This is how assholes online sound when they harass poor people for wanting nice things

cognitive dissonance is an active force

When you’re sorting the tank filters and a big boye wants cuddles.

“Gotta make sure they are cherished”

Someone with a degree in biology please explain this, is the grouper really cruising for cuddles or are we misinterpreting its behavior?

Because it looks awful cuddly is what I’m saying

Fish are WILDLY intelligent and many are so social that they naturally have social behaviors for interacting with other different species as a whole reef-wide community!! When it comes to interaction with humans, many fish can learn to recognize specific humans and increasingly seek attention such as scratches, rubs and simple play behaviors!

@linddzz can you confirm the fishy desire for skritches?

I’ve had a 4ft goliath grouper come up to me and stare reproachfully until I started giving her scritches and gravel showers. Picking up handfuls of the gravel and gently dropping it over their back is a nice fish massage. We encourage the behavior bc it’s a great time to check over them for any health concerns.

Also this looks like maybe a diver helping with a gravel vac tube. Basically a big siphon used to take junk out of the bottom of tanks.

But yeah this is pretty standard grouper neediness lmao

My betta fish used to love getting little pets

I’ve had 5-6 bettas over the years that have enjoyed cuddles. Half of those would do just about anything to swim into my hand or butt up against my fingers during tank cleaning to “ask” for attention. Fish are smart and some species are very, very sweet if they happen to imprint on you.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

The full picture is even more heart breaking after you open the uncropped version. Just a heads-up, it's rough

Nah let’s post it. Let’s feel it. Don’t look away.

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

Reblog this or just stop following me

I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.

never watched a single tom hardy project but i stan him bc of these two images

the one addition that truly makes this clip even more powerful is knowing that Mr Sterling is this guy:

I am in awe trying to imagine the sheer levels of non sequiturs they would be able to produce together.

New reaction meme just dropped

Audience note from test screening of VIDEODROME, 1983

This person hated videodrome so much they forgot their gender

werewolves are the best because they can be about womanhood or transness or morality or self-image or any type of Otherness. alienation. being afraid of yourself. society being afraid of you. finding your true self. becoming free.

Rosemary? You mean spicy pine needles?

Are you insinuating that regular pine needles aren't spicy???

Regular pine needles are regular

Not by rosemary standards

...Have you eaten pine needles?

We've been friends for like four years, do you seriously have to ask if I've eaten pine needles or not

I mean I’m pretty sure you have but I don’t want to assume

Of course I've eaten pine needles. Various kinds. Singleleaf pinyon is weirdly the best

Are they...

You know, I'd love to tell you but I'm pretty unclear about what marks the difference between "spice" and "strong-tasting plant that isn't considered a spice"

I’ll have to eat some pine needles myself then to find out

Ok but it only counts if they're PINE needles and not just any old needle-like leaf off a tree

I’m going to eat every needle-like leaf I see

Please Don't Do That

Needle-Like Leaf Roulette

...I'll accept this plan as long as you promise not to eat any yew leaves.

I can try very hard not to

Pine needles are distinguished by the presence of a sheath-like structure at the base of the leaf, almost always holding bundles of two or more leaves. Yews don't have the sheath thing

It’s time for me to go out into the woods and stare at needle leaves

Finally you can gain real insight into my average daily life

this conversation reads like two shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief and then are never heard from again

I made another comic

Must reblog every October

I’m somewhat a jack of all trades

Wait

i’m thinking about that post about how nature is healing with every update in minecraft

minecraft 1.12: more color than ever is brought to minecraft! parrots can be found in the jungle now!

minecraft 1.13: life has returned to the ocean! dolphins and fish and corals and sea pickles and vibrance!

minecraft 1.14: the villagers are remembering their culture and their craft! they’re more advanced than ever!

minecraft 1.15: bee :)

minecraft 1.16: there’s even life in the nether now! a somewhat-thriving society of piglins is there, there’s animals like striders and hoglins, and even forests of fungi!

minecraft 1.17: life is even occurring deep underground! axolotls are swimming around in the caves, new plantlife can be found stored away, and beautiful geodes adorn the underground!

minecraft 1.18: horror and evil and darkness. giant gashes in the world and looming mountains. hideous monster at the bottom of the caves. fucked up evil slime that wants to hurt you. kill kill violence murder kill

What would good be if there was no equal evil to compare it too?

i only have minecraft 1.14 and i played 1.16 for like an hour. what ungodly beings were conjured in 1.18 and where can i see them

this is the Warden! it kills you in one hit and has more health than the ender dragon :) it’s entirely blind so if you hold sneak it will never hurt you because it can’t hear you. it lives at the very bottom of the world (world depth has increased and now the world goes down to -64) where there are a lot more diamonds but also a lot more dangers.

it will come for you if you place blocks, break blocks, walk, eat, and pretty much anything else. wool, however, is very quiet, so you can place it and break it all you want, and it even blocks soundwaves from reaching the warden :)

it’s debated as to whether or not those things in its chest cavity are souls or hearts. when asked about it, the dev who made the warden said “they certainly do look like souls, and they certainly do beat like hearts”

this is the Sculk! it’s the evil slime at the bottom of the world that lives with the warden. it will snitch on you to the warden. also it screams when broken.

US police killings have been undercounted by at least 17,000 over the last 40 years. A new study confirms that at least half of the people killed by police were never counted. This is groundbreaking data that reveals a truer scope of death caused by police.
