y'all know that whole left-brained/right-brained thing is fake right? and the "brain fully develops at age 25" thing? and the "we only use 10% of our brains" thing? yeah they're all complete horseshit please yell at anyone who says them

okay people are doing nuance in the notes about the kernels of truth in neuroscience myths but I really really need you to understand that that is not important here. people don't believe there are "right-brained" and "left-brained" people because they've misunderstood lateralisation of the central nervous system, they believe it because that binary framework was deliberately pushed by people who wanted to define who was logical enough to lead, and surprise surprise, white adult heterosexual men are left-brained. people don't believe the brain "finishes developing at 25" because they've misunderstood life stage differences in neuroplasticity, they believe it because the idea that children, teens, and young adults have inferior brains is a convenient rationalisation for a society that marginalises them. people don't believe you "only use 10% of your brain" because they misread an fMRI study, they believe it because it's useful bullshit for everyone from hyperindividualist historical revisionists pushing the great genius concept of scientific progress to hucksters recruiting for cults that will teach you to unlock your latent telekinesis for just $5000 a month. that's why it's fucking important to know that many popular science ideas are false and to push back on them loudly and frequently, because they're not just mildly incorrect, they are often active components of systems of violence.

i love chimpingway

You're all sleeping on u/chimpingway's other posts

I drew this stupid burger I saw that brings me comfort and joy

‘Tis ween my fellows!!

stop normalizing the grind and normalize whatever this is

I stumbled across these photos while I was looking for information about leafcutter bees, and I just wanted to share them, because they're really remarkable. The images were captured by an amateur photographer named Laurence Sanders, and they depict an unprecedented scene that garnered the attention of both entomologists and arachnologists.

The photos show a leafcutter bee and a wolfspider living in the same burrow.

The leafcutter bee (Megachile macularis) can be seen fetching freshly-cut leaves, which she'll use to line the inner walls of her nest, while the wolfspider sits at the entryway to the burrow; as the bee approaches, the wolfspider moves aside, allowing her to enter the nest, and then she simply watches as the leaf is positioned along the inner wall.

Once the leaf is in position, the bee and the spider seem to inspect the nest together, sitting side-by-side in the entryway. The leafcutter bee seems strangely at ease in the presence of the wolfspider, which is normally a voracious predator, and the wolfspider seems equally unfazed by the fact that it shares its burrow with an enormous stinging insect.

The man who took these photographs discovered the peculiar scene by accident, and he then captured a series of images over the course of about two days (these are just a few of the photos that were taken). During that two-day period, the bee was seen entering the nest with bits of foliage dozens of times, gradually constructing the walls and brood chambers of its nest, and the spider was clearly occupying the same burrow, but they did not exhibit any signs of aggression toward one another.

The photos have been examined by various entomologists and arachnologists, and those experts seem ubiquitously surprised by the behavior that these images depict. The curator of entomology at Victoria Museum, Dr. Ken Walker, noted that this may be the very first time that this behavior has ever been documented, while Dr. Robert Raven, an arachnid expert at the Queensland Museum, described it as a "bizarre" situation.

This arrangement is completely unheard of, and the photos are truly remarkable.

in order to unlearn racism u have to be willing to accept that u are racist. it’s not a bad thing to want to change for the better. it’s not a bad thing to say hey, the way i’ve been acting is racist and i don’t want to be racist anymore. when people of color are telling u ways in which u have been racist, it’s actually not cool to brush it off and say, well i didn’t mean it that way.. u actually have to make an effort to stop doing those things if u want to be able to actually say ur anti-racist. u can’t just say ur not racist because u don’t wanna be seen as racist. that’s not how unlearning racism works.

“um i’m actually a good person so calling me racist couldn’t possibly be true. ur just attacking me!” see how the racism is literally right there? see how ur just seconds away from calling me an angry black girl?

I literally reblogged this a day ago and OP was still up. This shit is entirely unacceptable fucking hell.

Whether this was a mass report until OP got auto-modded or a racist mod terminating OP with prejudice, any Black person who speaks up on racism instead of just grinning and bearing it still risks getting nuked from fucking orbit in this shithole.

Take what OP said to heart and do away with your white fragility.

Hi. I'm a black girl with a platform here on Tumblr and I'm here to stand the fuck up for the person who got terminated and back up what she said with my full ass army of supporters.

Being anti racist is an ACTIVE process filled with CONSTANTLY facing stuff that you and your friends and your family do that's racist.

I recently met a friend here in Norway (FINALLY!) She's cool as fuck and so far hasn't done anything openly racist as far as I've seen.

But

Every time I tell her how I'm treated on a daily basis she is SHOCKED

And unfortunately that's a part of the racist world we live in too. Most the people surrounding me have a tendency to ignore me when I need help and all of them have a tendency to act shocked when I don't get the help I need. It's always a bad time or a bad favor. Something they can't do or can't do right now.

I'm talking to you, Nanna, and Nils. I'm talking to you Steffen, Sondre, Synnøve, and Sofie.

People who have ignored me, stolen from me, lied to me, gotten my hopes up only to ghost me, hidden behind "send me an email" and never replied. People who first complimented me, connected with me, but then vanished before we could actually start to get close

Black people around the globe are dealing with this shit.

And when you all start to understand that YOU are doing it, it's a lot easier to accept that your friends are also doing it. It's a lot easier to not be shocked. If you are capable of racism, everyone else is too. And guess what? You are. And guess what? Everyone else is too.

If EACH and EVERY one of us goes to war against our internal biases we can get past them. Stop pretending you are a "good person"

Just be a fucking PERSON and leave the GOOD for the improvements you will continue to make for the rest of your life

Because that's how long it will take. We all need to improve. Every one of us. Forever.

Pretending that you're "good" just means you don't have to do anything. That's how racism sits and breeds and continues. Don't let racism be comfortable with you. Challenge yourself to answer that fucking email. Send that fucking text. Invite that fucking person to your house and don't tell that racist fucking joke because it's not funny. Bring them for Thanksgiving. Break bread with people who don't look like you, act like you, think like you, or believe the things you do. And keep doing that forever

THAT'S how you beat racism. Not by being a "good person"

Get rid of the "good person" narrative. We're all just people trying our best. We get better. We persevere. We help each other.

Leucistic Loon on a remote lake in British Columbia, Canada.

Photographer: Chris Whitty

[id: three photos of a leucistic common loon landing on and swimming along the surface of a pond. it has the shape and markings of a normal common loon, only it lacks most of the normal pigments that would give the usual black coloration. thus, it is mostly white, but still has a striped band around its neck, black eyes, a black beak, and spots on its back in shades of light grey. /end id.]
