Right so today in class my math teacher, a human who is taller than our door and probably more awkward than it, casually mentioned how he isn’t married and how he never really felt attraction to any gender.
So a pan girl in my class puts up her hand and asks if he was Asexual.
One confused state and three queer people explanations later…
HE WAS BEYOND EXCITED TO FIND OUT THAT HE WAS VALID AND SEEN AS AN ACTAUL HUMAN TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY.
I shit you not.
My way too tall and way too smart and way too dorky and way too awkward maths teacher lived his entire life thinking that he was strange and abnormal for not feeling any attraction to anyone.
And a class of insane grade elevens changed that.
Artist’s Temporary Decaying Art Brings Enchantment To The Forest
British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy is known for his phenomenal and temporary, installations which involve using natural elements, ranging from sticks, stones, leaves and twigs and anything that grows out of the earth. Sharing a special connection with the land ,which he celebrates in all his sculptures, Goldsworthy shows the world that nature cannot be contained, but only its beauty can be held on a canvas for precious few moments before the land recalls what it once grew.
“Project Amphitrite”—otherwise known as “Mermaids
for the Military”—started attracting public attention when I was in my
senior year of high school and beginning to really consider the Navy as a
career option. I wanted to see the world. This new form of service
promised me a world no one else had ever seen. They swore we could go
back. They swore we would still be human, that every possible form of
support would be offered to keep us connected to our roots. They said
we’d all be fairy tales, a thousand Little Mermaids rising from the sea
and walking on new legs into the future that our sacrifice had helped
them to ensure.
They didn’t mention the pain. Maybe they thought we’d all see the
writing on the wall, the endless gene treatments, the surgeries to cut
away inconvenient bits of bone—both original issue and grown during the
process of preparing our bodies for the depths—the trauma of learning to
breath in when submerged, suppressing the millennia of instinct that
shrieked no, no, you will drown, you will die, no.
I have posted about this story before, but not with a gripping illustration!
Read this story. If you’re seeing this, I know you’ll love it. (Like, military submarine mermaids. I’m telling you.)
one of my favorite subgenres of animal behavior are the ones where the animal thinks of the humans living with them as a bigger, dumber, more incompetent form of the animal and the animal is always like “hey here’s some food please eat it” or when they bring in a present for you
good god y’all it’s the pecking order, he just doesn’t want you to beat him up for eating first and/or he sees you as a hen and is trying to trick you into eating so he can mount you
no offence but……. you’re wrong. roosters do this behavior on instinct to win the favor of his hens and keep them healthy and well fed. the deep “cluck cluck cluck” is a pretty much universal chicken noise for “come eat this thing” and is exhibited by roosters feeding hens and hens feeding their chicks
roosters can show affection just like any other other domesticated animal
I can’t stop thinking about crocodiles for some reason so here’s some cool pictures I found of probably the second largest one in captivity, his name is Utan:
isn’t he beautiful
listen to the SOUND when he bites
and that’s not even a real power bite, that’s mostly just heavy bone falling on heavy bone from his jaws and the air rushing out from between them
2000 pounds of Good Boy
you get me
I honestly expected like 5 notes, what HAPPENED here
