Say it LOUDER!!!!

[grymmdark]

im not christian, but i have encountered so many transphobic christians that actually hearing someone in a position of authority in their religion actively support trans people makes me feel like maybe there is hope

[tacticalcinnamonroll]

More leaders in the traditionalist branches/denominations/etc. need to speak out like this. When compassion, kindness and love lead both beliefs and actions, then lives are valued, saved, and cherished. And if that's not the point, then what is? What righteousness can there ever be in cruelty? Whose pocket does it pick, whose leg does it break to simply be kind? If not now, when?

I like to think back to this whenever I’m scared to start a new hobby

This is also the reason as to why I save and document as much of my art and writing as I can; you can look at your progress over time :)

Yep. Screw up, first. Liberally and repeatedly; and get used to the response.

Because even more of the same will come along when you succeed. 😏

I adore this recent trend (if that's the right word) of letting an orchestra play classical music on a festival. It's magical to see thousands of festival-goers going absolutely wild on Beethoven. Mosh/circlepits, crowd surfing. It's wonderful to see the orchestra and the audience having the time of their lives.

They have to keep it on easy going Beethoven like Ode to Joy here to ensure a more docile response. They cant play In the Hall of the Mountain King cause they were already burning down venues when Grieg dropped that one back in 1875, today there would be a radioactive crater.

rats can drive cars btw. if u even care

[alleycatboy]

fun fact: the lab rats got into the cars and drove on their own free time, even without any treat or reward being offered

[alleycatboy]

fun fact #2: the scientists actually found that the rats stress levels were lowered while driving, implying that rats find cars therapeutic

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I love the whole branch of cognitive experimentation that just amounts to “we taught rats a fun new game and they really liked it”

I told a kid in my class the other day that it was going to be the year of the tiger! This kid is a kindergartner, five years old.

Usually there’s some interest when I bring this up, but this kid sort of sat with that for a couple minutes, expression settling into a thousand yard stare. Just as I was wondering if something was wrong, he looked at me with his haunted eyes and asked, in a tone of resignation: “When are the tigers coming?”

I had to quickly reassure him that the year of the tiger was like…an animal assigned to the year, and not another plague or natural disaster! Between the Covid, lockdowns, and huge flood of cicadas last year this child probably decided that this was in line with how the world worked and was mentally getting his affairs in order.

Archaeology: it is mandatory, it is ritualic.

[beowulf22121]

Fun fact about archeology!

if it's a rock and you lick it, your tongue got a little dirty.

If it's a bone, it sticks to your tongue.

Bones remember being inside a body where they could be wet all the time, and they want to return to that state.

If I played my shite out loud I wouldn’t be able to hear it over the voice in my head telling me I’m a rude bitch who should turn it down.
