can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

spn queerbaiting is like being in the middle of the desert and and you're like cool. could i get some water. and someone comes along and is like "here are a billion signs we've got water. here's years of subtext implying water. here's market research specifically proving that we researched whether or not water is popular (it is)." so you follow them for twelve years and then they finally stop and you're like cool. where's the water. and then they splash a little on your shoes and impale you with rebar.

Could really use more media where wives viciously protect their husbands

Also violently. I want very violently. I want her to go scorched earth. I want five scenes earlier to see her husband being diplomatic and calming down a situation so no one gets hurt because his wife is in danger. And then something happens and now he's unconscious and being threatened and his wife just absolutely levels a seven block radius with the force of her refusal to let anyone hurt him.

sometimes I think about how rattlesnakes are starting to adapt to bite immediately instead of using their rattle as a warning, because this defense mechanism that says "im here! im frightened! don't come close or ill bite you" has instead ilicited a reaction of "oh fuck a rattlesnake, i should kill it"

so of course every snake that has the instinct to warn humans of its presence gets killed, and only the snakes that bite first and dont make themselves known get to survive. a human who's been bitten is too worried about his swelling ankle to decapitate a snake with a shovel.

it's a good example of how humans make the world more dangerous for ourselves by believing that we have mastery and ownership of it. we think we have the power and importance to control the life around us down to the snakes and insects, but every animal fights for life. and no animal thinks that any human is more important than it's own life.

Out of curiosity, do you have a good source for this information? I couldn’t find anything scientific on the subject; just a few news station interviews presenting anecdotal evidence.

I’m really curious as to the extent of the change and whether it’s thought to be selection based, a random genetic variation in a given rattlesnake population, or a result of urbanization/ increased contact between humans and rattlesnakes.

I initially heard the "rattlesnakes are evolving not to rattle" concept on NPR several years ago, and it certainly seemed plausible to me. This year, I've come in contact with seven rattlesnakes, and only one of them rattled at me. Unfortunately, it seems I've been repeating some pop science uncritically.

Thanks for asking for a source on this; it inspired some literature review on my part. Turns out there's very little literature to review! The few studies that have been conducted seem to point more towards habituation rather than natural selection. Snakes in parks and near trails get used to human activity and no longer see it as a threat.

Habituation is ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom. Nonetheless, there are no studies that report habituation of the rattling behavior

Not a scientific article, but a decent debunking:

Nope. But the topic is interesting, regardless. This is a relatively new myth that’s something to watch, where those of us who regularly wor

happy fuck or die 15th of september to all who celebrate. on this day, a bajillion years ago, amok time served the most cunt no one has ever served before. and then slash fanfiction was invented. it is the sacred texts 🙏

twwings

literally we had to invent slash fanfiction to deal with this. it was a purely reactionary response to this one episode of star trek. people in the 60s and 70s had no choice, they looked at this and their brains changed. god bless and happy anniversary
