Not to mention the fact that Mrs. White isn’t qualified to teach. She should be required to take a remedial English course. “I have went”? please. It’s “I have gone”, Mrs. White.
first, my kid would not sign anything without me seeing it first. 2nd, upon seeing it i would be at the superintendant’s office the next morning. then we would speak to the teacher. black folk gotta nip it in the bud.
bob the builder but every episode focuses on some aspect of OSHA regulations
So bc tumblr hates links this will be hard to pass around but theres a White House petition to save the USPS
This is significantly more important than a change.org petition bc it HAS to be acknowledged if it gets enough signatures
Please sign it and reblog!

parents: if we take you drinking do you promise not to talk about anime science for one fucking night?

me three strawberry daiquiris in: but it’s actually NOT impossible for shouto todoroki’s father to have O type blood while his father has AB as he’s a natural occurring chimera. there is one very famous case of a living chimera human with 61% type O blood and 39% type A blood. this is because chimeras can break genetic inheritance rules resulting in impossible heritable traits- which is probably why Shouto is perfectly split down the middle in regards to his generics in both quirk, hair, and possible other features unseen in the manga or anime like melanin production. it’s not unres-
So are you going to tell us about the giant hyperpredatory sperm whales or do I have to go google some nightmares myself?
we’re all familiar with the Sperm Whale of our modern seas, largest of the Toothed Whales! it’s also completely specialized for eating squid and squid ONLY, a comfort to anyone who’s ever managed to get just a bit too close to those enormous razor jaws.
but this was very much not always the case! the earlier members of the Sperm Whale lineage were much less… discerning.
early Sperm Whales all resembled our friendly modern swimming school bus to some degree, but the main difference was in the jaws- early Sperm Whales like Acrophyseter and Zygophyseter all had wide, powerful jaws with ENORMOUS teeth suitable for snacking on fish, dolphins, aquatic sloths, and pretty much anything else they could fit down their enormous gullets, kind of like a modern Orca.
and from 12 to 7 million years ago, these things RULED the seas. Megalodon who?
but the greatest of these was Livyatan Melvillei, which was the size of our modern Sperm Whale.
reaching up to 60 feet long and weighing well over 60 tons, it this thing was a Sea Monster in every sense of the word.
it is so BONKERS huge that they named it after the Hebrew name for the Biblical Leviathan (and also Herman Melville, who would have gotten a real kick out of it). I cannot overstate how unsafe it would be to share an ocean with this thing. Moby Dick would have been an entirely different book if it was still around.
so what does a 60-feet hyperpredatory whale eat?
*Groucho Marx voice* WHY, ANYTHING IT WANTS.
(but mostly other whales.)
Livyatan spent most of its time cruising around looking for delicious smaller whales to shove into that nightmare maw up there, a lifestyle choice we call macroraptorial. though in a pinch, anything else would also do.
(basically, if you were a mid-sized baleen whale in the paleozoic seas you were just SHIT out of luck, between Megalodon and this thing.)
Livyatan may have died out as little as 5 million years ago, meaning it might even have been around to make the early ancestors of Orcas regret their life choices! (Livyatan is the only animal that could possibly make an Orca regret anything, but God, at what cost)
but die out they did, and that’s probably a good thing for us. why don’t we all just take a moment to really appreciate our modern hyperspecialized Sperm Whales, especially the part where they don’t eat us!

Ok so, I saw someone wearing crocs today and I got cursed flash backs to our discussion about dias croc wall, and I think we need to share this with the general public
Oh dear. The time has come. Please fasten your seatbelts because this is going to be one hell of a ride.
Well ladies, gentlemen, and everyone else in between.
Today is the day you all learn about:
Warning: You may laugh hysterically. I couldn't keep it together writing this.
I'd like to begin by saying this all came about because of this picture right here, created by the lovely @nia23. Thank you for the pain and laughter this has caused me.
Let us begin, shall we?
This began with the pink crocs. A fitting choice for the prince of Devildom.
However, this is not the only pair of crocs he would own. Oh no. He owns a whole wall.
To make things more fun. Lord Diavolo also has the little croc charms. There is no doubt in my mind that he also owns one of the Lucifer on a unicorn emote.
As a Prince, and one with possible unlimited finances, there's a very high chance he has multiple drawers full of those little charms.
He also wears his crocs everywhere, opting for them over normal shoes.
You think he doesn't have a pair for every occasion? Wrong.
He wears them to meetings with the elders, flaunting his disastrous shoes by putting his feet on the table and explaining each and every charm to them.
Yes, he wears them in his demon form too.
Now let's get into the fun stuff.
Upon Lucifer's fall with his brothers, Lord Diavolo strolled up in his neon green crocs. Absolutely impossible to miss.
Too embarrassed to tell the truth, Diavolo tells everyone that Lucifer's first words in Devildom were about the soil, while they were in fact "what in the fuck are those?" as he pointed to the prince's feet.
The first outfit that the prince gave Lucifer upon his time in Devildom, included his very own pair of crocs.
Turning to Barbatos, he uttered the words "how far into the depths of hell have I fallen?"
A sigh, and a disappointed look from the butler, as he replied "too far." Lucky Barbatos was able to hand him a normal pair of shoes.
Unfortunately not everyone had been as lucky as the eldest. Lucifer's brothers also got their first pair of crocs.
Asmodeus was hit with it the worst. Crying not only because of his fall, but because he now thought he would have to wear crocs for all eternity. Lucifer eventually got him normal shoes.
Diavolo tried to cheer him up by gifting the newly fallen angel with yet another pair of crocs. This time they came with Asmo's name, spelled out in charms. Asmo locked himself in his room for a week, crying, and unsuccessfully attempting to burn the fire-resistant shoe.
The prince still sends him more charms in attempt to please him. It doesn't work.
They now all have multiple sets, in varying colors. None of which are worn. Or seen. Ever.
Though, Lucifer once had to wear his out in public with the prince. He cried that night when he returned to his room, shameful that he ever had to be seen in them.
Barbatos once tried to rid the prince of his horrific shoes. He now has to count every pair each morning and night to reassure the young lord that not a single shoe is missing. They now haunt his dreams. Literally.
He has even checked every timeline, but they're all the same. Every. Single. One.
The young lord actually found them in a human magazine. Barbatos ordered them as a joke to show him how unflattering they were. Now they have cursed him.
This is now the inside of Lord Diavolo's closet, and everyone has to see it when they come to Devildom. No, you don't have a choice. His racks are also gold, just in case you were wondering.
My work here is complete. I hope you enjoyed. You may unfasten your seatbelts and watch your step as you exit.

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense
#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

It's not problematic to acknowledge the fact that Heathcliff was a brute like he literally killed dogs in case you forgot. #rochestersweep

I love the implication here that Rochester never did anything cruel either. He literally locked his wife in the attic and lied to Jane about it 😭 like that was a pretty significant thing that happened
