the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

Yk that pirates and seafarers put goats on the Galápagos Islands way back when, incase they got stranded? bc they were left for so long, their population grew out of control (they were an invasive species) . they damaged crops and rare plants only native to the islands. so they were causing issues, obviously.

so how did the conservationists fix the goat problem?

air strikes from attack helicopters. basically, they gunned em down until there were too few to find easily. but they weren't all gone, so yk what the conservationists did next?

judas goats. they tagged some goats, sterilised them too, and set them free. and bc goats are sociable, they'd go off and find a trip (group of goats). a few days later, they'd find the goat in this new trip, kill the other goats, then send the tagged one on its way to find a new trip.

that has to be bad for the poor goats right? yeah, yeah it was. the goats would experience trauma from the sound of the guns, and anxiety because they came to associate the sound with the death of animals they formed bonds with. capture and handling could also cause anxiety. repeated isolation could cause even more.

but did it work? yes. the plant life and animals that we thought had gone excinct because of the goats reappeared. the ecosystem bounced back really well.

what happened to the judas goats? the over 200 of them on Isabela were allowed to remain on the island for the rest of their lives as there was no chance of them reproducing (they had been sterilised as part of the prep for them to become judas goats). the carcasses of the other goats, while some were taken by locals living on the islands, were mostly left to decompose (not bad for the ecosystem, there was a huge amount of them too, too many to move).

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

this one's for you, edwin paine

[fox-mulder-gets-pegged]

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

I need everyone who didn’t read the books to know that Felassan (who’s name means slow arrow in elven)

This guy

Who was in several of solas’ memories and has notes around the lighthouse and crossroads

Was in the masked empire. He was a friend and mentor of Brialas and helped her with her efforts to use her relationship with Celene to improve the lives of elves in Orlais (and tried to let her down gently when it became apparent that was not enough).

He refuses to let Briala tell him the code for the eluvian network so that he cannot give it on to Solas. Refusing to tell him would not be enough to keep it from him. When he meets with Solas he tries to convince him that modern elves should be given a chance. Solas murders him, his ally of thousands of years, for this.

In inquisition, Cole says this:

This is what the Betrayal of Felassan represents. Solas murdered his trusted friend and ally because he though modern elves were people whose lives had value.

people love extolling the virtues of ball-and-socket joints and how it makes us more advanced and all that but I don't see any fucking octopuses in slings now do I. Bones are overrated and I want a refund.
