i wasn’t on tumblr when the kyoshi books came out but? i assume everyone was on that right? they are gay?
i wish disco elysium was on the nintendo wii
you understand my vision
Everyone agrees! Your intestines squirming around like eels in your belly is horrifying!
IM SORRY THEY FUCKING WHAT NOW?
The racks even have hooks to keep them from squirming right off and onto the floor apparently. They desperately want to escape our bodies
Intestines are muscles, and function involuntarily. If your muscles did not squirm around, then they wouldn’t be able to move food through them, thus you wouldn’t gain any nutrients from anything you eat, and the food would spoil and make you sick. I agree the squirmy wormies are a bit unsettling, but hey it’s actually really good for you! Your intestines work so hard for it! Please give them a little love.
I don’t like that get them out
Okay…this is unsettling.
This post is actually my nightmare
Breaking News! You are full of eels!
Thanks, I hate it!
ok now lets hear from the people who think this fucks and is cool as hell
are you mad at me. have you been mad at me. will you be mad at me. when will you be mad at me
o ya babby ., shrampp
Felt you would all enjoy this
is it ao3 or is it sports media
shes licking her lips because the milk in the baba looks so scrumptious to her. Becausee of course, she is just a baby and that is all she can eat for now until she grows up big and strong and when she eats a leaf for the first time it will blow her mind
Asking for professional references is the most embarrassing thing on planet earth. "Hi can you tell people I'm smart and nice and pretty" what if we all just ran out into the streets and rent our garments publically
embracing the patterned ambiguity of gender and sex as more or less social constructs can grant you so much more precision in thinking about so many concepts in science.
like, if there was a study (and I'm just making this up as an example) showing women suffer from mosquito bites more than men do
you could do the ~"Gender Critical"~ thing and go "see!? mosquitoes get it!!"
OR
you could go "that's interesting" and start asking more questions, like:
- is this data self-reported? controlled?
- were they studying the women or the mosquitoes?
- did the study use methods that would let you tell the difference between "being bitten more often" and "noticing bites more often"?
- did the study include any trans people and were their results any different? if yes were they on HRT or not?
- how similar were the men and women in aspects other than gender? do we know their social class, jobs, diets, blood types?
because in fact the study i made up just then could lead to a huge variety of conclusions. from my description above you can't tell the difference between studies that show:
- mosquitoes are attracted to people with higher estrogen levels
- mosquitoes are opportunistic and women spend more time near mosquito habitats for sociocultural reasons
- every gender gets bitten about the same amount but men are socialised to pay less attention to physical discomfort so more of them don't notice minor bites compared to women (and by more we mean like 60-40, this is a bell curve thing)
- we accidentally got heaps of women in the study that have the mosquito's favourite blood type and not so for the men, oops
- mosquitoes are attracted to people with more x and y in their diets, which is currently mostly women for, again, largely sociocultural reasons
etc etc etc
you're just not going to understand actual Gender Science, and therefore reality, if you can't put "hmm, but what do they mean by woman this time" in your mental toolkit in a relatively neutral way.
Honestly this is a great way of presenting the kind of scientific literacy that is needed in an era of clickbait headlines and sound bites and facts that turn into memes; so much science "news" as reported by mass media distills nuanced studies into easily quotable and shocking one-liners that generally ignore the context behind the statistic.
SEASON ONE DYNAMIC-
Zine interest check open! Link in bio!
i was telling the Boy (husband) about arakita earlier because we passed by a bunch of extremely loud bikers and i was really struck by how gay its character arc is. like the narrative doesn’t make sense otherwise. you threw away your entire life and did the reverse sandy from grease to impress a guy you weren’t in love with? sure you did.
