[at Achilles's funeral] Agamemnon: *places his hand on the pyre and sobs* Agamemnon: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.

IT'S SO EASY TO JO-OIN A CULT!"

If you ask someone “what is a Man?” they’ll probably start talking about the enterprises of the human spirit, and a history of expansion and exploration, and how a life is made up of values and achievements and goals and sacrifices — but if you ask someone “what is a Woman?” they’ll start talking about fallopian tubes or something

Your tag "when you're trans, both masculinity and femininity become weapons against you at any given moment" really resonated with me. Its a powerful and succint way of saying it

I also often say trans people regardless of actual identity are schroedinger's gender- you are whatever gender is convenient for the person hurting you to harm you with at any given moment. If they believe calling you a woman will hurt you, they'll use that. If a man, they'll use that instead. If they can completely degender you, they will. And it will change based on the second, many times.

tbh i think acting like being a feminist w any spine and not coddling men is somehow transmisogynistic IS transmisogynistic . trans women are my sisters and the patriarchy and male sexual violence and misogyny effect them just as much as they do me if not more so. you are literally just calling trans women men in a roundabout way.

Gilgidu girlies represent 💅

every time i see someone call kirk and spock the oldest ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "hmm actually the holmes and watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is gilgamesh and enkidu

They found that the bat noises are not just random, as previously thought, reports Skibba. They were able to classify 60 percent of the calls into four categories. One of the call types indicates the bats are arguing about food. Another indicates a dispute about their positions within the sleeping cluster. A third call is reserved for males making unwanted mating advances and the fourth happens when a bat argues with another bat sitting too close. In fact, the bats make slightly different versions of the calls when speaking to different individuals within the group, similar to a human using a different tone of voice when talking to different people. Skibba points out that besides humans, only dolphins and a handful of other species are known to address individuals rather than making broad communication sounds. The research appears in the journal Scientific Reports.

I love rats. They're really sweet and clever but also *just* sinister enough that if you have a pet rat and name her something like Thimbletack and give her a lil hat you could just about convince yourself that she's a little imp creature sent from the Dark Powers to help you with your wicked little schemes ☺️

My reinterpretation of an illustration from a cup by the Sosias painter (circa 5th c. BCE) depicting Achilles bandaging Patroclus. The Trojan War is said to have taken place in the late Bronze age, so I wanted their armor to reflect that aesthetic.

I know there’s an existing post somewhere, but here’s the list of OBGYNs in the USA and other countries that will perform tubal ligation (aka female sterilization) without arguing with you

EDIT: this list is not mine. It has been curated by Dr. Fran Haydanek, here is her instagram
