#CROW NO

Crow: CROW YES!

[notcuddles]

It’s actually impossible to measure how many fucks a corvid give because there is no device sensitive enough to register such a tiny amount.

science/animal side of tumblr… explain to me the birb thing

[red3blog]

Tail Pulling is a behavior noted in many corvids. The practical application is to create a distraction that will allow the birb to make off with the target’s food. Imagine being in the lunch room and a large fellow has a Twinkie you covet. You can’t just take it from him because he’ll defend his Twinkie. But if you thwap him on the back of his neck and then dash around to snag the Twinkie while he investigates, you stand a decent chance of enjoying spongey goodness. This is basically that in birb form.

Except corvids don’t only do this as a distraction. Sometimes they seem to just being doing it to mess with other animals/birbs. But to use my lunch room analogy, there are times you might thwap someone sneakily on the back of the neck just for amusement. Primates exhibit behavior that appears to be just be annoying other animals for amusement. Given how intelligent crows are, its not unlikely that this is a manifestation of an innate desire to just fuck with someone else for the fun of it. Such as this from the link above:

THANK YOU FOR THE BIRB KNOWLEDGE

[whitmerule]

BECAUSE IT IS FUN

[queenbloo-blog]

This speaks to me on a molecular level.

[askfordoodles]

birbs just wanna have fun

[huntersonthewingarchive]

Sorry to hijack a little, but to put it bluntly, corvids are also pretty BALSY. They are more than prepared to harass other huge birds of prey which could deal them a lot of damage. There’s plenty of cases of corvids ‘riding’ other birds as well. It’s often to harass the larger bird out of the area, but as @red3blog said, they quite often (in layman’s terms) enjoy fucking shit up for fun.

‘Where the hell is the seatbelt on this thing?’

I mean they deserve a medal for having such huge bird balls imo

Literally no fucks are given by corvids. Ever.

With all the heat Anita Sarkeesian gets for her Tropes series, you’d think it was a new topic, but Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert had a discussion on a similar theme when they were talking about the influx of slasher movies on their show in 1980.

34 years later and this is STILL relevant

[abbieprime]

That’s my goddamn lifetime.  

[natalicdormer]

points to remember:

nicki minaj was making an excellent point about how we as a society worship and promote content that excludes women who are anything except white and slim

she was not shading taylor. she was shading the way we think and how HER content as an artist is not given the appreciation it deserves because of that

taylor jumped in and made it about herself

she shifted the focus from the important issue nicki was bringing up to what the media will term a “feud” between the two

taylor using the “stop pitting women against each other” phrase was completely irrelevant and an obvious way of using feminism to deflect criticism of her

taylor was WRONG. being her fan does not make it okay to defend her when she is wrong

LOL X 1000000

[revolutionarykoolaid]

Every 28 Hours (7.10.15): Last night, a black Mississippi farmer was choked to death by a police officer. Jonathan Sanders was exercising his horses, when a white cop approached him, pulled him off his horse, and choked him with a flashlight. Literally no explanation has been provided as to why this unarmed man was stopped, let alone murdered. At the time of this post, at least five other people today alone have been killed by the police. #staywoke #farfromover

[be-blackstar]

“Try [not] to take anything out in the streets”

“We can kill you. You’re not allowed to be upset.”

Because THAT would be the real shame here

[jamaicanblackcastoroil]

At first I didn’t realize this was a new case

[radicalfeministuprising]

What the hell are they ‘investigating’ he killed an unarmed man LOCK HIS ASS UP NOW.

[fallenforminaj]

[20daysofjune]

But why would you ask her that as if she’s out here sucking random industry dick? I found that to be highly disrespectful.

[ufo-spooky]

they would never ask taylor swift that question. or igloo. why do they think nicki is in a conference room organizing dick pics from every industry dude into a slideshow?

[femininechrist]

bc society considers fellow white women’s sexuality to be fun and cute while black women’s sexuality to be either hilarious or disgusting. ever since europeans stepped foot on african soil they’ve considered black women to be more sexually promiscuous than “pure delicate” white women.

From Wiki [sourcing Deborah Grey White’s Ar’n’t I A Woman?]:

The idea that Black women were more sexually promiscuous and available evolved when Europeans first encountered women in Africa. Unaccustomed to the requirements of a tropical climate, Europeans mistook semi-nudity for lewdness. Similarly, they misinterpreted African cultural traditions, so that polygamy was attributed to the African’s uncontrolled lust, tribal dances was construed as orgy.

this ridiculous mindset has been around for the longest time. it’s part of the jezebel sterotype, that’s why she’s asked these questions and igloo, taylor swift, ect. aren’t asked questions like this.

Watch Robert Reich explain how to save America’s education system

[adventuresindotdotdot]

Yaaaassss. 

I had a teacher in high school explain to me that the american education system was designed to prepare students for life in Factory work (now cubicle work) because in the early years of the industrial revolution if you were offered a choice between dirty factory life and farm life, which would you have picked? By creating an education system that trained you to sit down for 8 hours a day and just listen it was much easier to find factory workers.

Sometimes you just need some beauty in your feed.

[thisisthinprivilege]

Awful ad.

So I have had friends who have had bariatric surgery. I support them in their desire to change their bodies because their quality of life was getting so bad for them.

BUT

I do not know ANYONE who has gone through WLS to wear skinny jeans. That is just awful. Who risks death, malnutrition, gerd, dumping syndrome and all the other awful potential side effects to wear skinny jeans? Not to mention the excess skin. Painting it out like WLS surgery will make you look like this model is really fucking wrong. 

Aside from the awfulness that is this ad, the ad with a man shows him being active with his kid on a beach with a tag line that went something like, “100lbs ago this was his dream”. If you put them aide by side the Womens one is pretty shallow and sexist. Guys want to be able to have a “full life” and women just want to shop!

Fuck you Robert Wood Johnson. You WERE a respected hospital but now this is such bullshit.
