it is wild to realize how everything about how we think about and describe gender and sexuality is, to some extent, entangled with the/a gender binary.
that’s a neutral statement, really. gender is a very abstract concept that, i feel, needs a linguistic and conceptual framework to really be discussed. even if it were not, the western binary is so deeply ingrained into culture that it defines how everyone experiences and thinks about gender, so it would still warrant reference. sexuality is more concrete - i suppose you could say measurable - but it’s still very much defined through gender and thus tied up in the same abstraction.
the binary, as it exists, can’t stay, but some of the base concepts are still linguistically useful; i do rather suspect the ideas of “man” and “woman” are natural ones, even if most of the baggage associated with them isn’t. at any rate, i found it oddly enlightening to see the greater shape of my own thoughts. it is interesting to think about how else things could be defined.
Splitting Open A Boulder Opal To See Its Beauty For The First Time
amazing how in over 12k notes, not one person has tried to source this, so i’ll do it:
this video belongs to Broken River Mining (https://www.instagram.com/brokenrivermining), who pride themselves as ethical opal miners in Australia. they post a ton of videos like this, and sell many of the opals they unearth! they care a lot about the earth and wildlife around them, so please check them out!!

i like got this splatoon stuck on my ceiling and im not able to get it down
youre not going to believe what object dislodged itself from the ceiling and began its descent to the floor, creating a loud meaty shlap sound upon impact, waking me up in the tender hours of the night

Here’s a line up!

morally grey/evil scientist characters are always like biochemical engineers or nuclear physicists or whatever but the people want VARIETY give me a story about a fucked up geologist for once
Convergent evolution is wild, bc like, crabs keep evolving to look the same but aren’t closely related, nature is just like: BIG MEATY CLAWS, little legs, pincers, head, tiny eyes, let’s do it again!
and trees look the same but oak trees are more closely related to rose bushes than they are pine trees, fucked up
nature just likes these damns shapes:
but on the other hand, mammals flying with powered flight?? That shit only happened ONCE and it had to do some janky shit to get there, especially with bat immune systems
like bat’s immune systems are HYPER-POWERED as well as repress most of their inflammatory reactions because in order to fly they needed a bonkers-high metabolic rate which unfortunately also create waste products from the process called “free radicals” that damage cells
however, despite these free radicals they manage to live up to FORTY YEARS, which is super long for a species their size, because their immune system are basically always ON and in an anti-viral state that make them incubators for disease due to warfare between their jacked immune systems and disease
bats are so gdamn weird, I love them, no other mammal has been able to copy off their homework and accomplish the same shape, and for that they are the anti-crab of the natural world, God bless
In like, seven years we’re gonna see a question on some bio-exam: 1. Bats are the opposites of Crabs. EXPLAIN:
