Hi All! I’m looking for people to participate in season 2 of #thebookexchange. 📚

You can be anywhere in the world. All you have to do is buy your favourite book (just one) and send it to a stranger (I’ll send their details in a private message). Book Depository have great free shipping options btw.

They’ll be favourite books from strangers around the world!

If you are interested in taking part message me and i’ll get the details over.

I’d love it if people took part, just to send a book to someone and make their day in what has been a crappy few months!

Yesterday my mom, my 5 year old nephew and i were hanging out, and my mom kept constantly using female pronouns and calling me by my birth-name. 

finally my nephew interrupted her to say, 

“He wants to be called Ben. He’s a boy now. You can’t call him a girl if he’s a boy.” 

and right after that, she started using my pronouns and name correctly. i guess it kind of hits you hard when a 5 year old child calls you out, cause anytime i’d try to correct her she’d keep making the excuse, “It’s hard, I’m trying.” 

i am so proud of my nephew, i shit you not.

YES! on the fourth of July, my 8 year old cousin followed me around and everytime someone called me by my birth name, she whispered “Ben” behind me.

When I went home for my birthday this past week, my parents were using the right name/calling me Ben but using the wrong pronouns. When I gently reminded them of my pronouns, my step dad was incredibly defensive and yelled at me and said not to bring it up. The next day, (my actual birthday), I was alone with my 14 year old brother. I told him I was bummed, told him the story and asked if he wouldn’t mind trying to use the correct pronouns around our family to lead by example/encourage them. He was like yeah no problem dude! Layer that night, my mom used the wrong pronouns and my brother responded with “yeah, I think he would like that.” And looked at me and smiled and my mom responded using the correct pronouns.

This trickle down education bullshit clearly does not work. Younger kids are so eager to understand and accept things, and it makes so much more sense for kids to be taught and go on to educate their parents.

Okay but your little cousin following you to correct people when they say the wrong name is freaking adorable.

T'challa pointing to every single bird and asking Sam “are you related?”

sam and scott walking around nyc, sam points to an ant and asks “do you know this one?” and scott replies “yes actually. that’s antwanette.”

Scott pounding furiously on Peter’s door in the middle of the night because a spider ate Antwanette

We don’t say this often enough (though I think most of us know it) but men who can’t write women are bad writers. It doesn’t matter how perfect their pacing is or how many awards they’ve been given by other men. If they have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of 51% of the world’s population, they are bad writers, and nothing they have to say about the human condition could possibly be valuable.

If a dude can do the research and tell you exactly what breed of goat his 12th century shepherd would have managed on the hills of whereverthefuck then he should be able to find out if breasts ‘swell in excitement’

The lyrebird from Australia can mimic virtually any sound that it hears, including children’s toys,chainsaws…. Crazy Amazing!

Have a good day everyone! 

Follow us !! 

This bird has 3 mods. Bird, monkey, raygun

The “monkey” sound is actually it mimicking the call of the laughing kookaburra, which is a bird.

What kills me is a couple of times after it does the camera shutter noise, it murmurs in what is clearly an imitation of a human speaking quietly. 

Play a lyrebird Kenku to maximise your mimicry potential.

my fave thing about this is that it’s switching mostly between magpie, kookaburra, whip-bird, and lorikeet calls when it’s not mimicking a camera and its cutting all its calls short too. this thing must be so fucking confusing for other birds to listen to

cool

So i work around these guys alot in the wild, theyre super timid but ive heard them imitate human speech, chainsaws and cars

Confession time; while I may have started making my girlfriend lunches purely because I love her there’s now a little bit of gay spite involved as well. I want the straight girls she works with to see what they’re missing and hold their men to higher standards.

Operation Gay Spite has claimed its first straight relationship! I’m not sure I’ve ever been prouder of anything in my life!

If making lunch broke them up it was never a good one in the first place

He gets it.

I’m genuinely curious how the lunches caused the breakup to happen, and I fully support the Gay Spite lunches

Literally since my bf saw this he’s started doing other things to model relationship goals for other guys. He’s always been lovely to me, but he’s made more of a point to show off the things we do for each other and raise people’s standards. He told his friend that we make dinner for each other every night and that guy went home and made his gf enchiladas. He posted about doing my laundry while I was at work (he does stuff like that all the time but usually isn’t public about it) and 2 other guys cleaned stuff up before their ladies came home.

Basically what I’m saying is that @solarpunkarchivist has started a chain reaction of straight people doing better and setting better examples and we appreciate it.
