happy pride month 🏳️🌈
Clip of Lucy Dacus on the Las Culturistas podcast.
what if I just made my profile picture a male calico cat or something. hurm
Could I suggest a picture of Dawntreader Texas Calboy? He is a beautiful male calico cat who is a chimera. He's also somewhat controversial among some cat fancy associations since he is a male cat with female colors, and some people are strangely transphobic towards him, despite him being a cat? There was even a rule implemented to keep him from competing in a cat show. If you look up his name, he made a few news articles.
Oh my god?????
Yeah you're right about beautiful I'm squeezing him until he pops!!!!! I love this guy I think I'm going to make an edit real quickly Calboy I love you I'm so sorry people are calling you a freak??????
For anyone curious, the controversy around his inclusion in Cat Shows was because he was incredibly dominant in the first few shows he was put in. So much so that other Maine Coon breeders competing in the same shows complained to the organizers that while tri-color patterns are acceptable in female Maine Coons, they are ambiguously unaccepted in males.
Purebred cats in the cat show circuit have to be fertile. They can't be desexed (spayed or neutered) and they can't have genetic conditions that would render them infertile, sterile, or unsuitable for breeding purposes. The point is to identify the best individual examples of a breed to maintain or improve the breed over time. It's eugenics, but those are the rules.
Essentially all male tri-color cats are sterile due to the fact that the genes for orange and black color in cats are located on the X-chromosome. Male cats typically only have one X-chromosome so typically can only have either black OR orange coloration (white fur and dilute colors are actually caused by a pigment suppressing gene that is located on a somatic chromosome, and the pattern of white patches is controlled by yet other genes).
So, typically, a male cat that has both black and orange in his coat has to have an intersex condition called Kleinfelter Syndrome, where his sex-chromosome genotype is XXY, rather than the normal XY. The extra X-chromosome renders these male cats infertile or sterile.
But Dawntreader Texas Calboy (DTC) is not an XXY male. He is a chimera!
Basically, very early on in development two male embryos in DTC's mother's uterus fused together. This happened so early that the new chimeric embryo developed into a normal kitten. But, because one of those original embryos had a orange X-chromosome and the other had a black X-chromosome, DTC was born with a tri-color coat.
His breeder assumed he was sterile and left him housed with her female cats without neutering him. When some of his female roommates were found to be pregnant, the breeder decided to take DTC to the vet and look deeper.
When she discovered that this beautiful cat was a chimera, rather than intersex, she decided to start entering him into the shows her other cats were in, and he started winning A LOT.
But when those jealous competitors complained DTC was barred from further shows on the basis of his coloration being a "defect" that was "undesirable in the breed".
But chimerism cannot be passed down! It is a random, extremely rare event that happens after fertilization.
Basically, jealous rival Maine Coon breeders nit-picked and rules-lawyered an exceptional cat out of competition on the basis of his gender presentation.

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.
do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.
stopppp everyone absolutely needs to see this
So my dad was the assistant music editor on Tarzan, and idk if it was Bring Your Kid to Work Day or something but one day he did just that so there I was, this incredibly small 1st grader, in an absolutely cavernous recording studio with a full orchestra and a giant screen playing the scene they were taping the score for, and my little brain couldn't handle the big music and the big movie happening all at once so I started crying and it was the first time music ever brought me to tears and it was too much to take in so we stepped out of the studio and ran directly into Phil Collins, who looked to me very much like my dad, and in my delicate emotional state I became immediately convinced that my dad had been copied and nobody had told me so I started crying harder, and Phil Collins said something that was probably meant to be calming but it was with a British accent so I thought there was a copy of my dad in every country and I absolutely lost it at the notion that other kids would get to have my dad, and my dad ended up having to carry me back to the car.
So.
Sorry for crying very loudly at you Phil Collins, your work on Tarzan was so moving it triggered my first emotional breakdown.
the only thing that could top that clip is that story
dad said its my turn on the xbox
CRITICAL ROLE 4.27 Complicated Questions
i miss this kid
Made a new poster! :)
I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like she’d never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door. So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I ’m like “Are you gonna eat all that?” And ya’ll she get’s BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell
I didn’t want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Don’t ask mom for spaghettis or she’ll call the damn police on you.
So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words “When I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettis” My adult logic slams into place and is like “Hang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.”
So obviously that’s not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened.
So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. He’d been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.
Now I just want ya’ll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.
Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying “Are you gonna eat all that?”
I suspect they were trying to keep me busy and distracted while they cleaned up the corpse in the living room?!?
someone said tumblr nuked this post, but I could never be so lucky.
