I wish people realized what a waste it is that they're not putting butches in their things. So often I see a male character and think if he was a butch woman he'd be the best female character of all time

not obeying clocks anymore. have shifted to a more intimate form of timekeeping measured by friends’ physical presence, the timbre of a beloved’s voice and my own shifting cycles of despondency.

A typical male baboon is too impulsive and can’t possibly do the disciplined thing. Baboons are far less disciplined than chimps and when you map their brain anatomy you notice that they don’t have a whole lot of frontal cortical function. Even though there are tremendous individual differences among the baboons, they’re still at this neurological disadvantage, compared to the apes, and thus they typically blow it at just the right time. They could be scheming these incredible coalitions, but at the last moment, one decides to slash his partner in the ass instead of the guy they’re going after, just because he can get away with it for three seconds. The whole world is three seconds long—they’re very pointillist in their emotions.

Baboons know what they’re doing; they can play chess in their social landscape almost as well as chimps in terms of moving the right pieces around, but at the critical moment they simply can’t stop themselves from doing the impulsive thing. I once watched a Frans de Waal film, Chimpanzee Politics, at a primate conference, and I was sitting next to another baboonologist. There is a scene where some chimp had just pulled off a brilliant Machiavellian maneuver, and the guy next to me turned and said, “Christ, that is what a baboon would be like if it had a shred of discipline or gratification-postponement.” You’re watching a species where most of their social complexity and social misery is built around the fact that at every logical juncture there’s a pretty good chance that they’re not going to have enough frontal neurons to do the prudent thing, and instead they blow it. It’s amazing to study.
