Gesturing wildly with her arms and grunting whenever she spoke, Dr. Jane Goodall returned from her latest expedition with an annoying chimp accent, sources confirmed Monday. “She was there for, like, six weeks, and now she’s acting like it’s totally natural for her to puff out her lips, hit her chest with her fists, and scream unintelligible howls any time we speak,” said research assistant Jake Granger, who noted that ever since Goodall got back from the Congo rainforest, the famed primate researcher had been acting like she’d spent her entire life living as a great ape instead of growing up as a human woman born in Britain.

Today I was listening to Jane Goodall being interviewed and she said something I knew about but had forgotten. The whole reason she went off to Africa to study chimps in the wild was because she was madly in love with Tarzan. Huge fangirl!

"He married the wrong Jane!" she laughed.

But she was so caught up in the romance of it all that she literally went off to live with chimps at a time when field studies of wild animals simply did not exist, and women were not taken very seriously as scientists. And basically invented a whole approach to studying wild animals that is standard today, changed everything we know about chimps, and became one of nature's biggest champions.

Because she loved real animals and one fictional man.

JANE GOODALL : AN INSIDE LOOK An intimate portrait of Dr. Goodall and her pioneering work The documentary draws from an extensive collection of unseen footage, totaling more than 100 hours, capturing Jane Goodall’s work in Gombe during the 1960s, meticulously filmed by Hugo van Lawick. Thought to have been lost, this invaluable footage resurfaced in 2014, providing a glimpse into Dr. Goodall’s groundbreaking research and the natural world she dedicated her life to studying.

the death of Dr Jane Goodall is making me really emotional. she was one of the first women in stem i learned about as a little girl. she was proof that women could do the dirty work and excel at it--women could literally be in the wild, in the dirt, climbing trees, and surviving on their own, Goodall was proof. i remember learning about her. i remember seeing even my male classmates admire her, and that being a big deal to me.

i remember learning not only that she was a woman in science, but that she was better than the male scientists in her niche. that was insane to learn! it felt like most female scientists i learned about were talented, but always outshone by their male counterparts. they were important because they were women in that field, but people always insisted that the men were still better. But not Dr Goodall. she revolutionized science. she was a genius. the best in her field of work.

Rest in peace, Dr Jane Goodall. you will continue to be beloved and to be a trailblazer and hero for women and girls everywhere

People will call fucking anything a cryptid. When did the word change from "animal believed to exist based on folklore/sightings, but as of yet undiscovered by science" to "that creature you imagined running next to your car when you were a kid"

Did y'all forget that "cryptid" came from "cryptozoology" i.e., "hidden animal," i.e., ANIMALS that could possibly exist

Things are coming together!! LIFE is coming together. Starting up Chemistry next month (and I'm beyond excited). The second last course before I tackle the final boss of calculus (but I'm still feeling pretty confident because I've been preparing in the downtime). Getting better at the weekly torture session (driving lessons) and will spend the fall and winter prepping our house to be sold.

I don't think I've ever felt so positive and optimistic about the future. I'm in a good place with good people who share goals and solid plans for the months and years ahead. I've been able to 'level up' and gain a lot of ground from where I started this year, and I can confidently say I'm proud of my own life progress for once. In these past few months, for the first time, I actually feel like an adult. I feel whole. With passions and dreams that make me feel incredible because of the drive it has given me. I feel like I've found my place in the world.

I'm so fucking excited.

Cutey cutey romantic moment because I need the serotonin. And a hands insert shot because I apparently hate myself.
