The implication here is that some plants and animals, or at least some varieties of some animals, were created as domesticated already. Which is an interesting thought and one I had never considered before. And granted, there's no reason that can't be true, Biblically anyway, but I genuinely had never thought of that as a possibility before.

do you ever wonder how much of our agricultural and husbandry knowledge was taught to Adam and Eve directly by God in the Garden of Eden vs. stuff we had to figure out?

take honey, for example. honey figures prominently throughout the Bible. which is more likely:

some guy said “hey I bet there’s something worth eating in the spherical house of the flying scorpion bugs”

or Adam and Eve had apiaries in the Garden and after the Fall, they said “well unfortunately the bees can hurt us now, but it’s hashtag worthit”

No, y'all need to understand: this was how I grew up. My mother was 100% like this. Things do not get put where they are easy to use, they get put where they will Look Nice For The Southern Living Photoshoot.

And, like...I'm 40 years old, my mom's opinions about these things doesn't effect me anymore. but if this is how someone is about their living space I genuinely can't respect them because I have lived through the misery it causes. If they live by themselves, fine, but if one other human being has to live with them, this attitude needs to die.

There is no invisible audience. Make your space comfortable, no one is going to take pictures.

On one hand, it's great to see people learn how to unfuck their living spaces. On the other hand, that stuff like "frequently used articles should be stored near where they're used" and "trash receptacles should be placed near activities that generate trash" are being received as radical ideas points to a serious knowledge transmission problem.

The EMT obviously didn't give any identifying information. Somebody somewhere fell out of a bunk somewhere and broke bones, but who was it? Gee, great question, total mystery, utterly impossible to say. Where? Drawing a blank, maybe the moon or somewhere. The brother didn't have any clue that he was speaking to the same person years after the fact, and is probably still in the dark to this day if she didn't confirm it.

You do have to be careful in a job like that how you talk about it to your family. But this story wouldn't scan like it does if the paramedic hadn't been.

It's hard to tell in profile, but...is that Brad Dorif?

this is one of my favourite quotes taken out of context

Getting better. Qualified success on the workout today. Partial.

Didn't finish full workout I wanted to but I made it to the goal distance under time. Still working on stamina but it's coming.

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

They were both poisoned. Unless you've been building up an immunity to iocane powder (and you haven't), you are now dead and are penalized accordingly.

Tumblr, I propose a battle of wits!

I have put Iocaine powder in one of these two goblets. You choose, then we both drink.

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

To the pro Palestine crowd: today crowds of Gaza’s jeered the bodies of a four year old toddler, a baby, their mother, and an 84 year old peace activist who actively helped sick Palestinian children. Today, the “freedom fighters” had a poster showing ranks of coffins draped in Israeli flags with a Hamas soldier standing rooted to the ground above like a tree WHILE THEY HANDED FOUR COFFINS BEARING THE BODIES OF INNOCENT NON-COMBATANTS THEY TOOK HOSTAGE AND KILLED OVER TO ISRAEL, IN RETURN FOR “FREEDOM FIGHTERS” (read: terrorists that got caught) THAT ISRAEL IS HANDING OVER BECAUSE, UNLIKE HAMAS, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL HAVE SOULS. Today Gazans brought their babies and children to watch terrorists hand over the bodies of a murdered baby and child. Today there was a poster explicitly threatening the murder of Israeli hostages if Israel attacked Gaza. Today an Israeli father has to look upon the decomposing bodies of his wife and two precious children. Today, Israeli grandparents have to look upon the body of their murdered grandchildren and daughter in law. Today the mourning nation of Israel will have to deal with the world blaming THEM for these deaths or going on and on about the innocents of Gaza, because God forbid the slavering masses of Jew haters pause for even a second to stop making everything about someone who isn’t Jewish and weep for a dead Jewish baby and a dead Jewish toddler and a dead Jewish mama and a dead Jewish grandpa.

Today Gaza showed their true colors (even though those colors were already EMINENTLY clear) irrevocably.

If you are still on Palestine’s side today, I have nothing to say to you. I pray you open your eyes. I pray you at least have the decency to leave Jews alone — just for one freaking day.

To all my Jewish and Israeli mutuals, I love you. I’m crying with you.

I would have loved to hear that radio traffic. I bet it was amazing.

Anyone who has worked a real job knows the look of someone standing there looking at something that's gonna fuck up their afternoon

On mobile, this looks like the single snarkiest answer ever given in the history of man. 😂

hello!! im intrigued by your username, what made you choose it?

okay the non-american burger absolutism seems to be "on a burger bun = burger" so i have to ask the australians out there: does that mean a yumbo is a burger

If you reblog this talking about tallow, I'll block you. Not because I don't like tallow, but because that would be really annoying.

Okay, mark this workout down as DNF.

That's the point the Bechdel Test was making, though. The bar is on the floor and a lot of media at the time still couldn’t get over it. Doesn't mean you should only consume media that does or even that an individual media was bad for not passing. It helped gage the trend, though, which was pathetically bad.

This has improved since, in part because of things like the Bechdel Test pointing out just how lame a lot of fiction was in dealing with women.
