math people scare me. math people will be like “math works in mysterious ways TO YOU. i get it though.” and they do and it’s fucking terrifying.

and if you ask them to elaborate they will but then you’ll wish they didn’t

I miss the cinema. I miss expensive popcorn and sneaking in my own candy and finding the perfect spot with my loved ones and watching the trailers for new movies and being quiet for two whole hours with a bunch of strangers as we all get to experience the same thing at the same time :(

What people think this means “I’ll use this as an excuse to do whatever I want all day instead of committing to other things that need to be done”

What it actually means “I’ll be obsessively checking the clock all day because I’m constantly worried I’ll be late if I don’t. I also worry that if I commit to doing anything else important that day it’ll distract me from the time and I’ll miss the appointment. This will be a day filled with anxiety and in no way relaxing until the appointment is over with"

I just remembered that apes smile when hostile. This isn’t a happy scene. This monkey has full meter and a full screen projectile in it’s move list. This is an invitation to death.

Humans have this distress response too! If you watch the smaller of their young you will spot the occasional baring of teeth in upsetting situations. You can see this with adult humans as well, but it’s harder to catch because they have a fairly deep somatic vocabulary assigned to smiles; it is probably easiest to recognise after minor injury like stubbing a toe or receiving an injection.

It’s a lot of fun comparing how related species have related behaviours, and also neat to contrast how they have specialised them!

this is interesting but 

If you watch the smaller of their young

why did you word it like that

Thanks for the question! My area of expertise is more generally avian than it is  mammalian (or primate), so I don’t really know the technical nomenclature for the specific stage of human offspring development I mean to communicate. 

With the vocabulary I have the closest I can get semantically is ‘mid-nestling to fledgling fresh-fallen from the nest’ but the concepts don’t quite map to how human offspring develop. Another way to phrase it is able to move around under their own power but still heavily dependent on parental intervention for survival.

Hope this helps clear things up! Have a nice day :)

You studied birds so long you forgot that the word toddler exists and I think that’s just delightful.

If you’ve ever worked in customer service, you yourself have made this exact face and know the true threat behind it.

Are we just gonna fuckin ignore the alien

Breonna Taylor has not received justice.

Her case is closed, her family is 12 MILLION dollars richer for it

Breonna Taylor was murdered by police on March 13, 2020.

Breonna Taylor has not received justice.

It’s the 3rd of March, 2021

Breonna Taylor was MURDERED by POLICE on the 13th of March, 2020

Her family were paid off with 12 million dollars

No amount of money is worth a human life

Breonna Taylor has NOT received justice and probably never will

They really went “Well, they got paid off!” as if money erases the fact that the justice system is a fucking failure.

Today is March 4th. Breonna Taylor was murdered by police on March 13th, 2020.

Breonna Taylor has not received justice.

If it helps it helps

I swear to god I will never forget my sister unpacking her stuff from that big black trash bag when she moved in with us. JFC. She never complained or said anything but I remember. I remember clothes and journals and little bits and bobs spilling onto the carpet because she couldn’t really keep it closed. I remember and it wasn’t even my life.

Please donate your luggage to foster kids and any kid you know who may have to leave home but isn’t officially in the system (because they’re out there too). Anything you can do matters.

“Don’t take it to Goodwill” is good advice in general, but yeah.

Also you can donate your old cell phones to domestic violence places.
