Me, surfacing for air: “You saw that fish? That was a parrot fish that has not transed its gender. They do that, you know. Trans. Their genders. In the wild. It’s natural. It’s free. It’s in the ocean. Not all of them do it and that’s ok it’s up to them. Sometimes cis male parrotfish do it too. It’s all the same, in the end. Ok, I’m going back down.”

[hmantegazzi]

It's through the DMRT-1 gene, and we have it too! Here's an article about what it might mean for future trans health procedures, as the gene editing tools available today (the article is from 2023) aren't precise enough to manipulate it safely:

What if We Didn't Need HRT Anymore?

DMRT-1 and what medical transition might look like in the future

[raccoonmilf]

Holy shit that is so cool!!! What a wonderful world we live in where fish are providing insight into the next generation of trans healthcare

I also think, like... it's very sweet that whenever Vetinari is, shall we say, not feeling 100%, he likes to just have a chat with whoever's keeping an eye on him at the time. Ah, V- oh NOT Vimes, okay, and you are? Wonderful! Do you like being in the Watch? Well done. Who's that over there doing the shouting? Very good! This all seems in order, if you don't mind too much I'd like to be unconscious again now. Please let everyone know I'm not dead yet. Sorry about the carpet. Thank you so much.

[cakesandfail]

The thing about this is, it's indicative of his actual character, rather than the Tyrant Persona or the general vibe he lets people assume about himself when they're working off of limited information. When he's hurt, or ill, or under the influence- whatever state he's in at the time where he physically cannot keep the evil dictator thing going- he's just cheerfully weird and very polite, and interested in other people. Ultimately I think these little unguarded moments do a lot to explain why he's doing this job in the first place, and what he might be like if he didn't feel like he had to be doing it.

YEAH THOUGH

They are very similar in a lot of ways and I don't think it's just me reading too much into it- they're friends, right? They've got to be friends for a reason, and if Sybil is calling him Havelock as early as Men at Arms then they've obviously been friends since before Sam came along. And I don't think Sybil would be actual, proper friends, on first-name terms, with someone whose Aloof Scary Tyrant persona was real. She sees the best in people and I think 'politely whimsical nerd who Cares A Lot' Vetinari is probably what she's seeing.

Some names just sound so ridiculously fake that had they been fictional, people would’ve rolled their eyes in complete disbelief. Like seriously. Wdym there’s a mf called Galileo Galilei. Stfu. You just made that up

[ryan-sometimes]

Fastest man on earth is a guy called Usain Bolt. Sure I guess. There’s a poker player whose real name is Chris Moneymaker. Whatever. Scott Speed is a racecar driver. Founder of Tito’s Vodka is some guy called Bert Beveridge. There’s a former CNN bureau chief called William Headline. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

I wonder if being bullied as a kid has any inoculating factors? like "I can do this now, because I could do this at 4 feet tall" type stuff. or does it just permanently make you into a quivery little prey animal? much to consider.

[pangur-and-grim]

oh yowch.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

[omikronsoul]

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

[justletmeremember]

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

[03josten]

oh my god i'm so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

[03josten]

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

[sraithpics]

I meant to make this meme ages ago when pride month was still on but yeah gé (pronounced gay) is the Irish for a goose.

[sraithpics]

IT’S FINALLY PRIDE MONTH, TIME TO REBLOG THIS AGAIN.

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

I never really thought of myself as a person that likes to exercise or do sports, that is, before I discovered the joys of cycling. Holy shit. Oh my dace. Cycling is fucking amazing. It’s such a versatile activity!!! I can choose to cycle around the city to explore all the sights much faster and easier, just meandering around, I can choose to cycle long distance to someplace new or old, I can choose to cycle a certain route as fast as I can! Not only do I get the benefit of moving fast from point A to point B but I also get to savour all the sights around me, hear the birds, feel the wind on me, smell the flowers, take it all in. And if all that wasn’t just the best thing in the world already good cod does it just feel good to cycle. Really straining to reach a certain speed or going uphill makes me feel so alive. It makes my blood flow! And the feeling in my legs right after I’ve finished my route, AUGHHHH I live for that feeling, I really do. All my life I’ve felt like a wimp who could never reach the expected level of fitness if my life depended on it but when I cycle I feel so strong! I feel so capable! It’s amazing! I found My Sport and on cod I hope everybody finds theirs

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

Basically just finished cycling 35 km which is longer than I’ve ever gone before! My legs are cooked pasta but omg. That was amazing. I felt like a fucking tuna fish!!!!!!! I was indomitable!!!!!!!!! It’s hard to stop to have a drink because I just want to keep going forever and ever and ever…..

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

New year, new me and a new record of 50 km achieved :] Will not be my last! The indomitable tuna fish will rise again!!

ok this looks ultra mega based, are you kidding me? can you imagine the bullshit i could get up to with this bad boy? fuck yes i want ten

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.
