About acflory

I am the kind of person who always has to know why things are the way they are so my interests range from genetics and biology to politics and what makes people tick. For fun I play online mmorpgs, read, listen to a music, dance when I get the chance and landscape my rather large block. Work is writing. When a story I am working on is going well I'm on cloud nine. On bad days I go out and dig big holes... View all posts by acflory

Oh, I know that one well, and I cite Frans de Waal quite often. 🙂

  I know you were replying to Pinky but as I hadn’t heard of Frans de Waal either I looked him up as well [and posted…again!]. Fascinating, btw.

John Oliver used this video for his monologue on the gender pay gap 😀

  lmao! I had to look him up as I’d never heard of him before. Hilarious and soooooo good. Did a quick post for others who may not have heard of him yet. Thank you. 🙂
