You can call me parcel tape..

Can’t reblog this enough.

Not the way I figured it would turn out, but I learned something here.

This is called Trophic Cascade in ecology.

This was controversial when they released the wolves, as I recall. There were complaints about the wolves being dangerous to tourists, that they would actually damage the park and kill so much wildlife no one would want to go anymore. 

I think we need more radical acceptance that some people dislike us for reasons that make sense for their life experience. and we need to do this in a way that doesn't paint us as misunderstood victims because the fact of the matter is everyone is annoying to someone. you can't avoid that. and if someone is annoyed by you they aren't wrong about you being annoying and unlikable to them. the sooner we accept this the sooner we accept ourselves. we don't even like ourselves most of the time so why should we expect other people to uncritically enjoy every aspect of us regardless of our own internal struggle with our own extreme contrasts

saying “hm. must be the curse” every time something bad happens and refusing to elaborate is my new hobby

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

listen if somebody knows that they will be dead in a years time, and you are forcing them to continue to come into work, that’s fucked up. terminally ill people should be able to quit their jobs and live their last few months to the fullest. i don’t get how that’s a controversial opinion

We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn't an algorithm here you just make bad choices.

going to a hypnotist and fully consciously doing everything he says so that he doesn't feel bad

You know that study that’s like “for years we thought bats must have great sonar because they never run into each other, then we got highspeed cameras and realized they actually crash into each other all the time” whenever I walk into a doorframe or a wall there’s a alien nature documentary guy in my head saying “we thought humans must have incredible balance due to their ability to be precise on 2 legs, but turns out they run into shit all the time”

#alien funny humans cam of a dude stubbing his toe rated ‘NOT CUTE’#‘although this human may look excited he is actually hopping up and down to keep weight off his injured foot.’#(alien zoologist chimes in to say toe injuries are the equivalent of getting a tentacle caught in a door and the human is fine)#(‘its a little alarming when they grab an injured body part and yell like that but actually it’s just a self-soothing behavior!’)#(‘this big guy will be fine in two klexkons. he just needs to be dramatic about it first! uwu’)#(*intense alien internet discourse ensues*) via hello-lo-lo-looo

Do you ever fear that you’ll run out of ideas one day?

You’re asking me whether I’m concerned that the English language will one day run out of things to be pedantic about.

*about which to be pedantic

The “rule” that an English sentence may not end in a preposition was invented by uptight grammarians in the 17th Century out of a misguided belief that English syntax ought to more closely resemble that of Latin. In reality, preposition stranding is a common feature of the Germanic language family, and its putative prohibition in standard English is both anomalous and ahistorical.

my mouse is. dying

OH. ILL GO FUCK MYSELF THEN I GUESS.

i actually… love people who double or triple or infinity text … what are you excited about because i’m excited too! message me seven times please i’m glad you have a lot to say and i am willing to listen!!

i love the expression "screaming like a banshee". youre screaming so loud youre just like this thing i made up that screams really loud

Never knew what love really felt like until i moved in with my best friends and realized that i didn't like staying in my room all day, and id much rather take naps on the couch where one or both of them are in the same room, doing their own thing peacefully. They make fun of me for all my dad naps, but it's so peaceful and comforting to fall asleep around the people you love and know that they'll look out for you and/or wake you up if something happens. I spent all day Saturday asleep, literally woke up late, got breakfast, sat down on the couch, and konked out for an hour. Woke up, vacuumed, went back to sleep. Woke up to make some chips, went back to sleep. When they leave town without me i can't take my couch naps cause it's not as comfy without them there. Humans are made for communities. Humans are made for best friends. Humans are made for napping with someone nearby who loves you.

the human body is capable of amazing things when it notices that it just picked up something that half a ton worth of pissed off camel would very much like to have back
