once you realise that fandoms are shaped by white fans and a lot of these fans hold very conservative and reactionary views when it comes to their personal relationship to things all the while professing they’re the fourth wave of feminism or whatever, you stop caring about what any of these people think and you find peace

Brahminy Blindsnake aka Flowerpot Snake (Indotyphlops braminus), family Typhlopidae, found in tropical and subtropical areas around the world
This snake is native to somewhere along the Indian Ocean, possibly somewhere in SE Asia or coastal Africa.
The fossorial (burrowing) snake feeds mainly on the larvae, pupae, and eggs of ants and termites.
All known specimens of this snake have been female. They reproduce through parthenogenesis (asexually).

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
(save the images to zoom in on the pics)

These creatures are the sole focus of my life, the source of my happiness, my obsession and fixation. And they don’t even have a single thought in their heads! Here’s some fan art of my cats to honor their clueless little souls 🖤

Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.
–THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. As a sterile cis woman who doesn’t want to have children anyway I feel this is every ounce of my being. “Define woman” types tend to do so in a way that excludes me too, so I got to stand with my trans sisters.
#if you feel happy with the idea of bearing and rearing children#that's absolutely valid#that doesn't mean that you're a misogynist#it doesn't define you as a mother or a woman either#but that's just my opinion
