this is so bad and ugly and cheap. i’m fascinated

Why does Bruce get to be ‘ugly’??? Why can’t SheHulk be ugly too??? Instead she’s a green Smurf

This is especially annoying because they just learned this lesson with Encanto! They were sure no one would like the muscley giant Luisa, and then her merch flew off the fucking shelves. These dipshits cant find a lesson to learn if it hits them in the face with a shovel.

Jellyfish Lake in Palau. Apparently the jellies have lost their ability to sting because of lack of predators in the lake and you can swim with them!

BUCKET LIST.

WAIT BUT THAT’S NOT EVEN THE COOLEST PART: These jellyfish carry small populations of algae inside their bodies and derive much of their nutrition from the sugars that the algae produce. The jellyfish follow the sun across the lake each day and rotate continuously, so that the algae are always getting maximum sunlight exposure for photosynthesis. Then at night they dive to deeper parts of the lake so the algae can absorb nitrogen. It’s one of the best examples of endosymbiosis in action and it’s KICKASS.

This is the funniest and most thoughtful I’ve ever seen an organization use a meme and it’s good people with good goals who don’t just want your money on top of it

For those of you who aren’t aware the Monterey Bay Aquarium is actually a really cool place!

• they are non-profit

• they have a living kelp forest!

• it focuses on local ocean wildlife

• they were the first aquarium to get a great white shark to eat and they are the only public aquarium to display a great white shark for more than sixteen days

• they have a seafood watch program where they promote sustainable seafood

• they are actively fighting against ocean pollution

So yeah support them, they’re awesome and I love them

"Even limiting heating to below 2°C, a level of heating that in my opinion could threaten civilization as we know it, would require emissions to peak before 2025. As UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in the press conference on Monday: “Investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is moral and economic madness.” And yet, this is precisely what President Biden, most other world leaders, and major banks are doing. It’s no exaggeration to say that Chase and other banks are contributing to murder and neocide through their fossil fuel finance."

I’ve seen someone disagree with “And your kid is not your best friend.“ and there’s something that needs to be clarified here.

If a parent unloads their emotional baggage to their child and expects that child to carry them like another adult, that’s where a line should be drawn. A child or a teenager would feel flattered and would try to do their best. But in the long run, it’s going to exhaust them when the parent should be the one taking care of them emotionally too (and not just physically).  

The parent would also develop a codependent relationship with their child, expecting them to drop everything to take care of their needs. When their kid, even upon growing, would need to be their own person someday. 

That parent needs to have an adult friend of their own. 

You can be your child’s best friend, but your child should not be your best friend.

You, as the parent, are an adult capable of dealing with your child’s emotional needs. Your child, as a child, is not equipped to deal with your adult emotional needs. That’s the difference.
