I Give Up. You Win.

But there's some other group, and when they talk about economics they'll have a great, engaging tone with easy to follow graphs based on easy to locate data, with catchy titles and everything they write is like "not only is the economy getting better all the time, but it's the best it's ever been, and everyone is doing tremendously well, our system has never failed and never will, and looking at these figures we actually need to give even more resources to those six guys."

oh you KNOW this is a star trek au where you know how people sign up to man a lighthouse after a breakup? buck goes on a 5 year mission to see and study the stars!! and sure he COULD have a relationship with a fellow starfleet officer but he doesn't date his coworkers so he's golden!!

Krem didn't deserve to live. He was a pedophile, a murderer, and a sex trafficker

Kara Zor-El knew that he shouldn't be allowed to live bc he'd just keep doing what he was doing

But does her murdering him in place of Ruthye invalidate her teaching Ruthye "murder is wrong"?

Well, no bc i dont rlly think the message was "murder is wrong"

It was "dont let your grief and rage consume you"

If Ruthye had murdered Krem in her grief and anger it would've consumed her. Kara didnt want her to live with that. She sacrificed a part of herself to kill Krem, so Ruthye wouldn't have to be the one who did it

Yes, Krem was a piece of shit who deserved to die

This is the set up they use to get a stallion to mount so they can collect semen. Pigs use a similar one, just smaller.

For cows, a local operation gets the bulls to mount steers, so someone can manually collect it. Having cows around causes too much aggression.

Apparently they can collect samples from gorillas by bribing them with skittles, but wolves need to be sedated so they can use electrical stimulation (source: a professor who worked as a curator at a major zoo).

wow okay for once??? I'm thinking kidfic which might be insane but!! hear me out: monster kidfic. turns out theo inherited some monster genes from kameron's side of the family and the only person that buck knows that has monster genes and maybe could help is tommy. idk I just think it would be juicy if tommy and theo bonded and buck (who we all know has no jealousy issues) was just like "why do they even need ME around."

I'm picturing a fraught conversation rife with misunderstandings that's Buck saying "you know I'm just fostering theo" which tommy reads as 'I'M fostering theo, not you. also this is just temporary anyway, you thought you could one day have a family? nice dream, loser.' and buck means 'maybe it would be better if YOU were fostering theo' and they just talk in circles around eachother until one of them says like "I wanted to build a family with you, jokes on me I guess" and the other is like, "no, EYE wanted to build a family."
