Wtf bats swim

Here’s another little-known bat fact:

Orphaned baby bats are often swaddled tightly like teeny burritos to mimic being cuddled by mom and help ease separation anxiety.

They also seem to find pacifiers soothing.

I’m pretty sure I’ve posted on this before, but there’s always someone who hasn’t heard about this before. Plus, I’ll happily take any excuse I can to post cute baby animal pics (especially when they’re wrapped like tiny furry burritos) :)

I too need to be swaddled like a burrito to ease separation anxiety

Reminder that it really doesn’t matter what ways you’re marginalized, if you’re not black you’re just as capable of anti blackness as white cishet people. No amount of “but I’m gay!”, “but I’m trans!”, or “but I’m not white!” changes that.

And being neurodiverse/disabled isn’t an excuse for anti blackness either.

Don’t like this post if you’re not gonna also reblog it.

Boost my voice, don’t just like it for woke points.

I’d fucking love it if white people didn’t use this post to pat themselves on the back. I guarantee that no amount of “don’t people know this already?” or “isn’t this obvious?” will actually make you a good ally to black people.

The only things that will make you a good ally to us is listening to us, boosting our voices, defending us when we need it, calling out your fellow whites when they display overt and/or covert racist behavior, and checking yourself consistently.

Maybe it’s just my particular part of time and space I’m operating in but when I was living in girl mode I only ever heard one time someone suggest that I shave my legs or something but now that I’m boy every time someone finds out that I shave my armpits like their eyes glow and their kill switch gets activated.

A person presenting as a man? Shaving armpits? Hide the children!

Couldn’t tell ya but for some reason it’s one of the few bits of gender conformity that my (feminist) family feels very strongly about. And also more than half of my friends. I don’t know what’s so universally disturbing about smooth man pits but there you go.

It might just be me but I think everyone should shave. If you’re a women go you for not shaving but personally I think it’s kind of nasty. I have the utmost respect for women who don’t shave but like I wouldn’t do it ya know. And that’s the same for men if you don’t shave good for you but I prefer guys that do shave.

Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire

Reblog to actually save a life

To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it

as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion

Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER! I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.

Cannot overstate how important this is. Baking soda also does a good trick, but this is still just so, so important!!

unpopular opinion but i think the film and tv industries should have better labor laws even if it makes it harder or impossible to depict certain things

i dont care if it makes it harder to produce game of thrones or whatever, acting should not leave women traumatized

Okay I know this is about acting and people are getting more traction about it (sexuality safety coordinators are a job! yell about them. demand your shows get them) but

Any person who has worked on a set for more than a few years has at least one person they know who died.  

Not usually on set, but afterwards.  Because we don’t have anyone shutting down production for unsafe practices when “unsafe” means 16 hour days.  Or more.  For weeks.  Finishing a day before hour 12 (not including lunch) is considered an early leave.

I had teachers tell us not to, unless we absolutely had to, take music video gigs because they’ll work you for 24 hours and send you to drive home.  And if we had to work that, pull over and nap in our car because multiple people per year fall asleep at the wheel and go over the canyons around LA.

I know you mean acting but please.  Don’t forget the crew.  We have a shockingly high rate of suicide because these working schedules leave us with no sleep, no time outside of work, and it destroys lives, relationships, and families.  Burnout is high.  Chronic illness and broken bodies are common.  Cocaine use in order to get through a 20 hour day is rampant.  Every single one of your reality shows is fueled by cocaine.

The number of days that are scheduled to shoot a feature has shrunk dramatically in the past two decades.  Which means longer days.

Netflix shows are notorious for being poorly organized, understaffed, and long days.

There are labor laws but what they do is levy fines.  Those fines are either factored into budget, people are bullied into not reporting actual hours, or crew members see them as incentive to take those jobs because more money and cost of living is high.  (Also this industry has a crew culture of dick measuring by sticking your wang in a blender and boasting about how many 100 hour weeks you pulled.)

this can be applied for people working in animation as well. Like I know people who work at Pixar and they straight up work 12 hour days and go into work on weekends to meet their deadlines. The incredibles 2 made over a billion dollars and Pixar still cut jobs due to “budget”. The entertainment industry is a business at the end of the day. There here to make money and they are going to do it at the expense of workers because they know no one is going to do anything about it.

This is why I get pissy when people have a go about British TV shows only producing 10-12 episodes per season at most, instead of 24. Do you know why? Because the UK has fucking labour laws.

When I worked on BBC Causalty, as soon as it hit 5pm, everything stopped. The producer/director etc would have a quick meeting to decide if we’d go into overtime or schedule it in later in the week. And I got an extra payslip in the mail for every minute of overtime I did, even though I was paid a weekly rate.

I don’t care if it means producing less content. I don’t care if it means it costs twice as much - if treating your creatives and your crew like shit is needed to make your show, then your show doesn’t deserve to get made.

And that’s aside from the fact that actors are often exploited, neglected, coerced into doing scenes they’re uncomfortable with etc or outright abused by directors for the sake of ~performance.

No art is worth that.

the way to determine if a cishet white man is decent or not is if he’s gone through an emo phase or not

It’s time y’all get it thru ur thick ass skulls that trans butches like me exist and we’re just as valid as tme butches. a trans woman is allowed to be as gnc as they want too, we’re allowed to use what pronouns we want to, we’re allowed to date and love who we want to, we’re allowed to love ourselves and our bodies and present how we want to. Trans butches deserve to feel beloved, stop treating us as lesser.

just came up with a story idea,, a gay love story between the new court jester and the young prince (but he doesn’t know how to come out to people) so they run away to live a new life together as pheasants on a farm <3

PEASANTS NOT BIRDS UGH

Idk gay birds is good

you know what?  at some point they go to a witch to live as peasants but the witch is only doing contact free spells (because of the plague) so she has a suggestion box type thing and they’re both kinda illiterate so they say they’d like to live as pheasants and they become these

and then they’re trying to find the witch/redo the spell(who has taken advantage of the plague and social distancing to go on holiday in her little hut in the woods) and the prince’s evil cousin or something takes over and then they get sidetracked trying to bring down the government/monarchy because fuck that and the witch finally gets back to them and they turn back into humans then (but like really fucking sick looking humans!) and overthrow the government together and then they like get a farm and uhhhhhhh anarchy <3 and then they like .  kiss <3 <3 <3
