[ID: A screenshot from the subreddit "Cool Guides." The caption reads, "A cool guide for a mnemonic device for remembering the Great Lakes." The photo is of the Great Lakes, all labeled, with text above and below. The top text reads "Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly," with each word's first L underlined, and the bottom text lists the lakes from west to east, with each L in Lake underlined. End ID.]

@rpepperpotshipssciencebros please forgive me for this one

one of the primary issues in the Beauty Privilege discourse is that every word for beauty/attractiveness that we now use as synonyms used to, as recently as a half century ago, be very strongly-defined semantic sisters meaning different things. you find this out quickly when reading victorian novels. "attractive" for instance didn't refer to physical appearance, but "beauty" and "prettiness" did, but weren't synonyms of each other, either. "handsome" was distinct from "beauty" and both were used to refer to men and women but meaning different things. "charming" was something else. etc. this created a healthy semantic ecology where people had stronger self-identification with various categories. maybe you weren't beautiful but you were absolutely charming. maybe you were a handsome woman (these still exist thank GOD). in modernity it's all been flattened into "hot or not" which is a category error because it's far more subjective than more granular and numerous definitions

It's that time of year, let's go over how to maintain your leather boots and shoes to last until your feet fall off.

Your leather footwear does not have an infinite shelf life. It requires conditioning in addition to stuff like heel and sole replacement. I'm gonna go over the easiest way to take care of them and ensure you get your money's worth out of those spency boots you bought.

Remember: Take care of your shoes, and they'll take care of you!

hey it's mid january, the salt season in the northern hemisphere!

winter is super tough on leather, be nice to it. you don't want your spency doc martins falling apart in two seasons do you?

The Red Spider Nebula (NGC 6537) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Sagittarius, known for its intricate, two-lobed shape resembling a spider, formed by a dying star shedding its outer layers.

Wait are we called mammals after mammary glands? Are mammals named after tits???

ARE WE THE BOOBS CLASS?

OH

We are. And we also named our galaxy after boob juice. Twice.

"milky way" is obviously milk, but the hidden part is that "galaxy" comes from the Greek γάλα (gála), meaning "milk".

It's the tit-goo path tit-goo-thing. We are very, very breast focused as a species.

Eukaryote (good-kernels) as opposed to prokaryotes(before-kernels). We are the Domain of Fortunate Cellular Nuclei.

Animalia (of the anima.) we are in the Kingdom of the Breathing, or the Air-Souled.

Of the Phylum (tribe or clan) Chordata (having a string). We are the Clan of the String, referencing the spinal cord.

Class Mammalia, of course. the division of the titties.

Order Primate, which is a bit stuck-up, but I suppose the people doing the naming get to pick. Primate is of course primary, or First/Highest. Interestingly, this is in the sense of it being a job; a primate is a bishop of Christianity. This is reflected in the medieval Scala Naturae, where “primate” is an office held by the “natural” or divinely appointed top being in each tier of existence. Seraphim are the primate angels; humans are the primate people; lions are the primate animals; oak trees are the primate plants; and diamonds are the primate minerals. Translating the intent here, we are the Order of Ordained Authority, which we share with other natural bosses such as lemurs.

Depending how you want to do this, we are also suborder Haplorhini, the dry-nosed. This is separated from wet-nosed apes.

After this we land in the repetition of Homina-homina-homina-homina where there are several classes that drill down ever further, all of them rooted in “hominid.” Everyone knows homo is “man, human” but the root of why it’s “man” is because it is first “earth”. Human means “earthling”, and is rooted in “not-divine.” We are the family, subfamily, tribe and genus of earthlings.

By the time you get to species we are very lonely indeed, with only one species in our genus. This is actually a terrifically lonely place, and in this we are “sapiens.” This doesn’t mean just “wise” but “being wise,” which is more of a duty than a descriptor.

When you put it in context: Domain of Fortunate Nuclei, Kingdom of the Air-Souled, Clan of the String, Class of Milky Boobs, Order of the Bosses, Family of Earthlings, Tribe of Earthlings, People of Earth, Earthlings, Thinking Earthlings.

The point of taxonomy does seem to be making oneself a box that excludes all others in order to feel properly lonely and alone in it; one’s place in the world defined until one is alone. however, zooming out a bit, it does make for some stirring company.

To every IRGC puppet who claims the protests in Iran are all CIA or Mossad or anything other than the will of the people; this is the leader of the regime they are fighting against:

if you can't even envision what it's like to live underneath a regime that openly and proudly states this as a position of policy; than shut the fuck up, have the slightest bit of humility and stand beside the people that are fighting against the regime that's destroyed their nation for 47 years.

There they go, my favorite gaang 🥹

being a middle schooler is so funny because they'll ask why you're in the principal's office for the third time this week and then you'll say you're being provoked because your peers hate you for no reason other than being a bit different and they won't leave you alone and you don't know what else to do besides hit, to which they will respond that this shouldn't be a problem because you're really good at math

Have a fire lord Zuko. Because.
