well first off gorillaz is officially a part of gay culture so jot that down

Care to explain at least?

Its honestly really simple im gay and i like gorillaz

here listen to this dumb joke

#You fuckin son of a bitch idiot. You suck. Go away. I liked it better when you were gone and not here.

Quiz time: Would you rather fight a yaoi fetishist who produces/consumes content exclusively of waifish seme/uke character dynamics and makes jokes about being a “filthy sinner for my gayz” or would you rather fight a stringent hetshipper who thinks that making LGBT headcanons about their favs is offensive to them personally and wants to know why, like, you have to make everything about sexuality :/ 

Notes:

ive got two fists

having an advanced sense of rhythm based off of a single song means their attack patterns would follow that song alone, and be easy to predict

that said the ideal course of action is to introduce the yaoi fetishist to a ship involving the male half of the hetshipper’s otp and sit back as they tear each other apart. This expends minimal effort on your behalf and destroys both your enemies

Also just imagine this little fluffball running up to thier trainer “Mom, I need brushies and I need them now!”

Adding my own thoughts on the “Earth is Space Australia” idea floating around, I’m imagining some aliens finding an *absolute* death world, scorching hot, every single species of fauna is venomous, most of the flora is poisonous too, there’s barely any water… they think to themselves “okay, this time we’ve got it. We’ll finally stump the humans. This is a world they can’t possibly think to inhabit”. So they take it to the human colony bureau or whatever and a human stares at their report for a long while, “hmms” a lot, and then after a long moment goes,

“Send the Australians.”

just because you don’t look like somebody who you think is attractive doesn’t mean you aren’t attractive. flowers are pretty but so are christmas lights and they look nothing alike

I don’t think anyone could’ve said it in a better way

I reblog these things in the hope that someday I will grow to believe them. 

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job. 

given that i know a couple of the people involved in the 2013 paper that introduced this idea, i need to get at a part of this post. it’s using that old tumblr favorite narrative where dumb “scientists” are absolutely baffled by something until a smart person with practical skills (i.e., not like that worthless egghead academic knowledge) comes along and sets them straight, story implies the tool or practice is identical to exactly what we do now, etc. there are a couple of cases where that totally happened and was awesome (like that history of roman hair-dressing thing), but as far as i can tell or have heard no traditional leatherworkers were involved in this project. tools for working with leather, bone and otherwise, have been a part of archaeological collections spanning large chunks of human history - they didn’t need to show this tool to a leatherworker to recognize that, because some of the scientists involved are archaeologists and part of their goddamn life’s work is being able to recognize tools and what they are used for. 

more than that, a post like this actually misses the actually cool take-away message from the paper. namely, that neanderthals are a whole different species from us and there is a decent chance that this kind of leather-working tool (and how knows how much leather-working technique) may have actually been created by another species and then passed over to us in a process of cross-species cultural transmission. when you pair that with the growing evidence for interbreeding and us receiving part of our genome from neanderthals, it builds a cool picture of late neanderthals and early humans co-existing and integrating. 

Last I checked, neanderthals being a ‘different species’ was still incredibly controversial, but reblogging for commentary about tumblr narratives and archaeology

To which controversy are you referring? They’re taxonomically and genetically distinct.  There’s research that seems to show that neanderthal/human male hybrids were infertile.  Even just googling it after I read what you said and went “Hrm? What?” turned up very little showing that this is a serious debate.  Granted I don’t have the time right now to do a huge extensive search, but the only thing I found in favor of them being human was a creationist website.  Everything else was like “yeah, so…genetics shows they definitely weren’t a sub-species”.  Is there something legit out there that says otherwise? 

Granted, this was probably a little more controversial when I was doing my undergrad, and the Neanderthal Genome Project stuff was just coming out (at the time, the evidence of Neanderthal DNA in AMHS was seen as a strong confirmation that the two groups met the definition for a single species under the Biological Species Concept), but like, this article https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2014/02/04/were-neanderthals-a-different-species/ Which you almost certainly read during your cursory search; says that it’s still controversial. Like, there’s some evidence that some hybrids might have been infertile, but there’s also definitely evidence of admixture, meaning there was evidence of fertile hybrids…there are taxonomical differences, but determining species by taxonomy alone is always sketchy…and there’s an argument to be made for an ecological species concept, but that would require a lot of data that we don’t have. When it comes down to it, the definition of “species” is pretty fuzzy, and Neanderthals/AMHS appear to be kind of an edge case. It’s also very important to remember the political history here, and that there has always been a strong urge to categorize Neanderthals as “inhuman” non-ancestors of Europeans (in favour of frauds like Piltdown man, for example) due to their perceived primitivism. PLUS there’s a whole thing where anti-racists became highly opposed to multiregionalism for reasons which were in part political, which muddies the water even more. My overall point is that the fact there was cultural exchange between AMHS from Africa and Neanderthals isn’t cool solely “because they were different species”, since their level of interaction and cultural exchange is actually a datapoint in an ongoing debate about whether or not they should be considered different species in the first place. –Peter
