"humans dont have any special traits!" we can walk upright. we can eat a wide variety of poisons. we can grab things. we're one of the best vocal mimics in the animal kingdom. our brains are so large that we can make up situations. is that not good enough for you?

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

Other people have said pretty much everything there is to say about the identification of Captain James Fitzjames' remains.

As someone who's been fascinated by the Franklin Expedition and other catastrophic polar expeditions since sometime in my teens (a while ago—I'm a millennial), this discovery—including the confirmation that his body was consumed—has brought me a strange amount of... peace?

Before we knew what we know now about those long, cold years on King William Island, some hypotheses about what happened emphasized the idea that the crews kept rank to the bitter end.

And I'm so glad to know they didn't. It feels less awful, somehow, to know that they didn't go to their graves as captains and lieutenants and petty officers and seamen in Her Majesty's Royal Navy, symbols of the Empire to the last. They simply died as human beings with bodies.

Just like all of us.

‘twist villain’ is always good of course but i’m such a sucker for ‘twist hero’. specifically as in they write a character to be as suspicious and unnerving as possible without really actually doing anything wrong yet but you just KNOW something is wrong but then surprise. they’re fine actually. all the alleged wrongdoings were either lies harmless or taken out of context. it’s even better if the suspicious aspects of their personality don’t go away after the reveal that they’re a good guy. they just act and look and talk like that for fun. they’re just a little silly

congratulations to the surprisingly high number of people on my dash who are celebrating the discovery of their beloved lightly-gnawed doomed polar explorer

“everyone interprets characters differently” unfortunately so true! thankfully I was blessed with an intense preternatural insight into their core beings (watched and paid attention) and I don’t have to worry
