A few months ago my mom got our dog a really nice like $60 dog bed that Ellie just absolutely refuses to sleep in because she’d rather be in bed with my mom or on the couch. So my mom gave Josh and I the bed to see if Vincent would like it and it’s an immediate hit, he jumped in as soon as I put it down and won’t move
I’ve never seen this cat knead before and now he can’t stop!

Listen, if Toph had went off on her own for a while in Ba Sing Se there is no way she wouldn't vibe with Zuko.
"Welcome to Pao's Family tea shop, I'm Li, waddaya want?"
"Chaos."
"Understandable. Sadly, that's not on the menu. Would you settle for a cup of Jasmine tea?"
"Sure."
Jet, bursting into the tea shop: THOSE TWO ARE FIRE BENDERS! Toph, interrupting Zuko who is about go attack this mouth wheat boy: And where’s your proof? Jet, suspiciously: I saw the old man with a hot cup of tea right after he complained that it was cold? Toph, about to cause some chaos: Then clearly, you need your eyes checked. Toph, gesturing to Iroh: This man is a Water Bender.
THIS MAN IS A WATERBENDER
wait i wanna add to this - so toph can tell when people lie, right? so she can probably feel zuko's heart racing when jet accuses them of being firebenders. also, she would've met iroh by this point
so im imagining she's like "okay. 2 firebenders. in a shop in the earth kingdom. but the old man is nice and wants better things for his nephew so honestly this checks out. yeah im gonna meddle"
That is 100% the thought process
Jet tries to argue that he heated his tea again.
“I know a waterbender and she can turn water into ice, who says they can’t make liquids hotter too?”
Jet has no argument.
He doesn’t have an argument cuz he knows the Water Bender Toph knows and has FELT her turn water to ice
Terror fills his body as he realizes that if Toph, who knows Katara, is friends with Li, then KATARA must be friends with Li TOO.
Toph can feel his fear, and she is living for it
people today with access to more raw information than any other period: the earth is flat
german artilleryman in 1916, who barely washes his own ass: I need to account for the curvature and rotation of the earth when plotting my firing plans
Eratosthenes, an Egyptian, in 3750 BC when fucking mammoths hadn’t even gone extinct yet: Oh hey I can use these two obelisks to calculate the earth’s entire circumference based on the length of their shadows and the Earth’s curvature. Neat.
Erastothenes was born in 276 BCE.
The last mammoth died on in island off the northeast coast of Siberia in ~1650BCE.
And as I’ve pointed out previously, the Coriolis effect was known even earlier than that, although it may not have become important to gunnery.
I find it utterly bizarre that humans saw these megafauna.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/science/woolly-mammoth-extinct-genetics.html “ In fact, the Wrangel mammoth’s genome carried so many detrimental mutations that the population had suffered a “genomic meltdown,” according to Rebekah Rogers and Montgomery Slatkin of the University of California, Berkeley. Analyzing the Swedish team’s mammoth data at the gene level, they found that many genes had accumulated mutations that would have halted synthesis of proteins before they were complete, making the proteins useless, they report Thursday in PLOS Genetics. “ That “genomic meltdown” is one of the reasons feminism is so potentially lethal, because they keep pushing for asexual reproduction, or trying to combine ovaries, when the most likely outcome is a population running about - unable to reproduce sexually since the whole “male genocide” bit - with incredibly damaged chromosomes. Sex exists for a reason, and no, “because it’s fun” is not the answer, sorry. It works better than reproduction otherwise. Which is why every complex species uses it. Intelligence requires a lot of things to be working correctly, and if you have an all female species that is over the tipping point of idiocy, then there won’t be enough people to maintain the technology to continue to reproduce. And humans will go the way of the Wrangel beasties. Fortunately, feminists are horribly lazy bastards, so i doubt they’ll continue to get their way, but it does made for a decent plot for a dystopian fiction…
What …the fuck?
That went off the rails so suddenly like I thought I was just gonna learn something cool about mammoths and then WHOA.
I scrolled past this thinking “the earth is round, yes, something, something, mammoths…’
But the second time it came past I saw
That “genomic meltdown” is one of the reasons feminism is so potentially lethal
And I think I got whiplash from that pivot. I also laughed so hard that I couldn’t breathe.
I’m????
Point and laugh at the MRA, kids.
How … does he think … mammoths reproduced …
Never mind, not sure I want to know.

I… what exactly is combining ovaries supposed to achieve? 400 lazy feminist babies at the same time?
Shhhh…you weren’t supposed to tell anyone.
FEMINISM KILLED THE MAMMOTHS
I feel like we’re getting away from the main point here, which is that the world is flat
the world is only flat because it was trampled by feminist mammoths
reblog if you support your army of genetically-melted feminist mammoths that trampled the earth flat
Don’t anybody tell this guy about that species of lizard where there are only females it might break him
My head hurts after reading that.

I teach genetics, I don’t deserve to have to explain why this is so wrong and yet. Oh my god.
I reblogged this before but I have to do so again because of the above takedown with its glorious insults. Also, it’s always fun to point and laugh at MRAs.
I am in awe.
“Mueller’s Ratchet kind of presupposes that going in and manually editing a genome isn’t a fucking option, shitwad!” and “you pathetic snailsucking weed in the garden of knowledge” are honestly awe-inspiring and I’m fucking blessed I read them today
This is beautiful
It’s been long enough since I last saw this post that I’d nearly forgotten and it still fucking hit me like a goddamn freight train.

‘oh hey that’s funny :D man, flat-earth sure is one of the stranger conspiracy theories isn’t it. ooh who was Eratosthenes? i should look him up! and now we’re talking about mammoths, cool , i love mam

now this… this is a post on tumblr dot com
i’m still sad Eratosthenes missed out on the mammoths by like >< much
When I was “I want him” about a male character im not saying I wanna fuck him. I want him like a spoiled little girl wants a pony, I want to him so I can put him on my shelf for safekeeping, I want him like a good hearty stew on a winter’s evening, I want to put him in a jar and shake it.
respectfully i don't think you can do all that with a pony either
if MLP reddit taught me anything it’s that you can in fact put a pony in a jar– but you really, really should not.
I'm imagining if tolkien lived now and publishers were asking him if he had enough followers on twitter and if he could film videos to market his found family elfcore magic cottagevibes worldbuilding fantasy book on tiktok. i think he would run them over with his car actually

I honestly think that the lack of non-sexual nudity in public spaces has done horrific damage to American society.
We deeply struggle to understand the natural diversity of bodies because we only see naked bodies in a sexual context. We are taught that seeing nudity is somehow inherently harmful, especially to children. We struggle to differentiate between sexually suggestive and sexually explicit material.
It fucks up the way people think about and talk about sex ed. It fucks up the way people think about and talk about breast feeding. It fucks up the way people think about and talk about queer folks. It feeds into fatphobia and ableism and is all rooted in this deeply harmful puritanism.
Like, I need people to understand that seeing a bare titty in public is not going to hurt a child. Seeing a man in a banana hammock isn't inherently traumatizing. I would argue, in fact, that adults treating those things as dangerous and gross and scary is going to do way more damage to a kid's psychology than seeing the nudity in the first place.
"Wanting to expose myself to children isn't the problem, its you being upset that I wanna expose myself to children that's the problem"
See, this is what I'm talking about. Nothing I said in this post is about *doing* anything *to* children, and the fact that you cannot imagine a scenario where a person might be unclothed that doesn't directly involving harming children isn't healthy.
This post is about breast feeding. It's about nude beaches. It's about clothing optional saunas and onsens. It's about the changing room at the gym. Settings in which some *non-sexual* nudity can and do exist.
This post isn't about "oh wow, I sure do want to be naked around kids for nefarious and predatory reasons." It's about how our culture's insistence that ALL nudity, regardless of context and setting, MUST be sexual and MUST be predatory is divorced from reality and leads to unhealthy mindsets surrounding our bodies and the bodies of others.
You literally mentioned it not being harmful to kids you fucking retarded pedo
Yes there exists settings where nudity is non-sexualized, most people understand this, however mentioning children makes it incredibly suspicious. Who the hell thinks of children in the context of nude beaches, gym changing rooms or saunas?
See, but it's not suspicious. One of the main pearl-clutching arguments about any nudity or even just less conservative clothing is the "think of the children!" fear mongering. That seeing a person breast feeding a baby in public or seeing a man in a thong is somehow inherently traumatizing. I'm literally just referencing and responding to the most common puritan argument against non-sexual nudity.
In countries that have them, children can go to saunas. Children can go to onsens. Children can use the changing room at public pools and gyms. Most nude beaches around the world don't have any kind of age requirement. Because in these places, there is an understanding that these are not sexual settings, and trying to have sex in those places would be seen as deeply, deeply inappropriate.
Again, the idea that nudity of any kind is only appropriate for adults is leaning on the assumption that nudity is somehow inherently sexual and harmful to children. (Which feeds into so many toxic and harmful mindsets. That people wearing skimpy clothing are 'asking for' sexual attention, that only people who are 'sexy' should wear the kind of clothing that shows skin.) It creates a culture of shame and secrecy about all aspects of your body, which really fucks with our sex ed and body image. It negatively affects people's willingness and ability to care for their loved ones as they age. Read through the tags on this post, and do so without the assumption that anyone who isn't a pearl clutching puritan is a fucking sex criminal.
You had me until you decided to say that having men in thongs around children is okay.
Explain to me why you think children being in the same area as someone wearing a particular style of swimsuit (one that still completely convers the genitals even) is "not ok"?
hey so what the fuck was this about
