Colonizer science classifies cattle as "bovids,” in the same family as bison, African buffalo, water buffalo, yak, and four-horned and spiral-horned antelopes. I wish I knew the
#IndoEuropean term for “bovid,” but I don’t—thanks to colonialism. So I’ll just use “bovid.” 2/Show this thread -

if they were obedient churchgoers maybe they'd be less inclined to fall for every free-floating cop meme on the Website

Definitely a something-shaped hole in there
