I also found an Alice touhou figurine today! I will post her later once i am home.
like its clear that a large number of "AFAB trans women" are consciously trying to hurt trans women; intentionally using it to muddy the waters of transfem terminology, to 'gotcha' the idea that woman is an identity, and to position themselves as authorities on trans womanhood
and i also think there are people (mostly kids it looks like) who genuinely think "AFAB trans woman" is an accurate description of their gender and experience.
but when asked, it becomes clear that these peoples' definition of trans woman is "kinda a woman but not really because i have this connection to maleness and masculinity" because in order for "afab trans woman" to feel right to you you need to have a definition of trans woman other than "woman who happens to have been AMAB" and well. thats probably going be a shitty one.
Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!
These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.
But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.
This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.
Please keep work place safety in mind at all times
I just slapped a bunch of shit on here and went yeah thats what i wear now
at some point, we're really gonna have to start talking about how popular queer media correlates wanting sex with no strings attached with traits like being manipulative, exploitative, abusive, or even predatory. because queer media can talk big game about how aromanticism is cool and valid, but they still turn around and make the antagonist someone who doesn't want a relationship. you support us in name only, you don't wanna give a second's thought to the actual experiences of aromantics. "oh, but this character isn't aromantic!! they're just afraid of commitment!!!" do you have any idea how often actual aromantics are told that shit.
Sometimes it does feel weird talking about NSFW bans because you either see it discussed in the sense of "NSFW bans are bad because the systems just randomly shoot innocent queer people!" or "The NSFW was bad (supposedly) but all the weirdos who jacked off to porn went away so things are nicer now" and its like
man that's great meanwhile I don't think Mastercard should decide if I pay someone to draw Cynthia from Pokemon being brainwashed or not.

it’s so evil when you have a beverage and you drink it and then there’s no beverage anymore
