Didn't he have chagas disease or however it's spelled? And for decades I thought. Anyone with a condition that has 'dying sensations' listed as a symptom gets my pity.

Thanks. I hate this.

He's so babygirl- wait did this motherfucker say he hates BEES?! Fuck it I'm a young-earth creationist now

I never realized how much I like Charles Darwin.

@aylac.top you talk like this

See also another Charles - Babbage.

I'm reading On the Origin of Species right now, and working my way through his thoughts on species and varieties; I gave myself permission to skim some of the detailed passages because, yeah, it's convoluted, and you can see him working out several thorny issues.

This is oddly comforting to know. Thank you!

If only Darwin could have lived to see the day

Darwin hating species and varieties is like when IT curse the existence of computers.

I can hear Morrisey singing every one of those lines

This is how you know Darwin was a real scientist

"Oh my God how I do hate species & varieties." -Charles Darwin to J. D. Hooker, 11 Mar 1858 darwin's work on species & varieties did not progress smoothly. from Darwin Correspondence Project - Darwin's bad days www.darwinproject.ac.uk/darwins-bad-...

He sounds like a perpetual teenager.

I can go along with all of this except the bees bit.

Fuck clover

it is the survival of the hatiest

Like a Christian.

Clover and bees, really getting into the nitty gritty of hating

Religious fundamentalists must have been like "I can't believe we're losing to this guy"

I'm beginning to think he wasn't talking about evolution when he said "Monkeys, the whole lot of ya's!"

LoL. Today is my husbands birthday. Imma send him this

Just sounds like Aubrey Plaza tbf

"I hate bees" -- ? That's going too far. 🐝

this is super relatable

hes so me i fear

My hero. One of them.

Love that correspondence of Charles Darwin writing his favorite hooker

#KeepingItReal

Glad to know shit posting existed long before twitter.

Interesting that his hateful disposition doesn't seem to evolve

I need an entire account dedicated to the things Darwin hated

I think I'm related to Darwin!

Apparently Charles Darwin had beef with me personally.

ahhh, he would have LOVED 2026

I didn’t know he was such an angry fellow 😭

This belongs here, enjoy your mood. youtu.be/HrQLdqkk-j8?...

nothing but sympathy from me

This is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Rancid white men are, maybe, the wrong folks to turn to?

depressed icon ❤️ give me strength

@maryspezz.bsky.social I think I have sent you most of these messages

My journal as a young teen.

For some reason even more funny that he sent messages like this to different people

He had a chronic illness.

In 1990 he would have been a grunge band.

Sounds like he might have not hated the Darwin Awards, though.

Leftists sure do love their hate

Honestly, same

Relatable

!!!

Relatable

My hero.

hell, same. what posesses people to write journals?

Hate the hater. Read ’Science Fraud: Darwin’s Plagiarism of Patrick Matthew’s Theory’.

"I hate clover. I hate bees." XD

Oh, I deeply appreciate this. #hatersgonnahate

Tag yourself I'm "Oh my God how I do hate species & varieties."

One thing he did like was this picture of him youtu.be/gWQRf74L968

"I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees." Classic Darwin!

he was such a little dork and a whiny hater but he was NEVER indifferent, and I really love that about him

Interesting- we as part of a complex ecosystem- are at the mercy of the bee.

An ecumenical hater, the bast kind of hater 😹

Languid and Bedevilled. A state devoutly to be wished.

Loved getting this e-mail today. A much needed laugh!

Mood.

This has the vibe of a 6 year old having a bad day.

Apparently Toby Ziegler was based on Charles Darwin!

I'm pretty sure if I was on that boat for that long I'd be hating a few things too 😀

I have so much in common with Darwin! I say "I hate everybody and everything" at least 12 times a day. Twinsies!

Same, Charles. Same

I too am very stomachy and hate bees

At least he will always be remembered for his amazing serial work on Capitalism published in The Times of London and his amazing novel, War and Peace. /s

Sounds like he’d be fun at parties!

paging @ceaubin.com as a certified hater 😂💖

♥️ Happy Birthday Charlie. I quote you daily in my session work with folks working on their own evolution!

damn this is what I write in my diary

he was so real for three ampersands in one sentence

Pulling up to the Stars match after 90 minutes in the car:

i hate clover, and i hate bees

I wish Darwin could have known just how much people in 2026 would relate to him and these awesome messages he wrote ~200 years ago (in addition to the gratitude for all the science stuff of course)

that last one i need to steal for my sign-off

I am always languid and bedeviled.

So Darwin was an angsty teenager?

So even Darwin has imposter syndrome?

I have this on the back of a jacket.

Clover and bees, man

‘Very stomachy’ explains a lot

Darwin, returning home from the trip of a lifetime: "How glad I shall be when I can say like that good old Quarter Master who, entering the Channel on a gloomy November morning, exclaimed 'Ah, here there are none of those damned blue skies.""

He certainly had his moments O.O

“I hate varieties” my guy discovered natural selection and was furious

Yeah, fuck clover.

If he was still in Madagascar and recovering from sea sickness or something (or just bitching about the humidity) I 100% get this.

That's the sentiments of a man who has truly lived at sea.

Oh my, these sound like MY morning pep talks to myself....

Ahhh a much superior chuck d

To feel so discouraged, to sift through a lifetime of tedious data, to have so many people disagree with you, and to keep going... thats why he's such a hero

For most of his life, Darwin did not have his famous beard. In his later years, he got so sick of being recognised, he grew a massive beard so people would leave him the hell alone.

Aw, man. No alt-text means I can't share this!

One has to love how consistent he was in his hate throughout the years 😅

By Emily Dickensonian extensio, that means he hates prairie, too. 🧐

Very relatable.

If this is all true, I feel so deeply validated.

Also Darwin: #TrueStory

an account this big that only posts text really ought to know to use alt text! makes me actually sad to see :(

Once a taxonomist, always a taxonomist.

I think that he only hated everybody and everything on certain days; on other days he only hated certain things.

I have never loved him more.

"Languid and bedeviled" is best read in the voice of Moira Rose

liretlaly me fr

Oh yes! One of the original over-sharers.

Adding to my folder of haters of all time (and fiction).
