Married Anthony is lowkey the funniest character in Bridgerton. His rage is still slowly burning under the surface but his wife waltzes in and goes “don’t worry dear it’ll be fine” and he’s just like “yeah you’re soooo right and soooo hot.” As he should

the way twitter users talk about this place as if it doesn't exist anymore is so funny to me

I love it when the little kids I’m teaching online have complete and total misconceptions of what’s going on. So far, I’ve encountered the following:

1. I had been teaching a little girl for several months, when one day she said to me: “My mother says you’re a real person, not an app. If you’re a real person, show me your husband.”

2. I was about to end a class, but the little girl I was teaching didn’t want the class to end. She turned to her mom and asked if she could please watch one more episode. Turns out she was under the impression that I was a very interactive TV program.

3. I couldn’t find my marker in class today. The boy I was teaching was like, “What’s your apartment number? I’ll come up and help you find it!” The boy lives in China and I live in the United States. I guess most people he knows live in the same building as him, so he assumed I did too.

4. I had been teaching a kid for quite some time when I mentioned my age in class. She was like, “Wait, you’re an adult????” She’d thought I was twelve.

5. I’ve been teaching this 5-year-old boy from Turkey for a while. Upon coming back from a family vacation to the United States he greeted me with, “I looked for you EVERYWHERE while I was in America, but I couldn’t find you!!” Apparently, it was quite a cross country trip, because he described searching for me in landmarks from LA to New York. I reminded him that I’d moved to Poland, but he insisted that since I am American he should have definitely been able to find me in America.

“You see him? That man down there? He must be drunk… because he’s been sitting there for hours. He looks homeless too, if I had to guess. He’s going to freeze to death if he stays out there any longer. And no one is going over to help or anything. Would you help out that guy? You think that you will stop walking and help that disgusting, stinking drunk, little piece of trash, huh?” — Squid Game

the theme that always resonates me the most in stories is “the world is cruel; therefore I won’t be.”

Keeping in mind what's happening in Afghanistan rn, I want everyone to know that the Taliban do not represent what Islam stands for. Pray for Afghanistan

A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization?” The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon. Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.” A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend. Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur.

Fun fact! This is a Dmanisi skull from Georgia, another type of hominin to us. 

Notice that jaw? When we lose our teeth, over time our jawbone heals the gaps, making it smooth, so when archaeologists discover skulls centuries later they can tell whether the tooth was lost after death (as the bone didn’t grow to cover the hole) or during the individual’s life.

The majority of this jaw has healed, so this person would have lived a number of years with basically no teeth. The age of this skull, according to wiki, is 1.8 million years.

This means that millions of years ago this person had a diet with soft, easy foods, and that others in the group would have known, understood, and helped by specialising their foraging for this one individual.

Or, in the words of my lecturer when we covered this, “Someone would have had to chew up this person’s food for them. Every day. Multiple times. For years.”
