Folks who didn’t have tumblr before 2010-2011ish didn’t have to deal with all those fucking gifs of that guy who worked as Peter Pan at Disneyland and subsequently hear about the drama that ensued when Tumblr Kids kept fuckig stalking him at work
why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Rise and collapse of a wave. Details of paintings by Michael Zeno Diemer (1867-1939)
[ID: Close-ups of powerful, churning waves under different kinds of sunlight. End ID.]
I cannot express how much I adore dappled shadows formed by sunlight in paintings and photography and in real life
I also adore how this pattern has manifested itself in the form of camouflage for some species
The echo of those same dappled shadows that we paint in our art is genetically coded into a baby’s fur in order to keep her safe. A beautiful thing.

Favorite bit of adventurers bible lore is that Marcille was a researcher developing new healing magic before she joined the party but then learned all the offensive spells we see her use in a single day. Insane behavior. Imagine knowing the top med student in the country and one day she drops out of her cancer research program and perfects the art of making pipe bombs in 24 hours.

some trump supporter interrupted a reporter to yell "at least we're not burning businesses down" and like
ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.
black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.
bruce: how’d you get your scar?
zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.
bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.
Zuko: Do you mind if I wear this blue demon mask?
Bruce: *sniff, tear in his eye* Not at all.
*Zuko fighting the Joker*
J: "wan na kno w h ow i go t thes e sc ar s"
Z: *rips off mask* i don't give a fuck
I’m still stuck at the “batman has adoption papers in his utility belt”.
“Quick, it’s time to use the Bat-adoption papers!”
Bat-option papers
Okay, but you’re missing the best part of this.
Alfred and Iroh complimenting each other on tea while they discuss their overly dramatic children.
iroh: once, i told zuko that he needs to work on his inter turmoil. he screamed at me that he had no such inner turmoil, and then proceeded to go to a cliff during a thunderstorm to scream at God to strike him with lightning
alfred: master bruce and i have that interaction at least three times per week.
@absentlyabbie
I see your "Alfred and Iroh as tea bros" and raise you "Alfred and Iroh as tea rivals"
Consider
Iroh: you too must learn patience. Boiling the water ruins the delicate flavor of the white jade
Alfred: oh I'm dreadfully sorry - for some reason I expected this tea to have TEA in it
(later)
Alfred: *aggressively laying out full tea service with milk, lemon, sugar, and, just to drive his point in, jam*
Iroh: *dying inside*
excellent addition
hey bruce spent a lot of his bat-study abroad in the far east and has kind of a weeb weapon collection so proposal, what if Bruce appreciates Iroh’s tea
while Zuko is enthusiastic about cream and sugar
further fueling their dad-figures’ passive-aggressive rivalry?
You had me at Zuko vs. Joker, I was crying by the Eastern vs. Western tea service
Wait a minute. Batman and Zuko have the same arch-nemesis.

Saw the last comment and my brain would not rest until it happened
this post has everything
This is a map of the range of all giraffe species. By my count that puts them in just 16 countries out of the 54 in Africa (of which 5 are island countries with no territory on the continental mainland). That's 30%, quite a long way shy of all, and as you can see many of those countries that do have giraffes only have a tiny portion of their territory within giraffes' habitats
Wow, I knew they weren't in "every African country", but I didn't realize just how restricted their range was
People forget how environmentally diverse Africa is. If you compare the map above with a koppen climate map, you’ll notice that Giraffes tend to live in semi-arid steppe regions and that they’re pretty much separated by huge portions of tropical regions that are much more densely packed with trees and the like:
The giraffe is a pretty big animal and it’s not going to be able to really manoeuvre itself in a rainforest; it’s a plains animal and you can pretty much see that in the difference between the Giraffe and it’s closest relative the Okapi, which is much smaller and much more suited for life in a tropical environment.
TL;DR - Africa is a big place with a range of environments that are not suitable for every animal that you might associate with the continent. Lions and Zebra are not gonna be found alongside Gorillas and Okapi which aren’t gonna be found with Camels and Fennec Foxes.
I was putting this in the tags, but y’know what, I’m putting it here.
Teachers? If you don’t know something, just say so!
It keeps you from giving false information
Kids should know that adults don’t know everything just because they’re adults, or teachers, or parents
You don’t even have to stop your lesson! “I don’t know exactly, I’ll write it down and we’ll look it up later” or have them look it up, make it part of their homework!
If the material you’re teaching from is wrong or outdated, and you discover this, let them know! Correct yourself, normalize the idea that adults don’t know everything!
I’m not going to pretend that this doesn’t add more to an already difficult job. Being a good teacher (hell, being a bad teacher) takes far more energy than I am capable of giving, and having to suddenly switch to e-learning, or in person socially distanced teaching has to be a nightmare. But try not to intentionally lie to your students to make things easier.
I am a teacher, and I stand behind this message!
We don't know everything, and it is good to remember that the WHOLE point of school is to learn that there is a lot to learn, and here are some good ways you can learn!
Also, don't lie to kids, they know you're lying. And learning that lying is okay if you can get away with it (even if just temporarily) is a BAD lesson to teach.
I would like to add some information about the Giraffe's restricted habitat in Africa. Of course natural environmental factors are a key important reason for why you do or don't find a particular animal in that habitat. This is important to know, understand and be taught. This knowledge helps people understand the importance of protecting all different kinds of habitat that supports a rich diversity of life in nature.
Also on that note, I think it should be added and the information be spread that Giraffe's are further restricted by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, habitat degradation, human population growth, poaching, disease, war and civil unrest threaten the remaining giraffe numbers and their distribution throughout Africa. ** Source Giraffe Conservation Foundation ** https://giraffeconservation.org/facts/what-are-the-main-threats-to-giraffe-why-are-their-numbers-declining/ To visualize this impact please see this map (also featured from the Giraffe Conservation Foundation) https://giraffeconservation.org/2019/08/08/updated-giraffe-distribution-map/
This map shows their historic range and how it was directly impacted by human expansion. Giraffe's are not the only animals suffering from this in Africa, Lion's too are in decline. One of the biggest hindrances to both of these iconic animals in recovering their population is the fact that no one talks about it. Just like this post starts out, there is a common belief that Giraffe's and Lion's and other African species are just... thriving all over Africa. That is not the case. We are loosing them. Please spread this knowledge, tell people about their declining populations. Education and information is the first step to saving these magnificent creatures.

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad
In case you're curious here's what I mean.
Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):
Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):
Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):
Do you see the difference?
