nobody ever talks about how saying non-binary genders don’t exist is racist as fuck
How?
many many many indigenous cultures have historically included more than two genders and to say that those genders do not exist is to say that those cultural traditions are invalid, and that only the imperialist gender binary is correct. which is racism.
on occasion, i browse the clearance racks at overpriced hipster-y boutiques cause from time to time you can find amazing deals, but being in Rich People Places always makes me a little nervous– and today when i was picking up a layaway from one of these shops, my nerves resulted in a story the shopkeepers are probably gonna be telling for quite a while.
i’d just come from the feed store for lizard food (ie: bugs), and it was like 95F out so they were slowly being smothered to death in my backpack. so when the clerk, who i’d overheard was only on her second day working there, gave me my fancy sundress in a bag way too big for it, i pulled out two dozen crickets in a plastic bag and a tub full of mealworms from my pack and set them gently on the bag so they could breathe better till i got home.
this girl’s eyes go wide and she looks imploringly back at the equally startled-looking manager helping her through the transaction, and i realize that this might look a little weird to folks who aren’t reptile keepers. so, instead of doing the logical thing and explaining that i’m feeding leopard geckos, i sorta chuckled and shrugged apologetically, and just said “dinner, y’know?”
for the briefest of moments, there was an awkward silence so sweaty and suffocating you could drown in it, and then, in true daytime comedy fashion,
Duh. Ever notice shark attacks are only one bite because sharks have a taste oh human and are like “blegh this isn’t what I ordered >.< Sharks also have really really really bad vision…so…everyone- be nice to sharks
I remember I did a report on hammerhead sharks and theyre truly just dopey idiots that’ll just bite you and be like “wow fuck that” and just piss off lol Unless theyre reeeaallyyyy hungry. Sharks are so cool ;-;
Sharks are so vital to our oceans, the ecosystem, and the health of the world. Please be kind to sharks.
SHARK APPRECIATION POST
Sharks are important okay and also super cute and they just wanna swim around doing shark stuff
They do not want to eat humans they are not scary evil monsters, they are cute as heck sea animals which the ocean needs
Stop hurting/killing sharks :(
Sharks also, sadly, have only one appendage that is any good at manipulating objects: their mouth. Thus, if they are curious about something, they do the same thing every thirteen-months-old child does, and investigate it by nomming it.
In other words, I believe the solution to prevent most shark attacks is to give sharks arms.
The small Japanese island of
Okunoshima used to be a chemical
warfare testing site, but has since
been taken over by hundreds of
super-friendly rabbits. SourceSource 2Source 3
Tourists flock to Japan’s Rabbit Island just to be attacked by dozens of bouncing bunnies.
Visitors are mobbed the moment they reach into a bag or rustle anything that sounds like paper.
Officials have banned cats and dogs from the island to keep the rabbits safe.
Many rabbits were use as test subjects when the island it was a chemical warfare testing ground, but it is expected that all of them were killed when the factory was demolished - so no one really knows where all these rabbits came from.
There’s a rumor that a teacher once brought some rabbits to the island for school children to play with, and they then multiplied like, well, bunnies.
Though nobody knows for sure, the tourists don’t seem to care. And the rabbits are totally cool with it. Obvi.
