I literally rejoined tumblr after years of escaping this hell-hole of a site just for broody-mcbrood-face-only-owns-one-color-of-clothing-and-it’s-you-guessed-it-black and button-down-vest-wearing-pointy-shoes-sporting-snazzy-pants-fitz-asshole crackship content.
Wow, I ALMOST forgot how much I love their relationship. Rewatched Avatar for the first time in years… my obsession has been reignited 🔥

This Biology Teacher Disproved Transphobia With Science
ALSO:
Sex redefined
“The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.”
More on anti-trans arguments as bad science
As a biologist I am reblogging this so hard.
Biological sex is not and has never been a binary. The complexity of the natural world cannot be contained in neat little societal boxes. Stop using science to justify your bigotry.

based on a true story
I don’t think Fortnite is to blame for kids nowadays not reading…
That’s the joke. It’s the authoritarian overbearing parent.
He was being sarcastic lol
Reminded me of these
That violin one hit close to home.
I remember doing homework once, asked my grandmother if she was proud of me. “Do some thing for me to be proud of.” That hurt.
That comic up there – I witnessed almost that exact scenario. Teacher wanted the kids to all pick books. One kid spots something on the shelf and gets visibly excited. Pulls it out and starts reading. Teacher sees it, snatches it off him and tells him that this is a book for 8 year olds (the kid was 15ish) and tells him to get a book more appropriate for his age. Kid slouches around the shelves for about 10 minutes, finally picks up a book at random and sits in his chair tucking the edges of each page into the binding to make that looped-page look. He didn’t read a word. He sat there and did this to his book for the remainder of the reading session:
He had been genuinely excited about the 8 year old book he’d picked up. It was a new one in a series he used to read as a younger kid. He’d been actively sitting and reading, and then he was embarrassed in front of his classmates, told off for reading a kids book, and voila. He lost all enthusiasm for reading anything else that day.
What’s worse? That kid had been hit by a car like a year and a half earlier. Severe brain trauma. Had to re-learn a lot of basic things, like how to speak and how to read.
An 8 year old book would have been perfect for him. Easy enough to read that it would have helped rebuild his confidence in his own reading ability. A book meant for 15/16 years olds? A lot harder to read than a book for 8 year olds. Especially if you’re recovering from a relatively recent brain injury.
And yeah, the teacher knew all about his brain injury, and the recovery. He just seemed go be of the opinion that the kid was 15, so he should be reading books for 15 year olds, irrespective of brain injury.
Reading this thread I’m reminded of Daniel Pennae’s The Rights of the Reader, which can be found in a lot of bookshops and school libraries:
The child speaking at the bottom in Quentin Blake’s distinctive spiky handwriting is saying ‘10 rights, 1 warning: Don’t make fun of people who don’t read - or they never will’
I remember at one point at my old school, I’d read so much one year for that AR test thing that they banned me from the Library just cause I was reading so much.
LILO & STITCH (2002) dir. Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois
Everybody try and guess what Stitch said.
Nerd Time:
But I think there was actually an article in a Disney Magazine that transcribed a lot of Stitch’s alien language from back in the day that I actually remember reading!
and for some one who grew up watching the Lilo and Stitch TV series it was a godsend (cause Stitch spoke “alien” in the series way more then then english in the TV show for whatever reason, even if he should of been fluent after so much time with Lilo. Smarter then a super computer my left buttcheek I think Stitch is just stubborn)
They only had a few casual words of Tantalog (the language of Jumba’s species that most of the experiments spoke)
I suggest looking up some of the linguistics of Tantalog on the Lilo and Stitch Wiki!
The alphabet is really in depth and they based it on native Hawaiian, Chinese and Chezcreekian.
And I remember being able to understand some of Stitch’s linguistics due from context clues alone.
So long story short:
Meega = Me/I
Nala = either “I want to” or “evil”
Kweesta = “Destroy”
Meega Nala Kweesta = “I want to destroy”
Although, Given the context and the council’s reaction, I think a more appropriate translation is the implied as a direct threat: “I want to destroy all of YOU”
Like “I want to cause problems on purpose/ I will fuck all y’all up”
Also I’m tagging @xryn-art in my rambles. Idk if they even like Lilo and Stitch but I think the Linguistics side of the IZ fandom would find this interesting.
*takes notes*
@abraxaswithaxes its a crime you put this hidden in the tags

The Anatomy of a mermaid
yes, thanks.
i hate when people draws mermaid’s tail like it was some sort of goddamn suit on normal human legs like this:
it just doesnt work
yeah we wouldnt want to make our mermaids too unrealistic
this asks more questions than it answers. they don’t really have vestigial legs, like those aren’t even motile fins, so why do they still have fully formed hips, why hasn’t the pelvic bone changed significantly? and where did the tail come from?
[proto whale]
[orca skelly]
whales as we know them evolved from land animals that went back out to sea, and it’s all spine all the way down to the tail fin. the pelvis is vestigial to the point of being tiny and unrecognizable, and the rear leg structure is //gone//. and by the time they evolved all that, their forelegs had turned into proper fins and they didn’t have hourglass figures, because they built up walls of insulating fat and blubber where it was needed most - around the vital organs.
[walrus skelly]
which brings us to the walrus. as you can see the skeletal structure and the external appearance are fairly ursiform - the rear legs are basically still in there forming the tail, and the pelvis is intact, and above that it may as well still be a land animal. if mermaids did exist, as hominids who went back out to sea, and if they hadn’t evolved into basically dolphins, then a walrus skeletal system, complete with vestigial thigh bones inside a kind of muscle skirt, and with significant fat and blubber deposits //on the main body// would be most likely. which is to say, mermaids with human torsos and seagoing lower bodies would waddle around on their tails, have clearly defined thigh structures, and would be a hell of a lot rounder above and about the waist than they’re usually depicted.
which begs the question, then, if you see a mermaid and it’s a skinny little thing with a slinky waist and an eel-like tail and a perfect bosom and a coy smile, //why does it look like that//? because whatever that is? it is not a land animal that readapted to the sea. it is not your distant kin. it is a sea creature that adapted //to get your attention//.
maybe it’s all an illusion, a frilly mane, an hourglass shape, and narrow antennae that mimic the shape of human arms, waving lonely sailors into the water, only to realize too late the bioluminescent patterns of lipstick and pert breasts are to distract from what lies behind them - viselike jaws and row after row of stiletto teeth.
or maybe it’s all soft tissue, the gelatinous bell of a jellyfish folded into a pleasing shape, luring the unwary down to be caught up in a tail that is nothing more than thousands of barbed lines of stinging neurotoxin cells.
or it could be that the tail goes deep into a shadowy well, and the beautiful woman is a mask for a single enormous jaw, the internal skeleton just the endless spine and ribs of a vast and hungry sea snake.
or, perhaps most terrifyingly, the face is real but not the face of the eyes looking out of it - a human mask for an intelligence both cold and calculating, wearing an inviting smile to bring you within reach of the dagger behind it’s back. waiting to slice the skin off of you because it needs a new disguise, because it is shaped like you but does not look like you, because it must pass as you so it can go among you, so that by starlight it may go on land and into town, where your kin are sleeping, unsuspecting.

this is the art prompt of this godforesaken century
Alright, this did not go where I expected it to. It makes a compelling point tho.
me @ myself: haha u should study now its like 12 am
idiot, also me: wait but remember that verrry good fic u read a long time ago haha yesss u should read it its not gonna be different but i think it would be a good idea
I hate it when people say only gryffindors are brave. Huffelpuffs may not be naturally brave but they’re loyal. Fiercely loyal. And loyalty creates a unique form of courage. One that only appears when someone you care about needs you. And in my experience, it is far stronger than bravery for the sake of being a hero.
Slytherin wasn’t the only founder to leave a concealed chamber at Hogwarts– before her death, Helga Huffelpuff created a secret room which would help all students, regardless of house affiliation or purity of blood. It’s been called many things throughout the centuries; today it’s known as the Room of Requirement.
oc design is just “this is me” and “god I wish that were me” in random measurements on a scale
