“You Said That I Tricked Ya, Cause I-I Didn’t Look Like My Profile Picture. Too Bad I Don’t Agree....”

Help a friend please

please reblog if you can. I don’t have alot of followers on here but I could really use the help…

i need two root canals, 3 fillings, and at least one crown, plus 3 of my wisdom teeth are starting to impact. it’s getting really difficult to eat, and i haven’t been able to eat in a while without pain. i have insurance that will cover 80% of the cost for me, but I still have at least $2,000 worth of work to do after insurance.

if you have anything to spare in these hard times, please consider donating so that i can eat without being in constant pain. thank you if you read all this and please stay safe.

I might be a little biased but I’m honestly starting to believe that there’s no purer form of love than the defensive spite you see from biologists that have devoted their life to the study of a maligned or misunderstood species. For example:

The hyena biologist that arranged for Disney animators to come sketch captive  hyenas for The Lion King film (Laurence Frank) was so incensed when the animals were depicted as villains in the movie that he later included boycotting the film on a list of ways the average person could help hyena conservation.

Though it’s commonly known that Charles Darwin’s distaste for parasitic wasps played a role in his development of evolution theory (since he felt no loving God would create animals with such a disturbing life cycle), the biologists who study these wasps find it an unfair characterization. When they were tasked with coming up with a common name for the family of parasitic wasps (Ichneumonidae) that old Charles so disliked, they proposed the name “Darwin Wasps” to spite the famous naturalist who had insulted their beloved family of insects.

Parasitologist Tommy Leung was so frustrated with the way people write about parasites to evoke horror and gore that he started writing a Parasite of the Day blog, that specifically avoids inflammatory or unsettling language to describe them. He also illustrates different species in colorful anime art on Twitter in a series called Parasite Monster Girls—which he calls his “love letter to parasites.”

I guess I’m just saying that if you’re a biologist studying an unpopular species and you have a little bit of a chip on your shoulder about it you can always count on me to be in your corner if you want to get a little petty with the public!
