ive seen people giving tumblr shit for commodifying our jokes and memes and trying to sell them back to us but in my opinion i think they deserve more shit over it

i dont want it to be normalized i dont want people to get desensitized to it. they’re straight up lifting content produced by the userbase and putting a price tag on it we cant let that become seen as okay

On this day, 21 March 1937, the Ponce massacre occurred when police killed 19 people on a peaceful demonstration and wounded hundreds in Puerto Rico. They were marching for the release of imprisoned separatist leader Albizu Campos. Police acted on the orders of the US-appointed governors, and after the murders staged photos with a press photographer to try to claim self defence.

🚨 New research alert! Carnivores typically have forward-facing eye sockets to ensure stereoscopic (3D) vision—an important trait for judging the position of prey during hunting. But the “marsupial sabertooth” Thylacosmilus had wide-set eyes and laterally facing sockets, adaptations seen more often in herbivores than meat-eaters. So how could it maintain an estimated diet of 70 percent meat?

A team of researchers, including Museum scientist Ross MacPhee, think special adaptations allowed Thylacosmilus to see in 3D despite its unusual anatomy. Using CT scanning and 3D virtual reconstructions, they’ve compared this predator’s visual system to those of modern and extinct carnivores.
