A friend of mine just shared this because some random bigot on his FB was kicking off that the Duo owl would be pro-LGBT+ rights ("I'll DELETE THE APP!! OMG"). Obviously this is hilariously tragic and bigots should fuck off but I feel like there's a deeper question that needs answering here.

Namely: why does this owl have tits?

Is the Duolingo owl... a mammal?

FYI: "Toe the line"

The idiom is toe the line, not tow the line.

The phrase derives from track-and-field events in which athletes are required to place a foot on a starting line and wait for the signal to go. Race officials used to shout “Toe the line!” where now they shout “On your marks!”

Since entering the language, the idiom has developed to mean do what is expected or act according to someone else’s rules or expectations.

@NormanDunbar English is a bloody stupid language, but only because it's stolen so many other languages words and phrases. It's the MUGGER of communication mediums! @dgar

@danjac why not have young people do 2 years of NHS work? I mean,if you're going to conscript people they may as well be given useful things to do, rather than being told to kill others.

@danjac ah, you mean the people who are just too young to have done NS themselves, but they heard stories about it from older friends and family.

This is Fenwicke. Or “Fenny Kruger,” as I like to call him, because he is unable to retract or control his claws. So his love is painful.

I’m not a big fan of cats. But he’s pretty cool. He likes to chill with me after everyone goes to bed. And he likes to play fetch with hairbands.

Video evidence of NYPD punching, brutalising, & arresting peaceful protesters

"New York police have beaten & arrested several protesters at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Brooklyn."

As the protesters reached an intersection, "officers rushed in & grabbed people out of the crowd seemingly at random.

"Officers tackled multiple protesters to the ground & then proceeded to punch them."

Oh, Dairy Pics from yesterday! I've never seen such happy cows, and the cheese was sooo good!

This is several wedges of cheese in different sizes and shapes on a slab of granite. They are Camembert Havarti, Edam, Gouda, Raclette, Jersey Jack, and Garlic Jack
A weathered shed with an old red truck in front of it, there is a windmill and green rolling hills in the background and a dog walking on a gravel path in the foreground
This is the cow pasture, you can see cows grazing under trees in the distance and big puffy white clouds in the sky

    It’s also rich when a white American refers to Jews as “European colonizers” when Jews have been indigenous to the Middle East for thousands of years.

    Meanwhile, when did white people show up in the USA? Maybe 500 years ago, if I’m being charitable.

    @atomicpoet I wonder what the family lineage is of the ones that support the genocide? Odds are it's mostly European.
