everyone's talking about the ibs/autism haha funny comparison thing while I'm still stuck on the concept that hamsters exist in the wild. like naturally

tf do you mean they're a wild creature. you find those ankle-biters at the pet store

[psshaw]

Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:

i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.

"is it better to read non fiction or novels?" No. It is better to read than not to read full stop. That is the only argument. Let's not create yet another fake scale of who is a better reader. I am so fucking tired of this kind of discourse. If you only read graphic novels you are still reading and that is better than not reading. If you only read middle grade books despite being in your 30s you are still reading and that is better than no reading. If you read one single book a year it is still good because you are reading. And that makes you a reader.

i am not going to die on this hill i am going to kill on it and win. i cannot fucking stand all this bullshit discourse that one way or another tries to make a list of who is an actual reader and who is a fake reader, or who is a better reader or a more real reader. that only discourages people who might want to pick the hobby up. “if you only read certain stuff you are not an actual reader” but if you read “too much” you are faking it, and this thing is actually better than that one. noooo if you are struggling with your time and still manage to squeeze in a lighthearted read that is so good bc guess what? you are reading. okay i'll stop ranting. for now. cris speaks. bookblr. booklr.

OOOOOh this explains a lot to me. In my wonderous experience of researching perfume, I've come across bits of this. One of the best articles I found about the history of aldehydes devolved into a psuedo-scientifc screed on are aldehydes poisonous (they're not), AND that one weird comment about oakmoss being a reproductive inhibitor (I WISH), but yeah, OF COURSE, it's a right wing misogyny campaign that paints anything "femenine" (perfume, cosmetics, skin care, bath products, you know, nice things that many women use to make the misery of life bearable) as unnatural and bad for you.

If you are infertile, I promise you, it's not your fault. :) Cultural misogyny wants to blame infertility on women's actions and virtue SO MUCH when it's really just a biological dice roll. And also, men can be infertile, too.

And if you are fertile and want to be infertile (I'd be so happy if I could never have a period again), I have bad news for you: keep up your birth control prescription and wait until menopause. Or get your tubes tied or whatever. Perfume isn't going to help you.

In the meantime, I'm going to be dousing myself in Opium to keep the anti-vaxxers away.

Bilateral salpingectomy, baybeeee. There are lists of gynos who will do the operation without you needing to be a specific age or what the fuck ever. Yeeting my tubes (6 years before my yeeterus became necessary) was the best thing I did for my mental health. 4 days of downtime watching trashy TV and no more pregnancy scares, or pregnancy, ever again. Plus if you just take the tubes out, it's one less thing that can turn cancerous later.

I think making character playlists is good for you and connected to analysis skills in a very fun way and low investment way. I know its seen as quite trivial but to me it operates the same way looking at a lot of art builds ur skills passively. Yummy enrichment activity

re ehrc guidance. which is not legally binding.

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

“should I do this for people of all ages?”

that's a very good addition actually, a solid "you want me to ask people's kids about their genitals? can i have that in writing?" should make upper echelons very uncomfortable.

My grandmother tells me that she thinks I drink too much water but that woman also seems to live off of half a cup of water and a can of Diet Coke a day and just sucks on hard candy when she feels thirsty so idk if it’s growing up in the 40s and 50s that made her like that or if that’s just how she is but I’m pretty sure she’s been dehydrated for the past 70 years or so
