i no longer respect the hustle i want universal basic income and dignity for everyone

like i just think we need to understand that when you make some sweeping & prejudiced statement against people with restrictive eating disorders you are not making that statement against skinny people [oppressor class] you are making it against disabled people [oppressed class] and those are very different things

unhappy side effect of "morally ambiguous" being treated as the pinnacle of writing is that you will often be made to experience what a not so talented writer with big aspirations thinks is morally ambiguous

*widely praised poetic quote in a foreword by a usamerican translator voice* see this language.... it's not like other languages. sometimes it has metaphors. or abstract thinking. sometimes a word has several meanings. sometimes a lot of meaning can be condensed into two words. sometimes those words even have etymologies. sometimes if you translate idioms or break down the components of words you can get something pretty cool in english. and naturally this gives us essential insight into the timeless national character of its people

Graced by Geckolepis typica from Madagascar. I love that they’re quite round creatures and then they have these dainty little toes. Also, their scales are full bone and both scale and skin come off when they get grabbed, which is…unpleasant. Consequently, catching these geckos for research without damaging them requires special techniques. 19th century researchers used bundles of cotton wool, but I imagine this wasn’t very effective, because cotton still has a lot of friction and the friction would pull the skin and scales off. In my (quite extensive) experience, the best technique is to carefully and quickly flick the geckos from their tree trunk or branch into an open dry plastic bag using a finger or stick.

the thing about all the handwringing over the deaths of the Romanov children in particular is like. oh, so you think it's bad when kids die due to factors entirely outside of their control, like the social status they were born into? i wholeheartedly agree with you, we should end any system of government that sacrifices the lives of children born into peasant classes, which necessitates killing the entire royal family including the kids. oh? oh, okay, you were arguing for the literal exact opposite thing to happen. i see. and just to double check, you said kids dying due to the circumstances of their birth was a bad thing?
