Admitting that his prior beliefs regarding conflagrations had been formed out of ignorance, longtime U.S. Forest Service icon Smokey Bear issued a statement Monday claiming that his views on wildfires had evolved. “You have to understand, when I was coming up in the ’40s, these fires were talked about in an almost entirely negative context, and I was just a dumb cub echoing the conventional thinking of the time,”  said Smokey Bear, telling reporters that conversations with real estate owners and insurance carriers who had benefited from wildfires had convinced him to soften his stance.

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it

I remember when I was younger, anytime I watched a movie where the characters have to kill a scary monster/alien, I always thought the act of killing it was intended to be part of the horror. Like there’s this amazing creature that we’ve never seen before, and maybe under different circumstances we could’ve coexisted with it, but it’s trying to attack you and you have to defend yourself, but by destroying it you also destroy the ability to ever understand it and that’s sad and is supposed to make you feel conflicted.

It was not until well into my adulthood that I realized most people do not have complicated feelings about movies where people have to kill a scary alien monster, nor is that necessarily meant to be part of the narrative (unless it very obviously is). They just want the scary thing to die because it’s scary. I don’t have a real conclusion to this I just started thinking about it for some reason.

I always felt I couldn't possibly be upset about dying to an alien monster because proof of otherwordly life is exactly what it'd take for me to die happy

I feel like every time we did standardized testing in school, we all said “I’m pretty sure I bombed that, that was tough. That was awful.” and I’m sure some of us meant it but I’m pretty sure a not insignificant percentage of the student population felt fine about their performance but didn’t want anyone else to feel bad and did not want to sound like a stuck up dickhead.

Reminder that chronic migraines aren't all "headaches." For some people migraines are just sudden attacks of basically any shitty symptoms imaginable depending on the person. Your "migraine" might be a sudden onset of extreme tiredness, temperature sensitivity, confusion and blurry vision, another person's might look like a panic attack or even a heart attack, some people experience hallucinations, become hypersensitive to smells, have to urinate a weird amount, feel numb in their fingers, flu symptoms, stroke-like symptoms, dissociation, allergy symptoms, literally anything because a "migraine" is just when your brain explodes with overactivity and sets off a bunch of pathways at once that it's not supposed to, like a computer in a power surge.

Unknown, India, Mughal A royal ram with a gold chain c. 1585; border added probably 1700s The ram in this painting is a particularly well-groomed animal that was probably kept in the royal menagerie and attended to by special keepers. The puffs of hair on the ram’s back have been colored with henna, and he wears a decorative chain of bells across his chest. The Mughal rulers collected and exhibited specimens of various animals from their territories out of a scientific interest as well as a desire to display the extent of their influence over the land and its inhabitants.

Okay someone noticed that I added the word "Disco" between well-groomed and Animal, so I have edited it out. He does, however, look like he's going out for the night.

In my defense I didn't know you guys read the descriptions
