Welcome! @sayitinred - Tumblr Blog

u know that thing where an animals grow in a far off place and some idiot introduces him to a new habitat and it turns out its characteristics that help them in their own sometimes are too helpful in the new one and they become like an invasive species yeah thats the word i was missing anyway back to my point i think i saw a human version of that just now i was driving in tonights snow storm and i saw a man wearing a big ass cowboy hat to keep the snow off him and a bandit red bandana to keep it off his face and a big ass pancho to keep him warm and nice ass cowboy boots to keep his calves dry and he was prancing along while everyone on the road looked miserable and frozen solid and idk i guess the point im trying to make here is i feel like cowboys would have taken over russia if given the chance or something

As an Evolutionary Biologist, this is a roller-coaster from start to finish.

Men want her. Women want to be her. Children befriend her but their parents fear her. Doctors hate her and police officers' heads explode in her presence.

Scientific consensus on her nature and origins has not been reached.

Authorities warn civilians to stay away from her and report any sightings immediately.

Grammatically speaking, Pronouns are a game we play with society.

A crew of sailors discuss their ship. “her mast is strong but the sails need changin. She’s a beaut though.”

I see a fancy rock on my hike. I pick it up, turn to my friend and say “Look at him, he’s so handsome”

A group of our sparkling Gay gentlemen meet up for a night out. “Girl, Daniel’s serving up looks tonight. Queen! She’s stunning love. She’s killin it.”

My neighbor needs a cup of sugar, I take some to them.

My lesbian friend wants to introduce me to her fellow female partner. “There’s Star, he’s wearing the blue jacket. Let’s catch up with him”

What’s real is how respect for one another makes us feel. He/him lesbians deserve your respect.

Pronouns are also more related to gender presentation than gender itself for some people!

Lesbians calling themselves “fathers”, “husbands”, “boyfriends”, “handsome”, and other words associated with men are a part of their gender presentation as masculine women as well as their reclamation of the idea that “lesbians just want to be men”. He/Him pronouns is just a part of that!

thank you @national-shitpost-registry

This really isn’t a new thing, either. I’ve met old camp gay men who use female pronouns and refer to their equally male friends as sister, and I’ve met old butch women who use masculine pronouns and words for themselves.

People act like this is some weird new tumblr trend but it’s been a part of (at least) anglophone queer culture for fucking ages, and I’d imagine it turns up in other languages too.

it’s sometimes hard to believe rasputin was real. like there’s no non-fucked up part of rasputin’s existence

bigthecat

did he do something problematic i thought he was just russia’s greatest love machine

the-itchy-bitchy-spider

basic (true) story: fanatical russian monk who has almost never shaved or washed and smells like goats shows up at the russian capital with a creepy look on his beardy face and everyone just assumes he’s a prophet or a saint because he’s got a cult following that believes he can cure illnesses. his stans are sexually obsessed with him and he gets just a fuckton of russian pussy wherever he goes cause apparently he can cure his true believers of illness with god-given dick magic. russia’s queen has him come stay at the palace and sets him up in luxury because she thinks he can cure her son’s haemophilia with the power of russian goat jesus, and they (allegedly) become lovers, probably, ‘cause she craves that unwashed goat-scented dick like the rest of his cult which she now (allegedly) belongs to.

then the worst assassins in the history of assassinations try to assassinate him, because all of russia is slutshaming the queen he has too much power over the royal family and it’s helping revolutionaries turn people against the royals. so these idiots have him round for tea and cakes which are poisoned with cyanide, but he is magically unaffected by poison they get the dose wrong and he doesn’t die, and then he drinks three glasses of wine, which are also poisoned, and he doesn’t die, so they tell him to look at a crucifix and shoot him in the chest with a revolver when he isn’t looking, and he doesn’t die, but they think he’s dead so one of them dresses in his clothes and gets driven to his apartment to make it look like he’s gone home to hide the crime, and when they come back he gets up and attacks them, so they stab him in the side with a knife, and he doesn’t die, and then he frees himself and runs outside, so they shoot him a few times more, including in the forehead, and they wrap his body up and chuck him in the icy river, and he doesn’t go into the water, so his body is found on the ice the next day. and get this…. he died…. of hypothermia.

additionally, everyone who wasnt in the party of getting rid of rasputin was pretty bummed out when they found him and his miracle dick dead the next day and there was a pretty bangin funeral of which the royal family themselves attended. however after the tsar was overthrown a few month later they exhumed his body and burned it because the new leadership was very adamant about making sure there were no ties left to honor the old monarchy. however this dudes body had never been properly prepped for a cremation which meant that under the extreme heat his tendons and ligaments began to retract and shrink causing his dead body to move and twitch around as if still animate. according to some testimony his body actually sat up straight on the pyre, and at least one spectator fired a gun at the body and another may have allegedly died of shock.

theawkwardqueerturtle

op was right. there’s no non-fucked up part of this dude’s existence. even his second funeral was fucked

This Monday’s moment of zen brought to you by glow-in-the-dark corals.

In 2020, a team of MBARI researchers filmed bioluminescence from a variety of deep octocorals (soft corals, sea pens, and gorgonians) in their own habitat for the first time. The scientists worked with the pilots of the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts to equip the vehicle with an extremely light-sensitive video camera. Since many animals only glow when disturbed, they filmed the animals while gently touching them with the ROV’s manipulator arm or a soft paint brush. They found that many of the most common deep-sea corals can create their own light, including several groups not previously known to glow. The researchers also analyzed the animals’ DNA to look for the genes that might be creating the luminescence.

Most glowing animals produce light by combining a light-producing chemical, luciferin, and a protein, luciferase. Many of the deep-sea corals examined contained a type of luciferin called coelenterazine, and they all contained a form of luciferase that reacts with coelenterazine (and oxygen) to produce blue light. However, some sea pens described in this study gave off a greenish glow. This is because they also contain green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP absorbs the blue light produced by the luciferin-luciferase reaction and re-emits it as green light. GFP is known to be an effective biomedical tracer used, for example, in tracking diseases. GFP is found in a wide assortment of shallow corals and jellies as well, suggesting that octocorals evolved the ability to glow very early in their evolutionary history.
