The aliens are gonna be so confused when humans first board their ships and start doing this, and by GOD I hope at least one of them is going to have a camera when it happens.
when im listening to my own library and playlists i feel like a powerful wizard but when im trying to show my music taste to anyone it feels like i have a shame cone on
The only difference between a wizard hat and a dunce cap is the wide brim of privacy
I can make post after post after post explaining WHAT dinosaurs are and HOW birds are living dinosaurs as CLEARLY as I can and point to FREE RESOURCES for people to learn more and yet I *STILL* get ignorant CRAP like this filling my notes EVERY DAMN DAY

dinosaur means a descendant of the most recent common ancestor of Megalosaurus and Iguanodon. “terrible REPTILE” is what we named them because HUMANS NAME THINGS.
birds descended from that ancestor. thus, they are dinosaurs.
neither dinosaurs NOR birds are lizards. lizards are their OWN DAMN HYPERADAPTED THING that are super weird and nothing like birds or dinosaurs.
i am a PALEONTOLOGIST and it SAYS SO IN MY BIO so CLEARLY I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
you can also GOOGLE THIS. AND GOOGLE WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING.
like, let’s put it this way:
I have known, my entire life, a particular truth about the world. The majority of evidence has continued to support that truth, throughout my 30 years of life.
And yet, every five seconds, I get a million people telling me, with their whole chests, that I am wrong, even though, I am not.
What I’m saying is I’m constantly getting the same effect as gaslighting by pretty much all of humanity apart from my comrades in arms and that has, in fact, contributed to my mental health issues.
This is not okay. Willful ignorance is not okay. We all need to be more okay with admitting we don’t know things and looking them up. I don’t know *lots* of things. And that’s okay! I look them up! I learn!
Be okay with being wrong! Be okay with learning!
Stop doing this to scientists! We’re really tired and really scared bc the planet is on fire and no one is listening! Thanks!
Took suggestions for the color wheel challenge over on twitter. It was super fun! Would love to do it again, either over on twitter or maybe here on the ol’ blog. :D (Not sure when, but. Someday! XD )
suzanne collins is such a genius… the cultural phenomena of her series leading to the hanging tree house remixes, mockingjay being milked for two (bad) movies, the capitol-inspired makeup palettes, the halloween costumes, the explosion of the market for dystopia, the butchering of her characters and removal of disabilities, disfiguration, and racial tension + representation to sell more tickets, the extra gale scenes to fuel discourse, and the audience showing up to cinemas to watch what was pretty honestly marketed to them (the jacob vs edwardification of the symbolic love story and also to watch children fight to the death) it’s just so ridiculously ironic i would say you can’t write this shit, but she did write about it… in The Hunger Games published 2008
