this āblondeā gentoo penguin is part of a wild colony in antartica. the penguin is affected by a condition called leucism, a reduction in pigments in the birdās feathers that leads to the overall paler look. while birds with leucism rarely survive for long, the last report about this penguin indicated it had survived for over three years.

How I Teach Men Not To Talk Over Me: from one feminist to another, when basic respect is lagging and conversations are impossible
Iāve done this to several men, and they catch on rather quickly. Youāll be able to have a conversation right then and there, and it works long term too - they mightāve forgot their manners by the time you talk to them again, but by repeating this, theyāll eventually learn to let you talk without you having to do this at the start of every convo. Source: I have a very stubborn older brother, who eventually learned too.
1. When they interrupt you, stop talking. Donāt try to raise your voice or battle them. Be completely quiet and wait.
2. Ignore everything theyāre saying. Do not actually listen - just wait until they shut up. Donāt make a point of anything they say, do not answer to anything they say, do not refer to anything they say here. Literally do not listen a single word. Let them rant as long as they want.
3. When they finally shut up and wait for your reaction, say: āI wasnāt done talking.ā
4. Start over whatever you were saying when they interrupted you. I donāt care if it was a 10-minute explanation of rocket science. Start. Over. Repeat you original thought, but do not add anything related to what they just said while talking over you. That gives them the idea that itās okay to interrupt you, youāll still listen and pay attention and theyāll get their point clear without having to listen to yours. (Itās especially funny when you get done and they expect you to keep going talking about whatever they talked over you. The face when it sinks in that you didnāt listen a single word is glorious.)
5. If they interrupt you again, return to step 1. If you find yourself repeating the cycle over 3 times, tell them: āyouāre not letting me speak. Either you listen and wait for your turn, or our conversation ends here.ā If they try to make excuses, laugh it off or keep interrupting, end the conversation. Prove them that if they wont let you speak, theyāre not worth your time.
Why does this work? First, because sometimes talking over is internalized and men donāt actually notice theyāre doing it. Being vocally called out makes them realize it and pay attention to it - especially if it happens more than once. Secondly, by refusing to aknowledge anything they say when they interrupt you, theyāll soon realize they will not get their own point across if they keep doing that. Peoole and especially men have the need to be heard and paid attention to when they talk - when you make it clear that by talking over you, they will not have your attention, theyāll learn to wait until youāre done, because they know thatās when you will be paying attention and actually listening.
Go my darlings. Have some actual conversations where your point of view is just as valid as his. Demand the basic respect of being heard. You can actually have some interesting conversations with men when theyāre forced to listen too, when being louder is not going to make them feel like theyāre dominating the conversation or winning the argument.
This is gonna be fun.

Yāknow I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.
Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.
Someone who drowns in 7 feet of water is just as dead as someone who drowns in 20 feet of water. Stop comparing traumas, stop belittling your or anyone elseās trauma because it wasnāt āas badā as someone elseās. This isnāt a competition, we all deserve support and recovery.
my girlfriend turned over in the night, and whispered āare you awake?ā. When I replied āyesā she said, āokay good, I just wanted to say I love youā then she rolled over and fell back to sleep
i honestly canāt wait for a relationship like this, wow.
Me: I really want to send a message to you.
Thinks: if they wanted to talk to me, they would be doing it already.

Everyone: we want more LGBT+ characters in our stories !
Rick Riordan: okay here have a gay Italian sad boy
Everyone: I mean, itās all right but-ā¦
Rick Riordan: I understand. Want a bisexual main character, who happens to be a god?
Everyone: oh thatās actually niceā¦but! How about girls-
Rick Riordan: youāre totally right. Here have a pair of lesbian hunters
Everyone: ā¦um this is actually pretty niceā¦how about-
Rick Riordan: a pansexual main character?
Everyone: yea-
Rick Riordan: with a gender fluid love interest? Say no more! Anything else?
Everyone:
I donāt knowā¦ why not an aro/ace character maybe ?

This is why Rick Riordan is so important
He is like little baby
reblog for riordan. love this guy! also, when he got the Stonewall Award for the Magnus Chase series? his response:
āā¦itās a call to do better in my own writing. As one of my genderqueer readers told me recently, āHey, thanks for Alex. You didnāt do a terrible job!ā I thought: Yes! Not doing a terrible job was my goal!ā
love it.
I can not explain how much I love rick roairdane.
Rick Riordan is also using his money and fame to lift marginalized authors. He started a whole imprint called Rick Riordan Presents. The books published there have mythology and folklore from all over the world, and theyāre written by authors who actually belong to those cultures. The first three books announced have stories based in Korean, Mayan, and Indian cultures, written by Yoon Ha Lee, Jennifer Cervantes, and Roshani Chokshi respectively.
Rick Riordan is pretty fucking cool. Ive never seen a YA put as much care and effort into growing as a writer, specifically with a focus on increasing diversity, as him.
The fact that heās a UT alum from San Antonio who taught middle school English just warms my heart.

my favorite Millennial Thingā¢ is when a group of us are standing around and talking and someone asks a question that no one knows the answer to and suddenly itās a race to get out your phone and google it and be the first to know, and then someone starts reading the Wikipedia article about the thing aloud to everyone else, and what started as a casual conversation is now A Learning Opportunity and we all walk away a little more knowledgeable about a random topic
Like, Boomers hate when we do that, but I think itās one of the best things about us.
So long as we have internet or a cell signal, all of the worldās collective knowledge is at our fingertips, and damned if we arenāt going to use it.
My dad always get mad when I do this. Heās always like āWe didnāt need to know.ā That makes no sense to me. Why would that make me ignore my ability to learn something? I donāt always *need* to know but that doesnāt mean Iām going to pass up an opportunity to learn something new.
Why carry a supercomputer around in your pocket if youāre not gonna use it?
Weā¦didnātā¦needā¦to know?
Whut?
Thatā¦that makes my head hurt.Ā
I need to know everything.Ā
Even if I forget it a day later, I knew it for a while, and thatās good
