i think most of my problems would not exist if i weren't such a hubristic being

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

there is no final version of yourself. we never stop growing or changing, nor should we. stop beating yourself up for not being ‘there’ yet.

day whatever of quarantine: no brain just horny

[helperhoopoe]

stop insulting yourself. it doesn’t help.

[rottentrauma]

But what if it’s true

[helperhoopoe]

it still doesn’t help. you can call yourself as many names as you want, but it won’t make you a better, happier, healthier or kinder person.

punishment doesn’t work. only positive reinforcement does. be kind to yourself and get better.

[queencatradora]

do you ever wonder why stephanie meyer had the cullens live in a small town to preserve their “anonymity?” has she ever been to a small town??? small town people got nothing to do all day, other than to gossip and think about those weird people that live in the forest. if anything, they’re getting the opposite of anonymity. you want real anonymity? live in a big city. you could live next to someone for 5 years and never even learn their name. they’re up all night? they’re beautiful, looks like they had some crazy good plastic surgery? you never see them go outside? somehow hella fuckin rich? yeah. That’s LA

I called my cat “my son” in front of my dad ONE TIME and now every time he wants the cat to leave him alone, he says “go see your father!”

the crew goes out into the forest just to film random b-roll shit and the director accidentally finds the like..rarest worm on earth so they run back to their house like COYOTE LOOK and then there is a very heartfelt and sincere response to weird worm including an entire mounted piece of wall art apparently

I’m real happy that this man is out there living his dream life. All he wants is marvel at nature and writhe in pain for a camera, and he gets to do both as his job.

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.

[maverick-ornithography]

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!

[cannedtins-deactivated20201027]

this is interesting but 

If you watch the smaller of their young

why did you word it like that

[maverick-ornithography]

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
