People who racially fetishize for the sole purpose of playing genetic build-a-baby need some help.
It’s okay to fall in love with a person and hope your future child inherits some of your lover’s fondest traits, but JFC, don’t just select people based on physicality so you can genetically engineer a person that lives up to your creepy ass racial fantasies. This isn’t a puppy farm.
Update:
Not a huge fan of doing this with puppies either, as most purebred doggos seem to have more defects and troubles later in life. So yeah.
High-key sideeyeing Emma Stone said that that the Best Director nominees are four men and Greta Gerwig. When will white feminists learn that, just because they are not women, doesn’t mean that Jordan Peele and Guillermo Del Toro’s nominations are not as meaningful as Greta Gerwig’s?
And what was the first thing that Guillermo Del Toro said in his acceptance speech? He highlighted that he was an immigrant and a person of color.
A friendly fox in Pripyat, Chernobyl exclusion zone
*happy cheerful music as fox plays in deserted nuclear radiation land*
This is the aesthetic
Fun facts about the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone:
1) Most of it is pretty safe, even for long periods of time. In fact about 200 native people still live there, but no new settlement is allowed, so that number has declined from about 1200 after the zone was created in 1986.
2)The zone has become an unintentional animal reserve. Its ~1000 square miles of uninhabited forest. Poaching happens, but not to the degree one might expect due to the fear of radiation. Also as a consequence there are lots of human friendly animals like this fox. Most of the humans they do see are tourists that regularly feed them.
3) Its one big science experiment on post human occupation, environmental contamination, and radioactive degradation. Weve actually learned a hell of a lot about what would happen to a city after everyone leaves and how nature takes back over thanks to the city of Pripyat. And how the environment adapts to sudden changes and evolves. A fungus was desvovered in and around the Chernobyl Disaster Site that creates chemical energy out gamma radiation emitted from the melted down core. Something biologists had only theorized as even possible a few years ago, and heres this fungus feeding on it. Its crazy man!
^^ i was literally thinking about if nature and wild life had taken back over the area
Adorable fox + interesting science, 10/10
Radiation eating fungus.
We all gotta die, and I feel good knowing that the world has the ablility to heal itself.
