one presentation from the carnivorous plant conference that haunts me was this one on what we know about carnivorous plant evolution, and evolution within the different kinds of carnivorous plants. so the presenter was talking about different genuses of carnivorous plant and was going over different methods they’re using and stuff and was showing what they learned so far about divergence within the different families and then….and then they got to nepenthes.

apparently so far, all the genetic tests on nepenthes- the huuuge family of tropical pitcher plants native to Asia- have come back inconclusive, bc the plants fuck among themselves so much it’s impossible to see who came from who. all it seems like they’ve been doing for centuries is eating and fucking. the recent construction of modern roads connecting different jungles to each other has allowed previously contained species to escape their sex-laden prisons to grow along the new roadsides, fucking along the way and reaching new places with new oppurtunities to fuck.

they have fucked so much that so far, scientists have not been able to determine where the different species came from, because for every species you have like 80 hybrids between that species and all the other species, including whatever species they originally evolved from. they’re somehow diverse enough to create over 160 distinct species…but none of them are genetically different enough from one another to stop fucking and creating new hybrids, each of which then proceed to fuck.

and they’re still fucking. they just keep fucking. how is this happening. who came from who…how are they so powerful….it’s a genetic mystery

Ya ever feel like the ideal body type for women was inherently just classism and the perfect way to treat women like trophies because like back when women were Thick™ as an ideal body type the only women who were able to look like that were the rich and today now the type is super thin and the only women who can look like that are the women who don’t work labour jobs and can afford not to have a carb diet so basically men only go for rich women and have changed how they objectify women not because of some biological quirk that shifts their lust but entirely because the form of the most privileged women has changed therefore the best trophy to keep

It literally was. Fat was hype when malnutrition and starvation were common. A symbol of leisure.

Gucci Skinny was hype when malnutrition from cheap food was common and when most of the middle class had desk jobs. Symbol of control over women who now had more rights.

Instagram Fit ™ is hype because most people are overworked and too broke to exercise or eat properly. A symbol of “leisure” and wealth.

Your friendly local hick (me) was giving a work presentation to a class that had some audience participation.

A suburban white boy answering a question stumbled through a statement where he was clearly trying to find a polite replacement for “hick” or “redneck” and I s2g this kid said “yeehaw folk.”

I wrote that shit up on the board and said, “I am, in fact, a yeehaw folk,” as my coworker just lost his shit laughing.

this is right up there with the person who couldn’t decide whether to use sir or ma'am to address to address someone and ended up saying captain

Kids break into radio station, swear at listeners

A group of children broke into a radio station in Western Australia’s remote Kimberley region and put themselves live on air for an impromptu late-night show full of swearing.

The first police knew of it was a phone call from a listener, concerned at swear words being broadcast.

Station manager Angie Stahl says she had previously given the children lessons in community radio, and they worked out how to make the studio go live.

“But unfortunately their show mainly involved swearing, which was a bit punk, a bit avant-garde, but also breaches the broadcasting laws, and our codes of practice.

“So the cops got a call from an outlaying station ringing up to say, ‘I think you’ve got some kids on the radio, they’re busy swearing, you’d better go bust them’.”

Ms Stahl said the children appear to have entered through a window in her house, which adjoins the studios.

While in the house they ate some chicken nuggets and dyed their hair.

Not long after going on-air with their expletive-ridden jokes, police officers arrived to put a stop to the radio broadcast.

Ms Stahl said the children may have a future in broadcasting.

“They’d come in a couple of times before to do a couple of shows and programs, so I’d taught them the basics,” she said.

“So it’s good to see the knowledge was used correctly.”

“While in the house they ate some chicken nuggets and dyed their hair”

“A bit punk”

Amazing.

“millenials are so stupid, they can’t perform basic life skills” cries the generation that failed to teach their children basic life skills

also a lot of those practical skills were taught in classes like home ec that have been cut completely as schools slash all spending not related to sports and STEM

The stories of women in my family who were forced into lives they didn’t want and didn’t utilize their passions breaks my heart. My grandma wanted to be a journalist and write about the injustices she saw inflicted on disabled ppl while she was volunteering at a state run institution as a teen. Her father decided that she was “too fat and stupid” for college and forced her to get married at 17 or else he’d make her homeless. As a kid she told me that she wished people believed that she had meaningful opinions on events around her. One of my great grandmothers wanted to be an artist but was pressured into marrying a man who beat her. She stayed up late each night when her children were in bed writing poetry and pasting it over elaborate collages she mad herself. We still have stacks of these notebooks she created but was never allowed to do anything with. My mother wanted to be an operatic singer and was considered a musical prodigy in her town because she taught herself three seperate instruments by 13. When she was 18 she met my then 30 year old father who emotionally manipulated her into giving up her dreams to start a family with him. As a kid I would hear her up at night playing the violin or doing vocal exercises until she became too depressed to practice anymore. Like idk y’all there’s a quiet type of violence in the way women’s talents are devalued and brushed aside in favor of bullying them into “traditional” roles that ultimately don’t fulfill what they wanted for their lives. We’ve lost so much art, music, writing, science, and happiness to misogyny.
