On April 13, 1985, Danuta Danielsson - a Jewish-Polish woman whose mother was taken to a concentration camp in WWII - hit a local neonazi with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden.

Update: The neonazis were subsequently expelled from the city, and a statue was erected in her honor.

This week 34 years ago, Danuta Danielsson demonstrated how much respect fascists deserve.

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

These

are more genetically compatible than These

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

@aviculor

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate. 

This

And this

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

these

are genetically closer than these

and…

these

are genetically closer than these

and my personal favorite, it really fucks with people…

these

are more genetically similar than these

It’s the circle where people pretend the American Dream is real so want the aesthetic that shows they worked their way out

so when i was a teenager, i was homeless, and also did a lot of activism surrounding the issue of homelessness among queer youth. occasionally some newspaper or magazine etc would do an article about this activism.

there was one time that stands out to me in particular because a fashion magazine had done an interview with me and subsequently sent folks to do a photoshoot to accompany the article. they had a stylist they sent down to select clothes for the photo shoot who, i am dead serious, was picking out clothing they thought fit The Homeless Teenager Aesthetic. artfully pre torn and frayed $250 jeans (studded, for extra Edge, with a skull design. in rhinestones.) a $70 tank top with Graffiti Print Design. (the clothes did, in fact, still all have price tags on; i gathered they had some sort of policy around keeping them in Like New condition for… return? reuse on different photoshoots? i wasn’t really clear on what happened after they had served out their life making real homeless teenagers look fake homeless.)

i tried explaining that this was Kind Of Silly and didn’t actually look anything like the clothes i wore, since what with the homelessness and it being chicago and, uh, cold, i preferred my clothes as hole-free as possible for as long as possible in order to be alive.

but they were very insistent. people will expect you to look the part.

and, you know… subsequently go out and buy the expensive clothing that tells them exactly how to look the part, from the comfort of their cushy homes.

@kingofthewilderwest

I really do love that people have legitimately always just been people. Like how many angry breakup texts have their been that end with “Come get your stuff or I’m donating it to goodwill”? People never change.

“Come pick up your shawls and sandals” I’m dead
