I have a friend decide not to get it for her son because “his autistic ass won’t have a woman in his life in the future”. Men can spread hpv and suffer from it too, btw

Conservative political action conference

Orban was a guest speaker a couple years ago in the US. Seems like he founded the cpac in Hungary afterwards

Whoa. It’s crazy how varied velvet ants are. I was so sure the ones I grew up with were red with a black stripe in the middle of their abdomen.

Turns out I didn’t misremember: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasymutilla_occidentalis

I still quote this song often. It’s probably a good thing I never had kids, they’d be so embarrassed of me haha

I don’t know the song but YouTube shows it was posted 8 months ago. This comic was originally published decades ago

I’ve only watched one movie in the last 10 years or so, it was required for a class. I’m glad it was Sinners because it is such a great movie to take apart in a classroom setting. That music scene that crossed eras is one I’ll never forget.

No idea how many awards they walked away with, just know Michael B Jordan walked away with the prize like he deserved

Persimmon can be blue, but that picture is edited and over-saturated. They’re darker and have a powder coat, like blueberries. Wouldn’t be surprised if the apple picture was also edited, but they can have pink flesh.

I think if he had not started those wars the following presidents would’ve exercised far more caution in authorizing strikes. Also, a lot of bad laws were passed during his presidency that allowed the executive to hold more power

I love the patterns and colors Omg. That coat looks so comfy! Best of luck, I hope your interview goes well :)

I don’t think what I said contradicts what you said. I live in north central Montana. I just didn’t know the bison were classified as livestock, that’s all :)

What I’ve seen is ranchers pushing for more time and more herd allowance on public lands while western ecologists and native ecologists fight to restore the balance. It’s not just cows that people are fighting over. The ranchers hands also been pushing for beaver culls because they can cause hazards for the cattle. But culling the beavers and increasing the herd sizes has had cascading effects on ecosystems, especially regarding excess nitrogen in our waterways. MSU-N did a multi-year study on Beaver Creek and held a lecture on the results, and they invited the local park council to sit in (hoping they’d learn something). It visibly upset the ranchers, one even tried to argue with the professor that presented the data. To them it’s all an assault on their livelihood.

I’m not even going to go into the effects their grass mixes have been having. It’s all a hot fucking mess, and I think what American Prairie is doing is admirable

I have a friend that jokes about stealing her dog’s kennel so her kids and pets don’t pile on her while she’s trying to study. That’s one way to enforce boundaries I guess lol

There’s actually a ton of conflict regarding livestock grazing on public lands in Montana. I didn’t know the bison were considered livestock, but I have seen first hand the kind of damage cattle have been doing to local ecosystems especially because the herds always seem larger year by year.

Land snails are hermaphroditic

I take issue with using a phylogeny as evidence, because a phylogeny is a hypothesis. Or maybe I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m talking about lol

c/superbowl deserves to see this lol

That’s what Pallas’s cat is called in Mongolia, and it’s also part of its scientific name

I love that this article has already been updated to mention this cow’s tools!

I have EDS and it definitely feels like this sometimes lol

First, holy shit she does not look 56. Second:

“It’s kind of odd that the thing I get celebrated for the most - people are always like, ‘Wow, you’re a woman and you’re gay’ - are the two things I put the - least work into.”

I love this quote
