not to be mean or anything but that american missionary who got killed by the sentinelese was dumb as fuck.
like…its well documented that they’re a tribe that is aggressive to outsiders, it’s illegal to approach the island itself, and they will kill anyone who trespasses. not only that, because they’re an uncontacted people they have no resistance to modern diseases. he risked wiping out a large portion of an already small population because he wanted to proselytize.
and also they almost certainly have their own independent language that only they can speak. dude was just going to walk up and go what’s gonna sound like “oogity boogity” to them and hope they accept jesus cause of it? dumbass.
One of TWELVE Red Spotted Newts (Notophthalmus viridescens), I saw this day! It had just rained, and they seemed to be really enjoying it! This little guy in particular stole my heart. He was a feisty little feller! And adventurous too! There was this big mossy boulder, which was quite a mountain to him… I watched him climb it… then tumble down…. then climb it again… then tumble down again… and finally, he made it to the top and chilled there for awhile. Determination can go a long way… even if you’re a tiny little creature! ❤
fat boys fat boys… what you gonna do what you gonna do when they crawl on you…..
Today, I am writing a scientific paper (albeit a short one) about the project some classmates and I are doing in lab for my scientific methods class. It’s about whether or not black tea decreases kidney stone formation, ft. fake kidney stones. We’re not sure yet, but we think it might, at least in our lab studies.
Decided to try and write my parts of the paper outside. Started doing so next to the local turtle pond. Rain started. Am now under a giant concrete awning-thing. It’s cold. This is a decent place to write, though. My other choice was to go into one of the science buildings where there’s a fish tank (I assume there are many fish tanks, it’s just that I only know about two, and this is the closer one), but all the doors in there are locked because it’s 7pm and the start of Thanksgiving break.
Anyway it’s cold outside and I’m sitting in a wheelchair, with a laptop, watching people not notice me and writing about fake kidney stones.
