Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

I know you’re being facetious, but this is an actual issue with morphology-based phylogeny.

*leans over and whispers to person beside me* what are they talking about

*leans over and whispers back*  Human ability to quantify and categorize natural phenomena is sketchy at best and wildly misleading at worst

consider the coconut

this reminds me of that time Plato defined humans as “featherless bipeds” and Diogenes ran in with a plucked chicken screaming “BEHOLD A MAN!”

i love how you say “it reminds me of that time” like you were there.

listen if an immortal feels brave and supported enough to come out we should respect them

This post is a journey

I maintain that humans started attempting classify animals, and some god or another made the platypus, and is still laughing.

Zeus: *hits joint* okay so like. It’s gonna have a duck bill right. But an otter body okay? And then a beaver tail. It’s a mammal. But. It lays eggs!

Hades: wait wait dude. Give it. Give it poison. Make it poisonous

Athena: You mean venomous, and make sure the eggs have both reptile and bird traits.

Hermes: *takes the joint* Give it extra senses.

Poseidon: It should be aquatic.

I MEAN where’s the lie

Demeter: … And where exactly do you expect me to put this?

Everyone: Australia.

Reblogging for that last exchange.

White privilege is very real. If that offends you, then you are apart of the problem. White people, we need to do better. Take a minute to consider a Black person’s experience today.

Finding words to say in such a sad time in this world is so difficult. It doesn’t matter what you say because someone, somewhere is either going to agree or disagree with it. Maybe that’s something we all need to understand. What is right in your mind might be wrong to someone else. Arguing about someone’s personal opinion is only dragging the division in our world out more. My heart is in absolute agony over the death of George Floyd.

My heart hurts for the men and women who face this type of fear every single day because of the color of their skin. This stops with ME. We all have skin and we are all created equally. Please know I stand with you even though I will never understand the fear or anything you have ever gone through. Your feelings on this topic are valid and they are heard. Your life matters just as much as anyone else in this world. #GeorgeFloyd #ItEndsWithMe

Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide

Slate Magazine

The ongoing protests following the killing of George Floyd were caught up in violence again on Saturday, as police all over the country teargassed protestors, drove vehicles through crowds, opened fire with non-lethal rounds on journalists or people on their own property, and in at least one instance, pushed over an elderly man who was walking away with a cane. Here are some of the ways law enforcement officers escalated the national unrest.

shock:

in college there are only two moods:

1. i can do this! after outlining everything i need to do, it doesn’t seem so bad. in fact it’s very methodical and easy to follow and i can do it.

2. oh my god its happening. its the end for me. i might as well be dead. everything is due now. i was put on this earth to suffer. i have two essays due in 45 seconds and all ive eaten today is half a goldfish cracker. i can only feel pain

also these moods go back and forth every hour
