ok we've all heard of the Great Edwardian Gay Penguin Cover-Up, but i can't believe i'm only now learning that sheep are extremely gay/bisexual. what do you mean 30% of male sheep are into gay sex? and 10% are exclusively into gay sex. what do you MEAN sheep are a statistically gayer species than humans. we're being outdone by FUCKING SHEEP? or more specifically, sheep fucking???

absolutely outrageous humanity needs to up its game NOW (though i was delighted to learn about butch intersex ewes)

This week is apparently rabies week because four baby goats at a petting zoo in North Carolina just tested positive for the virus and now they have to do contact tracing and try to find everyone at the public event who could have interacted with them.

[zooophagous]

If you were at an event in Lexington NC recently that had a petting zoo, and you interacted with any goats, you might wanna read this.

To be clear, this is not a "Oh you might be sick and we don't want you to infect others." situation, this is a "If you develope the first neurological symptoms you are a walking corpse. You need post exposure prophylaxies (which has very good outcomes) before that or you will 100% die."

what do you MEAN this digital textbook I'm supposed to stare at constantly doesn't have text and background customization? Where's my easy-on-the-eyes mint green background or at least sepia? Where's my free and opensource OpenDyslexic font? I can't even change the font size?? This is a book about making sociology accessible and we don't have customization to make it more accessible?

John Rogers, proving himself once again to be an entire vibe.

[nudityandnerdery]

John Rogers is the creator of two of my favorite things:

Leverage and Leverage: Redemption, show(s) about criminals who team up to punish billionaires and corporations who take advantage of regular people in ways that the law won't punish. It's a great heist show, it's hilarious, it's satisfying in a vengeance sort of way, it's deeply nerdy in sometimes subtle ways (criminals using aliases from Doctor Who, anyone?), and seeing the characters and relationships develop is really nice, too.

The following quote: "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

[gryphye]

John Rogers is one third of my Rogers philosophy.

Mr Rogers: Be kind

Steve Rogers: Do the right thing

John Rogers: Billionaires steal more than all the street crime combined.

don’t tell me you can’t use physics in your daily life, once I realized that the marshmallows in Lucky Charms are less dense than the cardboard cereal they reside in, I figured out that stimulating motion (shaking the box) would cause marshmallows to rise to the top of the cereal before I poured it into my bowl = more marshmallows for me and a pissed off brother who can never figure out why all the marshmallows are gone when he goes to eat his cereal

It’s not that I can’t figure it out, it’s just that it’s annOYING AS FRIK AND YOU NEED TO STOP

For the millionth time, anti-abortionists need to start sitting with the fact that certain terrible things that occur in pregnancy cannot be fixed, whether it's an anatomical anomaly like this one that is invariably fatal for the fetus, or something like an ectopic pregnancy that will inevitably kill the mother if nothing is done.

My brother (17) and his friends like to play a game called “Manhunt” where several boys on foot are “hunted” by two boys in a car, whilst they share their phone locations on a timer. It’s basically a city-wide game of tag. My brother’s behavior made them add the rule that you cannot just sprint off straight into the woods (he’s a bow hunter and outdoorsman and they are city boys).

[sandersstudies]

My parents consent to him playing this game. He called my mom while I was with her and said “hey if it’s cool I’m gonna have the boys over at the house to start a manhunt later” and my mom was like of course sweetie have fun.

[sandersstudies]

Somebody jumpscared me by tagging this post as a character, and that character had the same first name as my brother. I thought somebody knew him personally and recognized him by the sparse details in the post alone.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

i think it's cute when americans talk about being from the 'great state of connecticut' or like 'the great state of wisconsin.' not when it's texas or new york or california obviously because then there's the fear that they're being serious. but when americans adopt that really earnest tone and are like 'god bless the great state of delaware' in response to a picture of a seagull swallowing an entire ziplock bag full of cheese-its. I think that's very endearing

“I make jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know what she was, just this woman who was blond and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. Momma used to say, "Aw, she's just trash," and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash.” - Dolly

i hate that diet culture means all the tasty drinks everywhere are loaded with stevia now. this isn't even a stance about health, I just think it tastes so fucking bad

[genderqueer-rat]

stevia is cross-reactive with a common environmental allergen: ragweed! if you've been drinking your fun little drinky drinks & have been feeling off there's a chance you're actually allergic!

I can't have artificial sweeteners because they give me migraines. I can't have stevia because I have an anaphylactic reaction. this new wave of "make everything 0 sugar" coming back into fashion could literally kill me if I'm not careful. nothing is safe, nothing is sacred, if I'm getting a little treat, better check the ingredients in case they changed em! :)

*head in hands* it's like ragweed??? Ragweed?? Oh my god everything makes so much sense

Ty for sharing that I had no idea

Ragweed Allergies and Asthma: Beware of This Common Sweetener

Stevia, a common low-calorie sweetner, is an allergen that belongs to the ragweed family.

[makingtrouble]

It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

Now you've lived with me for five years. Five is like the number of toe beans on one of your feet. When I clip your nails five is when we're halfway done. But we're hopefully not even halfway done with how long we get to be together. I'm gonna have to figure out new ways to help you count.

that is stalking

[the-kill-all-tmes-lady]

its stalking when it happens to children also btw

[bucketofdeltav]

"My mum won't let me" Okay I am 30 goddamn years old and I still have this thought so let's walk through it together.

What's the worst that can happen if you do it anyway? Genuinely. The literal worst. Catastrophise about it with me for a sec.

Will your mum yell at you? You're an adult. Yelling at fellow adults is Not Okay Actually. (Yelling at kids is also not okay but let's take this one step at a time.) If your mum is yelling at you, a fellow adult, she's the one being weird and out of line. You asked your friend and they said so too (me. I'm the friend.)

Will she cut off your phone plan? That would be a problem. Can you look into whether you can afford to switch to a new plan she doesn't have access to? Most phone companies will let you port your number over pretty easily.

Will she cut you off financially? Run the numbers again. Can you afford for that to happen? If the answer is no, that's okay, I believe you and I know you're making the best decision for your own well-being that you can in the moment. If there's anything you can do to make it more affordable, I do suggest doing that, though.

Will she be physically violent, inclusive of breaking stuff that belongs to you? That’s assault. That's a crime. It's not okay for her to do that and she almost certainly knows it.

Will she stop talking to you? Honestly I gotta say at this point that's not sounding like a bad outcome. It sucks. It really really sucks and I'm sorry if that's a choice you're having to make, but take it from someone who's been there and done that: when someone who is being abusive to you (stalking is abuse! Yelling at you is abuse! Threatening to cut off your funds if you don't do what they want forever is abuse! Breaking your stuff or physically hurting you is abuse!) decides of their own volition to cut you off, it hurts for a hot minute, and then you suddenly realise that you can breathe, and it feels so. Goddamn. Amazing.

Delete the tracking application. Live where you want to live. Change your name. Join or leave the religion. Get the piercing or the tattoo or the surgery. Live your life, because it's yours and not your parents'.

We'll try together, okay?
