Do you know how fucking HARD this is!? Turtles die of old age, naturally, that’s why they live so long. They rarely get sick and don’t have illnesses such as cancer or even the common cold, naturally occurring. So, for there to be turtle specific herpes……..it’s not a good sign.

This is really sad

So I googled this and apparently these turtles carry the herpes virus latently- that is theyre infected but they don’t have symptoms or problems. Stress is what causes these viruses to pop back up and lots of things cause stress. Even the wrong microbial environment can fuck this up. Human activity puts a huge amount of stress on these animals and their environment and as a result their immune system cannot keep the virus in check. We’re exhausting these animals into disease.

Holy Trinity Of Terrible Gay Narratives As Written By Straight People

bigskydreaming:

1) Straight best friends know a person is gay or bi before they know themselves, because CLEARLY that gay or bi person is just super slow on the uptake and their refusal to admit to themselves or others that they’re not straight has absolutely nothing to do with a toxic society doing everything in its power to make them feel they shouldn’t be.

2) The most homophobic bully or antagonist facing the gay or bi characters is actually gay or bi themselves, because didn’t you know, LGBTQ+ people are actually our own worst enemies, there’s really no such thing as homophobes who are homophobes because they’re just straight douchebags who hate people who aren’t like them.

3) No coming out narrative is complete without at least one scene where the gay or bi individual in question reassures their straight friends or family that it wasn’t that they waited this long to tell them cuz they didn’t trust them, because LOL why would this pivotal, life-changing, life-defining moment in a gay or bi character’s narrative be JUST about them when it could also be about the straight characters around them? Aren’t their feelings about this moment that will shape the entire rest of the gay/bi character’s life just as important here? 

Okay, so a little confusion on one of your reblogs, and I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way because it’s all just me being a little uneducated, but what exactly did Emma Watson do to be classified as a ‘white feminist’?

schursitcoms:

She’s a hypocrite. She critisized Beyoncé for “appealing to the male gaze“ because of the sexual nature of her Yoncé album, even though the album actually encouraged women to embrace their sexuality. Then she claimed it was wrong to criticize women for being sexual when there was backlash over her topless photoshoot.

I understand that Emma made that Beyoncé comment a while ago and her views and opinions may have changed by now, but the least she could do is apologize for what she said.

white feminism is not just

“theyve nearly got it right! just need to learn about intersectionality! just need to read some bell hooks”

it is literally violent, oppressive white supremacy. please stop with “well its better than nothing” – thats irrelevant – theres no point in exploiting and subjugating others in the path of your so-called “liberation”

liberation is not something that some people can have while others dont. thats just not how the revolutions gonna work!!!! boo fuckn hoo white fems
