Can’t believe I have to say this but here’s what an elephant shrew yawning looks like 👏in motion👏. Also I promise to do an elephant shrew episode of my Creature Feature podcast soon. oopsies did I just drop a link 2 my own podcast clumsy me teehee
The unintentional irony is that being born is, in fact, not a binary. Labor can take hours, a baby can start crowning and be "born" on two days if birth happens in the middle of the night. People who attack other gender identities by citing biology often know the least about it.
My Jewish ancestors were forced out of their homes during the 19th century pogroms in Odessa. Seeing Palestinians being forced out of their homes in East Jerusalem makes me sick to my stomach. If we can't learn empathy from history, the suffering of our ancestors was in vain.

Maybe this person is just really excited to be able to identify things in a photo. "That's 2 men!! And that's a basketball court!! The men are wearing shoes!!!"
Hi friendly neighborhood killjoy here: "Florida Man" is a thing bc FL has sunshine laws that allows public access to government records (a good thing) & local news outlets use them to punch down and mock vulnerable groups such as those who suffer from addiction (whoops)
Never forget that during the pandemic, people were like, “Essential workers are heroes 🥰” and when the heroes politely asked for enough money to live on, people were like, “Oooo that’s a no, sweetie 🤗❤️”
I may have my disagreements with Warren, but it truly warms my heart to see her rip Bloomberg’s head off on live TV and throw it across the room, blood spewing like party streamers.

The worst is, "Wait, I barely make $15 an hour and I'm a graduate with x degree!" Like all your worth is tied into being "better" than minimum wage "lessers," and you can never even imagine demanding more for yourself.
Leftists: “Everyone should wear masks and get basic income so they don’t die.”
Neoliberals: “Everyone should wear masks including the low wage servers we’re forcing back to work.”
Conservatives: “You can’t tell me to wear a mask, commie.”
Far right: “MASKS ARE 5G MIND CONTROL.”
President Trump will sign an executive order defining Judaism as a nationality, not just a religion, thus bolstering the Education Department's efforts to stamp out "Boycott Israel" movements on college campuses
It's very cool to have people in my mentions saying I don't count as being Jewish, Nazis calling me a "Jew parasite," and Trump supporters calling me anti-semitic. Very cool and neat, really enjoying the discourse.
yeah weed is performance enhancing... it's enhancing my performance on this bag of doritos hehehuhueheheuehehu (DISCLAIMER: I'm not cool enough to smoke weed, implications that I do were made for the purpose of this joke).

During a long racist diatribe and minstrel show, one of them asks "where's the receipts" that black farmers face discrimination. Incredible.
My dog just picked up the entire bag of treats, so I have no treats to bribe her with to get her to drop the bag of treats. She has seized the means of production.
When I wrote that Cody should "chug" some gatorade, I didn't think he'd down the entire bottle in one take like a hamster dying of thirst. Truly a champion.
@socialistdogmom
ever notice how being broke doesn't instantly stop people from being alive??? if you're so "poor" why haven't you immediately dropped dead?
Quick guide to all the people you should have empathy for in deadly freezing weather:
- People in red states
- People in blue states
- People in any state or country in the world
- Unhoused people
- People in ICE concentration camps
- People
- All people
- Except Ted Cruz
I lost my private health insurance. Without medicare for all, that meant my doctor—whom I saw since I was 14 years old to treat my OCD—was suddenly out of network. I no longer have the "choice" to see the doctor I knew for 15 yrs. Or is that not the kind of choice that matters?
My plan lets everyone choose a public plan without forcing anyone off their private plans. The question is whether you trust the American people—including the working people of

I do. Why don't you?
People who defend the Gates Foundation making the Oxford vaccine exclusive to AstraZeneca, claiming that it's the only way to make a "safe" vaccine: 1) Do you think AstraZeneca is the only qualified pharma company in the world 2) How's that working out
Fun mastodon facts! These magnificent creatures once roamed north and Central America. Unlike grassland dwelling mammoths, they preferred forests and ate leaves. They were likely social animals, similar to modern day elephants. For more information, google “mastodon social”

Such brainwashing to demand that other people be treated worse so that you, also treated badly, can feel superior. So at least there's someone "under" you. And that people doing work that society needs to keep people alive (food service, sanitation, etc.) should be at the bottom.
Today I was called a “person with a uterus.” As I wept bitter tears, a communist cat boy threw a copy of Das Kapital at me. I opened it only to find photographs of Michelangelo’s David’s groin, and as I recoiled in horror, someone slipped hormone treatments into my gaping mouth.

I like how Noam Chomsky is ignored by corporate media EXCEPT when he advocates for pragmatic voting (and of course they leave out all his critiques on corporate media bias).
My parents live in Encinitas. They've been self isolating since March bc they don't want to get sick/infect others. If this protest causes a spike in cases in Encinitas (it likely will) I'm going to be absolutely livid. You can't live without the beach for a few months?? Selfish.
So if someone carries a chainsaw around in public, nobody can try to stop them, and if someone does, it's ok to chainsaw them in half? Am I understanding the precedent correctly?
If it feels like the goalposts are shifting in terms of covid safety, you are correct. That’s what happens when a virus is allowed to run rampant and mutates to become more infectious. And it’s so frustrating how unclear the public messaging has been about it.
BREAKING: In a blog post by Matt Walsh, the Daily Wire pundit argued that modern society has "delayed the onset of adulthood" by "inventing a new sort of human: the 'teenager.'" Walsh has come under fire for previous comments defending teen pregnancy.

I love it when an entire fully gowned medical team bursts forth naturally from my abdomen to give me medical attention after I break my arm. Also I am constantly shitting myself it is the natural way.
It also unintentionally reveals the fuzziness of our definitions of things, such as "birth." When is a child born? When they first crown? When they take their first breath? When the cord is cut? This can all happen over a long period of time... a spectrum, if you will.
When I was a kid I hated bananas. But I liked banana chips. When I found out banana chips were made out of banana, I cried. If we let kids dictate public health policy we would all be dead in a day.
