• To answer the 43 (literally) questions in my inbox asking me if raccoons are becoming domesticated:

    No. Raccoons are not becoming domesticated. They based that study off of the concept of “domestication syndrome,” which is a faulty study that proves nothing about domestication. This free peer reviewed article is a good summery about why.

    The people who conducted the study were mostly undergrads and nobody who participated in it at all had any actual experience with raccoons, as far as I’m aware.

    Nothing the study found had anything to do with domestication. All they found was that raccoons in urban areas have flatter faces. Which is still important and shows how raccoons are evolving to thrive in anthropogenic landscapes. But their faces are flatter so they can eat trash easier.

  • What I will add is this:

    These folks are acting like raccoons living in close proximity with humans is a relatively recent phenomenon. It isn’t. Yall, why do yall think multiple indigenous languages have their for raccoon meaning “little guy who is up to some shit with his hands?” Why have raccoons always been portrayed and trickster and thieves?


    Because that is literally their nature. They are showing signs of domestication they are simply raccoons.

  • like the way so many people talk about the ‘problems with poly relationships’ makes me feel bad for not only their monogamous partners but even their close friends and their damn kids, bc they’ll just be listing shit that comes down to emotional maturity and compassion everyone should be growing and exercising in EVERY relationship

  • like ‘i could never be poly because i’m such a jealous person lol! if my partner even looks at someone on the street i get pissed off!’

    cool, that sounds like a nightmare for your monogamous relationship also!

  • ’imagine having to prioritize multiple people at once 🙄’ and they have 2 kids

  • "They hate us all": True! A helpful reminder that assimilation will not save you.

    "They hate us all equally": False. An attempt to obscure the ways in which anti-queer policies are disproportionately targeted at trans women, especially trans women of color. A retread of that classic white feminist error of assuming all women have a "common oppression", which obscures race and class differences among women.

  • The fact that after the United States the countries with most mormons are Mexico, Brazil, Philippines, Peru and Chile makes me want to scream. Kill all missionaries now.

    Yeah, there are more mormons in Latin America in sheer numbers, but Oceania has bigger percentage per population. Tonga, Kiribati, both Samoas, Marshall Islands and Tahiti all have big percentages of mormon population. Kill all missionaries now.
