This is so relatable, I’m dying.

LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK

deadindeathvalley

For those of you who aren’t going to vote in the 2020 election because Bernie or whoever didn’t win primaries.

Not voting is in of itself just as powerful as voting. Fuck this rhetoric.

systlin

No, it’s not.

All that does is let other people…who may hate you and want you dead…decide your future for you.

No one gives a shit if you didn’t vote as a protest. It accomplished nothing except to further the interests of the people who hate me and folks like me. Not voting isn’t powerful; it’s rejecting a civic duty that people fought and died for and saying ‘well I don’t care.’

Being able to not care in politics is a privilege in and of itself.

This is important!

Yeah, I can’t stress this enough, especially in US politics. Like…the government doesn’t just go “Oh no! Not enough people voted so I guess we gotta do the whole thing over again!”

Lol, no, that’s not how it works! Instead, the people who do vote–the ones with easy access and/or a monetary incentive to vote– get to decide who’s going into office even though they’re not an accurate representation of the people overall.

If you and five of your friends don’t vote, all six of you are worth less than Jeff Bezos getting paid a trillion dollars a second while voting.

For every person that doesn’t vote, the voters who are incentivized by classist, sexist, racist politicians level up.

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

These

are more genetically compatible than These

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate.

And this

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.
