As an ex-animal welfare student I should watch the jurassic parks films and list every animal welfare violation I can find
Off the top of my head, the Indomunus Rex exhibit in Jurassic World is severely lacking in space, a human-sized entrance-exit, and a double-door system. All of those are very basic things every enclosure needs.
Not to mention the electric fence failure in Jurassic Park one. The fence had no backup power source and it was literally the only thing separating the dinosaurs from the visitors. At least use fences that can’t be ripped through by a t-rex’s teeth like scissors through paper. And add a freaking ditch, that’s such a normal thing in zoos.
The Jurassic Park franchise has never been a warning about bringing dinosaurs back, it was a warning about following basic fucking zoo and animal welfare guidelines.
having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.
i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it’s SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.
obviously a fucking BABY wouldn’t know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn’t get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.
i hate this feeling. it’s so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they’re learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they’re brand new. why didn’t i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it’s this easy?
If you can’t find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesn’t deserve such majesty anyway.
It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblog…
the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck
My mother has this wild ability to remember every plot detail of every show she’s seen (and she’s seen everything) but if you ask her to remember names it’s always a wild ride.
*any character not included was either too unrecognizable (all of ENT and the new shows), too familiar (most of TNG and TOS), or I forgot to include them.
*She said this was a cruel and unusual experiment and that she’d do better with Pokemon (not true).
