Hellooo! @dolphinsdoingcartwheels - Tumblr Blog

"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten

they're saying spending 2 hours in the word doc changing words slightly to be more specific and evocative and moving endless commas around is one of the most noble and respected things that you can do

influencer filming a Day In My Life In Boston video: first I wake up in my one-bedroom, hyper-modern, all-white apartment within the city limits, then I buy my breakfast at a cafe, go to my day job in a hyper-modern all-white office building, buy my lunch at a cafe, meet a friend for dinner in Seaport, and go home! :3

my actual life in Boston: I have never lived in a building newer than 1920 or not had roommates, and I don't know what restaurants near my workplace are good/I get takeout maybe once a month as a treat, because have you seen the cost of living here? my address has never actually said "Boston, MA." I would not only support, but offer carnal services to, any politician who ran on a platform of dynamiting Seaport. I spent the afternoon exploring a huge library from 1892 today. I love this area so much.

So for people who don’t know, Seattle Aquarium has a breeding program to try and help save the endangered Pacific Giant Octopus.

They take wild octos every year and put them in a conjoined tank that is separated only by a plexi glass wall full of holes big enough for them to put arms through but small enough that their beaks can’t fit through. Each octopus is given food, healthcare, and enrichment, and the opportunity to get to know each other.

As Valentine’s Day approaches the marine biologists that specialize in octos make assessments of their interactions and judge if the two are compatible for mating or if they are still aggressive toward each other.

If the octopuses have been witnessed being friendly and seem interested, the gate is lifted and they have their day of romance.

But octopuses engage in cannibalism in the wild and any smaller octopus is wary of getting eastern by a larger one… So yeah, if they haven’t been friendly the possibility of cannibalism is very high. And as a program designed to help save the species they aren’t going to risk it. So the octopuses are released (not together) back into the wild and the Aquarium sets about finding a new pair to play match-maker with.

As someone who walked by this aquarium to work for almost a decade, I can attest to how huge a Thing this is around here. We’re always sad when the octopus sex show gets cancelled.

Thank you for the explanation of the conservation program.

[ID: a screenshot of a news headline posted on 2/12/2016. It reads “Attention: the public octopus sex act has been cancelled.” In smaller text the sub-header reads “Seattle Aquarium cancels annual Valentine’s Day mating ritual, fearing cephalopods might turn to cannibalism.” /end ID]

People on Tumblr love to subvert something that is already subverted and wind up with the normal thing again.

you'll spend so long in deep discussions of gender online and then go talk to someone in your real life family and find out they still havent gotten past "women can be good at things" and its like oh okay jesus christ i forgot some people are still on the baby steps huh

I am begging most folks I engage with on here to interact with mainstream people more often because this is how ***most people*** think and I wish we would stop fighting over petty shit online when if we aren’t united now we are all fucked and disagreements over very minute differences are not fucking important rn

It's rare that I appreciate an advertising campaign but this is 100/10.

We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn't an algorithm here you just make bad choices.

That's all we ever wanted. To arrive at Hell as a result of our own dubious navigation skills instead of as the result of Satan owning all the road sign companies.
