there should be a term like passenger princess but for when you’ve summoned your significant other or friend or family member to sit with a glass of wine and keep you company while you cook

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer

[howelljenkins]

to love and be loved is to rest

To put it very bluntly.

You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.

A fish swimming in the Great Lakes today may have been alive before many colonial settlements existed in the region.

A new scientific study suggests lake sturgeon may live far longer than previously believed. Using 44 years of tagging and recapture data from five Great Lakes populations, researchers estimated that male lake sturgeon may live 90 to 279 years, while females could potentially reach 99 to 427 years.

For many years, scientists estimated sturgeon age by counting growth rings in fin spines, similar to tree rings. Researchers now say that method becomes less reliable as lake sturgeon age because their growth slows and the rings become increasingly difficult to distinguish. By tracking individual fish over decades, the study offers a new way to understand how long these ancient fish may live.

The findings also align with knowledge long shared by some Indigenous communities, whose oral traditions have described lake sturgeon as exceptionally long-lived beings. In many Great Lakes cultures, sturgeon hold deep importance as part of foodways, seasonal knowledge, and relationships with waterways.

Lake sturgeon were once heavily harvested and treated as nuisance fish in the late 1800s, contributing to major population declines. According to Michigan DNR reporting, less than 1% of historic Great Lakes lake sturgeon numbers remain. Because they mature slowly and reproduce over many decades, recovery takes time across generations.

The study highlights the value of long-term monitoring and collaboration among Tribal Nations, fisheries researchers, universities, and conservation agencies. Protecting healthy rivers, spawning habitat, and connected waterways remains important for the future of this species.

Just strap your tevas on and strut it out weird girl

[diserbillyti]

So because I used to work with a lot of young men, I've seen/read a lot of manosphere shit (genuinely I had to know what a sneako is for work) and read/watched a lot of opinion pieces on the manosphere.

Something I notice is, when men discuss the manosphere, they either centre the reason boys fall down that pipeline on some inner weakness or defectiveness of the boy, ie. "they're just autistic weirdos who want rules for women because they can't get their dick wet," or they centre the reason on women, "feminism had made women too woke, mean and impossible to socialise with."

What I noticed while working is that every single little Tate goblin I had to work with had conservative parents, and I have never once seen that aspect of all this discussed. Boys will reflect the social norms they are raised in within their household. The biggest preventative for manosphere bullshit I saw in the boys I worked with was a dad who isn't a fuckwit and a household that isn't LARPing the 1960s.

Blaming disabled people and women for shit men do instead of the men in the immediate vicinity with an active role in the situation seems to be a trend.

the republican party under donald trump starting the iran war is going to go down in history as the biggest blunders for the US ever committed by an american president it's kind of incredible. it's a shame iranians are suffering due to this imperialist regime

[dykespiegal]

I agree that the war is an absolute travesty, but let’s check the source on these specific claims.

“A viral post claiming Iran has “flatly ruled out” negotiating with President Donald Trump and will wait out his term until 2029 racked up more than 300,000 views Monday morning.

The post from The Hormuz Letter, a widely followed account covering the war, rests largely on remarks from one adviser in Tehran.” MSN

“As long as the US naval blockade continues, the necessary conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz do not exist,' Baghaei said, adding that Iran and Oman are holding bilateral negotiations over shipping routes in the strait.” International Business Times UK

From what I can find, the 2029 claims are coming from one person with limited power in the actual negotiations. The conditions for opening the strait appear to be accurate:

“The United States must never threaten Iran again, the statement said, and must permanently end the war with Iran and its armed allies in the region. The U.S. must lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports and withdraw its military from the area. It must “completely compensate” Iran for war damage, lift sanctions and “unconditionally” release frozen assets” AP

The "gambling" reward pathway aka the inconsistent reward pathway literally evolved for things like this! Foraging! Trying new recipes! Experimenting with a new technique while crafting! Any essential human activity that might get you something useful, but also might just make some trash.

There is nothing inherently unhealthy about that reward feeling! You can have that same feeling in a healthy way!!!! Corporations are taking advantage of it for profit, don't let them!!!!!!

Mushroom hunting! Birding! Trying a new technique in a craft you're already familiar with! Mixing random sauces in your fridge to see if any of them taste good!!!

I do often think about how the origin of “he would not fucking say that” was in reference to a post which depicted Cartman SouthPark responding politely when asked for his pronouns

[schistcity]

meme phrases are so mobile and versatile and that's really really beautiful but i'm always thinking about the first "she x on my y til i z" being "she ebbin on my neezer til i scrooge" and the first "fork found in kitchen" coming from a tweet about sehun from exo being spotted at a gay bar. like sometimes you just utterly nail it the very first time and no variation of the joke is going to be better.

[schistcity]

EXACTLY.

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.
