The catboy is me. Alexander. he/him. white. jewish. autistic. adhd. a minor. part of way too many fandoms. I have a Locked Tomb Trilogy sideblog @bicamillahect, and an Aphmau sideblog, @bi-travlyn (though tbh neither of those are super active). Fun fact: the oldest known lobster was estimnated to be around 140 years old, isn't that cool??

I haven’t stopped laughing at this

hmmm… there’s probably an INFINITELY more humane way to do this…

i get that they’re not killing them and they end up fine, but imagine the trauma of you, a mammal, going through a long ass tube, not knowing what’s going to happen to you, and you can’t breathe. 🤷‍♀️

They get misted with water throughout the thing, and it results in fewer injuries than the ‘ladder’ method. Also, it’s a fish. It never knows what’s going to happen to it at any point in time throughout its life.

Also, I, a mammal, have paid 80 bucks to get into a water park to get the opportunity to feel like that fish, and that motherfucker gets in for free every day is fish day at the fish waterpark

well the MOST humane thing would be to not build dams blocking salmon migration routes, nor create a society where there are only resources allocated to solving the problem at all because blocking the salmon endangers the profits of a segment of the food industry. 

Buuuut since we’re past that already, here are a couple of additional thoughts:

1 this IS the more humane alternative, which was invented to lower injury and death rates associated with previous techniques. When a better alternative is revealed it will probably replace this one. But this one is a pretty huge improvement over the other methods, one of which killed off something like 80% of the fish involved. A study of the above fish tube was conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in 2017 on the Columbia River and showed a much higher success rate. In that study, only one fish died (“due to a human error during the system setup”) and only 3 percent had signs of injury. So. The next best improvement might have to be “remove dam”

2 they are on their way to die. That is where we are helping them get to. That’s the end goal of the salmon’s migration. They on their way to mutate, start rotting alive, have an orgy, and die. That’s where the tube is taking them.

So like, it’s not going to be the weirdest thing they experience this month, is what i’m saying.

I love how many people there are on the Earth because you can think of any type of person and there’s the possibility that they might exist. There could very well be at 90 year old lady that goes into an Urban Outfitters every Friday and buys every item that has to do with weed. It’s likely she doesn’t exist but there’s also the possibility that she does exist, and that excites me

it’s always why the fuck are you making a periodic table blanket and never how was the periodic cloak did you have fun wearing the periodic cloak

day 142

so this is another exercise in just PUSHING shit to make it more expressive

i just threw down the pose on the left and then regardless of whether i felt it was appropriately expressive i just did it again but exaggerated literally everything just a little further

and guess what it looks way more interesting!! a fun little exercise if you ever want to try it out

Okokok here's a question. This is NOT to start any fighting or discourse. Don't even fucking THINK about touching this post if you're trying to start shit. That being said:

Responding to some tags because y'all are wonderful and this has sparked a lot of interesting discussion (sorry for some fucky cropping)

TRANSFEM BUTCHES ARE SO UNDERREPRESENTED I love you transfem butches I'm so glad that this poll has come to your attention. Tbh I feel like half the people in the community forget that transfems butches exist and that makes me so upset. Y'all deserve the entire world.

Literally so true gay man butches are absolutely encouraged to vote in this poll it's not lesbian exclusive, just butch

Also so true. Only YOU can decide whether or not you're butch and to impose butchness on transfeminine people especially who don't identify with it can result in transphobia and misogyny, 100%

And that's ok! You don't have to fully understand your feelings, you have no obligation to do that. However you might be interested in looking into the concept of soft butchness, or even butchness that factors into genderfluidity :) Butchness exists on a spectrum like a lot of other things, and you're free to experiment with that.

Afhakhflskf I will say a surprising amount of non-butches have reblogged this post being very supportive or with good insight BUT I KINDA ASSUMED THAT WOULD HAPPEN TBH... Like if you're gonna vote in the fucking Butch Olympics as a non-butch at least spread the damn post around 😔🙏
