how can you not believe in God when octopuses DREAM and otters have a favorite rock they carry around in a little SKIN POCKET and cows have BEST FRIENDS and bees are out there communicating the coordinates of flowers through INTERPRETIVE DANCE and they have REGIONAL DIALECTS??

cats are PURRING at frequencies associated with bone healing??? forests get absolutely incinerated and respond by growing FLOWERS??? dolphins literally invent NAMES for themselves and yell them across the ocean??? penguins are waddling around Antarctica looking for the PERFECT LITTLE ROCK to give their beloved???

CROWS REMEMBER YOUR FACE. THEY TELL OTHER CROWS ABOUT YOU. THEY TELL THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN HAVE GENERATIONAL BEEF WITH A BIRD.

goats have ACCENTS. rats GIGGLE when you tickle them. elephants mourn their dead. whales make SONGS and then OTHER WHALES LEARN THE SONG and suddenly everybody across the ocean is singing the new hit single.

monarch butterflies are born knowing how to fly thousands of miles to a place THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN. sea turtles hatch out of an egg, immediately sprint toward an OCEAN they have never seen, disappear into it for like THIRTY YEARS and then somehow come back to THE SAME BEACH???

birds can see COLORS THAT WE CANNOT SEE. there are colors happening RIGHT NOW that we don’t even get to know about.

there are sea slugs that eat algae and STEAL ITS CHLOROPLASTS and then are just like great thanks I’ll be PHOTOSYNTHESIZING NOW. there are mushrooms communicating underground. there are seeds sitting in the dirt for DECADES like no actually I will wait.

squirrels plant MILLIONS OF TREES because they simply cannot remember where they put their snacks.

A CATERPILLAR GOES INTO A LITTLE BAG, DISSOLVES MOST OF ITS BODY INTO ORGANIC SOUP, REARRANGES ITSELF, GROWS WINGS AND LEAVES.

and you’re telling me a tiny acorn knows how to become a 70-foot oak tree??? nobody tells it what to do??? it just has TREE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE IT???

your body started as ONE CELL. ONE. and that cell divided itself into a brain that can think about its own existence and eyes that can look at stars and hands that can hold somebody else’s hands and a heart that runs on ELECTRICITY without you even asking it to???

the iron in your BLOOD was made inside a STAR.

I’M SORRY?????

we are walking around on a wet rock covered in bioluminescent oceans and singing whales and laughing rats and birds holding lifelong grudges and flowers exploding out of FIRE and somehow we’re supposed to act like this is a normal place to live?????????

[LBark @franzsherbert]

Since this is weirdly popular I guess I'll post our other poems from yesterday. L me, R daughter

[elijah @user05129118741]

there goes the slippery slope

[🫠 @tachycardial]

ppl r kinda downplaying the impact of unregulated social media sites on the PH school shootings. the govt is stupid for pinning it solely on that instead of pushing for gun regulations but we never had school shootings until alt right grps started grooming kids online

[elijah @user05129118741]

this is so scary 😭 what is real anymore

[kemi @kemimarie]

it’s on newer iphones under “clean up” when you edit a pic. this is the photo with the cleanup background vs how many ppl were actually on that beach

@MichielDiender @skangle @mustafa_bozdgan @austrosillyism yes! american being synonymous with correct is definitely what i meant when i typed this out.

cheers 🥂

@vaudevillehook oh i would’ve lost it

[alexander the pretty good @vaudevillehook]

Today we did peer reviews for the first draft of our essays and I used “had had” correctly in mine but when I got it back one “had” had been crossed out and it filled me with rage

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

i love sentimental people. you see meaning everywhere? everything matters? you're absolutely right. it does. and we should cry about it.

[elijah @user05129118741]

@skangle @mustafa_bozdgan @austrosillyism it’s not incorrect. just american

[elijah @user05129118741]

“mass psychosis” y’all just say anything

[shan @seanshano]

Liza Soberano was right. Filipinos get mad when other Filipinos have high ambitions for themselves. Because what do you mean you are all mad at him for not taking a lowball offer 😭😭 Mass psychosis.

Bisaya should be introduced in the curriculum in Manila, and every region outside of Manila should have a separate class for their region's language, both grammar and literature.

You probably don't think this is grammatical, but it is:

"The boy the girl the cat bit scratched died."
