These Here Are Words

Enjoy if you want. Or don't. I really can’t care. She/they. 1I like CS and geology and human beings actually caring about doing more than the bare fucking minimum for others. 3We're all just trying to get through this life in one piece. 1Down with speciesism. 2

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

OP I want you to know I think of this post every single time I have to wash a spoon.

I assumed everyone knew this, but

candy desk . yeah I know you’re like “it would be stupid in a tv show if a senator famous for being a libertarian idiot whose ribs got broken in a fistfight over yard waste was infected with a virus from a one-in-a-century pandemic and continued to rifle around in the senate republican’s candy pile”. well sorry Sorkin but this is the real world and that’s just how it is

oh yeah because I forgot to mention, it was Rand Paul because of fucking course it was

Zooniverse

The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research.

This website is a great way to while away an hour while helping researchers!

My son and I discovered this site when he needed to do high school graduation-required community service. This portal allows you to find interesting ways to help researchers sort and catalog data. Some of the available projects include:

Identifying animals in camera-trap photos (I did Australia and omg, there are SO. MANY. WALLABEES.)

Transcribing old handwriting for histories of various kinds (World Wars, the times of Shakespeare, anti-slavery documents, and more)

Identifying virus/bacteria growth on a series of (photos of) slides

Counting birds in photos of penguin habitats (seriously).

Identifying different kinds of storms seen on satellite images

And lots of other interesting things!

You can work on this site anonymously, or create an account to join the community of citizen-researchers.

Masha The Hero

They forgot the part where the ambulance actually stopped to let the cat in

[booty-uprooter]

oh good I was worried

[dr-dendritic-trees]

What a good cat. What a kind cat. How can anyone not love cats they are so good and loving.

[squibbbly]

they also forgot the part where they only found the baby because masha was screaming her head off bc she knew this baby was in danger. she went around outside the alley the next morning and yelled at passerby until she got one to follow her to the baby. she kept him warm all night and then made sure someone found him. she was adopted after this bc she was a stray and is in a loving home and is a hero

Thank you, Masha, you’re such a good girl.

[jenniferrpovey]

See.

Kittens can’t regulate their own body temperature. That’s why they pile up.

Cats see us as colony members.

Masha saw a kitten that was on its own, no mommy, no other kittens to cuddle with. She instinctively knew that was a cold kitten. She knew that a kitten alone on a cold night was very likely to die. Because a kitten would have died too.

So, all she was doing was what any good colony member does - protecting the abandoned kitten. Then when the abandoned kitten’s mommy didn’t come back, she called the rest of the colony for help.

People have this bizarre idea that housecats don’t have a social sense. They do, and it saved this kid’s life. And possibly Masha’s too, as life on the streets is dangerous for a kitty.

We say “good dog” all the time, but Masha was being a very, very good cat…not just by human moral standards but by feline ones.

The end-cretaceous extinction is actually very simple. The asteroid caused all the dinosaurs to bounce up into the air like a trampoline, and only birds, who could fly, could survive falling from such a height
