Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School’s Twitter, Facebook and
Instagram accounts are on lockdown this morning after a video was posted
that shows a mob of students intimidating a Native American elder in
front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.
The all-male school was participating in a March for Life rally,
which coincided with the Indigenous People’s March. As shown in the
video, the students have surrounded a Native American man playing a drum
and are hooting war cries and mocking him. The elder’s name is Nathan
Phillips, a Vietnam veteran and an Omaha keeper of a sacred pipe.
One of the students gets very close to Phillips’ face and stares at
him with a disturbing grin for several minutes as Phillips sings and
beats the drum.
if you read in a frog paper “specimen was released in the field immediately after capture” chances are very good that what it actually means is
“i dropped the damn frog and despite the fact that we fell all over each other no one could recapture it”
sometimes when i am sad i go read through the tags on this post, because they are 70% other biologists saying things like “AND ALSO FUCK FIELD MICE” and “THAT CRAB ALMOST BROKE MY FINGER” and I am reassured that I am not the only one who has bobbled a wood frog right into their cleavage.
plus six or seven people who just….can’t figure out what a frog paper could possibly be. (guys it’s…a scientific paper. about frogs.)
and this one
which made me laugh despairingly because i mean
bro you don’t even know.
what is the code entomologists use for “i stepped on it, i’m so sorry, it was dark out and the specimen was very small”
“Impromptu dissection was performed under less-than-optimal lighting conditions.”
‘impromptu dissection’ is an alarming phrase in any context and i thank you for it
So if you’re looking for the chemical engineer equivalent of these posts the phrases are, “strongly exothermic” and “reacts vigorously.”
There were a lot of Baby-8′s around here when the movie was first released.
This family are spot on, though! Can anyone ID the cosplayers?
Victor Sine and his then-fiancee, Julianne Payne. They originally did their cosplay at a Salt Lake Comic-con event, and decided to use the photos for their engagement later. The pics went viral, and they used the HUGE positive reaction to their photoset to promote a go-fund-me account to help pay the costs of Victor officially adopting Julianne’s daughter Addie.
This photo isn’t up there, and it’s super-cute, so:
