My favorite examples of how crazy genetics can be is with twins 

I love genetics. Biology is a trip

This is always so cool.

I love tumblr because i can see there are over 17k notes on a post that references one of my incredibly specific interests. Like, there is a niche of people who are really pleased by the existence of “Nonidentical twins of mixed race who reflect different parts of their heritage but still look really similar to each other” and we are all in it together going YEAH LOOK AT THESE GUYS! THEY’RE BROTHERS AND SISTERS! YEAH THEY ARE! YEAH!!!!

don’t think this rap talk means i’ve taken my eyes off of rafah.

"Famine is a useful word when you do not wish to use words like 'genocide' and 'extermination'."

many student bail funds have hit their goals and student organizers are asking people to redirect their money to gaza aid efforts and people whose lives are in immediate jeopardy. donate to help a young doctor from al-shifa hospital make it safely to egypt

Saying that a 36 year old group has an “ancient desire” to do anything makes it like.. abundantly clear that he’s not actually talking about Hamas, but instead is using the word much in the way genocidal Israeli officials use it as a stand-in for Gazans/Palestinians as a whole if not as a stand in for Arabs/Muslims in general, and as justification for their mass-slaughter. Biden is not simply some passive enabler of this genocide, he is an active participant on the consent-manufacturing propaganda frontlines and actively funding the carrying out of it. Joe Biden is a rabid dog etc.

There is always endless money for war...

Rapper Macklemore is releasing a track called “Hind’s Hall”, speaking out on the genocide of Palestinians, and the United States complacency in this ongoing violence. Macklemore has stated that once the track drops on streaming, all proceeds from streams will be going directly to UNRWA— the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

The new tracks namesake Hind’s Hall echoes the honours that Columbia University encampment protestors bestowed the Morningside Heights campus’ Hamilton Hall— in memory of Hind Rajab, the 6 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza who was shot by Israeli soldiers after being trapped inside a vehicle, with her dead family. She had begged to be rescued as tanks closed in on her.

Macklemore using his platform to vehemently speak out against genocide, the Israeli occupation and United States-led violence is what every single artist should be doing right now. The power of art should not be underestimated. Macklemore started out in the Hip-Hop scene within communist circles, namely working alongside Blue Scholars, and has never neglected his Leftism through out his career: the artist has spoken on issues regarding mental health, addiction, racial profiling and police violence, Capitalism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights and toxicity of American culture.

Oh my god???????

I hate these people so fucking much. Our country is crumbling in literally every way - infrastructure, childcare, schools, healthcare and hospitals, etc and we're in one of the biggest cost of living increases ever homelessness is increasing and will continue. Covid is still a thing. But no this is what they're spending our hard earned tax dollars that make up their salary for

honestly? i think more people should be disillusioned with pop culture at this point

like the met gala has got to be one of the most blatant displays of wealth this culture has... $75k for entrance and $350k for a table? an after party with private performances? the way so many people still marvel at this event is baffling to me... i want this culture to die so bad
