IT'S FLASHBEAGLE, CHARLIE BROWN (1984) dir. Bill Melendez and Sam Jaimes

[berensreverie]

A homo neanderthalensis and a homo sapiens. Happy pride!

[magnetothemagnificent]

[id: art of a Homo sapiens man and Homo neanderthalensis man crouching by a cave wall with their hands on the wall together, among many other handprints. A fire is casting their shadows on the wall. The Homo sapiens man is laughing and reaching towards the Homo neanderthalensis man, who is looking at him and blushing. ]

Most countries cut the map like that because it's the easiest and most logical place to have a big vertical split! Everyone else agrees that the awkward and self centred way that Americans cut the map so that they sit in the middle is obnoxious as hell.

Why yes. Yes we do:

if you had to be another type of ape aside from sapiens, which would you choose?

Big fan of orangutans. Deeply unserious creatures.

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

These are called vocables, a form of non-lexical utterance - that is, wordlike sounds that aren’t strictly words, have flexible meaning depending on context, and reflect the speakers emotional reaction to the context rather than stating something specific. They also include uh-oh! (that’s not good!), uh-huh and mm-hmm (yes), uhn-uhn (no), huh? (what?), huh… (oh, I see…), hmmn… (I wonder… / maybe…), awww! (that’s cute!), aww… (darn it…), um? (excuse me; that doesn’t seem right?), ugh and guh (expressions of alarm, disgust, or sympathy toward somebody else’s displeasure or distress), etc.

Every natural human language has at least a few vocables in it, and filler words like “um” and “erm” are also part of this overall class of utterances. Technically “vocable” itself refers to a wider category of utterances, but these types of sounds are the ones most frequently being referred to, when the word is used.

My favourite description of this is in Guards! Guards!

The dragon raised its head in a puzzled way and made a noise that was vaguely interrogative without being in any way a word.

"A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter" was quite a sentence

Also sometimes the purpose of a sex scene is to be titillating and that's, like, fine. You wouldn't go out there and argue that movies shouldn't have jokes unless they "serve a narrative purpose" because you understand that generally the purpose of a joke is to make the audience laugh and perhaps release some tension. Being horny is a normal human emotion like being amused or being scared and sometimes media is trying to evoke that particular emotion; the artist doesn't owe you a 30-page double-spaced justification for trying to make you feel something through their art. Your separation of horniness and sex from other emotions and experiences is sex negative and deeply ingrained in cultural conservatism.

One of Coffee's funniest quirks is that she likes to groom on her back - she's been like this since I first got her as a baby bean 2 years back, but as an older girl she seems to enjoy back grooming even more and its hilarious seeing her plop down, roll over, and get to work sprucing up!

A coyote cools off in the drink fridge at a Quiznos in the Chicago Loop, 2007

“It did not growl. It did not make any sounds. It just tried to get in. Apparently it was scared and tried to shelter itself,” said Ray Zavalas, Quiznos employee.

There's this video of nuns talking about their favourite things to do outside of nun activities and one of them says "ultimate frisbee" and the other one goes "and sister you are so good at that." I literally cannot get "and sister you are so good at that" out of my head. Out of all my stims this one is my fav lolol
