Now this, this truly is amazing! A National Graphic photographer recollects his experience photographing Leopard seals in the Antarctic. Just comes to show how wrong our traditional idea of ‘Nature read in tooth and claw’ can be. Plus the fact that Leopard seals rock harder than a boulder.

This is by far the greatest post in existence. You can all go home. I am in pure awe at the brilliance of this. The world is beautiful and there is hope for humanity.
"Just appearing as a woman online, it seems, can be enough to inspire abuse. In 2006, researchers from the University of Maryland set up a bunch of fake online accounts and then dispatched them into chat rooms. Accounts with feminine usernames incurred an average of 100 sexually explicit or threatening messages a day. Masculine names received 3.7."
on the one hand, i’m glad we have actual quantitative research on this. on the other hand, i’m like, “well, duh, any lady/lady-leaning nerd could’ve told you this”.
