little sister accidentally sends a nude to their older sister
they immediately storm into her bedroom, and before she can do or say anything, they rip her phone out of her hand. it's open. she's already seen it.
they delete it from the chat history, and open her photos (over her protests) to make sure she didn't save or screenshot it to humiliate them with later. once they're sure she hasn't, they toss the phone at her and stomp out in a fury. back in their own room, they flop face-down into bed, fighting back tears, red with shame. their stomach is churning with embarrassment and self loathing and — deep down — an emotion which they've been trying to ignore for a long time. they shove it back down, disgusted with themself. she probably knows what i feel. probably even thinks the pic was intentional. she definitely knows what a fucking freak i am now.
they lay there motionless for a few minutes before they hear a soft knock at their door. they ignore it, hoping it's not her, hoping she'll just go away, but after a pause comes a second knock. after the third, the door creaks open, and they hear her voice behind them.
"you can chill out, okay? it's not that big a deal, you don't need to be so pissy about it." it's the voice that only siblings use with each other, the tone of exasperation hiding genuine concern. "it's an easy mistake, just a wrong button press. it's happened to me too. i'm not gonna tell anyone."
silence. little sister hasn't moved an inch. every muscle in their body is tense as they dig their palms into their eyes and wish the floor would open up and swallow them.
"....besides," she says. they hear her turning to go. "why would i be upset, anyway? you're hot as fuck."
they barely hear the click of the door closing behind her as she leaves. they're frozen. every thought is wiped from their mind, their sister's words echoing in their ears. that was a joke, right? did she actually just say that?
back in her room, their sister hurriedly locks her door and puts her back against it. she slides down it and comes to rest on the floor with a thud. her heart is hammering against her chest.
did i actually just say that? why did i say that??? she grimaces and puts her head in her hands. well, it's official. i've ruined everything. they know what a huge fucking creep i am now.
Glasses-frames being sorted into men's and women's... It's just insane, how much gender there is everywhere.
they want you to care more about 'job' than yuri... don't fall for this scam

it's a little thing but it annoys me that both blue marble and hello world (photos of earth taken from the apollo 17 and artemis II missions respectively) are South pole up but people often crop and rotate them to be the 'correct' orientation. appreciate our beautiful planet in all her directions smh.

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple
the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!
Btw the thing this discovered is like. A foundational lab technique now and has revolutionized genetics

today i learned that early 20th century German lesbian, researcher and nudist Jan Gay (who changed her name to Jan Gay because she didn't like her father, and also did this around the time "gay" was becoming a colloquial term for homosexual) for a number of years dated dance instructor and activist Franziska Boas (who pioneered dance therapy and apparently had entirely unrelated bachelor degrees in zoology and chemistry) whose father was Franz Boas, the father of American anthropology. small world amongst lesbians
here's Jan (on the left) & her girlfriend before Boas, Zhenya Gay (she took Jan's surname) who was a children's book author and illustrator, and worked on a number of books with Jan, & then Franziska from her college years
btw when i say "nudist" i don't mean casually i mean she wrote a book in 1932 called "On Going Naked" (with decorations by Zhenya). unfortunately i can't find the book free online anywhere but here's the description:
Jan Gay went to the nudist colonies in Germany last summer not, as have other writers, to be initiated in a daring and unfamiliar rite, but with a long and honorable record in the private practice of nakedness before she joined in these public manifestations abroad. "On Going Naked" tells the story of her revolt as a little girl against the too-numerous and too-scratchy clothes of her childhood. It records a number of encounters with the Law and private citizens who object to nakedness. This book describes with more humor than certain others on the subject the routine and the personnel of nudist organizations, although it does not fail to acknowledge the importance of this movement to the health and morals of its participants, or its social significance in present-day Germany. The French, the German, the Scandinavian, and the American attitudes toward nakedness are contrasted not only in theory but through the first-hand observation and participation of the author. Above all Miss Gay justifies the nudists not alone for the merit of their proceedings, but in the deep individual joy of going naked. This, she writes, is in her personal experience . . .
truly can you imagine a lesbian nudist couple both publishing books on nudism and children's books and not being blown to smithereens in this century. miss gay you were doing it like no other
The Highlander fanfic dive is taking me beyond AO3, and it's making me appreciate all over again how comparatively normalized male homosexuality is now.
The fact that the sex is gay was something that got warned for on the same level as noncon and torture, that's just how it was and we more or less rolled with it.
This isn't news to me, I was there Gandalf, but getting it as a blast from the past like this is just impressing on me how far we've come in how short a time
These sites are from the late 90s through the mid 2000s.
Massachusetts was the first US state to legalize gay marriage in 2003, gay marriage became legal on the federal level in the US in 2015, Lawrence v. Texas, the US court case that ruled that criminalizing "sodomy" (which is basically any sex two cis men can have) is unconstitutional was in 2003.
To keep yawping, AO3 about killed this dead by setting m/m (and f/f and "other") as categories rather than as archive warnings. If it had been anyone but a bunch of disgruntled slash shippers designing a fiction website at that time, Here There Be Gay Stuff would be a required warning alongside noncon and graphic violence, and m/f would be an unspoken default that couldn't be filtered on.
I find the first screenshot, the simplest one, the most telling. The work doesn't have anything else to warn for, and NC-17 already tells us it's sexually explicit, but it still has to point out the homosexuality as an extra unwanted thing.

next time they do something like this we need to remember that it only took one day of us complaining nonstop to revert the changes. never let anyone tell you that being a hater gets no results
