Not that I was expecting much otherwise, but Shark Week has just started and they kicked it off by having a convicted rapist force a caribbean reef shark into tonic immobility.
This is incredibly stressful for the shark and there was no scientific data being collected - they just strap a camera to the dorsal fin for extra content.
Now let’s talk about how ridiculous these assholes look.
They’re in FULL CHAIN MAIL. All these theatrics about how dangerous and scary these REEF SHARKS are, acting like they’re going to be savaged if something goes wrong. It’s all theatrics.
When I worked at the aquarium, my colleagues wore chain mesh gloves and a wetsuit when feeding and handling grey nurse/sand tiger sharks.
These Shark Week dumbasses think they’re so big and tough harassing these reef sharks that are just trying to go about their day.
And this is going to inspire so many idiot divers to copy this stunt to prove how brave they are.
Shark Week has become an absolute garbage pile of sensationalist rubbish rather than any sort educational conservation programming.
Putting this on tv is going to encourage idiots to copy the stunt and continue to treat sharks as something to ‘conquer’ rather than the important apex predators that they are.

Skandar retweeting this made me snort.

in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like
cedric: hey we shouldn't have won that quidditch match, potter was being attacked, we need to replay when he's better
apparently also cedric: I LOST?!? TIME TO BECOME A DEATH EATER
A/N: SHIT I FORGOT IT WAS DECEMBER ENJOY THE START OF 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
Edmund gets cold easily but also loves the snow because he thinks it’s pretty
almost as pretty as you
You both would wake up early in the morning from the light streaming in through the windows
“Mmgh.. Bunny, close the blinds.”
“I didn’t open them, Ed.”
Once you and Edmund opened your eyes and peeked out the window, you two would see snow falling with no ground to be seen
Your eyes would light up at the sight while squeezing Edmund’s arm
“We have to go outside and make a snowman!”
“What are we? Five?”
“Yes!”
After you and Edmund get dressed and you dragged him outside, you would instantly sink into the soft yet freezing snow because of how deep it was
edmund wearing 6 layers of clothes
“Cold!”
“Darling, it’s snow!”
Edmund would laugh at you and help you out of the snow
edmund would be mesmerized about how you looked in the snow
Edmund throwing a snowball at you while started the snow man
You would look over and see Edmund acting totally oblivious
“Edmund!”
“What?”
“You know what.”
Kisses
Once you two finished the snowman, you would snatch Edmund’s hat and put it on
“Edmund Jr.”
“You couldve named him that without taking my hat, love.”
“Oh, stop whining.”
Once you two went inside, you would go to the library and sit by the fire to warm up
Edmund would bring you into his chest and pull a blanket over you two
“Your hands are like ice!”
“Well we were just outside.”
Kissing Edmund’s hands so they can ‘warm up’
The rest of the day would be spent cuddling, reading books, and drinking tea
Bonus!
Lucy walking into the library to see you and Edmund asleep on the small couch with the blankets and books scattered across the floor
“Aw... I have to get Susan. She’ll love this!”
