In real life, the traddest men I know: change diapers; do chores; are present and playful with their kids; take good care of their wives; work 50+ hours a week to provide for their families; literally never think about the 1950s.

Its obvious to me when people who post about canaries in mines have never met a canary. Like yeah the miners had a special device to revive the canary because canaries are one of the most adorable creatures on the planet and they make adorable little chirping sounds and honestly probably loved the sounds of machinery and people talking so it was probably loud and friendly with the workers. Whatever though maybe meet a canary sometime and youd understand

I might be a little biased but I’m honestly starting to believe that there’s no purer form of love than the defensive spite you see from biologists that have devoted their life to the study of a maligned or misunderstood species. For example:

The hyena biologist that arranged for Disney animators to come sketch captive  hyenas for The Lion King film (Laurence Frank) was so incensed when the animals were depicted as villains in the movie that he later included boycotting the film on a list of ways the average person could help hyena conservation.

Though it’s commonly known that Charles Darwin’s distaste for parasitic wasps played a role in his development of evolution theory (since he felt no loving God would create animals with such a disturbing life cycle), the biologists who study these wasps find it an unfair characterization. When they were tasked with coming up with a common name for the family of parasitic wasps (Ichneumonidae) that old Charles so disliked, they proposed the name “Darwin Wasps” to spite the famous naturalist who had insulted their beloved family of insects.

Parasitologist Tommy Leung was so frustrated with the way people write about parasites to evoke horror and gore that he started writing a Parasite of the Day blog, that specifically avoids inflammatory or unsettling language to describe them. He also illustrates different species in colorful anime art on Twitter in a series called Parasite Monster Girls—which he calls his “love letter to parasites.”

I guess I’m just saying that if you’re a biologist studying an unpopular species and you have a little bit of a chip on your shoulder about it you can always count on me to be in your corner if you want to get a little petty with the public!

[cactusflowerfemme]

You know, I dont agree with the Spartans very often but they were kinda on to something with the whole "husband and wife have to visit each other in secret for the first year because forbidden romance is sexier" thing

[cactusflowerfemme]

all insane girls are on the same wavelength

#mouse mumbles #this is about 'florida!!!' by t swizzle herself #i am not a huge fan of taylor BUT she totally went off with florida #i have long wanted to move to florida to be insane and live in a trailer park with my trailer park husband. #and the florence + the machine feature..... insane girlies stay winning

jesus meeting humanity in a womb is usually mentioned as like an act of humility, degradation, coming into this world through a woman as everyone else does

but what does it say about God that the way He chose to come into the world is by uniting with and putting Himself at the subject of a woman for 9 months and then some. what does it say about God that it was Mary's egg that conceived the Savior, that Jesus' DNA is the unity of just woman and God

[cactusflowerfemme]

i forget if i've bitched about the michael knowles video yet but i'm big frustrated

[cactusflowerfemme]

I need someone who will unconditionally advocate for me without the expectation that I will eventually learn to not need their help anymore

[cactusflowerfemme]

Am I allowed to talk about wanting to experience God's love through and from other human beings here on earth and have that be taken at face value rather than as a metaphor for eventually coming face to face with God in heaven or is that too impatient and materialistic
