:

All summer and fall, beavers gather up branches with the leaves they actually eat, and store it in the deep end of the Pond, where the cold water and limited oxygen keep the leaves fresh all winter, so when it’s negative 20 outside, a beaver can take a dip out of it’s lodge, grab some refrigerated leaves in the (relatively) warmer water and go back to it’s cozy little nap hole while everything else is out there suffering and eating bark or the like.

So it’s less “there’s a leak in my house” and more “OH SHIT THE FRIDGE!!”

Annoying that dairy products are demonized as Unnatural and Disgusting when it’s actually kinda neat that humans figured out a way to fulfill omnivorous nutritional requirements without killing any animals (and populations historically dependent on dairy even evolved lactase persistence!). This is biopunk to me

I’ve seen weird memes and stuff like “Milk is BODILY FLUID that came from a COW” and the fact that people exist that would find this distressing concerns me.
