There was really no winning that one
anyone else feel like they’re constantly in a state of doing and folding and putting away laundry

Oh you don't like it when I refer to myself as queer? Well now I'm a tranny and a faggot.
#okay hear me out: Im transmasc and i self identify as a faggot because it just feels so powerful to take the word back#like i can feel my gay forefathers cheering and idk how else to say it but i know they're proud#i would never call someone else that unless they wanted to be called it but like its empowering for me personally
I really want to like this video, but we have giant isopods (Bathynomus giganteus) at our local aquarium and I learned about their stressed behaviors and the poor fella is hella stressed. Giant isopods they only move to eat or escape predators because they need to conserve energy. Two of them were swimming which means they're probably quite stressed.
Plus taking them out of the water is the biggest problem here because the live in extremely cold water so it's probably also overheating. Hell, oceanic hermit crabs try to escape your hand's warmth even if you're holding them under water and they live in relatively warm water in comparison to giant isopods.
Educating children and introducing them to oceanic life is important, but not at the cost of the animal's comfort and safety.
Gosh! That’s horrid, I had no idea! D:
If you're wondering what proper giant isopod education and interaction entails and maybe need a pick me up, the Monterey Bay aquarium has a monitored touchpool with 4 isopods to gently pet so no one isopod gets too stressed, the water is absolutely frigid (which also helps with keeping people from bothering them too much) and they are never picked up, unless it's by a trained individual. They feel like sandpaper btw.
They're my favorite aquarium because I am biased and because they help do research on the animals they keep. When possible they try to rescue animals and only keep ones that are unreleasable and/or breed them so they aren't pulling animals from the wild as much as possible and because captive bred animals experience less stress in displays.
Once again a win for Monterey Bay Aquarium! Good for them and good for their isopods. :>
Get you one who can do both 😍

You run a café on the edge of life and death. Souls who have been departed from their bodies temporarily, such as in comas or near-death experiences, can relax in your quaint cafe for as long as they need before they can either return to their bodies or begin their journey to the afterlife.
whats cool about being trans is my parents are totally right. i did kill their beautiful son. im the thing that animates his corpse in an ever more convincing parody of a happy girl. i devoured him from the inside out and now there is nothing left of him and he is dead dead dead and there is only me, with my hollow eyes and dark eyeliner and long hair, and my big smile. my limp, effeminate gestures belie the marionetting of the boy they loved. my fagginess is his death. already his body becomes a fitter home for my parasitism in full; the tits, the hips, the thighs. sorry about your kid. thanks for the biomass <3
"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.
Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.
We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.
I love when people are excited over the small things in life. I'm so happy you got that plushie you wanted. I adore that you got a cool yo-yo. I'm proud of you for finding joy in a new hobby. Keep enjoying life!
me: I have such a great story idea, it came to me in the middle of the night, the concept is so cool and it all makes so much sense!!!
friend: Nice, tell me about it!
me: *thinks about the story idea objectively for 2 seconds*
me:
it bums me out seeing people insisting characters that make them happy would hate them. that is the devil speaking directly to you do not listen that funny cartoon guy would love you
this notion that if you're an adult still on tumblr it's bc something is wrong doesn't sit right with me... unfortunately I can't refute it bc there is something wrong with me
