next person who implies that me not feeling the need to officially “come out” means i’m “in the closet” is getting smacked on the head. stop trying to fit me in ur dichotomy of “closeted” vs “out.” stop. i reject ur closet. it does not exist to me. i literally do not care if people know my sexuality and i’m sure as hell not going to define myself by whether or not they know it. i’m not closeted! i’m not out! i’m literally just chilling!
I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.
If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.
If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.
If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.
We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.
My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.
we all make fun of Zuko for “that’s rough buddy” but like. how the fuck are you supposed to respond when someone just nonchalantly says “my girlfriend turned into the moon”
This is specifically against the tories, marginal constituencies where the 2nd biggest party is also a left leaning party [e.g. Labour vs Plaid] is not included.
- This is a tactical voting post. I’m promoting tactical voting, in a dream world we would be able to vote who we liked and get proportional representation but we don’t live in that world and this general election is too important to get all cry baby about that.
These are the most marginal seats. TO CHECK YOUR AREA THE WEBSITE IS TACTICAL.VOTE
PLEASE VOTE!
EDIT: Sorry, I’ve just realised that I’ve made a really stupid mistake. Angela Crawley is the SNP MP for Lanark and Hamilton East. It’s actually a three way battle between SNP, Conservative and Labour, in that order, and it’s REALLY close, all three parties are in the 16,000’s, best bet is to vote SNP but please try to convince adamant non SNP voters away from voting tory.
women are socialized to be so accommodating of others and you don’t even realize it until you’re already in the middle of some elaborate favor for someone and you’re wondering what the fuck you’re even doing
I missed the apocalypse since my phone was on silent.
This is funny to me because in 2018 there was that false alarm missile threat in Hawaii and I had been away at the time but when I moved back I was talking to my friends about it and a few of them were like “ oh yeah, I didn’t even see the warning I slept through it” so they totally would have missed the apocalypse
thinkin about my (openly gay) lit professor today saying, “one of my favorite historical anecdotes is the time that Oscar Wilde was in America, at the same time that Walt Whitman was active and writing poems about sticking his tongue down other men’s shirts, and Wilde went to Whitman’s house exactly one time and spent several hours there, and ever since all these historians have been like ‘what could they have been doing???? it’s such a shame we’ll never know…’ and I just…. we know. the only question now is who was the top.”
