IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

They are also menaced by the godless baby-sacrificing cannibal natives, in direct contrast to other, more civilized natives who have been/are being converted to Christianity by missionaries

$30 to a local Black and Brown led grassroots community organization!! They do a lot of incredible work, I encourage checking them out!

Also while I was looking, I found this website that gives you lots of Black owned businesses local to DFW!

And a few of my families darling babies!!

Donated to this campaign, for supporting LGBTIQ+ refugees in East Africa. Currently at 95% of their current goal!

Two of my creatures.

anyone affected by such laws could tell you as much, but it really is something to read the actual law, the legislative history, public comment, etc and see just how much it was on purpose. it really makes me lose my patience with people pretending otherwise.

"oh this silly law says your house has to be blue in this neighborhood and sometimes Black people were accidentally kept from the neighborhood because blue paint was sometimes hard to come by"

and anyone with two braincells thinks, "yeah it probably was at least somewhat on purpose"

but then you find out the town made a law that it was illegal to sell blue paint to people of color and illegally buying blue paint was punishable by life in prison and the city ordinance about blue houses is called like the Keep Our Neighborhoods White--I Mean Blue Act of 1999. and the town had a weekly newspaper issue talking about how crime had gone up in the paint district so we need more police but also all the people of color are strangely homeless and homelessness means more crime so we need more police, but the police are overwhelmed so you can sign up to be a deputy looking for paint thieves called the Slave-Catching Renaissance Ordinance

and the only proposed "solution" so far is that selling blue paint is no longer illegal.

Thanks for reading,

This is the 10th Anniversary Edition of "It's Not A Race." Originally released in August, this version is months late because the prospect of adding pages to what is easily my most read works was particularly daunting.

It can almost certainly tell different species apart based on the shape of those air bladders. And it can tell if a fish has something weird inside it, like a metal hook. In Hawaii, false killer whales often pluck tuna off fishing lines, and “they’ll know where the hook is inside that fish,” Aude Pacini, who studies these animals, tells me. “They can ‘see’ things that you and I would never consider unless we had an X-ray machine or an MRI scanner.”

This penetrating perception is so unusual that scientists have barely begun to consider its implications. The beaked whales, for example, are odontocetes that look dolphin-esque on the outside—but on the inside, their skulls bear a strange assortment of crests, ridges, and bumps, many of which are only found in males.

Pavel Gol’din has suggested that these structures might be the equivalent of deer antlers—showy ornaments that are used to attract mates. Such ornaments would normally protrude from the body in a visible and conspicuous way, but that’s unnecessary for animals that are living medical scanners.’

I'm not sure if I ever shared this story before here, but in Curacao, when I was allowed to assist in a guest interaction programme, there was suddenly consternation in the pool behind us. A guest had entered the water and the dolphins were going crazy, paying no heed to the trainers anymore. The lead trainer that was with me gave the dolphins to me to watch over while she went to help. When she came back she told me what had happened. The guest that had caused so much uproar had left the water again and was asked if he had done anything to upset the dolphins. He hadn't, and he couldn't imagine what was wrong... until he mentioned he had a pacemaker. The younger dolphins in the pool had never seen someone with a pacemaker before and apparently it rocked their world.

The aftermath:

Omg they're alive

Survivor Group Hashtag 2! The animal theme was unintentional actually but it fits and I find it fun.
