Bathing with whole yuzu fruits on Tōji, the winter solstice, is a custom that dates to the early 18th century in Japan - just like these happy capybaras at Izu Shaboten Park (伊豆シャボテン公園)

Close-Up of the First Mechanical Gear Ever Found in Nature

The biological form of a mechanical gear was observed in nature for the first time in juvenile planthoppers (Genus: Issus), a common insect that can be found in gardens across Europe.

The insect has hind-leg joints with curved cog-like strips of opposing ‘teeth’ that intermesh, rotating like mechanical gears to synchronize the animal’s legs when it launches into a jump. The finding demonstrates that gear mechanisms previously thought to be solely man-made have an evolutionary precedent.

17 Struggles All Suburban Black Kids Know Too Well by Pedro Fequiere

Meeting that one friend’s parent that you didn’t know was racist

Being the prime suspect of whatever was stolen at a house party

Your parents encouraging you to make friends with the only other black kids in the neighborhood even though you have your own friends

Not understanding all black culture references because you didn’t have as many black friends to experience them with

People coming back from spring break and comparing their tan to your skin

Searching far and wide for a salon that can do your hair

And people freely touching and grabbing your hair

Being called an Oreo, because… you’re not reeaally black

People assuming you’re good at any and all sports

Everyone looking to you to explain and demonstrate new dance crazes

People dialing their slang up a couple notches when talking to you

Swimming in a neighbor’s pool and having everyone marvel at how your hair reacts to water

People assuming that you have a huge crush on the only other black person in school

That moment when you learn about slavery in class and you can feel everyone staring at you

Being way more cautious than your friends about typical suburban mischief

People saying “You sound white,” because you speak proper English

Feeling constant pressure to represent your entire race, rather than just yourself

[ororomunroedontpullout]

It’s not proper English. AAV isn’t wrong or improper. This is the shit I’m talking about but this post is super important anyway
