Eclipse of the Sun in Venice in July 8, 1842 by Ippolito Caffi.
Can’t listen to Wagner without seeing Bugs Bunny in drag and frankly, I think that’s beautiful, especially since it’s probably making Wagner roll in his grave like a rotisserie chicken.
And also: this horse is channeling Chuck Jones so hard. Look at the backward-cast glance of the eye (at 0:13 of the video below) just before the the downhill run begins.
(BTW, part 1 of this remastered version of "What's Opera, Doc" is here; part 3 is here.)
...Seriously, if you've never watched this cartoon before, take a moment and do it now. This is one of the great classics of animation, no matter what century we're talking about. (And don't get me started about the [then-trendy] Vorticist opera-set backgrounds, and so many other details...)

today’s isopod is Armadillidium vulgare “Orange Vigor,” an orange mutation of the common pillbug or roly-poly.
they still show yellow scrawls and varying shades of base color like the wild gray form, with males tending to be dark and patternless and females brighter and with more markings.
isn’t it weird how toxic masculinity is still a thing when the aragorn/boromir forehead kiss should have obliterated it back in 2001

psa for cis people: it's not "women and people who menstruate," it's just people who menstruate. adding "women and" implies that
- the only relevant women are (menstruating) cis women, so there's no need to add any qualifiers (like "cis")
- womanhood is central to menstruation & menstruation is central to womanhood by unnecessarily bringing up gender right before using a gender neutral phrase
just say people who menstruate. women who menstruate are people. saying "women and people who menstruate" is a nonsense phrase that only serves to soothe the egos of cis women. they can cope with not having their ciswomanhood centered, I promise.
Also if you think that’s “too long”, sometimes you can just say people and the context implies that you’re talking about people who menstruate. A sentence like “people who menstruate should have better access to menstrual hygiene products” and “people should have better access to menstrual hygiene products” mean the same thing. “women with period cramps are so brave” and “people with period cramps are so brave” is another example. just using people in thag context makes it clear you mean people who menstruate.
Also fuck the weird trend of saying women, trans men and femmes to talk about people who menstruate. Or AFAB people. Not all AFABs menstruate not all women or trans men menstruate. And femmes has absolutely nothing to do with menstruation. It’s so baffling thag people genuinely think this is inclusive language.

Fellas, is it gay to get down on one knee, ask for another man's hand, and give him a ring as proof of your vow?
