I really like the colours you get on magpies, what at first glance looks like a other black and white bird is actually full of these wonderfully iridescent greens and purples

just a really spectacular animal

Patches! He's such a cool guy. There is still quite strong debate regarding the underlying cause of his white patches. Many say they are purely genetic markings (ie unchanging markings he has always had), however I personally have always believed it is more like a genetic mutation that prevents recolouration of scar tissue. Normally Bottlenose dolphins' skin has very good recolouration properties. Even with more serious scratches or deeper wounds, the damaged tissue regains colour so when healed, the original wound is hardly visible. It can only be felt, and a scar line seen in close up. However there are cetacean species, like the Risso's dolphin and many beaked whales, where scratches quite explicitly do not recolour. On the contrary, the smallest blemish remains a stark, pure white. In these species the tally of scratches seems to serve a social function. I wonder if Patches carries a mutation that causes something similar to happen with him. Most of his white patches seem to have the shape of rake marks, and the others (like on his dorsal fin, around his mouth and on his melon) are places where dolphins often sustain damage either from feeding or raking/social interaction.

At the same time, I have compared photos of Patches between 2008 and 2020, and he does not seem to gain many new white patches. The only ones I could quickly find when reviewing them just now are a scratch on the right side of his dorsal fin and a white spot beneath it. It seems unlikely a bottlenose dolphin would go for years without being raked more. And indeed, on some recent photos you can see rakes on him that have clearly not turned white. A very, very interesting individual!

Last year JK Rowling personally funded a group called Sex Matters to amend UK law so that trans women *overnight* went from legally women to legally men. This has resulted in mass exclusion of the trans community from numerous organizations, along with ongoing violent assaults on both trans and cis women alike.

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

In fact, you are cordially invited to eat shit and die.

I know this is meant to be funny but it actually makes such a good point about how ADHD and executive dysfunction can impact people in really major ways, including financially

Good bitch, I'm glad none of your people have an ounce of loyalty to you

does that suck, mark? is it not fun to have your privacy violated? do you feel uncomfortable with people knowing things about you that you'd rather they not know? tell me more about how much you value your security and privacy, mark.

sorry to be brave on the internet but I think food labels should list every single ingredient and that there should be harsher penalties for mislabeling and deceptive labeling

Seconded.
