i hope some day someone refers to me as charismatic megafauna
While I totally agree with the fact that dolphins are pretty aggressive sometimes, I’m going to be that Fun At Parties lady here about a pet peeve of mine: dolphins do not rape each other, nor do they “take hostages” or do other criminal things.
Intellectually, I know that is fucking terrifying. And yet I am laughing.
I read that he actually was the president of the University of Louisiana. So I’d think he’d emphasize with the educators of the school system in the state. Someone wrote online that the problem with him, was although he was so accomplished by the time he was 32 (great schools, jobs, etc.) that he spent so little time…
I got into marine science/ecology because of dolphins, originally. Of course, I ended up with scallops and water chemistry, because .01% of marine biologists actually end up working with charismatic megafauna.
This! I’m originally from Louisiana (but live in Texas now — which isn’t necessarily much better) and am disgusted by what he’s done to the state. My deceased dad was a state employee, and my mom receives his state employee retiree benefits, which have been dwindling since Jindal came into power. I blame all the…
That’s what the most enraging about that slogan. As someone from Louisiana (who recently moved because my higher ed job got cut thanks to his brutal gutting of public college budgets), his state is in complete budgetary crisis. He gutted and privitized popular social programs and cut taxes saying it would benefit the…
Just to clarify, he’s clearly an idiot who has no chance of being President.
Thanks for remembering Native Americans.
Well if it’s what you’re mostly, right now I am a proud Guacamole-American (no peas)
Idiots are people two!
He is an Idiot-American.
I’m done with all this talk about hyphenated Americans. We are not Indian-Americans, Irish-Americans, African-Americans, rich Americans, or poor Americans - we are all Americans*
You may want to look into the history of Jews in France and / or revise your post. Joan of Arc’s entire lifespan happens to take place after Jews were expelled from France in 1394.
I wrote a lot about Joan when I was doing my master’s degree, and I think her “empty vessel” status always infuriated me for no good reason. Fuck you, Front National, Jeanne d’Arc would have wanted nothing to do with you! For all I know, she totally would have, but it was this irrational, from the gut reaction that…
yeah- her death was gruesome. no matter what she might have done, her murder was awful. Don’t need to be Catholic to recognize that.
Can you provide a source for this? I’m not disputing it, it’s just that I don’t know anything about it.
Just fascinating. I visited the tower in which she was held and tried in Rouen, and it’s grotesque to imagine her in that space, with these godly men poking at and torturing and then killing a teenaged girl.
