To Make a Title is Too Much Work

monoculture forests are deeply unsettling in a way that is hard to explain to people who do not spend a lot of time looking at forests

[alivehouse]

this thing is alive in an undead hivemind kind of way and it wants to fucking kill me

[radiobob214]

What the hell is that thing? Where's the plants??? Where's the undergrowth? I don't have my glasses on, but it doesn't look like there's any lichens on there either. The trees are naked. I feel like a pervert, looking at naked trees.

It must be exhausting being a vampire and eating someone who gets off to it. I’d take psychic damage too if my lasagna was into vore.

Robert Sapolsky about his study of the Keekorok baboon troop from National Geographic’s Stress: Portrait of a Killer.

[explorerrowan]

I deeply appreciate that this man looks exactly what I expect a man who has spent the last 30 years of his life observing troops of baboons to look like.

Also, the point of his commentary is not “we should kill off the violent ‘alpha’ assholes in human society.” That conclusion is reductive, eugenicist, and isn’t paying attention to his words.

The point is “a thing we thought was universally true of baboon society, that baboon troops were constant, violent competitions for dominance, is not as universally true as we thought, and maybe things we think are immutable about our own society aren’t as immutable as we think, either.”

This has 200k notes but none of you know the truth of the I Hate Rubber Boots Guy. This man lives in my city. He wears this outfit constantly. The Weird Toronto photo group has a ban on posting him because he’s always like this.  He has done this for years. Every so often he buys a taller pair of rubber boots.

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???

So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"

But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????
