Racing Turtles

[ID: Gauche painting of a vibrant orange-red tiger creature against dark foliage, gazing behind itself to meet the viewer. Its stripes are tinted green, with an extra set of legs; it curves around a small, bright red star. End ID.]

when i was a kid i often wondered what in a cell does the "thinking". like the nucleus has all this information, but it's just recipes for proteins. what decides which proteins to mint? if you're in a similar boat, please do yourself a big favor and look up transcription networks. that shit is awesome

love love love grace's tendency towards denial and elopement specifically because !! running away from something always results in running toward something else. not wanting to be reminded of his previous academic failure makes him agree to study the astrophage. desperately trying to get away from blip-a makes him jump in the pilot seat that he was adamantly denying moments before. physically trying to run away from his first spacewalk bungee-corded him out the door. trying to deny the fate of slowly rotting to death alone gives him the courage to remove his helmet in the tunnel. mary escaping adrian's atmosphere catapults them to a cure. wildly running from stratt gets him blindsided and tackled to the ground. trying to reconcile the weight of rocky's death on his conscience leads him to a life full of joy on erid. do you understand what I'm saying.

There was a massive shift in how our culture understood morality when, after World War II, the general public realized “just following orders” was not an excuse for crimes against humanity. Now we need another moral shift in which we decide, as a culture, that “for the benefit of the stockholders” is not an excuse for anything.

We kind of need to relearn the “just following orders” part again

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

He is absolutely copying you, and cuddling, and doing the slow close of eyes that is a cat kiss! #this is one very happy cat #i hope the two of you have many years of harmony and happiness

Perfect harmony
