Bill Nye uses ice cream to explain the ridiculousness of gay conversion therapy

Not since But I’m a Cheerleader has gay conversion therapy been shown up so hilariously (and deliciously) as the illogical and damaging stain on pseudo psychotherapy that it is. 

On Bill Nye Saves the World, everyone’s favourite science guy uses “flavour” to describe a diverse array of sexualities, and the tyrannical attempt to dictate another’s.

In the adorably animated video, “Vanilla” holds a meeting to demand all the other ice creams change their flavour to vanilla too. “As Vanilla, I feel that I am the most natural of the ice creams. And therefore the rest of you should just go ahead and also be vanilla. It’s the one true flavor.” He says. Read more…

Just a terrifyingly large snake dragging a dead bearded dragon across the road

http://ift.tt/1ogD5d5

In Australia, they don’t say “dragging a dead deer up a hill.” 

Instead, the saying goes, “dragging a dead bearded dragon up a dirt track and also being a huge-arse brown snake.” Or something like that. 

Bourke man, Andrew Hull, caught the venomous, terrifying creature crossing the road with something in its mouth on Saturday, and decided to start filming.

“So I’m driving up the river road from Wilcannia, composing a poem for Ian Marr, heart full of the bush, the autumn sun, and the wide red road, upon which lay a sizeable brown snake eating a bearded dragon,” he said in classic Australian yarn-spinning fashion.  Read more…
