I love you, bee cute furry face.
#love how science writers write about animals no one’s ever heard of#so much love there even as there’s this air of professionalism because of the purpose the writing has

#I actually don’t think they were implying it was the earthquake#he’s probably one of those wack conspiracy theorists who think the government controls the weather#and so he thinks he caught the government in a lie#lmaooo#like to not know earthquakes can be found and their paths mapped in advance in 2025 is wild#like I remember shortly after the most recent election#someone I followed was trying to defend uneducated Americans who voted for trump#and she was like ‘the left doesn’t make any effort to reach them. the left has to make efforts to appeal to uneducated people.’#and on the one hand I’m basically agreeing with a lot of what she’s saying#she’s right that educated people aren’t ‘better’ than uneducated people and educated people vote for trump too#and she’s even right that the left just don’t connect with uneducated people nor make any effort to#but on the other hand I’m kind of like. yeah the left doesn’t connect with them because they’re fucking stupid.#like I get that’s harsh but at the same time there’s a reason being educated makes you more likely to vote left and it’s not just because#of how the left campaigns or whatever. like! this is who she is talking about!#how do you appeal to that other than with inflammatory fear-mongering?#how do you appeal to irrational people with reason? to illogical people with logic?#it just doesn’t work! as you can appeal to them through emotions but again inflammatory moral panic is going to win over#any good faith emotional appeals!! like what do you DO to get someone like this to trust you and vote for you?

Do you get it now? Without due process, everyone is at risk. How are you going to prove your citizenship otherwise?
#as always the focus still shouldn’t be on citizenship or legality because this shouldn’t happen to anybody#but yaaay he’s out thank God

thinking about the japanese racehorse who was such a failgirl she became a folk hero for losers
#language#amazing#I love everything about this#not just the fact that a horse is being appreciated despite not being a winner#but also the ritual people made of this#humans will turn anything into a deity#or at least a kind of saint#love it love it love it

you have to be able to defend people who are receiving unjust treatment even if they annoy you even if you personally find them extremely annoying you still have to be able to stand up and say "well thats fucked up"

you're nice to people who are bald or balding, right? you're nice to people with high hairlines? or weird hair growth? right? you don't make mean jokes about going bald at the expense of people who are going through the very scary and usually very isolating process of losing hair?? right???
#god it’s insane what a big deal people make out of this#I mean other people not the people going bald btw. they have every right to feel how they feel about it.#but it’s just like. it’s hair! it’s fucking hair! it’s not even YOUR fucking hair! why do you care?!#people are dying! I know you got bills due! where do you even find room for judging people’s hair?!#get a life!!!

hélène cixous, 'mamãe, disse ele,' or joyce’s second hand from stigmata
#excerpts#man I hate math until writers get their hands on it#then suddenly math is a wonderous key to the universe lmao#which I think math people would say that’s because it always is but for me I can only see it when someone writes about it
