so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

Look y'all, this reveal means so much to me. So many times in movies these days there are big reveals for the audience’s benefit that mean absolutely nothing in the context of the story or to the characters in it. I’m talking the Thanos cameo in the Avengers’ stinger, I’m talking Benedict CumberKhan in Star Trek, I’m talking about every hackneyed “This character is actually this other character” when in universe nobody knows nor cares about their true identity.

But here? This reveal? This is a Big Reveal for us, Peter B Parker, and Miles, all on different levels. We and Peter both know Doc Ock is a portly dude, not a woman. We know the name Octavius… Otto Octavius. But when she says her name is Olivia Octavius we’re clued in to the fact that Doctor Octopus is a woman in this universe. And she has Peter captive.

Miles, if he was paying attention in science class earlier in the movie, would have known her name was Olivia Octavius, but that doesn’t mean anything to him, why would it? Liv has apparently been very good about keeping her supervillainy a secret. She’s in educational videos shown in high-schools. So to Miles, the reveal here is this scientist lady, who he knew enough about to know was the head scientist at Alchemax, is a supervillain. He gets the reveal a second or two after Peter.

And the movie? It was dropping hints the entire time, confident in our expectations blinding is to the truth. Olivia’s name was partially visible when Miles got to science class. Her glasses are octagonal. The lights in her lab are octagonal. We know she’s working with the Kingpin. Why wouldn’t she be a supervillain? Because she’s hot? Hell, Peter even says he needs to reexamine his internal biases. Maybe he was telling us that we should too.

It’s a reveal for us, and for our heroes. It means something, both in-universe and out. And that makes it infinitely better than other similar reveals.

The "Wug Test" was a famous, mid twentieth century linguistic experiment by Jean Berko Gleason which proved that young children were able to generalize grammatical rules in the English language. As part of the test, Gleason invented a number of pseudowords, plausible-sounding words that a child would have never heard of before. The most famous was "Wug."

A child would be presented with an incomplete sentence such

This is a WUG. Now there is another one. There are two of them. There are two ________.

Children, without coaching, were successfully able to pluralize "wug" (a word they had never heard of before) into "wugs," proving that they understood the grammatical concept of pluralizing an English noun by appending an 's'. Other grammatical structures like verb conjugation were similarly successful.

The above posts are playing with this concept, starting with a parody of the simple, child-friendly sentence structure of the original test. The final post is a "reaction image" taken from a screenshot of the show Breaking Bad, to humorously express an emotion as part of (or in response to) the exchange.

“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era. 

“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”

This second picture is MUCH more accurate!

I had the exact same experience the second time I looked at this picture as the first time. I was looking like "what is this green line? Like suddenly everything is OK? It's not. Racists are still trying to push us back to 1619. Nothing has been fixed. We still need to fight. Hard!

To every insufferable "oooo don't pressure them" take in the notes:

It's not just about the estrogen. It's about the fact that they are openly admitting that they'd prefer to be a girl, passed "the button test", and openly state that it's really only internalized transmisogynistic caricatures about what trans women look like that are holding them back.

It's not the estrogen, it's the air of pre transition misery that mirrors what a lot of us felt while we were in the closet. The estrogen and denial is just part of that.

when they think we’re mutilating ourselves to the point that they pose as SRS doctors and literally mutilate us for their agenda. cis ppl don’t forget this

topsurgery.net is a site with lots of before + after pics categorised by surgeon. I encourage everyone with other resources on srs surgeons and their results to share them here, for mtf/mtx surgeries too please

[frottinq]

I think a really really funny idea to pop up in this recent anti-trans hysteria is the idea that someone needs consent to use a public restroom. like so many cis transmisogynists throw around "we don't consent to transgenders using our bathrooms" as if the act of a transgender woman pissing, literally in the privacy of a stall, is tantamount to a violation of someone's body. it's genuinely so beyond ridiculous it boggles the mind. i didn't consent to you pissing in a place where I can't even see you doing it.

[girldixieflatline]

they use that word deliberately because it evokes imagery of sexual assault tbh, thew view us being there as inherently violating so they describe it as if the violence has already happened.

i didnt consent to sharing a restroom with you. i didnt consent to seeing you exist in public. i don't consent to this fact of life and the fact you couldnt feasibly get me to consent to it means YOU are a predator now.

[theconcealedweapon]

You see this a lot with bigots. They take a boundary that would make sense for access to one's own body or one's personal property and try to apply it to access to people in general or public places.

You don't want someone in your house? That's fine. Your house is your personal property. You decide who's welcome there. You don't want someone in the country? Fuck off. The country is a public place, not your personal property.

You don't want to have sex with someone? That's fine. It's your body. You decide who has access to it. You don't want them having sex with others either, even when those others consent and there's no power imbalance? Fuck off. You don't get to decide what others do just because they don't fit your personal tastes.

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

[werewolf-transgenderism]

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

[werewolf-transgenderism]

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

[werewolf-transgenderism]

GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ
