I have a cool story.
Ok.
Back when my mom has just divorced my dad, my dad’s sister was going through this phase where she was obsessed with psychics. While it was out of character for her to associate with my mother, she hoped that a psychic would tell my mom that she should get back with my dad. So, my aunt told my mom that she was going to send this e-mail internet psychic her and my...

not to mention that prostitutes that work in the brothels in nevada can make 6 figure incomes, holla
Sign me up.
The Pascha, Europe’s largest brothel in Cologne, Germany has had two attacks on workers— once in 2003 where she was killed and another in 2006 but she survived.
Oh, but wait, The Pascha doesn’t have security. The women simply rent out rooms to work out of and operate independently.
Ugh. Security seems like something so obvious.

I should’ve elaborated further on my final point:
When women of all professions, including those in the sex industry and profit from having sex, are deemed respectable by our culture, the men our culture rears will no longer view them as expendable and worthless and we won’t see as much men raping and killing sex workers. To get there, we need to start walking the road and that starts...

But it isn’t very safe and leads to many instances of getting taken advantage of. Why would you advocate that? I dont think making it legal would make it any more safe. I mean compare it to sex abuse. Most happens with people you trust.
It’d be safer in a public building and not in a back alley way in...

Prostitution is probably the stupidest thing you could be against, but people don’t actually think about why it’s illegal. They just kind of accept that it is, and therefore should be.
Then again, there are those who seek to illegalize porn, but we’re talking about normal people who don’t quake at the word “sex”.

So I was just thinking....

about the pro-choice phrase, “My body, my choice.”
It’s basically saying women should be able to do whatever they want with their body.
But if that’s true…. why aren’t more people standing up for a women’s right to prostitute herself? If she wants to sell her body for money, that’s her choice. And throughout American, this choice - nay -...
I don’t think a lot of people realize this, but the Israelites were never enslaved by the Egyptians— the only thing that says they were are religious texts, though there are some Greek references to the story, but they’re in many ways very different and seem to be more anti-Semitic than anything and are even bigger fabrications (long story short, a renegade Egyptian priest leads...

Ask me my top 5 songs by _____ →
So, today I told my boyfriend about my long lost soul mate I met in the drive-thru at McDonald’s.
I put a lot of emphasis in the taxonomy of animals, hoping that
A.) my followers will absorb some of it
which leads to
B.) and that they slowly piece it all together and see how we’re connected to everything.
Like, how as primates, we’re not far from rodents, especially compared to something like horses or raccoons.
Oh wow. I just made this spicy chicken noodle stuff and it’s really spicy.
Like, it’s cheap Maruchan shit, so I expected it to be “spicy” not SPICY.
Eek.
Probably the most annoying thing a person could do is reblog an animal post from me and remove the informative bit that I spent time researching and writing.
Not so much with the peacock, but other posts with longer bits of info usually take over an hour to research and write all for the purpose of educating the masses about the natural world with the hope that more people will come to appreciate...

I really like the touch where you made your watermark changes colors
Ah, it’s just that I use either Overlay or Color Dodge with it depending on the brightness of the background in an attempt for some level of subtlety, so it sometimes just happens that way. Not something I set out for.
But, I mean, reducing the colors is literally the last thing I wanted to do….
“Hey, let’s make a gif of a brilliant, flashy peacock!”
“Ok, but we better reduce the colors.”
Uh…
That gif was a bitch to make.
It was either too short, too slow, or the time between frames too great making it look all jerky.
Sigh… restrictive color it is…..

iconoclasticallyqueer replied to your post: Pinniped (seals, sea lions, and walruses)…
So isn’t Puijila darwini the common ancestor for Pinnipedia and Musteloidea only? After they split off from Arctoidea? And the bear-like ancestor would be Arctoidea being as it includes Ursoidea as well?
No. Puijila is basal to Pinnipedia, but since it looks like an otter, Puijila clearly shares a common...
