Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing

Apolitically killing bandits and savages in my video game with no messages

asked the skyrim bandits why they were living in a cave and they explained the war effort has buried the economy so they can't find work and lost their homes. I use my shout to blast them across the cave and find a preeeetty nice sword among their belongings

It's so obvious that so many of you see racism as just a minor oopsie that causes no material harm. Why are racialized people not allowed to talk about our oppression? Why are we always the ones who have to forgive and rebuild bridges? Why do we have to forget and ignore that so many people don't see us as human beings? Why are we not allowed to be hurt when somebody decided that our centuries of suffering is something to laugh at and make light of? Why are we erased when we express our hurt in order to dismiss it? Why are we obligated to forgive and forget while this system continues to hold a boot on our necks?

It’s so fucking irritating how testosterone will irrevocably destroy your body. Your voice is damaged forever. You grow hair that takes thousands to correct. That’s not even counting the bone changes that you either can’t correct or need surgery to correct. Your life is just harder because of testosterone forever. You’re not even allowed to complain about it.

Sex should have a secondary gameplay loop where you build bases, manage resources, and expand your territory

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ

once you realize how much everyone fucking loves age- and incest-play you'll go even more insane when they tell you to join their campaign to run transgender woman #487324 off the internet (where she gets her income) for her incest kink or whatever

it really is Our Righteous "pouting and throwing a cute tantrum at my partner to get what i want", "daddy/mommy", "old man yaoi", and a long etc v. their villainous "calling her partner 'little sis'" to encourage sexual abuse of children or smth

straight people especially LOVE ageplay have you ever seen them interact. it is like their main thing.

and not like it is important but since i sometimes see that thrown around: they love doing it in public too, and i don't mean in an obscure tumblr blog (theyre straight) but at. the store in front of 20 people. again, it is one of their main things.

i'm not saying anything that hasn't been said before but i'm just thinking about how common and rendered-invisible by normalization it is to see a straight couple where the woman playfully acts like a little girl sometimes for whatever reason and it's. fine. and i of course don't mean they should leave it in the bedroom or whatever i'm not christian, i'm saying it's so overt but of course it's fine when non-transmisogynized people do it. they have never harmed children in any way obviously.

people trying to be cute in the notes of this post (not just in this rb, either) is actually extremely annoying. oh you're a poor wittle baby who couldn't possibly know that "teen" and "(M/D)ILF" porn are some of the most popular things straight people wank to? is it your first time using the internet and/or going outside? like come on, i know i'm being harsh here, but this way of distancing yourself from it (and using a memeified image to show how you find it strange and icky) is just another way of signaling "i'm one of the good ones who would NEVER like such perverted things" which is literally just one step removed from the harassment i'm talking about. for the love of god, grow up.

on multiple occasions i have seen people on socials excited for palworld 1.0 and it has taken me a moment to realize they aren't doing a bit and are genuinely excited

Gamer here! This phenomenon can be explained from Palworld being what is considered a "good game" (任天堂以外のゲームをプレイしてください), which can be a concept that is difficult for fans of "Pocket Monsters" from the last decade or so to conceptualize. For futher reading, I suggest "On the Genealogy of Morals" by Friedrich Nietzsche and "Open Veins of Latin America" by Eduardo Galeano, hope this clarifies things!

Absolutely embarrassing to hold the plagiarism game up as a good game

oh and when i was a year old, after i got my foot amputated my parents were pushing me around in a stroller at a street festival in miami and i was chewing on my foot or whatever and this street performer came up to us and was like “aw i bet that tastes good!!” and my dad was like “yeah look at what she did to the other one!!!!” and pulled back the blanket covering my left leg to show a stump with a huge scar on it and i’m pretty sure my dad terrified that poor man
