I once read about an aquarium that trained the dolphins to pick up any debris in the tank and give it to the trainer in exchange for fish. One dolphin started started hiding paper under a rock and then breaking off small pieces to give the trainer. She also realized that she could get fish for catching a seagull. She soon started to stockpile fish to use as seagull bait, thus creating an exponentially larger seagull problem. Then she taught the other dolphins, which made it worse. So if you ever think dolphins are cute, remember that these little assholes create capitalism of their own volition and are not to be trusted.
so basically when you have your period and your lower back hurts it is because your hips are contracting and spreading apart, only slightly, to make room for the release of the blood and linings of your uterus. so basically your body is going through a small and mild labor to push out the dead insides of your uterus. so basically I have gone through labor and basically I don’t want children.
why aren’t we taught this shit
…..this wasn’t obvious to anyone? What did you think your body was doing? Did you think the lining of your uterus just fell out of your vagina? And the cramps were what, for fun?
Considering how practically non-existent sexual education is and the fact some people with uteruses have so little knowledge available and actively shared about their body they don’t know where they pee from or that having large labias is normal, it’s probably safe to say, no, it wasn’t obvious. Nobody thinks you’re hot shit for pissing on people for not knowing something we’re rarely taught in-depth.
I hate it when people get all ‘wow wasn’t this obvious to you guys, you’re pretty dumb’ about shit like this. Shut the fuck up you’re not helping.
When I went to the island, the ranger told us that they do like to hang around in the bathrooms because it’s cooler in there then outside during the day (Komodo island is at the hottest part of Indonesia)
Imagine running to the bathroom desperately holding your shit and having to face a dragon first before the sweet release of the toilet.
At the reptile rescue where I used to work one of the bathrooms was sometimes used as an infirmary/overflow animal housing. For awhile there was a very friendly and very big savanna monitor living in the bathroom (set up with proper heat, hides, etc).
He was so friendly that he would mosey over and try to climb into your lap while you were going to the bathroom. So you had to do your very best to finish peeing before he could get over to you. Made for some very exciting bathroom trips.
Can’t imagine running into a Komodo dragon in the bathroom.
One time my friends and I realized that you only have to be 18 to rent a U-Haul (compared to 25 to rent a regular car), so we fuckin’ rented a U-Haul pickup truck for $20 and took it up to Seattle just to hit the town for the day.
“oops i accidentally harassed dozens of women over the course of many years but only because being famous on the internet is very hard and more difficult than you could possibly imagine” boooooooooooooo
My cat is on daily glucosamine supplements and will probably hit a point later in her life where she’ll barely be able to walk and have to take daily pain meds because of the joint damage done by her previous owner letting her hit 1.5x her ideal body weight.
At last! My tiny fluffy teddy bear moths have arrived!
My first southern flannel moth adult emerged from his cocoon this morning. You may remember my previous posts of them: as caterpillars, they are the most adorable fluffy shy hairballs who are also so venomous their stings are considered the most painful kind you can get in North America.
They were so cute and I wanted to hold them SO BAD but the closest I could get was stroking the side of the tank while I wept over how life was so cruel to deny me the joy of holding these sweet babies.
Well, my first sweet baby is here. A boy: his antennae are feathered to detect the scent females let out to attract mates. I knew they were small, but I was still surprised to see this tiny baby. Every surface is covered in fluffy fur.
His little black boots. His fluffy bum. His orange mustache 😭
I’m not going to lie. I kissed him. He is perfect.
