every single one of the 70 year old wine moms in the replies posting gifs can be shown the guiding light of maoism. I believe this in my bones. we just need to print the little red book in the live laugh love font

lmao a ton of stocks are down today except for lockheed martin Not ominous at all

Happy international mother language day! Resharing my thread from last year

we seem to have started another day with this administration where even its fiercest critics refuse to name white supremacy's role in all of this. RFK JR isn't dumb. He is a white supremacist trying to justify starting up work camps and child separation. Call the thing what it is.

it's wild how much bullshit happens inside us just to squeeze some phosphate ions together

I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it

In the book "1491", Charles Mann mentions European colonizers finding many places in the Americas unpopulated. Mann chalks this up to diseases spreading ahead of Europeans But what he doesn't say is that he also takes Europeans' accounts at face value

This is literally the Chad/virgin meme in real life lmao

4 day weeks where you have the monday off feel objectively longer than 4 day weeks when you're out friday

Dr. Emmett Chapelle earned a PhD in #biochemistry. He pioneered the use of #luciferase and #luciferin (which in fireflies leads to flashing light signals) to detect life…. #28DaysOfBlackSTEMHistory #BlackHistoryMonth www.phillytrib.com/special_sect...

When you realize it is almost impossible to overcook chicken thighs

Happy President's Day folks

#worldwhaleday! Today I’m gonna bring one of my favorites! The Northern Right Whales are a critically endangered, beautiful animal. The right whales are separated north and southern as their blubber is too thick for them to cross the equator! So they’re confined to their own hemispheres. #marinelife

Black scholars argued this incessantly after the war. Britain killed 10’s of millions of Indians, Belgium enslaved and genocided the Congo, France slaughtered its Algerian subjects. Nazi Germany was the logical extension of US and European colonialism, not an aberration.

One thing plaguing American media is a sizable portion of editors at prestigious outlets think a bad piece with a bad argument that gets a lot of criticism is a good thing. It’s getting attention! It shows the publication isn’t biased! Publishing bad work that’s poorly received makes them proud.

Think you can spot a Chinese dragon? Here's the twist - that 'dragon' in the lake might actually be a Jiao(蛟), a commonly misidentified mythical creature. Dragons are typically symbols of good fortune, while Jiao can bring water-related disasters and calamities. While both are 1/2 #mythology

aragorn can't actually tell that blood was spilt from a red sun. He just has adhd and got distracted by the sunrise

Happy captain james cook getting what he deserved Day! british colonizer captain cook was killed by Native Hawaiians on this day in 1779. cook, whose men spread disease and used violence against Native Peoples for rejecting european rule, 1/2

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who would by very disappointed in all of this BS but would never, ever stop fighting (or getting his photo taken)

Say it with Megafauna on February 14th! Cave art drawing of a mammoth, perhaps showing the position of the heart. From El Pindal Cave, Asturias, Spain. Around 15,000 years old. Photo: Berenguer (1994) 🦣❤️🏺

This Arab-Sasanian drachm of ʿAbdallāh ibn al-Zubayr has a curious inscription. On the obverse margin, after the Arabic بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ (bismallah) is a Middle Persian word transliterated as bplwy. Many of ibn al-Zubayr's coins have variants of bpl/bplw/bplwy/bplwyn on them. 1/ #Sasanian #Numismatics

Stonewall according to the Trump administration

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other. You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.

I still think we should call the Social War the Font War, given that it was between Roman and Italic.

Oh while we are it Everyone following me should already be on the same page that going to protests against Bibis war isn't antisemitic. But if you see these guys, they aren't supporting Palestinians. They are Jewish version of the Westboro Baptist Church, More deets in the next post

i'm sorry what do you call this
