By placing children at the centers of our orthodoxies and orthopraxies, we can reimagine world power structures in a way that liberates those children. source

My attempts to purge my possessions always seem to result in me rediscovering that I have lots of nice things, after which I lie happily on my hoard like a dragon. source

have y'all heard about the reproductive biology of honey bees. no, not the thing about the queen and everything. I mean how the males (drones) only exist to fly out and congregate at mysteriously determined locations in the sky in huge numbers, where they meet up with queens on their mating flights. And a drone can only have sex once, because when he mates with a queen, he essentially pops such a massive boner that it drains all the blood from his body, paralyzing him as the act rips his dick off killing him instantly.
The queen mates with a dozen or two drones on her mating flight (which is the only one she will ever take- she keeps the sperm from the drones alive in her body for the rest of her life, which can be several years). The next drone has to pull his fallen brother's severed dick out of the queen before he too can mate with her, meeting the same grisly fate and the cycle repeats. source
