Vivid Hummingbird Close-ups Reveal Their Incredible Beauty
When it comes to birds, the terms “strong” or “beautiful” might inspire images of fierce eagles or decadent tropical parrots. But both of these birds will certainly find strong contender in hummingbirds, which possess a unique sort of delicate beauty and a mastery of avian maneuvers like no other. We created this list of 20 stunning hummingbird photos to show you just how beautiful they can be.
Capturing a photo of a hummingbird in flight with clearly focused wings can be very difficult, as some varieties are capable of beating their wings up to 52 times a second. This gives them the ability to hover and fly backwards – something that few other birds can do and that none have mastered the way the hummingbird has. via Boredpanda

My favorite part is how the machinery is louder than the actual sound
I used to wonder, how could these men – fancying themselves profound and in-on Truth – possibly call “humans” violent when they are technically the source?
But I guess that’s what happens when the only people you consider humans are other men. — Alicen Grey (via ourwildways)

full offense, evolutionary psychologists are by far some of the most idiotic people to ever walk this earth.
#you could shove facts in their face about things like women have historically been forced to marry men for money #because women could not have money or land of their own so basically they had to marry or die #and evo psychs will just be like ‘hm no women are just wired to be gold diggers and biologically women are shallow money hungry leeches’ #evo psychs are quite literally just a group of racists & misogynists trying to bring back 19th century racism & sexism
!!!!!!
Evolutionary psychology is the phrenology of the 21st century. It’s entirely informed by a set of modern presumptions and projects these concepts onto humans from the evolutionary get-go right up to the industrial revolution. It starts with conclusions and interprets conditions to support them. It’s an inherently reactionary reverse-science, so no wonder it attracts the kind of people it does.

Your girl: (sincerely, with a warm smile reveling whitened teeth) I’m voting for Bernie Sanders
Me: (through 7.5 layers of irony, with a wavering scowl reveling decaying teeth and bleeding gums, shreds of bogus demilitarization policy on my tongue) I’m voting for Bernie Sanders

Most commoner bats that do not enjoy the city life, nor the farming life, choose the get right down to closest parts of nature. Living in a tree is beneficial to them: they get to be comfy with their favourite part of the world, and the rest of us will never be bothered by / bother them.
Commoners of these sorts are essentially hermits, and they usually live in such a place to focus their magic, or to practice alchemy safely with ingredients close-by.
The “house” of these commoners is usually about 2 to 3 feet in size, and is usually nest-like: a bundle of cloth and soft materials inside for insulation, and to sleep easier. Food is usually gotten by trading with local villagers or farmers, in return for the things that these commoners find. At night, some of these commoners claim they see very magical things in the deepest parts of woods, such as fireflies dancing by fairy circles, or the sky changing colours. If this is true, we cannot confirm.
