I’ve never seen him look so much like himself before

I just remembered that apes smile when hostile. This isn’t a happy scene. This monkey has full meter and a full screen projectile in it’s move list. This is an invitation to death.
Humans have this distress response too! If you watch the smaller of their young you will spot the occasional baring of teeth in upsetting situations. You can see this with adult humans as well, but it’s harder to catch because they have a fairly deep somatic vocabulary assigned to smiles; it is probably easiest to recognise after minor injury like stubbing a toe or receiving an injection.
It’s a lot of fun comparing how related species have related behaviours, and also neat to contrast how they have specialised them!
Thanks for the question! My area of expertise is more generally avian than it is mammalian (or primate), so I don’t really know the technical nomenclature for the specific stage of human offspring development I mean to communicate.
With the vocabulary I have the closest I can get semantically is ‘mid-nestling to fledgling fresh-fallen from the nest’ but the concepts don’t quite map to how human offspring develop. Another way to phrase it is able to move around under their own power but still heavily dependent on parental intervention for survival.
Hope this helps clear things up! Have a nice day :)
You studied birds so long you forgot that the word toddler exists and I think that’s just delightful.
If you’ve ever worked in customer service, you yourself have made this exact face and know the true threat behind it.
Are we just gonna fuckin ignore the alien
world heritage post
thank you everyone
Twitter made the Jewish lady that posted this delete it for “threatening violence.”
Her followers spent the rest of the day tweeting this. Trolls couldn’t keep up.
Coming from someone who studies the Holocaust and the history surrounding it, It is important to remember that Nazis were human, not monsters. It’s important because if we dehumanize them we create a level of separation between us and them. It’s important because if we create that level of removal, we start ignoring the subtle signs of antisemitism because “Oh, well they’re just a normal human, not a monster, i’m sure it’ll be alright.” It’s important because when we create that level of removal, they come back in waves. It’s important because when you create that level of separation, you get the problems that we have now.
There is a very simple set of brain equations involved when we dehumanize the enemy, and it goes something like this:
“Nazis are monsters” “I would not be friends with a monster” The CORRECT conclusion is “I cannot be friends with Nazis” BUT PEOPLE KEEP BELIEVING THE COROLLARY “None of my friends are Nazis” “…even that one guy who keeps posting ‘ironic’ Pepe memes, who never really grew out of his 4Chan /pol/ phase, and who keeps trying to have really intense conversations with me about ‘globalists’. But he’s my friend! I’ve known him forever! He doesn’t REALLY believe any of that stuff. He’s just kind of an asshole, and we love him anyway.” This is a very bad corollary. It is an extraordinarily dangerous corollary. When we sincerely believe that we would not be friends with bad people, we ignore the signs that our friends are bad people.
(Friendly note: you can replace “Nazi” above with “sexual predator” or “racist” or “abuser”. Same hat, pretty much. There are very real reasons not to dehumanize the enemy, and they have nothing to do with the enemy’s right to humanity, and everything to do with the enemy’s ability to sneak past our lines wearing a nice-person mask.)
After years of living in the adulting world, I think I’ve come to a realization: Manners exist to guide you to good conduct even when you’re in a bad mood.
When you’re happy, when you’re feeling generous, when you’re pleased with your gift or your service or your outcome, it’s easy to be nice. It’s easy to tip the waiter well when you’ve had a good day. It’s easy to thank the teller or the clerk when you got what you wanted out of the transaction. It’s easy to smile and chit-chat with strangers on the road when you’re in a good mood.
It’s hard to tip the waiter when you didn’t enjoy your food. It’s hard to thank the clerk for their time when you’ve just been told there’s a problem with their account and they weren’t able to fix it for you. It’s hard to think of something nice to say when your aunt gave you a crappy sweater you neither need nor want. It’s hard to be nice to people when you’ve had a shitty day. It’s HARD.
That’s what manners are for. Scripts and phrases that you learn by rote to say when you can’t think of a single nice or good thing to say from your own volition. Yes, they’re scripted. Yes, the sentiment is empty. But the scripts work in every situation, and the emptiness provides a buffer between your own unhappiness and the rest of society.
Because most of the time, it’s not the waiter’s fault that the food you ordered wasn’t what you expected. It’s not the clerk’s fault that your account is overdrawn. It’s not the fault of the barista or the stranger on the subway that you got fired today or your favorite aunt died. But even when you can’t summon a smile or a cheery word, you can still have manners, because they will serve you the same in sunshine or rain.
This is very wise and very well put.
Oh gawd every time you think it’s over it gers BETTER

At first I thought that she was only gonna end him with the “What did you think was going to happen?!” but it does keep getting better and better

Frank stop. Go read a book or yell at a cloud it would be just as useful as this statement you left on Twitter.
He did add this later, which is… something?
[x] good ending
This is what people mean when they say that privilege is invisible to the people who have it. It never occurred to him that knowing someone’s orientation would be important to anyone, because to him, a straight man, representation is everywhere. It’s overabundant. It’s so common as to be taken for granted. To him, representation of his sexuality isn’t important because it’s there.
I love that he learned. I love watching people understand their own blind spots when it comes to privilege.

When you stop telling people how to behave outside of basic decency, and just let them be who they are with a supportive framework, it turns out they display tremendous variety and perfectly wondrous complexity.

I have never seen it more beautifully stated. People are incredible.
no offence but there is literally nothing morally wrong with cheating on tests/at school… it’s up there with piracy on the list of Crimes Everyone Is Convinced Are Wrong And Harmful But If You Actually Think About Them For 12 Seconds It’s Fine And You Definitely Should Commit Them At Some Point
99% of computer repair is googling the problem to see if anyone else has successfully fixed it. I have a certification in computer repair and I was allowed AND EXPECTED to use google in my exam. 99% of bartending is pulling pints and adding coke to a spirit. I managed bars for 10 years and have a diploma in Cafe, Bar, and Restaurant Management. I think I can make like 7 cocktails from memory. I use google to find the recipes for the rest. I was working towards a paleontology degree. On the few digs I was involved in, everything was photographed and shared with experts who weren’t there to get their opinions. The real world doesn’t operate in exam conditions. Whatever career path you follow, you will be able to consult colleagues in some form or another. You’ll be allowed to use Google and Wikihow and industry specific forums and texts and websites. Exam conditions do not exist outside of exams.
Stop demonizing wolves.
Like seriously. Wolves we see in movies and media… Not how wolves behave. At all.
1. A lone wolf is cool, strong and, something to strive to be. FALSE.
Lone wolves have either lost, left or been pushed out of a pack. They are likely starving, lonely and/or looking for a new family or mate. Wolves are highly social and need companionship. They don’t want to be alone.
2. An alpha wolf is the biggest, baddest wolf in the pack who fights for their position. FALSE.
There are TWO Alpha wolves in a pack. They are mom and dad, the oldest and usually the smartest cause they have experienced the most. They are usually more timid and less likely to put themselves in danger because they are the only wolves in the pack that breed. If they die, the rest of the family will likely loose their way and eventually break apart.
Biggest wolves are usually the ‘betas’ who are children of the alphas (cause most everyone in the pack are puppies from mom and dad) and are generally more likely to investigate.
3. Wolves are brave and will hunt down intruders to there territory. FALSE.
Wolves are HUGE scaredy cats. They are naturally neophobic after about 6months to a year. Something new and different shows up in there territory, they are likely to avoid or keep their distance. They are NOT going to attack unless food or puppies are involved. They are great at communicating and you will know you need to back off long before you are in danger. This also means that no, that ‘wolf dog’ is not going to be a loyal and protective pet.
4. Wolves adopt. This is true.
Wolves are puppy crazy. Like they love puppies (for the most part) and its very common for packs to adopt puppies into their family. No issues with breeding cause, only mom and dad are allowed to do that. this is a way that puppies breed in captivity have been introduced to the wild, by being left near known nursing females and the pack will often come find them and bring them home. You want to known how much they love puppies? Wolves will give up their own meals to make sure puppies get fed first. Wolves can gorge themselves on up to 20lb of food and have been seen regurgitating for puppies and pregnant mothers.
Please stop demonizing wolves.
Like look at these idiots. I love them so much. Stand up too fast and you scary. That thing that touched the ground, its mine now. They want your shirt and you say no so they growl, tickle their tongue and they are just like WHY!? Trust a growling wolf way more than a dog any day. (All these guys live at a sanctuary for captive born and rescued wolves)
One of the reasons why dogs were so easy to domesticate is because the structure of a wolf pack and the structure of a human family are so similar.
The “alpha wolf” myth is, also, toxic and harmful and used to support nasty stuff in human society.
A wolf pack is a family. It’s mom, dad, the kids who haven’t left home yet and are helping look after the younger kids.
Wild wolves are hard to observe because they hear us before we hear them and tend to slip away. I’ve had the great privilege of seeing a wild wolf precisely once in my life.
Oh, and you cannot mistake a wolf for A. a dog or B. a coyote.
I got to pretty much directly compare wolf and coyote.
In addition to being quite a bit smaller, coyotes tend to bounce and cover ground that way, their action is more elevated. They’re very upright.
Wolves move closer to the ground and tend to glide.
MAYBE you might mistake a stationary coyote for a wolf, but when they move the difference is quite stark.
Huskies look nothing like wolves…
i want to pet a wolf SO BADLY
Humans about 30,000 years ago had the same thought! And here we are
Also even if they were huge scary beasts, they should be respected as important ecological forces just like bears. Lots of people are irrationally afraid of wolves like they are afraid of spiders, despite the fact that wolves are probably even more harmless than spiders because they can run away faster
TUMBLR WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING ON THIS ABSOLUTELY BONKERS MATCH.COM COMMERCIAL FEATURING A LOVE STORY BEWTEEN SATAN AND THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE YEAR 2020????

LOL, my mom told me about this :D
supposedly Ryan Reynolds wrote these commercials
seriously
Or you know, Hargreeves when they were kids - “The rumor is that vanya can control her powers and her emotions. She can only use her power to serve the greater good.”
If he had gotten over his fear of her and his need to control her at any cost, he could have avoided all the issues.
