[flyawaymind]

Do you love random science facts and weird news? Would you like to learn more about topics similar to the Australian Emu Wars or the Great Molasses Flood? Well, if you haven't started listening to the podcast Hwat Weekly, you really, really need to. Please. This has been the best thing that happened in my life in the last month and I need more people to know about this. Basically, it's a weekly, politics-free news podcast where this guy Joe tells his girlfriend Finlay about every piece of news that she missed while in the Work Hole (tm). So far they've covered:

-Necropants

-The giga-goose

-Greek Orthodox Easter Firework Fights

-Corn sweat

-Anti time

-Mushroom houses

-Moon Goo

-A dramatic reading of the essay, "I Would Like To Put Lunch Meat On A Cybertruck."

And so, so much more. Hwat Weekly. Listen to it. Please listen to it. Just start from wherever, it's delightful. Spread the word and reblog this so that all people love random science facts and weird news can learn of this treasure. Look in your podcast app or go to this website:

i need well meaning cis people to stop attemping to steelman trans healthcare conversations because it basically always ends with them just lying about easily checkable things "no minors are getting irreversible treatments" wrong not true "no minors are having surgery" also false, like instead just say the truth: currently some minors (few, but some) are able to access hrt that will have some irreversible changes on their body, some (even fewer) minors are able to access surgery.

the counter to transphobes screaming "these kids are being irreversibly changed" isn't "no children are accessing this care" it's "puberty is also an irreversible change" and "i think under 18s and even under 16s should be able to make medical decisions actually"

"no minors are accessing this care" means that transphobes can easily point to the examples of minors who are accessing that care, which just make us look like liars. sometimes teenagers and children need to make medical choices on their own. i think a 14 y/o should be able to get an abortion. i think trans kids and teens should be able to have the approriate care, which for some will just be like, picking a new name or haircut, and for some, sure, could be surgery.

what if we were teammates of 19 years who said things like "i remember watching you play in latvia, thinking how lucky i was that i was going to be your teammate" and "sid saved me" and "only for pittsburgh, always with sid" and "i just always liked him from the start. always have. always will"... and we were both boys

(and what if sports reporters wrote alpha/alpha romance about us. what then.)

Video Fridays: Imagine | John Lennon | funk cover ft. India Carney/Scary Pockets

What’s that meme about one’s sense of peace being proportional to how much news one consumes? Alas, blissful ignorance almost buys into the scenario that human existence is only pain, suffering and dread with brief moments of silence, therefore ignoring all of it is the only “solution.” These past few weeks would seem to bare that out.  But I’m not one to promote that strategy toward dealing…
