right whales aka greenland whales have retractable penises but when necessary have six foot erections! isabella rossellini acted this out in a whale costume one time.
the right whale was named because due to its oil & strong baleen it was economically valuable to whaling - aka the “right whale” to hunt. unmolested, right whales can grow up to 60 feet!
as always if you enjoy culture jamming via whales pls check out my podcast @mobydickenergy 🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳

Did you know the sperm whale is named the sperm whale because it has an enormous fluid-filled organ in its head? The fluid is white and globby, and whalers of the 18th and 19th centuries thought it was in fact sperm. It's not, but scientists don't really know what it's for.
Sperm whales give birth to only one calf at a time and they are THIRTEEN FEET LONG at birth -- humongous! Because the babies can't dive very deep, groups of sperm whale mamas group up and protect the babies together.
Scientists have determined that all the sperm whales in the world are descended from one mega-matriarch who they've dubbed "Eve." They've found this from studying whale mitochondrial DNA. But this Eve wouldn't eat an apple! Sperm whales mostly eat cephalopods.

[everyone is freaking out online]

me: time to post some thoughts about the majesty and peril of whaling
"A gentle joyousness—a mighty mildness of repose in swiftness, invested the gliding whale. ... Yet calm, enticing calm, oh, whale! thou glidest on, to all who for the first time eye thee, no matter how many in that same way thou may’st have bejuggled and destroyed before."
"Not the white bull Jupiter swimming away with ravished Europa clinging to his graceful horns; his lovely, leering eyes sideways intent upon the maid... not Jove, not that great majesty Supreme! did surpass the glorified White Whale as he so divinely swam."

keeping my mind off politics: last week i started transcribing a whaling-wife's journal for @ackhistory because i was writers-blocked and sad, and a bunch of others jumped in, and it's v cool to watch this melancholy woman's experiences at sea come alive fromthepage.com/nharl/ladies-l…
@ackhistory she is very devout and melancholy, and while the journal is mostly a ship's log, occasionally on Sundays she writes things like: "sabbath day reminds me of my home and friends...but I have one thing to comfort me God is present upon the Ocean as well as the land"
@ackhistory on sunday, july 24, 1853 she wrote: "my thoughts wander back to my far distant home and long to spend the holy Sabbath there; amidst the roaring of the sea my soul still turns her thoughts to thee." poor devout lonely eliza!

TDIH, Rosa Parks was born. While many know she wasn't a simple apolitical seamstress, her ideas about US racism & struggle are still largely unrecognized. So for today—at a time in this country when we need her ideas more than ever—a short thread highlighting Parks as a thinker:
White supremacy “walks us on a tightrope from birth,” Parks explained, highlighting the “major mental acrobatic feat” it took to survive. She struggled with the pressure to submit. There was “no solution for us who could not easily conform to this oppressive way of life.”
Recalling Du Bois’ invocation of “the problem of the color line,” Parks riffed “color line hanging rope tightrope.” Feeling like “puppets on the string in the white man’s hand,” Parks lamented “we perform to their satisfaction or suffer the consequence if we get out of line.”

1/ #PublicNotice Regrettably, I am compelled to issue a second thread in response to #KarenStewart's new tweets against me.

Consider this titled: NSA Whistleblower Karen Melton Stewart has now published open lies against me, exactly like #DrKatherineHorton—the question is: Why?
2/ Karen's tweet, Dec 21:

#ForTheRecord #Ramola #RamolaDharmaraj #IntellectualProperty #EverydayConcerned In regard to the removal of my letters and fliers from Ramola’s site: #BackStory #JointStatement #TCFF #KarenStewart
3/ In regard to Karen's storytelling and slanderous tweet above, I am choosing first to respond right here on Twitter.

I will address both her #FalseNarrative in her graphic & this issue of “#Removal” she has invented.

INEPT, INCOMPETENT & CLUELESS…THE FALLACY OF
PRESUMPTION by @AishaYesufu

Good morning Sis,
Few people tweeted at me yesterday & today when they saw your thread #DontBeLikeBuhari & the continuous toga #Incompetent #Inept #Clueless
I have a little time to earn #BMC N30K now🤣
@AishaYesufu A few days ago, after waiting for 2 days & I noticed that you were not forthcoming to my request, I tried to put a few thoughts in my heart together, not to proof any point, it's just an avenue to raise our level of discussion concerning #ProjectNigeria👇

@AishaYesufu Responding to your thread will never mean that you are completely wrong & will never sweep under the carpet the reality of a few stuff you raised under the leadership of @MBuhari as @NGRPresident although, I think it could have been said in a more decent manner. We are different!

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
