23/Demi/Bi/ Hispanic 🇲🇽 /She/They Hi! I use this place to gush about cartoons mostly. Multifandom! Occasional nsfw. Feel free to talk to me about any cartoon (or anime)! Oh! And I reblog funny stuff too! Icon by: @kkking Header by: https://linktr.ee/nerdbird_

Just gonnae post this to piss off any fash who see it.

This post is from 2019 and I consider it a litmus test for whether or not to take you seriously.

Want to see a dumpster fire? Feast your eyes on the notes.

Ok y’all brace yourselves cuz I just learned about a new animal

Yes, that is an animal. Yes, scientists refer to it as the purple sock worm. No, that’s not it’s real name, silly, it’s real name is Xenoturbella!

When these deep-sea socks were first discovered, no one knew what the fuck they were looking at (and, really, can you blame them?). They have no eyes, brains, or digestive tracts. They are literally just a bag of wet slop. DNA analysis initially seemed to indicate that they were related to mollusks, until the scientists realized that DNA sample was from the clams they had recently eaten (yes, they can eat with no organs. We don’t know how.)

Scientists then analyzed the data again and tentatively placed them in the group that includes acorn worms, saying that their ancestors probably had eyes, brains, and organs, but simplified as a response to their deep sea ecosystems.

Later DNA testing has since shown that they are their own thing! Xenoturbella, along with another simple and problematic to place creature called acoelomorphs, belong to their own phylum called Xenacelomorpha! This places them as the sister group to all bilateral animals. So, they just never evolved brains, eyes, or organs. They are a glimpse at a very primitive form of animal that never bothered to change, because apparently what they do works. Rock on, purple sock worm.

It's midnight here, so happy disability pride month to my fellow disableds, the chronically ill, and also to the temporarily abled.

If your activism doesn't include disability, you're sure as fuck going to wish it did.

Nothing about us without us ♿👊

As we are, so you will be. All health and ability is temporary.

i have a brain problem that prevents me from understanding people who need so much specifically newly-released TV shows that they're upset by the prospect of going a few months without new ones being produced

like they could stop making video games and books today and I wouldn't notice until sometime in 2026. honestly if they'd stop making new video games for a while that'd be kinda convenient. everyone take a break and let me catch up. I still haven't even played Persona 5.

find me in 2029 going "you guys heard about this red plumber dude? little bastard just loves to jump lol. anyway it sounds weird, I know, but I'm kinda getting into it"

i need some of y'all to consider that maybe the reason you're celebrated, welcomed, and prioritized in trans spaces isn't bc you're trans masc but bc you're white, thin, and conventionally attractive.

like i want you to think about all the trans people you say are being prioritized in trans spaces and ask yourself: were they black or african? indigenous? latine? south, east, or west asian? pacific islander? visibly not white? jewish or romani? visibly religious? disabled? fat and hairy? balding? because if the answer is "well not really" then these spaces aren't "centering trans mascs" they're centering whiteness and white beauty.
