This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

WRONG!! OWTC is the building that was build to replace the twin towers after 9/11

reblog if you can't wait to come over to my house and be nude

[nradiowave]

Afina-A & Afina-B prototypes

[byjove]

I know this is kind of a hot take but I think creating a religious ethnostate is bad

[byjove]

I actually think it is still bad even if it is a religious ethnostate for a highly oppressed ethnicity and religion. I just don’t think it’s a good idea

[elierlick]

This energy though

The amount of transphobes that just don't know anything about swords or fencing is fucking killing me. Firstly, alot of fencing competitions are gender neutral. Secondly even if someone who did have a massive strength advantage entered a fencing competition that still wouldn't help them too much because a duel with swords is very rarely decided on strength. It doesn't matter how strong you are, if your opponent hits you that's a point for them. Fencing is won entirely by fucking knowing how to fence, shockingly.

Also, anybody commenting "Why is her hair greasy. She needs to wash her hair" needs to step outside the house like atleast once in their life. Girl just won a fencing competition and she was wearing one of these 👇 the whole time

SHE WAS FUCKING SWEATY

this post was brought to my attention today and I checked her twitter and this made me happy

transition timelines are one of the greatest things we have in the world

one of the worst parts of entering an established fandom is reading through the tags and realising with a dawning horror that fans have collectively decided to give one of the characters a horrible, non-canonical, cutesy nickname

everyone's talking about the ibs/autism haha funny comparison thing while I'm still stuck on the concept that hamsters exist in the wild. like naturally

tf do you mean they're a wild creature. you find those ankle-biters at the pet store

[psshaw]

Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:

Shit. This dude knows an extreme amount about a niche subject. Crazy what you can accomplish when you have treatment resistant IBS

[psshaw]

I want it on record that I shit mostly normal.

[headspace-hotel]

Seems legit

[headspace-hotel]

we all hear about kudzu being introduced as "erosion control" in the South but I don't think contemporary people understand on a gut level what that means

these are images from a 1930s pamphlet that endorsed kudzu, entitled "stop gullies: save your farm"

It was Bad.

[headspace-hotel]

Invasive plants need to be understood as part of a much larger cycle of incredible violence against the land.

[peat-moss-and-starlight]

For context: erosion on that scale occurred as a result of our clear-cutting entire states. The land east of the Mississippi used to be covered in old-growth forest to an extent that we literally can’t imagine anymore, because most of us have never seen a forest over 100 years old. It turns out if you remove all vegetation from a landscape, you end up with a bunch of loose soil ready to move downstream. A fast-growing plant that covers everything in dense vegetation sounds like salvation when you’re surrounded by 40-foot deep gullies that get wider with every rainstorm.

[transhuman-priestess]

Wait

I’m having a connection moment here.

I remember hearing (20ish years ago) that the Mississippi River delta grows in size by some mind-boggling number ever year

Is that due to this kind of erosion?

[jimmyhoffathecat]

I think he’s threatening me

[ash-rigby]

mutuals even if I don't talk to you much/at all, when I see you on my dash I'm doing this

[transhuman-priestess]

Men absolutely do benefit from society positioning them as head of household/"the breadwinner," but it also absolutely destroys them too. I've watched my dad completely fall apart over the last 5 years when my mom divorced him because he built his entire identity up on being The Guy In Charge of the Household. Because that's what he's expected to be.

And it's completely stunted his ability to express any emotions, because since he had to be The Rock Upon Which the Family Rests, he never let himself show any fear or anxiety because it he does that, then he's got to also comfort everyone else in the house while trying to not destroy himself with worry.

It's very tempting to look at my dad as the villain of my story but I can't help but view him as the victim of his own story, too. Patriarchy absolutely does hurt men, and I don't think that's a mutually exclusive position to hold with "women are hurt most by patriarchy."

[lexisrants]

hate when men complain about how theyre not allowed to be vulnerable and people will be like "and who set that system up?" as a gotcha moment. stop acting like patriarchy was funded by calling in Every Man Ever in a room and letting them all singularly decide if they wanted it. patriarchy hurts everyone in different ways, they're allowed to complain and you shutting them down and telling them to stop complaining are doing exactly what toxic masculinity wants you to enforce
