today in pumpkintown we have two spot franklin, the vicious man-eating lion, benny "the speed" davison, and snurt

this. also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation. do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

They are so funny. Our neighbors are being stuffed into unmarked vans, and they’re all like let’s vote against a term we probably can’t define instead.

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

There have been no real technological developments since the invention of lenses that allow us to photograph bugs and an international network of machines that allow everyone to see those photographs of bugs. Discuss.

FNAF/Scott Cawthon should not be supported in any way. Don't buy/stream his games, give money to the franchise, watch the movies, etc. He uses his gains FROM FNAF to support harmful legislature and candidates on the right. Which is bad, yes? Stop supporting him. He deserves nothing.

look at baby Pteroptyx firefly shoving entire head into a Plecostoma shell to try and eat the snail inside

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

these are little animals just getting a sip of water and I will not tolerate slander

I know it's a question for which I will never get a satisfactory answer, but I still wonder why non-Natives still say they're "a Native of" a place instead of just saying "I'm from this place" or "I'm originally from this place". No, you are not "a Native".

Thanks to Jordan Rainey in the Staphylinid Madness symposium for sharing some full-color photos of the most upsetting beetle I’ve ever seen in my life

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

this is literally never not accurate

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Ashley Bui of UCR is giving a great talk on eucharitid phylogeny, but most importantly she tells us what the giant scutal spines are for: handles for grabbing by suspicious ants (their hosts)

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

THIS. If a politician is willing to abandon today's Inconvenient Vulnerable Group in the name of political expedience? They'll abandon them all. And fascists will not be appeased by any of it, anyway. They just switch targets. That's how this works.

Quick reminder that Christopher Columbus was considered a vile, repulsive, evil man even in his own time. His actions as governor of Spain's New World colonies landed him in prison for his cruelty and violence.
