some other taxonomic facts for you to get mad at evolution for, instead of "birds are dinosaurs"

  • "Insects are Crustaceans" (Pancrustacea)
  • "Dolphins are Hoofed Mammals" (Artiodactyl)
  • "Mushrooms are closer to Animals than they are to Plants" (Opisthokont)
  • "Hyenas are Cat-like" (Feliformia)
  • "Herpetology is a LYING BASTARD since Amphibians are equally close to Mammals and Reptiles, and there's no reason it should be included like that. if anything, Herpetology should be a parent science of Ornithology, since birds are reptiles. why the fuck are toads here??" (Amniota, Sauria)
  • "really, we're all just fish" (Sarcopterygii)

...that doesn't mean I'm predicting that in a millennium or so we'll all be androgynous, or announcing that I think we dammed well ought to be androgynous. I'm merely observing, in the peculiar, devious, and thought-experimemtal manner proper to science fiction, that if you look at us at certain odd times of the day in certain weathers, we already are.

Black Couple Says Texas Authorities Seized Their Newborn Because They Chose a Midwife Over a Hospital

Two weeks ago, Dallas parents Temecia and Rodney Jackson opted for a home birth for their newborn daughter, Mila, with licensed midwife Cheryl Edinbyrd. As of Thursday, she remains in the custody of Dallas Child Protective Services in what the Jacksons and their advocates at the Dallas-based, Black women-led birth and reproductive justice organization Afiya Center have likened to a “kidnapping.” Minutes before the start of a scheduled Thursday morning hearing for the couple to get their newborn back, the hearing was postponed to April 20th—two weeks from now.
