Leading Apes in Hell

This is my chaos space I generally like queer stuff, old stuff, 19th(ish) century women's lit, and a smattering of other nonsense.

today someone asked me what my favorite even-toed ungulate is… god, who could decide?

[hungwy]

this was ignorant of me to post. of course its the muskox

[hungwy]

and here comes my favorite boy…

[weaselle]

okay. some of you must surely be getting tired of seeing me say this but i literally cannot help myself- THAT IS AN ICE AGE GOAT. THAT CAN GET TO BE 800lbs BIG.

we called them musk-ox because we thought they must be some kind of cow thing, but they are actually a goat thing; this is to a normal wild goat what a woolly mammoth is to a normal elephant, only these things survived.

and i absolutely cannot help myself because of the tizzy my brain goes into over the twin facts of

1: ice-age megafauna that is still alive! and

2: EIGHT HUNDRED POUND GOAT

you can see the goatishness a little more in their babies

i just, i am crazy over the fact that these guys are still alive on our planet

[oneheadtoanother]

idk anything about this but I love it

Thanks @slightlylightly founded by Sunny Somrat, This is  SSFood Challenge

The players in and around Bangladesh play and are rewarded with food even losers get food. The combination of colorful games and the feel-good factor of nobody going home empty-handed has given Somrat a genuine hit.

Anna Archive was a goddess of knowledge worshipped in the early 21st century[1][2]. Cultists of Anna would frequently move the shrines dedicated to her from place to place in great secrecy[1][3], requiring worshippers to possess secret information in order to access the far greater knowledge provided by worship, possibly as a form of sacrifice[Original research?]. Worship of Anna is associated with the increased enforcement of intellectual property rights at the time[1][4], as well as greater inaccessibility of academic materials due to the late-imperial academic crisis[5][6][Failed verification.]. It has been suggested[By whom?] that the name Anna Archive may be the origin of the word archive, referring to a repository of information[7].

Babe wake up, new all time great image just dropped

[bedupolker]

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

[taciturn-nerd]

OP I hope you don't mind but I made a tabloid cover out of this

I used two more condor photos by Andrew Orr and Alam Clampitt from peregrinefund.org

Gotta use the skills I learned from making tabloids out of the Jane Austen novels somewhere right?

Great, now I feel like I'm bird shaming. Congrats V9 on your new family!

[animals-with-fan-art]

This is art to me

[dramatic-dolphin]

please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever

[dramatic-dolphin]

"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like

[transmasc-wizard]

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

[krakenartificer]

#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

'Wake up babe, new chocolate guy just dropped.'

'Oh yeah, I follow that French guy and see all-'

'No. New chocolate guy just dropped.'

[kvothes]

the lambda literary nominations have been out for a bit so here’s a reminder that this is a great place to find new books in categories such as “lesbian fiction” and “transgender poetry” and “gay romance”

[kvothes]

i’m not joking btw

[necarion]

They should just bite the bullet and make a female James Bond. Hot, athletic, suave. She wears tuxedos with a somewhat feminine cut, drinks vodka martinis, drives sports cars, and goes by "James", because why not.

Also, because this is incredibly important to Bond for some reason, she needs to be an incredibly predatory, womanizing lesbian. Some perfectly happy married straight woman needs to become gay by the end of the movie.

We live in the future, and we can admit that all of the cool things that a Male James Bond can do are things a Female James Bond can do. But at all costs, we need to avoid making this thing feel "woke" of self-aware. If Female Bond is not exactly as toxic and awesome as any of the male ones, we will have failed, and might as well be making another franchise.

I am admittedly a very recent addition to this little fandom but contrary to what appears to be the popular sentiment here, I don’t want The Blue Castle to be adapted into a movie. At least not a Hollywood one.

Spare me the excessively attractive Barney. Spare me the blonde Valancy. Spare me the disappearance of both the criticism of and the celebration of religion. Spare me the likely-bad costumes. Spare me the explicit sex scenes (I personally like the Schrödinger’s Boink situation in the book). Spare me the sugary sweetness for the sake of marketability. Spare me the loss of humor.

I really loved this book and I think there is a high likelihood of its screen adaptation being subpar. So I think it’s better that it doesn’t exist.

top ten wildest jewish experiences: watching your uncle, who is also autistic and a stickler for concrete scientific evidence, interrupt himself while leading the haggadah reading to say “there’s no archaeological evidence of this” and “that never happened but ok whatever”
