I raise you:

what really bothers me is the way we put wolves on a pedestal but treat coyotes like garbage. despite being closely related enough to frequently interbreed, wolves are regarded as noble, beautiful creatures while coyotes are trashy, dirty animals. coyotes have held on remarkably well despite the pressures we have put on them by destroying their habitats, they’re incredibly intelligent, and they’re equally as beautiful as wolves. i hate to do the whole “you can see the intelligence in their eyes!!” thing but you honestly can. i wish they got the appreciation they deserve

The fact that they’ve done so well surviving in our hellscape is exactly why people detest them so much. Same with dandelions, pigeons, prairie dogs, etc. As a society, we resent things that don’t die when we tell them to die, and we turn our own victims into martyrs. People cry crocodile tears over wolves and put them on a pedestal because they have proven comparatively fragile. As a species, our ego can’t handle anything strong enough to exist alongside us.

J'ak had always heard those kind of warnings from his superiors. Humans were fragile but savage creatures and had to be taken care of with a precision to the thousandth decimal. He never took it seriously though. The creatures were so small, they had no natural armor on their bodies, something as small to the hit to the head could kill them. He never understood why so many of his brothers in arms feared the tiny beasties like they were a time bomb.

the universe: okay, you’re a human. I gave you free will and a conscious mind, so you’re free to do whatever you want. So what do you wanna do?

human: 

it works like this

We gonna be surfing gravity waves!!

I love how mankind’s solution to ftl is just to bend to rules of reality a little.

That’s literally how the ship in Futurama works lol the professor says the ship doesn’t move at all, it moves all of space around it. Can’t believe Futurama was right
