Hey so you know how sapphics are called sapphics because of Sappho the person and how lesbians are called lesbians because she was from the island of Lesbos?

All I'm saying is, "from kyoshi" is definitely slang for "queer woman" in the atla-verse

Gave Quorra some glow in her hair- not sure where she got it, maybe it's an ISO aging thing, but I like to give characters my own personal touches sometimes

this is gonna sound really bitchy but some people really need to learn to realize when someone isn't talking to them. if you don't like beans then the lady posting a bean soup recipe isn't fucking talking to you. if you dont like reading then the people who post about the books they're reading aren't fucking talking to you.

I wanna start saying "not you, rabbit ears" bc that's what my dad always said growing up but idk if the tone will come across.

went to a new optometrist today wearing my squid facts ‘save our freaks’ shirt from @sarahmackattack that has a strawberry squid on it. and i wasn’t even thinking about it but the optometrist walked in and he was like ‘oh what does your shirt say’ so i showed him and he was like ‘oh that’s neat!’ and then i thought he might like to know about strawberry squid eyes since they have weird eyes and he is an optometrist and all. so i was like ‘yeah it’s actually a real kind of squid called a strawberry squid, their eyes are really cool because they have one big yellow-green one and one small blue one’ and he kind of gasped and went ‘oh my god that’s so interesting i wonder why they have that. do you know what their retina composition is like?’ and i watched as he minimized my chart on the computer and started looking up images of strawberry squid and then he googled ‘strawberry squid retina composition’ and he was like ‘sorry we’ll get to your eye exam in a moment i just really want to find out’ LMAO 10/10 optometrist experience will be returning

[sarahmackattack]

Hell yeah

[soychronicprocrastinator]

He’s in the right for that this is so cool

If you notice there's less lightning bugs around then there was when you were young, you aren't going crazy. Lightning bugs/fireflies are becoming endangered!

Above is a video from one of my favorite youtubers, Ze Frank, that goes into more detail.

Lightning bug conservation is not being funded, so the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation requires donations to further their research. The aim is to establish lighting bug sanctuaries and begin habitat restoration efforts.

Studying these little guys has done so much for us in many different fields including medicine! It's important that lightning bugs are protected so future generations can experience that magical feeling of sitting in a field surrounded by little lights.

Firefly Conservation | Xerces Society

Fireflies are cherished, but they are also declining. Based on assessments published on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s

Please consider donating! Every bit helps🐝

Reblogs are appreciated!

Summertime is approaching, prime lightning bug season. Bringing this post back because there's still work to be done! The Xerces Society does more then just protect lightning bugs, but butterflies and bees too!

They also have a free PDF guide on how to make your yard/property/garden as firefly safe as possible!

Conserving the Jewels of the Night | Xerces Society

Fireflies are some of our most celebrated insects. They have immense cultural, biological, and economic importance and are important compone

Long live the fireflies!

It took me a solid thirty seconds to realize that Phragmites was probably the genus name of the plants in the picture and not, like, an ancient Greek warrior waiting in the marshes to attack.

Some people on the metlife walk topic are like "Americans, you're being trolled and you don't even realize"

babe do you know how many European tourists regularly almost die because they overestimated themselves

Not everything is as extreme as the death valley Germans but European tourists FAMOUSLY do this shit everywhere that isn't Europe. Some people may be trolling, but history says that a non-zero quantity are deadly serious.

[phoenixyfriend]

Americans are saying this because. It. Happens.

"I can walk that" no you can't "I don't need water" yes you do "It's just a few hours" it is not

"They're just trolling you, none of us are actually going to--" people do. Every damn day. Maybe not this exactly. Usually it's in the national parks. But something similarly dumb. And it's VERY OFTEN Europeans.

Europeans in particular are just so used to everything being Small, and the idea that Americans in particular are too stupid to live and that they, as Europeans, are inherently smarter... and honestly, I agree with that person who said that it's a little bit of white supremacy happening.

The idea that someone in another country just needs to be shown the way, that you can manage their land and culture better than they can, that you are smarter and more resourceful, that's the supremacy talking. Doesn't have to be white, really, but if it's Europeans.... yeah, babe.

The National Parks have a death toll and it's not because all Americans are inherently stupid; the assumption that it is leads to more Europeans getting in trouble than otherwise might have.

American roads have a death toll and it's not because all Americans are inherently stupid. We can assume here as well that history will repeat itself, and that Europeans will assume that it is, and get in more trouble than they otherwise might have.

[phoenixyfriend]

Also the general irony of saying that, of all Americans, it's the NJ/NYC folk that don't know how to walk.

If every other city isn't commenting about their local stadium, but Manhattanites are telling you that you can't walk somewhere, maybe. Maybe sit down and listen.

I considered walking to Met Life once, at least partway, from Manhattan, because it's Just Across The River from where I work. And then I checked. And I decided to do the sane thing and take the train.

#I have worked in the tourist industry and can confirm #Europeans can do dumb touristy shit #the most common is underestimating the distance of things in America #and not understanding the weather#so everything about this is very believable to me #also can confirm they suck at national parks #I am not going into details but I’ve seen some people massively dismiss the challenges of American terrain (via @spockwithacat)

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

[hungry-skeleton]

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing

Reblog this, cowards

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

No, Your Child Is Not Addicted to Sugar

Diet culture, not food, is to blame for compulsive behaviors.

“One of my first encounters with this perception that food could be addictive was early in my career. An acquaintance of mine had struggled with the belief that she couldn’t be trusted with certain types of foods. As such, she innocently thought not allowing these foods in her home would help her son develop a healthier relationship with the foods than she had. As her son grew older, however, I witnessed him sneak and frantically eat these foods when his parents weren’t around. The efforts to restrain his eating and desire for those foods backfired. This was not an issue of food addiction. It was a case of restricted exposure.

This fear of so-called food addiction, for adults and children alike, makes sense in our crazed diet culture. Diet culture doesn’t just encroach on our gyms and social circles, it’s become an insidious and overlooked contributor to media, medicine and top-tier research institutions. When well-respected news outlets report on the “dangers” of eating sugar and Yale University creates a food addiction scale, the public listens.”

[bigfatscience]

I can always spot a kid who is being raised in a food restricting house. They gorge on sweets (or any palatable food, really) as soon as they have the opportunity. They seem ashamed of their desires, often asking for seconds with a look of sadness, anticipating the “no” they have learned to expect. Or they take the food surreptitiously, trying not to be seen, eyes darting to the adults to see if they have been discovered. Others decline sweets or pizza or birthday cake, quoting some moralistic fears they have learned. But their hungry eyes betray them, silently observing their friends’ every bite.

It’s pretty sad. And achingly familiar.

Raising our kids to be intuitive, competent eaters has been one of the best decisions we ever made. It is as healing for us as it is for them. It is amazing to see how bodies naturally regulate hunger, fullness, and cravings when left to their own devices.
