HAPPY EUROPA CLIPPER LAUNCH DAY

THIS!! Also, not demonizing sharks doesn’t mean we should demonize dolphins instead. All wild animals are dangerous, and no animal is evil.

Yeah, I see a lot of shark positivity posts on my dash these days and I really appreciate that. But I think something is being left out of the message so I’m just gonna say that:

YES, Sharks are not bloodthirsty monsters. They only do what they do because they are instinctively driven to do so.

NO, sharks are not your friends. They are not sea-puppies, gentle babies, or whatever BS anthropomorphic “cute” term you want to use to describe them.

YES, you are more likely to be killed by falling coconuts and any number of improbable circumstances than you are to be killed by a shark attack,

NO, sharks are not “harmless”. They are apex predators of their habitats and deserve to be treated with the same respect that you would give to a wild lion, bear, or wolf. JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LIKELY TO ATTACK YOU DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY WON’T. ACCIDENTS CAN ALWAYS HAPPEN, AND A SHARK’S PATIENCE IS NOT LIMITLESS.

YES, you should take every precaution to prevent a shark from “test-biting” you.

NO, a test-bite is not just a harmless consequence of shark curiosity. A TEST-BITE CAN KILL YOU. Just because sharks generally release people after the first nip and don’t make any effort to eat them does not mean that the bite is somehow any less deadly. You will bleed out in the water if the wound is bad enough.

YES, sharks are endangered and unfairly demonised and worthy of our support.

NO, that does not mean that anthropomorphising them and spreading false information is okay. 

Please support sharks, but please, for the love of god, give them the respect they deserve when you do so. YOU ARE NOT HELPING THEM BY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SWIM RIGHT INTO THEIR JAWS.

i like hating as well as the next girl but sometimes i follow people on here who make me feel like this

Ik tornadoes aren’t rlly a big problem in Europe but a tornado tmagp episode would be so good… there are few things on earth that strike more fear and awe in me than tornadoes

I am the epitome of “find the beauty in everything” to the point where it makes me a bad driver because I keep getting distracted by grass and flowers on the side of the road on the notoriously dirty ugly American highways

If you still make fun of people for their taste in clothes or music or other media or their appearance you haven’t matured at all. No exceptions.

Reminder that a character does not have to be morally perfect for you to like them and liking flawed characters doesn’t make you a bad person

I’m trying to prove a point to my commanding officer. Reblog if you think it’s okay to keep a few cartons of cigarettes on your space station so long as you don’t actually light them up.
