Merry has 1 braincell and it’s currently being used to try and seduce himself because he is the stupidest animal on the planet

[id: Merry, the orange patterned cornsnake, chasing himself on some wood in his enclosure, twitching furiously to indicate to his imaginary mate that he’s ready to Make Babies.]

The thing about the r slur is that people who are using it again are indeed using it as a slur. This isn't a word that is being reclaimed. This is a word that is once again being used 100% as a slur. You're being a bigot if you're using it against others. Straight up. There isn't another argument to be made. Knock it tf off.

The two main characters of my short story Airsled, Vrazi the diver avian and Piawii the pygmy avian.You can read more about their species here. Vrazi is holding the cord of money they used to buy Piawii’s indentured labor, and Piawii is holding Vrazii’s tea pipe.

The tea pipe was a funny compromise that turned into worldbuilding, because Vrazi felt like the type of character to smoke a cool pipe, but avian lungs are too delicate to handle the high concentration of airborne particulates found in leaf smoke. Smoke inhalation has a lot more immediately deleterious effects to them than to humans. I split the difference by giving them a steaming hot cup of [insert addictive stimulant here] with a pipe-like handle for drinking on the go. 

This design got turned into stickers and put on the back cover of the new printed edition.

People are really starting to forget that Emily Willoughby is a fucking Nazi. Her artistic talent is irrelevant to the fact that she's a eugenicist piece of shit. For reference, her PhD was just "white people are genetically predisposed to having a higher intelligence than people of color". She has never taken accountability and has continued to double down with the classic "sorry but that's just the truth". There are professional paleontologists on Facebook praising her. Why is she still allowed in these circles or anywhere in science? Why are her opinions still valued?

Her continued presence in these spaces puts people's complacency on full display. She throws people of color and Jews under the bus and the fact that she hasn't been fully shut out tells me a lot about our field.

Acanthodes “A fossil discovered near Hamilton, Kansas in the Upper Carboniferous Hamilton Formation, and published in 2014 as Acanthodes bridgei was so well-preserved that traces of its eye tissue were sufficient to establish that Acanthodes had both rod and cone photoreceptor cells, and thus profited from color vision “

lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it

casting these before getting out of bed like buff spells before a raid boss
