biologist:
Like literally the only reason we didn’t go extinct is because we are aggressively social creatures who community organized and helped each other when faced with disasters that drove other species over the brink.
(Like we’re so aggressively social that we looked at APEX PREDATORS and went ‘they look soft! Friend????’)
(The answer was yes because wolves are also aggressively social and they adopted the strange tall not-wolves just as eagerly.)
humans @ wolves: holy shit these things are so cute i wonder if they’ll let us pet them?

i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time
Tony emerging from the rubble of a whole ass moon that Thanos just threw at him and saying “If you throw another moon at me I’m going to flip” is such a power move.
Thanos: you’re going to lose
Tony: bitch throw another moon at me again and we’ll see which one of us loses u lilac motherfuck
The right is all about free speech until Michelle Wolf gives a moderately funny but extremely cutting stand up set to a room of rich bastards and suddenly free speech is secondary to civility and “a unifying message”
So to be clear: advocating ethnic genocide, misogyny, and war are all totally covered by free speech, but a comedian making fun of the government, the press who profits off of it, and reminding the world that flint still doesn’t have water is somehow going just a bit to far. Weird.
I’m starting to think y’all don’t really care about free speech after all and just wanna advocate for fascism without anyone telling you you’re a prick. Fucking alt right snowflakes. Toughen up.
Loki really has the best character arc in the MCU.
In Thor, we see years of seething envy, spill out, magnified by the revelation that he is both adopted and a Jötunn; all of his insecurities seemingly confirmed and justified.
In Avengers, we see him at his rawest, and angriest after the events of Thor.
In The Dark World, we start to see the cracks in the facade of cold villainy. The shock at Odin’s condemnation, his intense love for his mother and the grief at her death, and above all, his clear happiness and excitement to be adventuring with Thor again. I left the theatre with the feeling that his warm praise of Thor in Odin’s guise might actually have been sincere.
In Thor Ragnarok, three things happen; Odin finally tells Loki he loves him. Thor and Loki become equals in a secret that Odin withheld from them both. Most importantly, Loki, who has felt like he was second best his entire life, finally realises that someone always loved him more than anyone else, and that it was Thor the whole time.
Which brings us back to Infinity War. At long last, Loki no longer feels aggrieved, and is comparatively content with his place in the universe. He dies defending the one thing left in the world that he loves.
That there is brilliant character writing and acting.
Hey guys the Seminole Tribe of Florida has officially stated Cesar Sayoc, the Republican terrorist who was sending pipe bombs around is NOT a member of the tribe, has never been, and his claims as such are FALSE. [Link]
it is tiring, being endless political just as someone existing. my teacher asks me if i’m writing more of that “feminist poetry.” a lot of it is just talking about me, being a woman, being afraid in the city. i write about walking a line, about how i am expected to choose between home and work, how each comes with a slew of its own insults; how it feels when i am wearing shorts and there are too many men outside. these are just facts of my life. someone in the comments says, “where are woman even coming up with these crazy generalizations in their feminism?”
i hold hands with the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen and someone sighs when they see me. “do they have to make everything gay?” she asks her friend, loudly, “like, do you have to force those views in my face all the time?” i can’t stop blushing. my girlfriend holds my fingers tighter, tighter, tighter, until my knuckles are white, and i let her. somehow, this is us, protesting.
my father’s cuban blood stains my skin, i think. when i am honored with a position in the dean’s private council, a boy sneers, “you only got in because you’re hispanic.” did i? i spend the rest of our meetings wondering if i was selected for my stellar academic record, for the multiple recommendations, for the clubs i lead – or if i was just a move the dean made, to make use of me. when we all take a picture, the dean brings me in the front. in the first three we take, i am not smiling.
it is odd. “i exist.” i say, “i deserve to exist.”
“oh my god,” he groans, “we get it, you’re a feminist.”
