One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I get that there’s something genuinely rewarding about getting super into food and wine and noticing the subtle interplay of tastes and textures but there’s also something genuinely rewarding about getting fucked up at Olive Garden so there’s lots of beauty in the world if you are willing to look

Crested Owls are usually pretty elusive during the day, but this one was hunting in the light. The neighbor birds weren't very happy about it.

Another Lascaux horse. From last Autumn.
Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux. The horse is yellow, with an orange neck/face. It starts on the left/hindquarters as a cave painting and then becomes more three dimensional to the right/front. The background of the relief is textured to look rock-like. There are various painted lines around the horse including two that look like feathers, and 4 parallel lines above. Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux.

Had a guy hit me with “I’ve got sooo many cool insect + plant pics from my walks, want to hang out, help me ID them? 👉👈” and:

1. Was very bowerbird-coded

2. We dated

So maybe he was onto something, straight guys have gotta get with the program, roll some dung or collect blue bottle caps

Dudes love a podcast that claims it's telling you about how to attract women based on like, EVOLUTION.

But not a single one of them are giving the real mating advice that I have seen in the scientific literature!

Not a single dude has ever rolled me up a ball of dung at a bar and it shows.

Animorphs (1/3)
Page 1, 3 panels. Panel 1: group of friends in a public party setting. A guy asks one of the girls, “you’ve really never heard of Animorphs?” The girl laughs, “never!” Panel 2: later, the girl is now alone and unlocking the door to her apartment. Panel 3: as she enters the apartment, she morphs into a wildebeest. She thinks to herself, “no one can know.”
