[leslie057]

and when he turned ten he shot a rabbit and cried ALL WEEK. thats a seven day cry. is that not the worst thing youve ever heard.

#i hate it i hate it so much #to make matters worse hes like the best son you could ask for? #like what #stranger things #jonathan byers #text #imagine this is your kid and hes literally an angel and so lovey dovey and quiet and calm and adorable and- #and he- he talks about going to COLLEGE when hes 6 because he is so miniature but he has aspirations #big aspirations and his eyes are so bright and his hearts huge like his hearts the size of texas and he takes SUCH good care of bby brother #and yet?? #you dont love him and you force him to hunt and kill which is the one thing he can barely bring himself to do #because hes that much of an animal lover and has that soft a heart #like i know we’ve known all this since s1 but im just devastated all over again #this is throttlegainwells fault and i didnt even finish their new fic yet because im working my way through it slowly #but its still their fault!

outgoing and talkative people are so weird sometimes I swear.

I'm very shy and soft-spoken by nature, much more of a listener than a talker.

And I had to sit in the same car as one of my partner's friends for a whole hour while we're driving somewhere. And this dude just talks the whole time. Like he finished a story that my partner and I would just be like "oh, yeah" to, have MAYBE 30 seconds of silence, and then he would start talking about something else. The entire one hour car ride. And like, my partner would converse with him some while he was driving, but for the most part it was just this dude talking and talking and talking.

Then on the one hour drive back. When we're maybe 10 minutes from dropping this guy off at his house he's like "next time we're in a car together it's gonna be my goal to get Annie to say 100 words." And I just laugh uncomfortably like "why?" Then he goes on this rant about how quiet people are his kryptonite because he never knows what they're thinking or how they're feeling and it bothers him and I just....

Dude maybe if you'd just shut up for once maybe you would KNOW what I'm thinking or how I'm feeling. Maybe if you would have asked me a single question I would have spoken more. Like it's literally not that hard to get quiet people to talk goddamn.

#annie speaks #annie goes on a rant more like #it just really bothered me #like gd i like the guy dont get me wrong #but he's got a personality the size of texas #so when hes in a space there's no room for anyone else #he just has to be the one talking and the one getting most of the attention #its bonkers

"In one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a remarkable thing has happened—the scimitar-horned oryx, once declared extinct in the wild, is now classified only as endangered.

It’s the first time the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world’s largest conservation organization, has ever moved a species on its Red List from ‘Extinct in the Wild’ to ‘Endangered.’

The recovery was down to the conservation work of zoos around the world, but also from game breeders in the Texas hill country, who kept the oryx alive while the governments of Abu Dhabi and Chad worked together on a reintroduction program.

Chad... ranks second-lowest on the UN Development Index. Nevertheless, it is within this North African country that can be found the Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve, a piece of protected desert and savannah the size of Scotland—around 30,000 square miles, or 10 times the size of Yellowstone.

At a workshop in Chad’s capital of N’Djamena, in 2012, Environment Abu Dhabi, the government of Chad, the Sahara Conservation Fund, and the Zoological Society of London, all secured the support of local landowners and nomadic herders for the reintroduction of the scimitar-horned oryx to the reserve.

Environment Abu Dhabi started the project, assembling captive animals from zoos and private collections the world over to ensure genetic diversity. In March 2016, the first 21 animals from this “world herd” were released over time into a fenced-off part of the reserve where they could acclimatize. Ranging over 30 miles, one female gave birth—the first oryx born into its once-native habitat in over three decades.

In late January 2017, 14 more animals were flown to the reserve in Chad from Abu Dhabi.

In 2022, the rewilded species was officially assessed by the IUCN’s Red List, and determined them to be just ‘Endangered,’ and not ‘Critically Endangered,’ with a population of between 140 and 160 individuals that was increasing, not decreasing.

It’s a tremendous achievement of international scientific and governmental collaboration and a sign that zoological efforts to breed endangered and even extinct animals in captivity can truly work if suitable habitat remains for them to return to."

Just read an article about Desantis and Disney and all that and it amazes me that these people champion free speech when they want to spew their intolerance but if anyone says anything to the contrary they aren't exercising their free speech, they're pushing the "woke" agenda and it's like please stop this nonsense and say what you mean. Speech is only free for virulent bigots and everyone else has to shut the fuck up and deal with it- at least then we can address why this opinion is ridiculous even if I give no shits about Disney the company and what it can or can't say. Otherwise we're treating bigots like their opinions are based in logic and fact and are functionally the same as opinions that actually are based on logic and facts instead of dismissing violent hate and having a real discussion about LGBT issues instead of the bullshit farce the political right forces us all into because they want to be the only ones with the freedom to do whatever the fuck they want.

#winters ramblings #i love free speech they say until someone says gays arent too nad then its i HATE free speech you woke cunt!! #if you really loved free speech so much you wouldnt be so pissed off you have political opposition 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 #i also hate that these people like to use “”“science”“” to back up their hateful opinions #like republicans only care about science when they want to hate trans people and women. otherwise science is The Liberal Elite #thats why we dont do anything about climate change. because scientists cant be trusted because theyre all commies #but then all of the sudden its science science SCIENCE NATURE when trans people pop up #imagine having a worldview this utterly fractured and nonsensical and thinking you have ANY legs to stand on ever #i wiah i had even a QUARTER of the ego these people do itd be the size of texas and it STILL would approach the ego #of the average republican actively in politics

“A public elementary or secondary school shall display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments,” reads SB 1515.

The bill is extremely specific, mandating the size of the poster (at least 16 x 20), and that it be readable from anywhere in the classroom: “in a size and typeface that is legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom in which the poster or framed copy is displayed.”

The bill also includes the complete text of the Ten Commandments, in the version ordained by its author, state Senator Phil King, a Republican.

Senator King’s bill goes as far as to mandate that if a school classroom does not have the Ten Commandments posted, it “must” accept a copy if anyone donates one, and any extras “must” be offered for donation to any other school. It can also use taxpayer funds to purchase a copy.

every fanart of zombiecleo can be improved by making her eyes look more tired and sunken in. its a detail included in like all their skins and their yt avatar is literally just a pair of tired eyes. why don't artists lean into that more

#full disclosure this post is entirely lighthearted #and my personal opinions are not something anyone's obligated to follow. i just think its a shame ppl dont lean into that more bc #i think the perpetually exhausted look of sunken eyes with eyebags the size of texas is not smthn that should be reserved just for the #mad scientist or messy but smart but sleep deprived man aesthetic. let ur local dead she/theys embrace that too yknow #pärsunaal

Despite being named after the famous Muppet frog, Kermitops gratus here wasn't actually a frog itself. Instead it was a close relative of the common ancestor of all modern amphibians, part of a grouping of amphibian-like animals known as amphibamiform temnospondyls.

Living in what is now Texas, USA, during the mid-Permian, about 275 million years ago, Kermitops would have resembled a chunky salamander. Only its fossil skull is known, so its full body size is uncertain, but based on the proportions of related amphibamiformes it was probably around 15-20cm long (~6-8").

Although its discovery helps to fill in the very sparse fossil record of the early evolution of modern amphibians, it's also complicated matters more than expected. Previously it was thought that the characteristic skull anatomy of modern amphibians evolved in a clear sequence, but Kermitops has a unique mix of features that doesn't fit this idea – suggesting that there was a lot of convergent evolution going on in amphibamiformes at the time.
