A lot of cishet people started saying “partner” in this context because queer folks advocated for that as a means of cover and protection and it’s finally been becoming mainstream over the last 5 years. It is not appropriation, for the love of god.
What is funny about working class whites supporting slavery is this: let’s say they reinstate the slavery tomorrow. Not only would this man never afford to own a slave, he’d also lose the wage labor him and his family relies on for survival, likely falling into debt-peonage.
Hold on hold on hold on
So you mean to tell me the Democratic Party could have literally censured House Republicans for promoting false narratives (around CoVID, climate change, etc) this whole time and just…didn’t
NEWS
The House has voted 234-188 to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for “promoting false narratives” about the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and for her use of the phrase "from the river to the sea.”
22 Democrats voted to censure the Congresswoman.
4 Republicans…
Since we’re talkin about petty ass elephants: a handful of years back I was workin at a zoo that had a handful of female African elephants. The most dominant one was named Leah (or Lea. Who cares she ain’t readin this)
Unpopular opinion: we actually need laws that hold public facing, elected members of government accountable for language like this, particularly surrounding emergencies, disasters, mass tragedies.
Folks in here tweeting "the way the world is goin we're gonna have to learn skills like this" when the majority of rivers the majority of us have access to (and counting) are straight-up poisonous water sources
Reading aside I want the men in the audience to look closely at how he, despite immense frustration, recognizes how he feels and why, then look at how speaks to himself to help regulate & manage his feelings. This dude is incredibly emotionally literate and that’s worth so much.
I constantly reference the study that came out about the avg American adult reading on the 6th grade level. This gentleman has been showing the vulnerability of learning to read as an adult. He says he should know this but he should’ve been taught please send him encouragement
Look at this fucked up, not the momma ass gator. These deformities are consistent with three decades of improper care. This is what “loved to death” it looks like and is exactly why y’all (yes you, motherfucker) shouldn’t be keeping wild animals.
Do not give Albert back.

Americans worth more than $100 million sat on $8.5 trillion in untaxed profits in 2022, a report found — money that may never be taxed unless Congress closes a loophole shielding the investments of the ultrarich
Wild how every Western leader is like "The world is dangerous for Jewish people and that place way over there will be the only safe place for them" rather than making their own countries a materially safe place for Jewish people to exist.
A logger from northern St. Louis County just sent me this video of a wolf running through his job site and taking down a whitetail deer. As you can see, wolves lost any fear of humans and are increasingly dangerous to livestock & pets and decimating our deer herd. Delist!

So Leah is like “fine.” And doesn’t throw it at the dog
Instead she knocks his ass out with a headshot for 20 ft away. Turns out she’s been holdin onto that rock for just this occasion.
Home girl Leah HATED dogs. Like she beefed hard with em. And no one quite knew why. Was it trauma? Was it racism? Who’s to say
Well any time her ass saw a service dog she’s start touchin the ground with her trunk
A passerby wouldn’t know but the keepers knew what’s up
One afternoon the head keeper of their team is talkin to some people outside their exhibit and notices a service dog down the way.
Dude looked at Leah and sees her doin her unruly thing
He is like “don’t do it, ma’am”
By nah Leah’s on her bullshit
Some amazing footage of a Northern Bottlenose Whale off Greenland! I've never heard of this sort of opportunistic scavenging behaviour documented from any Beaked Whales before, and CERTAINLY never seen footage of it!
Nah cause that crew of elephants were wild. Apparently one of Lea/h roommates, Megan (I think it was), would spend all her time sharpening her tusks so they had to keep sawing them off or else she’d stab Lea/h 😭
Working class white folks would quickly become pseudo-slaves themselves within these systems, but they hate us so they’ll gladly support their masters’ pursuit of free labor and unlimited profits.
Y'all see that lil comment where they say they just need the state to bail them out every year? They don't want small government. They want services and resources. They just want us to pay for it and for the services to be exclusively for them.

If your lookin at this thinking “well it depends on _____” ask yourself: am I subconsciously trying to justify the impulse to act in the defense of a system that has trained me from birth to defend capital rather than my community and it’s members.

If your cats are free roaming and without a collar one should not be surprised if someone assumes they're a stray and tries to give them a home.
Y’all familiar with cordyceps, right? This is like a spider version. This little dude is controlled by the white fungus and staggers around infecting other spiders in the area as the fungus slowly consumes its body. Real nightmare shit.
The amount of violent suggestions in the replies of those cougar video tweets is exactly why wildlife professionals are desperately trying to the video framed correctly:
He had stalked her and her cubs for a vid and she was responding. Not the other way around.
Despite lookin kinda crazy hornbills are remarkably intelligent and inquisitive birds. The reality is a grip of em are endangered due to deforestation. One of the drivers of the deforestation in SEA is expansion of rubber plantations as more cars—particularly EVs—hit the roads.
Something that I’m starting to realize is that the Democratic Party platform boils down to “we’ll treat you better than republicans but you have be okay with us abusing those other people” and I’m just not cool with that shit.

“We need to learn to live with covid” then why the hell are you not stocking/distributing tests and PPE like it, mandating paid sick leave especially for PT food handlers, setting up plans for seasonal field hospitals, and expanding disability benefits and funding ???
Y’all wanna know a little secret? Scientists are intentionally not describing species or reptiles because as soon as new species drops hobbyists start lookin for smugglers to buy the rare new thing from.
“Americans have never experienced the fear of being bombed” is a breathtaking take ignorant of Black history including Black Wall street, MOVE, and the experience of Black churches throughout the 20th (and even 21st) century.
Listen guys. Queen Elizabeth may not see your joke about her marrying her cousin, silently observing apartheid and genocide in in the Briton common wealth, producing pedophile heirs, and leeching resources away from everyone in the UK but her family might. Keep it up.
That zookeepers love all their animals. It’s like yeah we love them n shit but sometimes it’s like “ooo and who’s this lil guy 😍”
