New weird horse just dropped, folks.
A spotless giraffe was recently born at Bright’s Zoo in Limestone, TN and was just announced in the media this morning. They’re starting a public naming contest for her, of course.

I’d love to know what type of mutation causes this lack of of pattern, but I don’t know if we have genetics on that for giraffes the way we do other species. As far as is known, she’s the first spotless giraffe ever documented!
Love often is treated like a transaction. Someone loves you and you are expected to love them back. Truth be told you are not required to love them back. This includes friends and family. Love is not something you owe in any relationship. Period.
Does it suck to know someone doesn't feel the same way as you? Yes, of course it does. But it's not a personal attack if they dont. They don't owe it to you matter who you are or what you've done.
Love is not and should not be mandatory. Love does not = caring for people. You can care about people without love.
detransition isn't a mark of failure, it's one that shows you were willing to take a huge step to figure out who you are, and you came out the other side learning something from your experience. it's more important to find that out than to spend the rest of your life wondering, and not knowing
"going out would be more fun if it sucked ass"
i think this would be very enjoyable and enriching for a pet 1980s businessman, or Jerma
My university’s student bar did this at the end of our term, it was called “stocks and shares night” and it was fucking spectacular.
Every tv was set up with screens listing the prices, and it would update with every sale, and the goal was to clear out the bars stock by the end of the night.
It wasn’t just beer, it was every spirit, wine and cider they had in stock. It was beautiful chaos. You’d start off ordering rank shit you’d never had before (tequila rose wtf) and within an hour you had groups working together to strategically tank or raise prices.
At one point everyone had stopped ordering jäger until It was like 50p a shot and then one person would go up and order 30 shots for £15, thus triggering it skyrocketing to £3 a shot. Ive never seen such impressive organisation and teamwork in a bar before. I have never had a worse hangover in my life.

self proclaimed leftists with entire graduate degrees on twitter not understanding that tourism in places like latin america and the caribbean is a form of neocolonialism even in places where the national economy is dependent on it. just because the government is making money off of ur lil excursions and hotel stays doesn’t mean regular citizens are, especially in your fave ‘tropical getaway spots’. the fact that sandals wanted to build an entire resort in tobago where my family lives might sound great for the economy or whatever until you realize that they would’ve closed off several acres of land and made it inaccessible to non-tourists which is fucking insane thing to even propose on such a small island. like i’m sorry but do you really think my family is grateful when you crackers come to visit during the winter?? do you really think your presence adds value to their lives?? when the govt invests money in ports but not paving the fucking roads anywhere that’s not downtown/vacation home territory?? you white losers need to put down ur marx for like half a sec and pick up a small place by jamaica kincaid. like lol if you wanna be a tourist be a tourist but don’t fucking act like anyone who refers to it as a contemporary form of colonialism is doing too much. ESPECIALLY when this sentiment is legit coming directly from the people living in the getaways you love to visit. i genuinely don’t understand how y’all can grasp the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” shit but can’t understand this.
tourists visit a place where the livelihoods of the 5% of the population they actually interact with are dependent on how well they’re able to kiss their asses and make them feel like they’re the most important people in the world and somehow they genuinely believe that this translates to all of the locals actually liking, respecting, and needing them.
