This is more inspirational than I think it was originally intended to be
My wife pointed out to me the other day that apparently most people were literally only taught how to say Sorry and not how to Apologize or even that they are different things so here.
If all you ever do is step 1, not only did you not apologize, but people will rightfully stop believing you and start getting pissed or hurt.
If you learn about apologies in psychology, this is something they emphasize.
An apology that is meant is not just spoken; it is shown in actions.
So when you apologize but don't change, you prove you aren't sorry for your actions; you were sorry they had consequences. And then people don't trust you because of it.
And also--
An apology -- a full apology, in the form given above -- may be followed by forgiveness from the injured party. May. Forgiveness is not obligatory, and if it is withheld you are not released from your commitment to do better.
"Forgiveness" in this context basically means "I acknowledge your apology, and I am open to the possibility of reconciliation." (Forgiveness can mean other things in different contexts, it's a dangerously overloaded word.)
"Reconciliation" means that the relationship is restored or repaired. Even if a full apology has been offered and responded to with forgiveness, reconciliation is not automatic; it takes work on both sides. Sometimes it doesn't happen even if both parties put in the work. That's sad, but there it is.
‘While bats can only sense the outer shapes and textures of their targets, dolphins can peer inside theirs. If a dolphin echolocates on you, it will perceive your lungs and your skeleton. It can likely sense shrapnel in war veterans and fetuses in pregnant women. It can pick out the air-filled swim bladders that allow fish, their main prey, to control their buoyancy.
It can almost certainly tell different species apart based on the shape of those air bladders. And it can tell if a fish has something weird inside it, like a metal hook. In Hawaii, false killer whales often pluck tuna off fishing lines, and “they’ll know where the hook is inside that fish,” Aude Pacini, who studies these animals, tells me. “They can ‘see’ things that you and I would never consider unless we had an X-ray machine or an MRI scanner.”
This penetrating perception is so unusual that scientists have barely begun to consider its implications. The beaked whales, for example, are odontocetes that look dolphin-esque on the outside—but on the inside, their skulls bear a strange assortment of crests, ridges, and bumps, many of which are only found in males.
Pavel Gol’din has suggested that these structures might be the equivalent of deer antlers—showy ornaments that are used to attract mates. Such ornaments would normally protrude from the body in a visible and conspicuous way, but that’s unnecessary for animals that are living medical scanners.’
-Ed Yong, An Immense World
Cetacean echolocation is one of those things that boggles your mind once you really start to think about the implications. They can see each others' hearts beating fast with fear or excitement. They can see if another dolphin is healthy, or pregnant; how the fetus is doing; if they have ingested debris. Their echolocation is also incredibly precise: a bottlenose dolphin could discriminate between cilinders differing in wall thickness by just 0.23 mm (0.009 inch) from 8 meters away!! And they certainly notice when something is off.
I'm not sure if I ever shared this story before here, but in Curacao, when I was allowed to assist in a guest interaction programme, there was suddenly consternation in the pool behind us. A guest had entered the water and the dolphins were going crazy, paying no heed to the trainers anymore. The lead trainer that was with me gave the dolphins to me to watch over while she went to help. When she came back she told me what had happened. The guest that had caused so much uproar had left the water again and was asked if he had done anything to upset the dolphins. He hadn't, and he couldn't imagine what was wrong... until he mentioned he had a pacemaker. The younger dolphins in the pool had never seen someone with a pacemaker before and apparently it rocked their world.
It was such a wild experience, and offered such a cool insight into how dolphins experience their world. I'll never forget it.
Dan Hays is a British artist known for painting landscapes that mimic low-resolution digital images, often working pixel by pixel. Colorado Snow Effect 4 is part of his ongoing exploration of how technology influences perception. The painting features a snowy landscape rendered in a way that resembles pixelated digital imagery, blurring the line between traditional and digital art.
Bird #22: Lesser Flamingo
Avian August day 13! I almost didn't add the pipecleaner legs but am I so glad that I did. They've gone from just okay to possibly my new favorite. Lesser flamingo I love you and your silly little legs!!
More photos below because I love this bird so much.
had to share this
In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice

[ID drawing of Clint Barton. He’s sitting in a lawn chair in front of a brick wall. He has a notepad resting on his thigh and a pen in his hand. He’s wearing a tank top with a purple bullseye on it, joggers, and purple converse shoes. His arms are covered in tattoos. He has a nautical star on the side of his neck, roses and other flowers on his shoulder, a spider web with a black widow spider, and an arrow just below his collar bone. end iD]
wuts the joke here?
Sylveon evolves with affection, but Umbreon evolves with friendship. After having sex the Umbreon realized she only liked the Sylveon as a friend, which is disappointing for the Sylveon, because he feels much more strongly than her.
The joke is heartbreak.
As anti-AI as I am, whether we're talking about fanfiction or art, I don't think we should be going to other people's blogs to harass them. Let them tag their work as AI-generated, and the people who want to engage with that kind of content will, while those who don't can simply avoid it. I think that's a better approach than shaming. Otherwise, people will just stop tagging their AI content to avoid harassment, and then we'll end up with a witch hunt instead.
What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
Genuinely I think this might be the most important scene in the book
@carlyraejepsans how does it feel to be the most correct person ever. You're so right
Wait that explains everything so so much

I saved it because of the Hawkeye and Fadral interaction, but then noticed the Thing and Thor arm wresting and Peter absolutely CHOWING DOWN on that leg
