I am here. My baby is coming any day now, I’m 37 weeks tomorrow. She will be (or however she identifies later) a little mixed baby, hopefully will be able to navigate that ok. And whatever genetics we’re giving her. Oof, she’s moving oddly right now, she has no room in there anymore. Poor kid lol
all the right-wing judges besides clarence thomas were picked by bush and trump, meaning the decision to overturn roe v wade was made by two presidents who never won the popular vote
the best thing that we can do right now to fight for abortion rights is donating to your local abortion fund, especially in states with “trigger laws” or laws that will immediately take harsh measures to shut down abortion rights as soon as roe is overturned. If you don’t know your local abortion fund or states with trigger laws, here’s one in Texas, one in Louisiana, one in Georgia, one in West Virginia and one in Mississippi (all states with such “trigger laws”). There’s so many more beyond the handful i just listed here but times like these are the time to donate and support the incredible work that these organizations do for their communities.
sorry, better version of this post: here is the national abortion fund archive where you can find your local abortion fund and here’s an article from the cut about abortion funds explaining which states are trigger law states and the specific regulations around abortion they have (also links abortion funds themselves at the bottom)
I remember, or I swear there was like three in the series. She was some kind of demon or came back from the dead or like, a million of the stories. maybe they were abc movies, idk.
not ginger snaps, jawbreaker, 5ive girls, the craft, carrie, death day (much later), all cheerleaders die,
here in canada too
okyeah, I am catching up with the roe vs wade and then maybe global implications for that. in general it feels like the right that thinks they're oppressed, totally not oppressed- are doing their best to re-establish the status quo. pushing back because, you know. at least, here, too. we had ten minutes of choice, ten minutes of so called diversity.
A rain frog wakes up, yawns, rubs its eyes and crawls into its den.
“Crawls” does not even begin to do justice to the way that animal goes into its den. 😍

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh
The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale. the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going. To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang. Appreciate them while they are still here.
I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…
They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.
There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.
That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.
The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.
see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?
those are over a billion years old.
that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?
algae.
those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.
so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.
The earth is unfathomably ancient, and you garner no love from her when you insult her eldest children.
not only that, the Appalachians predate the Atlantic Ocean and were fragmented. they stretch across three continents, as Atlas in Africa and Caledonians in Europe as you can see here:
the Appalachians are way way old. the fossils that ARE found in these ranges are ancient marine beings, whose fossil remains predate the anatomical structures of beings migrating to land for the first time. THAT’S how old the Appalachians are.
show the elders some respect, they have witnessed eons and are returning to the land from which they grew, it’s the kind of the passage of time on a scale that our human lives could not even begin to comprehend.
Give me ALL the geology discourse
Also, the Rockies probably didn’t seem so tall in comparison when most of their current valley was simply just the bed of Lake Bonneville.
That’s a whole lotta words for a few lumps.
I love this post. I wanna note the epas1 genes etc and the commonalities of denisovan overlap in the mountainous area. Some of us, we adapted to the mountains, because, that's how it should be.
what the frick is going on in the US
not that racists and zealots and scared people aren't all coming out of the shadows here, but damn.

I told y’all the depp case was going to make times hard on abuse victims and people had the nerve to tell me I was blowing things out of proportion now look
Ask Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp are friends let that sink in for you.
Also very important to mention that both amber heard and Evan Rachel wood are both bi women. You’re going to be seeing biphobia you’re going to see misogyny.
You’re going to see more people being ableist.
You’re going to hear and see things that involve abuse I’m warning y’all again try not to dismiss me this time around
I mentioned bisexuality because bi women face a greater risk of abuse and it NEEDS to be talked about more
a queer woc lead on a disney film?? am i won over?? am i not?? it's only been 2 minutes, relax d.
is this written by millenials? but it's still like relatable content, they just used the term gateway gay which i have no clue if it's madeup or not but i see it xD xD
like is this going to be the disney 'but i'm not a cheerleader?' but there's a plenty of queer stuff out now but, do they survive? eugh. also so i also finished heartstopper, and i adored it, ngl.
edit: is it subpar?
i also finally finished killing eve, this week, minus the last 8 minutes. because i don't want to.
I told y’all the depp case was going to make times hard on abuse victims and people had the nerve to tell me I was blowing things out of proportion now look
Also Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp are friends let that sink in for you.
My feelings on it too.
The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case is, well, a total mess and neither come off great. I think you have to come to your own conclusions.
But with Manson…look, he did it. You’ve got several other woman coming forward and the fact he literally bragged about his obsessive and abusive behaviour in interviews, books and several of his song lyrics.
The man is guiltier than OJ.
everything’s terrible, do u think buying books would help
yes
