Evolution Simplified
This photoset should be required reading for every citizen.
FINALLY
I had to explain this in philosophy yesterday. to fellow adults.
It is so shocking when grown adults (from some super sheltered midwestern suburb usually) are like “uhmmm monkeys and humans barely even look alike, and like… evolution? i mean, we aren’t pokemon, duh!”
I just don’t even know how to respond to such fuckery.
This post is a good resource, but I honestly think people like that usually don’t WANT to learn. They turn away and go “NO CUZ THE EARTH IS ONLY 6000 YEARS OLD!!!”
THANK YOUUU
I faced the “but evolution is just a theory” thing in psychology class a few weeks ago too and wish I had this then to pull up and show the idiotic motherfuckers
GRAVITY, TOO, IS “JUST” A THEORY.
SO IS THE THEORY OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS BUT THAT ALSO WORKS PRETTY WELL I’D SAY
The differences between the colloquial and the scientific/mathematical definitions of the same word can really suck :/
MCU Avengers ships ⇒ Natasha Romanoff x Pepper Potts (Pepasha | BlackPepper)—“I thought you two… didn’t get along?” “No, that’s not so.”
Men never ask what they should call women’s pain, so they call us crazy. They call us crazy and they laugh at us. The same men who say women aren’t funny obviously do find women funny. They find women funny at the most inappropriate time: when we’re hurting. There is no sympathy, no empathy, for young women under the influence, on the verge of, or currently breaking down. Girl pain is titillating and amusing disaster porn. In Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes’ case, their celebrity eclipses their humanity; they become the “willing victims” of the public abuse of men. Their inner turmoil, a spectacle, is a living punchline reaction gif, making us ask, “Where are their people? ”
“What Should We Call Girl Pain?” by Safy Hallan Farah
This is why Safy is the most brilliant writer I know. Read the whole thing. She just nails it.

5969 Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn’t a song that anybody else wrote. It has its own melody, it has its own words. Very few people get to sing their song. Most of us fear that we cannot do it justice with our voices, or that our words are too foolish or too honest, or too odd. So people live their song instead. ”

60Hyperbole and a Half: Depression Part Two »
When I get low enough that I can’t drag myself out of bed for 4 or 6 or 12 hours, there’s really nothing that fixes it but letting it pass. It’s like a virus, or maybe like a day on a planet that precesses chaotically about its axis of rotation so that you never really know how long it will be until the next sunrise.
But when I feel okay, there’s a strangely happy little thought that often keeps me from teetering. I take the existentialist view - nothing has meaning. So if nothing has meaning, then why should the fact that everything-is-meaningless be, itself, meaningful? It shouldn’t!
Maybe the meaninglessness of meaninglessness just makes everything seem even worse for some people, but I find it kind of uplifting. Or maybe “relieving” is a better word.
I needed this today. I have been a puddle of meaningless apathy for weeks. It’s like a fever… just have to wait for it to break.

Welp. Never gonna unsee this.

70659 I wish the whole day were like breakfast, when people are still connected to their dreams, focused inward, and not yet ready to engage with the world around them. I realized this is how I am all day; for me, unlike other people, there doesn’t come a moment after a cup of coffee or a shower or whatever when I suddenly feel alive and awake and connected to the world. If it were always breakfast, I would be fine. ”

I humanized the Magic School Bus, since it’s Ms Frizzle’s TARDIS equivalent! I mean, she IS a Timelord right? And the cliche of overused references ensued!
