I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.
If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.
If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.
If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.
We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.
My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.

Richard Siken… Richard Fucking Siken. You asked RICHARD SIKEN if his poems were inspired by BUDDIE. Gay men do not exist in people’s heads except as props huh?

The most important thing in the battle about the “abortion problem” is that abortions should be safe, free and widely available to people who need or “want” them. Literally. That is all. Even before the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we were fighting a battle for that. We can argue about societal factors in the need for abortions after abortions are restored as a human right and made available. Now is not the time to spend your energy analyzing it. People are dying. There will always be a need for abortion, no matter what. There will never be a time where every pregnancy conceived is viable and wanted. That is not biologically possible.
I am saying this because I see comments all the time that are like “Abortion is a necessary evil. In an ideal world there will be no need for it. If only pregnant people had the resources to keep their precious little babies. But they don’t so I guess I’m pro-choice 🥺” and it makes me irate because that is not the core of the cause of the need for abortion. You are feeding into the misogyny the right has poured into the abortion debate by pretending it is caused by the downfall of the nuclear family and not a basic human need that will always exist. Unlearn that preconceived notion about what abortion is and who is getting them.

The spiral garden will rise again come planting season. Canberry is a fallidays post.
Yonic measuring cup and mathbook are, conversely, evergreen. A trickle throughout the year.
Tumblr app should have a tinder esque feature where it shows you the blogs in a 3 mile radius. No it shouldnt
