i learned that in the 1950s, most American shoes stores used powerful x-ray machines as a sales gimmick that allowed customers to observe the fit of their feet inside shoes in real time. The machines often lacked adequate shielding and were commonly used to fit children’s shoes (x)

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

[ryan-sometimes]

The thoughts of my shih tzus: Man I love the couch. Flip flops are so yummy. I wish it was nap time again

The thoughts of my grandma's border collie: I have been silently observing the pigeons up in the tree for 3 hours in order to gain every tactical advantage. I'm trying to engineer the optimal jump into the backyard pool. I wish I could play chess

tired of people saying “gender is a spectrum, sex is a binary” when they’re trying to explain transness or whatever. sex is also a spectrum

[professional-chaotic-dumbass]

if anyone tries to tell me that sex is binary i’m tattooing the intersex flag on the inside of their eyelids

[fleshdyke]

yeah you get it

[xxd0m1n1quexx]

I recently read an article that explained sex hasn’t been binary for decades and people were just unaware if they weren’t just xx or xy. There’s just no name for the other sex types. It was really eye opening and I wish I remembered the name of it.

[shefoid-deactivated20221227]

queen theres no third gamete therefore theres only two sexes and intersex ppl are all either male or female (the way the conditions present depends on their sex, some even happen only in males or only in females), stop saying bullshit pls

[xxd0m1n1quexx]

It’s not about how many gametes exist. It’s about the combination of them. Sure xx and xy are the most common, but people are born with xxx, or xxy combinations and can cause them to develop both sex organs or none. Biologically they are non-binary because they don’t fall into the two most common sexes but they still exist. Stop trying to spread hate around here. Thanks 😘

people not knowing theyre intersex is actually a massive issue, i didnt find out until i was 18 years old that i have PAIS and only found out when medical records hadnt been properly shared with my doctor and i had severe renal and endocrine issues because surgeries performed on intersex infants are rarely sustainable long term and cause huge issues in adulthood.

also non intersex people please dont call intersex people "biologically non binary" whilst many intersex people identify as non binary we dont really like non intersex people making blanket statements about what they think our biological sex actually is. intersex is a spectrum but at the end of the day what their sex is is entirely up to the individual, some see themselves as biologically non binary but other people also just see themselves as one sex or the other + an intersex condition. and its genuinly just not for you to comment on.

Words that I didn't think were uniquely finnish but I'm surprised to learn english seems to lack:

Kohtalotoveri - companion/comrade in fate

A person who shares the same fate as you, or someone whose fate is similar enough to yours to be comparable. No need for familiarity or emotional connection of any kind - it can be a perfect stranger. Someone who got the same shitty fortune as you did is your comrade in fate regardless of who they are to you personally, just the same as anyone with the same name as you is your namesake.
