hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

If you or someone you know is “so bad at cooking that they burn water” what does that mean? How do you burn water?

Well if you leave water boiling for so long that all of it burns away, the minerals in the water remain and burn to the pan. It’s not great.

If this is your problem, the issue you have with cooking is probably getting distracted.

If you are this bad at cooking my first assignment to you is to boil an egg. Once you figure out how to control your attention through this task then you can move on to more complicated things.

The second most important God in my wip (Niradyaya)... Modelled to exist like a dharmic god. But is also highly resistant to it. He saw that everything to have ever been loved would end up in a landfill someday and made that mound of memory his home .. "I give you meaning, again". But also him:

Btw this is not what Niradyaya looks like. I don't draw him because gods in my wip exist beyond the realm of human perception. This is one of his avatars, Devara.. imagine he is THE Buddha...

I purposefully made him god of the landfill, God unchanging and God of all things unloved and abandoned- religion as a framework for the chaos of existence, someone who can retrieve something out of seemingly nothing- a truism, indisputable proof that "matter can never be destroyed".. God as a phenomena of mercy, mercy as the highest form of love..

Love is when love is an open wound, and he does not recoil from the filth of pain
