Mutualistic pairs for an “Odd Couples” Valentine’s program at my work. (Why do so many of my big work projects revolve around Valentine’s programs?)
Also, by “sea bugs,” I obviously meant “gnathiid isopod larvae.”


The himan one is not as good as the rest 

If you mean the mutualism between humans and honeyguides, I respectfully disagree. Human/honeyguide mutualism is one of the most sophisticated interspecies relationships in the animal kingdom.
While humans have domesticated many other animals for their labor, the honeyguide remains entirely wild while electing to partner up with humans. Both humans and honeyguides have each developed specific calls to signal to one another that they are on the hunt, and these calls greatly increase the likelihood of success. According to this paper:
The production of this sound increased the probability of being guided 
by a honeyguide from about 33 to 66% and the overall probability of thus
 finding a bees’ nest from 17 to 54%, as compared with other animal or 
human sounds of similar amplitude.
That’s fucking bonkers, you guys!!! There are people out there who over the course of human history have created a sound to communicate with birds, and the birds themselves have a Human Call they use to communicate with us. There is no other wild animal you can just make noises at and immediately communicate that you want it to come help you!!!
What’s more, many scientists consider this relationship more exploitative on the honeyguide’s end than on our end! That’s unprecedented!! These birds have essentially negotiated a trade deal with humanity!!!! This is the stuff of fantasy movies, except it’s real.
Here’s an article from The Guardian about the broader implications of this kind of relationship with wild animals. It’s a good read:

Apart from with our gut bacteria, we humans don’t really have any 
mutualistic relationships with other creatures. There is no special tune
 that we can sing to magically attract nearby hedgehogs into our gardens
 to feast on slugs. There will never be a special wink that fishermen 
can offer otters, encouraging them to catch fish that we might then 
de-bone for them, in return for some of the catch. The world is poorer 
for this.



OKAY BUT the noise we make at honeyguides is one of my favorite noises there is, and if y’all haven’t heard the “BRRR-HM?” call that hunters use to summon honeyguides you are SERIOUSLY missing out. 
There’s an audio clip on the Audobon Society’s article about them [link]

Pee-can Resistance 

Really glad somebody explained that because I honestly had no idea why it was called pecan resist.Especially because depending on who you talk to it would be pronounced “pee-cahn resist”.

It can only sound like that if you pronounce it “pee-can” like a fuckin weirdo

Apparently Tumblr nuked the second half of my reply because I added “especially since many people were just pronounce it pee-cahn resist” lmao I want of those weirdos who calls it “pee-can pie“ but pee-cahn in nearly every other circumstance

    Signaling: Professor: Wings-Eating Show Hot Ones Is
 Problematic for Women
 By KATHERINE TIMPF July 12, 2018 6:33 PM
 oo O O O
 Hot Ones host Sean Evans (YouTube screengrab via First We Feast)
 A YouTube show that challenges contestants to eat increasingly spicy chicken wings has raised
 the ire of a Tulsa media-studies professor.
 ccording to a professor of media studies at the University of Tulsa, the YouTube show Hot
 Ones is problematic because it "manipulates inequitable gender hierarchies."
 In case you aren't familiar with Hot Ones, it's a show where the host challenges his guests to eat
 increasingly spicy chicken wings. Seems pretty harmless, right? An innocent chicken-eating show
 couldn't possibly be something that's actually hurting women, could it?
 Well, Professor Emily J. H. Contois thinks it could. According to her paper, "The spicy spectacular
 food, gender, and celebrity on Hot Ones," published in the journal Feminist Media Studies, the show
 "creates, maintains, and manipulates inequitable gender hierarchies through the interrelated
 performances of gender, food consumption, and celebrity."
 In other words: According to Contois, society just doesn't accept the idea of women eating spicy
 foods, and that is the reason that only eleven women have appeared as contestants on the show so
 far. Women, she argues, know that they don't really stand a chance on Hot Ones, because gender
 binaries "create power hierarchies by feminizing dainty, light, and sweet flavors and foods, eaten
 in small portions with restraint."
 The paper goes on to claim that society conditions people to believe that "real men" are supposed
 to "seek out and conquer" spicy foods, and that "being the type of dude who loves hot sauce is part
 of performing conventional masculinity.. through actions like disregarding risk and facing
 danger fearlessly" Women, on the other hand, aren't supposed to eat messy foods like wings, or to
 discuss topics such as the effects that spicy foods might have on their digestive tracts, because these
 topics are "often considered taboo for women to openly discuss, let alone as part of a celebrity
 persona" without adopting a sort of "cool girl" persona, which some women might not want to do.

Soy isoflavones activate your body’s estrogen receptors, proteins that detect the presence of estrogen and carry out effects such as changes in gene expression. However, isoflavones do so more weakly than your body’s natural estrogen. If estrogen is absent, isoflavones weakly activate the estrogen receptor, mitigating the effect of low estrogen. If estrogen is abundant, isoflavones interfere with the activity of natural estrogen, limiting the effect of high estrogen levels. <b>Since the structure of isoflavones is similar to estrogen, isoflavones may decrease your body’s production of estrogen and increase the rate of estrogen degradation due to feedback mechanisms that control estrogen levels.

 lopes forward to destroy the earth, and is met
 by a crowd of people. An army, Fenrir thinks,
 and bares his teeth in a ferocious snarl and
 charges toward them

 Wait. cheer?
 Fenrir slows, confused. He smells no fear
 senses no rage. This is a very strange army.

 it in one bite, to more cheering, and looks

 and Big Macs and bacon; it seems like much
 of the group has brought him a snack of some
 kind and was hoping for a chance to give it to
 him.
 The End of the World is supposed to be at

 sated, his battle-lust swept away by a tide of
 gently petting hands, he rolls over, careful not
 to crush his many companions, and takes a
 nap.

 During the 1st live iPhone demo, Steve
 Jobs was secretly switching phones
 because they couldn't even play a song
 without crashing. Their displays were
 rigged to show 5 bars of signal strength
 and he had to use a portable cell tower
 just so they would seem reliable enough
 to make calls. One little mistake could've
 ruined the entire presentation, but Jobs
 got through it flawlessly, and the iPhone
 was a hit before it ever actually worked.

 DC Comics superhero Isis will be joining DC's Legends of Tomorrow in
 its upcoming third season under her real name of Zari Adrianna Tomaz
 (played by Tala Ashe), and the fact that the character is a practicing
 Muslim is a choice show producer Marc Guggenheim said was made
 specifically in response to the election of U.S. President Donald Trump

 "You might have heard there was this election," said Guggenheim during this week's
 Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills (as quoted by Variety). "Not
 to get political, but something that we al gravitated toward in the writers room was
 making this character Muslim."
 "Representation is a really powerful thing," added Ashe. "When I was growing up
 watching television, I didn't see anyone who looked like me. When I think of the kid
 version of myself, I think it broadens your perspective. What I think is so lovely about
 this show is that the Legends are this tapestry that represent America today."

 According to Variety, Guggenheim said that DC's Legends of Tomorrow doesn't look
 to define a character by their race, religion, or sexual orientation but did so in this
 case following the election, in part due to the experiences of a family member who is
 Muslim
 "She was talking about how difficult it is to be a Muslim-American in the current
 political climate," said Guggenheim. "Having a character who's a computer hacker and
 is from the future but also happens to be Muslim, it's a nice, important aspect of her
 character."
 Guggenheim said that the usage of DC Comics' Isis was also done add more women
 to the cast.
 "There weren't enough women quite frankly," he said. "It's something we were
 looking to address."
 DC's Legends of Tomorrow is scheduled to return for its third season October 10 on
 the CW.

    Signaling: Sunday Night's Matt Doran goes
 undercover with Operation
 Underground Railroad to bring
 down Haiti child sex ring
 JULY 23, 2017 4:03PM
Swipe left... We need to protect children from evil men! If I was in charge they would be disposed of, not go to jail! On a luxury yacht in the Caribbean, a group of men are waiting for their party guests to arrive - dozens of girls, some as young as 10 years old, who have been sold to the group by human traffickers. But there won't be a party. The men onboard the yacht, posing as pedophiles from the US and Australia, are actually undercover agents who have been planning a dangerous rescue operation for more than a year. In a major Sunday Night investigation, reporter Matt Doran joined the team from global child rescue agency OperationUndergroundRailroad (OUR) as the sting took place on the yacht and in a nearby luxury resort. Among those undercover are two Australians: Pete, a paramedic, and Vivienne, a former detective. While Vivienne's job in the operation is to look after the girls as a 'groomer', Pete's role is more hands-on. "Part of it is a disgusting part and that's being one of the pedophiles, and I'm there to party, be one of the party goers and actually pretend that I want to have sex with one of these girls," Pete said. "My other part of the Haiti job is that I'm a medical expert, and part of that is overseeing everyone in the team and making sure that all their health and safety is looked after." On the day of the operation, the traffickers arrive at the resort accompanied by more than 30 girls. As the children are ushered into a room with Vivienne, the criminals make their way out to the yacht, where hidden cameras have been set up to record conversations that will be used as evidence against the traffickers. The men are filmed laughing and celebrating as they boast about the ages of the children. With clear admissions on tape, the final phase of the sting is to get the traffickers back to the resort to collect their money. "The boss doesn't give money on the boat - the money's in the house," one of agents tells them. As soon as the cash is handed over, a signal is given and local police storm the room with their guns drawn. At least 8 mid- to high-level traffickers were arrested and 30 children rescued. chakabars
