Let Other Pens Dwell On Guilt And Misery @official-lizard - Tumblr Blog

Mom: You don’t shave your legs OR your armpits? Me: No Mom: Are you serious? Personal hygiene! Me: Yeah? Personal hygiene? Then make my brother shave too.

That fact that this is actually getting notes is so beautiful, man.

I actually told this to my mom when she told me to shave. She said that it was different for my older brother to grow hair because he was a boy I just kinda stared at her for a minute

🚨shaving is not hygienic it’s cosmetic🚨

mintedwitcher

I cant shave down to the skin bc it actually hurts my skin but even with trimmed body hair, i STILL get the ~~personal hygiene~~ bullshit. I am clean, my body hair is clean, there’s nothing gross about clean hair. To reiterate:

Shaving is not hygiene, it’s cosmetic

yeet-the-rich-byfalloutboy

Also by only saying this to girls, people are admitting either

That they’re unfairly stigmatizing women and girls as “unclean” (how original)

That men are unhygienic for not shaving and that’s ok

Fuck shaving. Destroy capitalism. Cull the patriarchy.

I watched this so many times last night that I dreamt I showed this video to everyone I came across

concealedblade-deactivated20210

the fact that this video file physically starts 3 seconds before the looped video starts really adds to the experience as a whole

PSA: journalists aren’t supposed to put names in the headlines if the person isn’t a public figure. It’s not a matter of maliciously not giving credit

^^^as a journalist, this is something that bothers me ALL THE TIME

A friend of mine on Twitter explained this the other day, so to elaborate based on what she said: If the name is not instantly recognizable the way a public figure is, then putting the name in the headline isn’t going to bring about any sort of recognition or connection in the reader, and doesn’t do much to draw the reader into the story. But something like “local teen” does create a connection by tying the person into the community, and encourages the reader to learn more about what this local teen has done. The name will be in the article itself, after the headline has done its job at getting the reader to look into it.

It’s worth noting too that usually, according to the Inverted Pyramid writing style used for journalism where the most important information is shared first, the person’s name is usually in the first sentence of the first paragraph.

Whenever I see someone get up at arms over a headline that says “Local Teen” and the first comment is “SAY THEIR NAME” I’m always like “hey, thanks for telling every journalist present that you don’t read articles and just skim headlines.” Really makes us feel appreciated.

I think this Onion headline illustrates the point pretty well

Hold still. This creature was recorded going 2,569 days without moving.

Salamanders play the long game, with many species living surprisingly long lives. But among these enduring amphibians, there is one outlier – the olm, also known as the proteus.

It has been well documented that these small white cave-dwelling salamanders can live well into their hundreds, but scientists have now gained new insight into the creatures’ glacial pace of life.

In a study which makes sloths look recklessly hyperactive, divers documenting the movements of olms in Herzegovinian caves found that over a decade, individuals tended to move less than 10 metres in total.

However, one extraordinarily inert individual was found not to have bothered moving once in over seven years.

Olms have no predators, are highly resistant to starvation – able to go without food for several years – are blind and live in complete darkness underground and underwater.

They are apparently only compelled to move in order to mate, which they do on average around once every 12.5 years.

In the caves in which they dwell food is typically scarce, but when they are able, olms feed on small crustaceans such as small shrimps, snails and occasionally insects.

You know, toy story 4 would have been cool if Woody was like this. Andy would shit bricks if Woody suddenly came up to him lick this ready to tear him apart like a dang chicken wing.

Fun fact! The bacteria in your mouth dont eat your enamel! They only eat sugars and such. The stuff that eats your enamel is the byproduct produced by the digestive process of the bacteria. In other words, the thing that causes tooth decay is the bacteria’s equivalent of shit, not the bacteria themselves!
