Mimic Octopus

This sea creature can mimic the behaviors and various shapes of different animals it sees. They are highly intelligent and use their ability to camouflage and avoid predators. It is so intelligent that it will actually mimic a sea creature that its predators is afraid of. For example, scientists observed that when the octopus was attacked by territorial damselfishes, it mimicked the banded sea snake, a known predator of damselfishes.

It can mimic sea creatures like the sole fish, lion fish, sea snakes, frog fish and more.

EXCEPT THIS ISNT JUST A FUNNY HAHA SILLY HEADLINE GUYS

this is really important and is a really great program that teaches skills to inmates and allows them to basically receive group therapy while they are simultaneously learning a craft

IT IS ALSO REALLY RADICAL BECAUSE IT BREAKS NOT ONLY THE STEREOTYPE THAT INMATES ARE INCAPABLE OF BEING DECENT HUMAN BEINGS WHO CAN TALK OUT THEIR ISSUES AND HEAL AND BE FUNCTIONING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY BUT IT ALSO SHOWS THAT TRADITIONALLY GENDERED HOBBIES LIKE KNITTING ARENT JUST “FOR WOMEN” AND ARE ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE.

here is an from the above article

They started by knitting comfort dolls, which they gave to children removed from their homes because of domestic issues. Then they moved on to hats for kids at the inner-city elementary school many of the prisoners attended, Zwerling says. “If you look at them, they’re covered with tattoos, they’re rough looking, and many of the young guys don’t have all their teeth,” she says. “But it doesn’t feel rough. They’re very respectful and grateful and very happy to knit.”

THEY KNIT COMFORT ITEMS FOR ABUSED KIDS. THEY KNIT HATS FOR INNER-CITY CHILDREN.

this is a good program and i really hope that people actually look into it rather than just posting the headline and a silly image attached ok

What would happen if I killed all the people in my life who caused me trouble?

Murder. I’m not a lawyer or anything. But I’ll go with murder.

So if wheat and wheat by-products are illegal, what do they sell at Arby's in Night Vale?

Sensations of regret. Bags full of whispers about your cousins. Long pensive stares. Various used books with strange markings. The occasional human foot. A crystal door knob with bloody fingerprints on it. Salad.

If anyone ever tries to tell you depression doesn’t affect you physically, they’ve obviously never woken up the day after a really shitty stint of arguing with their own brain over the merits of continued breathing, wondering if they maybe ran a marathon while sleeping.

"There is a fundamental concern that the content of such magazines normalizes the treatment of women as sexual objects. We are not killjoys or prudes who think that there should be no sexual information and media for young people. But are teenage boys and young men best prepared for fulfilling love and sex when they normalize views about women that are disturbingly close to those mirrored in the language of sexual offenders?" - Dr. Peter Hegarty

But rape culture doesn’t exist, right?

I am legit scared because I was sure every single one was from a rapist

There’s also been studies suggesting porn has the same effect, as well as increasing the violence of men in bed. 

And even if you think you’re not one of them, if you buy into lad mags and porn culture, you’re keeping the industry alive and still probably misogynistic.

If dudes are expected to have a lot of sex

But ladies are expected to stay virgins until marriage

But homosexuality is bad

I’m really confused who dudes are supposed to be having all that sex with

[suntbone]

Guys I got it

Society is literally telling dudes to go fuck themselves

Satan completed the manuscript monk added the devil’s picture out of gratitude for his aid.
