Check out my new invention: sand handitizer. It turns sand into hands and makes the beach absolutely atrocious. Thank you.
im worried that people who consume phoenix wright content without playing the games might not know that phoenix wright is a huge bitch. like in the courtroom chapters he's up against miles edgeworth who is the Queen Bitch so he comes off like a himbo. but half the game is you walking this man around investigating he's just making snippy little comments about everyone and he doesn't always verbalize them but it's like a good quarter of the experience and that's Why it's so fun to watch him go up against miles edgeworth who is probably the only person who knows he's such a bitch and he puts on a smug smile n goes "ohh no don't be mean to me edgeworth im a little birthday boy!!" and dumbs his way into winning the case. insane. incredible
A lot of the famous Greek and Roman statues have or had lingering paint on them, but ‘Western’ audiences got so used to the black and white photos that people thought the real images with colour had been edited or vandalised, so books still print black and white photos of these statues, often even when colour is an option.
Do you hate Valentine’s Day? Does it make you feel lonely and sad?
Great news bestie, I have the perfect replacement holiday for you:
James “Colonizer Bitch” Cook was murdered in Hawai’i by my ancestors on Feb 14th, 1779, on Kealakekua Bay. This iconic move ended his reign of terror across the Pacific, where he ruined everything and was overall a massive dick. Buy yourself some chocolate and fondly remember how Kānaka Maoli stabbed James to death and burned his corpse. It’s the perfect holiday for all ages ❤️
Rest in pieces James Cook, you haole bitch.
James, Cooked
So in the past few years I’ve seen so many videos / posts that are like:
“Actually wolves don’t have hierarchies! They live in family groups where the ‘alphas’ are mom and dad and the other wolves are their CHILDREN and offer their respect willingly! :D”
and I just have to say
how dare you try to make normative nuclear families out of wolves
Yes, a lot of the old “nature red in tooth and claw” stuff about wolves is nonsense. (Like anything from Jack London.) And anything ‘alpha’ you see sleazy men trying to relate to dating (yikes!) is especially nonsense.
But wolves are complex social creatures and they create complex social structures. Just as you can’t say “THIS is the way human society is structured. Just THIS single way and no other”, so too there is no single form for a wolf pack.
Some packs are a mom wolf and a dad wolf and their wolf children. Others are two small ragged packs that combine to form a large pack. Others are packs where a lone wolf joins and eventually becomes a leader. Others are packs where a grown child-wolf has pushed their parent out of the leadership role.
Speaking of the latter, let’s look at the tale of Wolf 40 and Wolf 42.
Wolf 40, Wolf 41, and Wolf 42 were wild Yellowstone wolves, daughters of the alphas. Their father was illegally killed by hunters and shortly after ambitious Wolf 40 ousted her mother, driving her out of the pack. Wolf 21 became the new alpha male, and 40′s mate.
Wolves have personalities, and Wolf 40′s personality was “volatile”. Imagine Scar from The Lion King combined with the boss from Office Space, and you have Wolf 40. She habitually bullied the other female wolves, attacking them until they expressed abject submission. And the wolves that got the worst of it were her sisters, Wolves 41 and 42.
Wolf 41 got tired of the bullying and left. Wolf 42 remained, perhaps because she was close to Wolf 21, the alpha male. Despite that, Wolf 21 did not interfere when his mate harassed Wolf 42.
Unlike 40, Wolf 42 got along well with the other female wolves, spending time grooming them and relaxing with them. Wolf 40 could have followed her sister’s example and built up positive social bonds. But she didn’t.
One day, Wolf 40 went out on an important task. She was going to kill another litter of her sister’s pups–having done the same in two previous years. This isn’t uncommon wolf behavior (but is not universal, as we will see.) Typically only the alphas breed.
However, Wolf 40 never returned from her important task because Wolf 42–who previously had submitted to her alpha and sister, who had allowed the killing of two previous litters of pups–had had enough. She fought back.
And the other female wolves jumped to aid her.
Collectively, they killed Wolf 40. Because “alpha” isn’t a magic cloak of protection, it doesn’t even mean “strongest wolf”, it’s just a job title.
The next day Wolf 42 carried her pups, one by one, to her sister’s den. She set her children among the pups of her dead sister and raised both litters together. And when another wolf in the pack had pups, Wolf 42 carried them to the den to be communally raised as well. She was the alpha female now and she made the rules, and the first rule was “we don’t hurt pups here.”
As for Wolf 21, he became the mate of Wolf 42. Maybe he understood that Wolf 40 had been riding for a fall.
As alpha female, Wolf 42 continued to be supportive and kind towards the other pack members. Wolves who had been nervous wrecks under Wolf 40 began to relax and come into their own; one of the former omega wolves gained self-confidence and became one of the best hunters.
“Alpha”, for wolves, just means leader. They might be good leaders, whom you respect, or they might be bad leaders, who fill you with dread. They might be your parents, or they might not. Even if they are your mother or father, wolves don’t contextualize those relationships the same way humans do.
But one thing wolves have in common with humans is that they have individual personalities and experiences, and their actions derive from those. There is no “typical wolf pack.” And I think that’s beautiful.
If you want to learn more about wild wolf dynamics, I recommend reading the annual Yellowstone Wolf Project Reports. Which are FASCINATING. There are also some good wildlife specials out there.
Wolves are my favorite animal. <3 It pains me to see them misunderstood as crazed bloodthirsty brutes, but it also pains me to see them woobified. They deserve better than that.
Gentle reminder to ALWAYS REPORT and BLOCK when you see a post promoting hate speech against the Trans Community!
NEVER INTERACT with them because interacting will allow violators to find and harass the trans people you follow!
This is the best way to keep the Community safe!
Yeah science
In love with her energy
That was seriously informative
just pirated my ethics textbook. was this wrong of me? who’s to say. i’ll find out soon enough
the important question is of course: are you a chucks, docs or vans person?
I know not what you mean I wear New Balance for my narrow little heels and disproportionately wide toe base. Also I can afford them.

Finally someone is saying it
Every fandom needs to hear this.
A pedestal is a tiny constrained place to stand in. Why would anyone want to be there?

So boycotting is not something the strikers have requested, but this kind of social attention? IS VERY BAD FOR THE COMPANY. IT’S BAD PUBLICITY.
I would say this is a very good thing, pointing out the unfair terms PUBLICLY.
They also did call for a boycott AFTER the mass firing
https://www.nationofchange.org/2021/12/14/striking-kelloggs-workers-vow-to-hold-out-for-better-contract-urge-boycott-of-companys-products/
Oh shit new information
Never mind, put them on blast and boycott as much as you can.
mental disorders are just names which group together observed experiences as made visible by psychiatric institutions and i wish this was more widely understood theyre not like some ontological attribute in your brain
...mostly, and more or less. There are a few (very few) mental disorders where the mechanisms are mostly understood, but usually those get labelled "diseases" instead of "disorders". Mad Cow disease mostly effects the brain and brain stem, but we know why inasmuch as we understand disease elsewhere in the body so we stopped calling it a disorder. Same with mercury poisoning. But schizophrenia is kinda suspended between the two. Because there is a known ontological attribute, but we don't understand it much. It's possible that some other things we currently call mental disorders are caused by, say, air pollution or an error in brain chemistry, and we just don't know enough about the brain to notice.
Yeah, like the mechanisms that make up these disorders are knowable, but not always known. There’s a reason brains are malfunctioning in certain ways, there’s something objective behind it. But figuring out what it IS is a hugely complicated and ever-evolving business, like any so-called ‘soft science’, and it’s further complicated and hampered by social stigma and traditionalism to boot. So like... the labels aren’t everything. They let you know that other people experience something similar and that there’s potential treatment for it, though, so that’s good.
white lgbt ppl dont know how much trouble theyve caused for us -_-
white lgbt ppl will constantly have to be informed about racism and nonwhite issues bc they're only ever friends w other white people, speak over lgbt ppl of color when it comes to representation and problems in media, not acknowledge when white supremacy feeds into intracommunity bigotry. and then say things like "the lgbt community shouldn't be at odds with each other! 😤" i don't know if you guys know how big a split there is between you and us at the best of times
white gays can reblog this if u can keep ur mouth shut
full offense ya’ll don’t have to announce you’re white, very white savior-y, just reblog the post and stop trying to use people’s struggles to make yourselves look good
