I feel like we need a massive public education campaign to inform people that "natural" and "healthy" are two completely different words with separate meanings

my brother had a brilliant idea that i wanted to share with other people who have four-legged family members: he trained our two cats to go directly to the door when they hear the fire alarm.

obviously at first the fire alarm sent them scrambling for cover, but he started slowly by giving them treats whenever it went off, when someone burned food or forgot to open the fireplace flu. he then progressed to calling them to the door to offer treats immediately after the alarm went off. and it actually wasn't too long before the cats voluntarily started going to the door upon hearing the alarm.

i think this was genius because in the event of a real emergency we know exactly where the cats will be and we will not have to waste precious time trying to find them to rescue them. i think this method would work equally well with dogs and probably other free-roaming pets such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. and i certainly encourage others to give it a shot!

I’ve decided that all bats fall somewhere on this horrid little graph I’ve devised. Here are some prime examples of the various Creature Varieties found in nature.

A series of posts from the Alt National Parks Page regarding Elon Musks take over.

Of course I'd say yes if Elon proposed! Then on honeymoon I'd cook a medley of mushrooms I'd foraged. Oops! Was that a Destroying Angel in there by mistake? I guess I was just lucky enough not to eat any of it. Oh, well, time to take this inheritance and end homelessness and make transition care free for anyone who wants it. It's what he would've wanted. 🥲

I would say closer to 99.5% of women don’t like him but the point still stands.

First ape to go to the watering hole with a container and put some of the water in it so that they could drink more later without returning to the watering hole must have been lauded as a fucking genius.

What it meant to be a woman in many African pre-colonial societies was not rigid. “Among the Langi of northern Uganda,” writes Sylvia Tamale, dean of the faculty of Law at Makerere University Uganda, “the mudoko dako, or effeminate males, were treated as women and could marry men.” There were also the Chibados or Quimbanda of Angola, male diviners whom, some scholars have argued, were believed to carry female spirits through anal sex.

[…]

This practice of same-sex marriage was documented in more than 40 precolonial African societies: a woman could marry one or more women if she could secure the bridewealth necessary or was expected to uphold and augment kinship ties. The idea that a female could be a husband perplexed Europeans, and often lead to fantastical conclusions.

Wanted to share an article about pre-colonial African gender identities! The article is really great!

Friendly reminder how to actually use band aids on fingertips because we see people doing it wrong all the time.
