I wish there were different words for the different types of forgetting because  when I say I forgot something, I don’t mean “I forgot we had plans on Friday.” I almost always mean “I forgot today was Friday.” I know my friend’s birthday is on March 20th, but I won’t wish her happy birthday on time because I won’t know it’s March 20th on March 20th. My forgetfulness has nothing to do with not caring about/remembering events and everything to do with my inability to keep up with the passage of time.

A Tiki bar but instead of appropriating Oceanic cultures and religions, it’s all Garbled Catholic Iconography.

Me *points to cherub*: can you make that but hollow so I can fill it with Mai Tais?

The walls are covered in Lorem Ipsum but if anyone asks, all the staff say it’s a sacred, mystical text.

Bar snacks are all shaped like communion wafers, but, like, salted

You stick your tongue out and a waiter in short shorts and a Roman collar gently places one onion ring on your tongue.

Mini crucifixes instead of drink umbrellas

fun fact: there’s literally a bar with this exact theme in vancouver called hail mary’s! it’s catholic themed and there’s a confession booth and the bathroom is styled like hell

you say that and then you´re not going to add pics?

funniest shit ever is bath and body works having beef with build a bear workshop since they both have the same initials (babw), which causes shipments to occasionally be delivered to the wrong store

*bath and body works employee voice* well this sure as shit ain’t soap

*build a bear workshop employee voice* this is fucking soap

This just makes an opportunity for the most hilarious weekly-to-biweekly swap ever, showing up in a public place like two squabbling divorced parents, hatefully pushing large cardboard boxes at each other and repacking their cars with them with absolutely no words exchanged

new enemies to lovers just dropped

Photoshop the goose from untitled goose game into the background of a photo of a place where something bad happens, but it’s a photo of before the bad thing happening, so it’s implied that the goose caused it

I have to say I really appreciate how Into the Spider-Verse makes no effort whatsoever to give Dr. Octavius any kind of pathos. Superhero media so often goes out of its way to establish that the main villain’s female sidekick – should one be present – has Suffered Terribly and how it’s totally Not Her Fault that she’s ended up the way she is, or at least give her a humanising moment of empathy with the protagonist, but nope. She’s just a big amoral jerk and no one likes her.

What I’m saying is that Olivia Octavius is the kind of mad scientist who would unironically respond to a hero’s horrified “what in God’s name?” by exclaiming “God had nothing to do with it!”, and I respect that.

She’s someone who was shown early on to know that snatching people from other universes causes them to painfully disintegrate, but at no point does she bother to tell Fisk this. ‘Cause she has (unspoken within the movie) motives outside of Fisk wanting his family back.

So she’s totally down with Fisk seeing his family die in front of him again (and again, and again) as long as it fits with her own goals..

I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT. 

He essentially bankrolled her entire project to steal his family from some alternate universe and Liv, knowing damn well they’d eventually disintegrate in this universe, was like “Yep, I’ll do my best, thank so much for your contribution”

cold fucking blooded.

I assume her motives are more or less “SCIENCE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!”

So in the past few years I’ve seen so many videos / posts that are like:

“Actually wolves don’t have hierarchies!  They live in family groups where the ‘alphas’ are mom and dad and the other wolves are their CHILDREN and offer their respect willingly! :D”

and I just have to say

how dare you try to make normative nuclear families out of wolves

Yes, a lot of the old “nature red in tooth and claw” stuff about wolves is nonsense. (Like anything from Jack London.) And anything ‘alpha’ you see sleazy men trying to relate to dating (yikes!) is especially nonsense.

But wolves are complex social creatures and they create complex social structures. Just as you can’t say “THIS is the way human society is structured. Just THIS single way and no other”, so too there is no single form for a wolf pack.  

Some packs are a mom wolf and a dad wolf and their wolf children.  Others are two small ragged packs that combine to form a large pack.  Others are packs where a lone wolf joins and eventually becomes a leader. Others are packs where a grown child-wolf has pushed their parent out of the leadership role.

Speaking of the latter, let’s look at the tale of Wolf 40 and Wolf 42.

Wolf 40, Wolf 41, and Wolf 42 were wild Yellowstone wolves, daughters of the alphas. Their father was illegally killed by hunters and shortly after ambitious Wolf 40 ousted her mother, driving her out of the pack.  Wolf 21 became the new alpha male, and 40′s mate.

image

Wolves have personalities, and Wolf 40′s personality was “volatile”.  Imagine Scar from The Lion King combined with the boss from Office Space, and you have Wolf 40.  She habitually bullied the other female wolves, attacking them until they expressed abject submission.  And the wolves that got the worst of it were her sisters, Wolves 41 and 42.

Wolf 41 got tired of the bullying and left.  Wolf 42 remained, perhaps because she was close to Wolf 21, the alpha male.  Despite that, Wolf 21 did not interfere when his mate harassed Wolf 42.

Unlike 40, Wolf 42 got along well with the other female wolves, spending time grooming them and relaxing with them. Wolf 40 could have followed her sister’s example and built up positive social bonds. But she didn’t.

One day, Wolf 40 went out on an important task.  She was going to kill another litter of her sister’s pups–having done the same in two previous years.  This isn’t uncommon wolf behavior (but is not universal, as we will see.)  Typically only the alphas breed.

However, Wolf 40 never returned from her important task because Wolf 42–who previously had submitted to her alpha and sister, who had allowed the killing of two previous litters of pups–had had enough.  She fought back.

And the other female wolves jumped to aid her.

Collectively, they killed Wolf 40. Because “alpha” isn’t a magic cloak of protection, it doesn’t even mean “strongest wolf”, it’s just a job title.

The next day Wolf 42 carried her pups, one by one, to her sister’s den.  She set her children among the pups of her dead sister and raised both litters together. And when another wolf in the pack had pups, Wolf 42 carried them to the den to be communally raised as well.  She was the alpha female now and she made the rules, and the first rule was “we don’t hurt pups here.”

As for Wolf 21, he became the mate of Wolf 42.  Maybe he understood that Wolf 40 had been riding for a fall. 

image

As alpha female, Wolf 42 continued to be supportive and kind towards the other pack members.  Wolves who had been nervous wrecks under Wolf 40 began to relax and come into their own; one of the former omega wolves gained self-confidence and became one of the best hunters.

“Alpha”, for wolves, just means leader.  They might be good leaders, whom you respect, or they might be bad leaders, who fill you with dread.  They might be your parents, or they might not.  Even if they are your mother or father, wolves don’t contextualize those relationships the same way humans do.

But one thing wolves have in common with humans is that they have individual personalities and experiences, and their actions derive from those.  There is no “typical wolf pack.” And I think that’s beautiful.

If you want to learn more about wild wolf dynamics, I recommend reading the annual Yellowstone Wolf Project Reports.  Which are FASCINATING.  There are also some good wildlife specials out there.

Wolves are my favorite animal. <3  It pains me to see them misunderstood as crazed bloodthirsty brutes, but it also pains me to see them woobified.  They deserve better than that.

Ye gods this. I mean, this is the human tendency, right: people like Simple Fable Stories, so when the Brutal Wolfpack is Universal story got rightfully questioned, there was this impulse to replace it with Perfect Family story. 

And sure a lot of packs - especially these days, when the territory is chunked up by human development and all that jazz - will be relatively small and tend to aggregate around a fertile couple … but that’s just a tendency, because, well, that’s a convenient and consistent reason for wolves to stay together. There are a lot of other reasons for wolves to stay together. 

There are also behavioural trends and expectations literally passed on from one generation to the next, because wolves learn how to be wolves from their parents, just like every other relatively complex creature with a parenting trend. That’s not just in teaching them how to hunt, but also how to relate to each other; how to behave. Wolf parents (and other adult and semi-adult members of the pack) socialize cubs in particular ways, and it’s interesting to imagine what kind of impression 42 left on the wolves in that area vs what 40 was working up.

What I find hilarious is, that they are communicating completely different things.

Goats butt heads. It’s not exactly aggression, but it’s always relevant to dominance. That goat is trying very hard to start a fight.

But to the horse, this is a gentle “hello” kind of head bump, and the horse is trying to be polite and return the gesture.

Big “I can take you! I can take you!” vibe here. (And the horse going “YOU ARE SO CUTE, LET’S BE FRIENDS!”) (…chortle)

GOAT: Bro! Bro! Come at me, bro!
HORSE: We are so different yet he hails me as a brother and beseecheth me to approach in friendship. I love him.
