what are ur actual bookshelf red flags. please do not say american psycho 

JDKDKSBDNDKS one hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez because what the actual fuck. There’s no excuse for reading it all the way thru. My ex bf (emphasis on EX) gave me a copy as a gift but I regret even the 50 pages I read. Like, sure, the authors morality isn’t the characters morality etc… but there’s so much twisted stuff in there, graphically detailed, emphasized, repeated, you start to wonder what kind of mind would want to create this kind of suffering even in fiction. And even if it serves a point, I just feel like the point gets rusty from all that blood you spilt to prove it. If someone has a defense, I’m all ears.

Colombia was essentially in an ongoing civil war for the entirety of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s lifetime. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book concerned with history, and the history of Latin America has been profoundly affected by violence. Many events are drawn directly from Marquez’s life.

Does that answer your question of what twisted mind could have conceived of such things, and what purpose it might serve?

ID: tags that read “#this is why we say that reading comprehension and critical thinking is becoming a privilege lately #you can say the book is bloody/gory for me #but you cannot imply Gabriel Garcia Marquez and other latinamerican writers are perverse bc ‘their stories make me uncomfy’ #specially when most of those stories are allegories for the bloody dictatorships the us sponsored and coached in latam” /END ID.

just a reminder that if you were rolled out the test roll-out with the new post headers without floating avatars/icons to provide feedback to staff (original post in source).

i know there’s already 3rd party fixes going around, but please take the time to send feedback to staff to get at least icons back in some capacity in the headers while this is still in beta testing mode.

Thank you so much for sharing what the test looks like.
That’s unbearable, would make Dash unusable.

that is the face of a man worried he will be next

Good news, he was not next! In fact, she accepted him as her mate, he learned the crane mating dance and now every year, he artificially inseminates her with crane semen to expand the very endangered crane population. True story.

Sorry, he WHAT? Imagine being this man’s boss and having to sit him down like. Listen. Brian. We need you to fuck the bird. You have to act like you’re excited about it.

crane husband…..

this is the diametric opposite of all those awful swan wife stories and i love it.

(WalWaPo makes you jump through like three separate hoops before you can read the article, so I will share some of the highlights:

• Walnut was born in a species-recovery breeding program in the 1980′s.  The program had crane chicks hand-raised by human volunteers, and at that time they did not fully understand the measures necessary make sure that the chicks do not imprint on humans and retain their identity as cranes.  
• As a result, her keepers believe, Walnut does not recognize other cranes as members of her own species.  
• It has not been proven that Walnut killed her previous suitors; however, there is a persistent rumor in the white-naped-crane-conservation community that she did.  
• Because this species is highly endangered, and the gene pool of the captive population is small, it’s pretty important for the survival of her species that Walnut A) mate, and B) not kill a bunch of other cranes.  
• The actual name of the keeper is Chris Crowe.
• They both arrived at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2004.   
• Walnut immediately began paying special attention to Chris–and ignoring the eligible male crane in a nearby enclosure.  
• Walnut initiated their courtship, performing the opening moves of a mating dance.  
• Chris realized that if he reciprocated the mating dance, it might be possible to artificially inseminate Walnut with her participation and consent.  (The process normally involves restraining the bird.)  
• It worked!  
• Chris and Walnut have had five children, who were raised by other crane couples at the facility–sometimes the biological dad and his mate–both because it’s unclear whether Walnut would accept the chicks as her own, and because Chris is not equipped to be a Crane Dad.  
• However, the Institute provides her with artificial eggs to sit on, and Chris takes his turn looking after them.  (This would not work with real eggs because he can’t sit on them properly, but Walnut seems to feel that he is on the job if he just stands over them.)
• Chris accepts that he is pretty much married to this bird.  White-naped cranes live to be about 60, and they mate for life, so he knows he can’t retire while Walnut is alive.  (At the time of the article, Walnut was 36, and Chris 42.)  

Legit cannot pick the funniest part of this

she has not been PROVEN to have killed her exes, but there is a PERSISTENT RUMOR (really officers she’s simply DEVASTATED, she sobs, wearing a new feather boa unfortunately resembling her most recent deceased husband)

His name is Chris CROWE. (Mrs. Walnut Crane-Crowe?)

the mental images of a whole human man learning and performing the crane mating dance, and “sitting” on artificial eggs so she thinks he’s performing his duties as a husband and father (and apparently OBJECTS if he does not?)

“chris, buddy, you gotta marry the possibly-murderous crane lady for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES.” (alternately: “chris, my man! good news! we found you a very interested lady! She’s 36, she’s very spirited and independent, she holds a very important and rare status in her society! …Is there a downside? WELL…”)

chris sits any potential human partners down, like “my love, you must understand before we wed,,, i am already… Attached” (camera drifts wistfully to the above photo) “Lady Walnut and I have an,, Understanding… the relationship is open, but very committed”

just had to explain this post to my father bc he thought my stifled laughter was a signal of illness.

well done, everyone, good game. hit the showers.

Not only is he ‘married’ to walnut, this has apparently happened SEVERAL times, so he has MULTIPLE crane wives, none of which know about any of his other crane wives. This man is, for some unknown reason, irresistible to cranes

the “this content has been removed for violating Tumblr’s Community Guidelines” notice really adds a lot of flavor to this post and somehow makes it MORE obscene than whatever that actually was

polygynous crane husband
