OHHH NO, OHHHHOHOH NO i cant BELIEVE this is a real animal and not a cartoon character from some pixar short

its real name is the costasiella kuroshimae, and theyre actually not nudibranches, but closely related sacoglossan sea slugs that feed on algea  .… .. .. .   . like … .. sheep

they were discovered off the coast of the yaeyama islands in japan, and theres not actually a lot known about em – a few members of the sacoglossa branch have the ability to steal chloroplasts from algea the eat and add it to their own bodies in a Really Unusual process called kleptoplasty, which might account for their vivid green color ?

either way theyre only 4.5 mm long and all they want to do is move super slowly and eat. a true hero among us

@bunjywunjy are they on your list on Weird Biology? Cause an animal artichoke could make a fun article. XD

Look at the incredible musculature. Truly a consumption machine. Keep away from your carbs and electrolytes or this beast will have enough power to destroy everything in your house faster than a kangaroo at a Pottery Barn.

TIL a man in Nebraska is breeding red cows and sending them to Israel in hopes of a pure red heifer being born there; such an event will allegedly prompt Jews to build a Third Temple, which fundamentalist Christians believe will usher in Jesus’ Second Coming.

You did it. You crazy son of a bitch you did it.

Neat.

When you get sick of the world not ending so you decide to take matters into your own hands.

This is also why there’s such a push with American Christians to recognize Jerusalem as the capital and also why they don’t really care about the environment. They’re basically a death cult that thinks they can accelerate the world towards the book of revelation

The Vice President of the United fucking States is a huge proponent of this

It sounds funny, but they are literally trying to use Jews to trigger the armageddon, which they believe would cause all the Jews to die. Bullshit or not, its deeply rooted in antisemitism.

only half die, the rest convert which is somehow Even Worse

When no-fault divorce was legalized in the 70′s, the states that legalized it saw a decrease of 8 to 16 percent in married women committing suicide and a 30 percent decline in domestic violence.

(from @aisandetsarepeopletoo)

this is why worshipping the so-called “traditional family” is a load of fucking bullshit

that and (as suggested by the quotes) there’s no such thing as a universal traditional family, even among people of European descent

sometimes in the Middle Ages, a traditional noble family could involve marrying your cousin and then suddenly announcing that you’d just “discovered” your relation to each other if/when you wanted to annul the marriage

a traditional family could be a couple, their children, and a friend’s non-orphaned child they were raising until said child reached adulthood

it could have multiple husbands or wives

it could be an entire monastery and several children sent to them by their families for various reasons

it could be two seamstress commonlaw wives treating their teenage apprentices as surrogate daughters

it could be several generations in a castle together

it could be everyone living in a given boarding-house

the more you dig into this, the more apparent it becomes that the only rule is there are no consistent rules

hey hey it’s everyone’s not-so-favorite crippled dyke trying to pay her bills while she recovers from knee surgery!

i had an arthroscopic procedure to repair a torn meniscus and remove a cyst in my right knee on the 13th and i’m currently on a leave of absence from my job that’s supposed to be six weeks long, so yeah i’m not making money right now.
i can’t even get around without crutches or a walker, i obviously can’t drive, especially on prescription narcotics, and i also have stitches in my knee (i’ll spare everyone from looking at them). i also have lupus + arthritis, fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome – that’s how the meniscus tore in the first place – which has already reduced my ability to work like i used to the past year and a half and i’m ready to just give up already. i’ve been trying to get SSDI for over a year now and while the social security administration said they would do a reconsideration of my case after i handed in a doctor’s note and my leave papers for my file i haven’t heard a peep from them since.

i really just need help with my internet (it’s $200-something because centurylink won’t stop trying to tack shit onto my bill) and my cellphone (it’s $150), so i’m looking at $350. my previous orthopedist bills were adjusted to a zero balance cause i’m that poor so we don’t have to worry about that FOR NOW.
