I don't actually care about actors needing to be queer to play queer roles because that leads to very bad outcomes with forcing people out of the closet BUT I do think we should hire a more out gay people to play straight roles. And they should be vocally disgusted with it in interviews and visibly bad at it on screen. You know, to balance things out
This is where we need that interview with Sir Ian McKellen where he explains he was able to do a heterosexual scene because his friend and fellow-actor Edward Petherbridge drew him some how-to diagrams.
Aaah, so NPH playing Barney in HIMYM.
every year some clueless dumbasses get upset like "gays and drag queens at the eurovision??!?" yeah bruh, breaking news, fork found in the kitchen, i genuinely dont understand why you're surprised
Today I spotted a Robin nest in one of the apple trees. It looked fresh and had no eggs in it so I decided to take a chance and put a Birdsy camera there. It was so cute to see the bird sing while in the nest.

For now I am offering prints of a selection of 12 different pieces of mine, but I may expand the range to include more pieces (new and old) depending on people’s interest
Animal welfare = a science based approach to the needs of animals, taking the needs and behaviour of different species into account and ensuring they are treated humanely and cared for in ways that allow them to live good lives
Animal rights = an emotional approach based on the feelings of individuals who do not necessarily understand the animals they are advocating for, who often group all species needs and behaviours as one and who may end up causing more suffering to animals through failing to understand their actual needs.
Looks to me like she got fun with Lapras

I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto. The motto was “I hear, I see, I learn.” Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for “I hear, I see, I learn” is “audio, video, disco”.
What the fuck that’s the best school motto ever change it back

“Scio” is Latin for I learn, 90% sure disco isn’t Latin at all. Sorry to kill the buzz

Buzz killed, but I don’t mind. That motto, even if wrong, is great
buzz has been revived. disco, first person active singular, from disco, discere. scio, on the other hand, is know/understand.
disco, discere also gave us “disciple” and “discipline” while scio, scire gave us “science”
disco comes from discotheque, which originally meant “record library” on the model of “bibliotheque” - but the disco in this context seems to have just been a combining form of “disque” (see also compact disk) and is thus from Latin discus/Greek diskos (see also the sport) rather than discere.
audio and video do have straightforward links between the technologies and the Latin verbs.

Autistic superiority ideas are just as popular as they are problematic
...not only that, but learning from people of all different neurotypes is good, actually
you can understand a thing and see its usefulness without becoming or wanting to become that thing
if i see one more post saying that all the bills and all the transphobia that is currently targeting trans mascs right now is “actually just a product of transmisogyny” i’m actually going to go fucking insane. the bills specifically written to “keep young girls from mutilating their breasts and destroying their fertility” are not a product of transmisogyny, they’re a product of transphobic bioessentialism that seeks to “put us in our place”, to tell us that no matter how hard we try, we will never be anything but baby makers and potential sex interests for white cishet men. yes, the bathroom bills and sports bills are a product of transmisogyny, and they affect all trans people. but i’m quite frankly real fucking sick of people ignoring the very real and specific ways trans people who were afab are being targeted by the government and by bigots.
This right here is the issue I have with very specific micro identifications of oppressions.
It's not that I think transmisogyny doesn't EXIST, or isn't a THING, or isn't VERY VERY BAD. It can and does get people killed, and in ways most cis women have no need to even be scared of.
But very often, patterns of oppression like this are bigger than just "I hate one subset of women who I connect with everything that I think is bad about men."
This one, for example, is as much about modified bodies being framed as inferior/monstrous/tainted as it is about gender roles. That not only affects trans men as OP rightly says, but it balloons outward to pretty much all medicalized bodies, disabled bodies, "deformed" bodies, etc.
We should have lots of words for how this specifically affects lots of us! It's important to talk about that! But we shouldn't let our own words drive us apart.
We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.
Hey. I need everyone to know that the group Hexapoda (which is basically insects + very closely related six-legged friends) got moved to be within Crustaceans. Insects are a highly derived form of crustacean and that makes me uncomfy and very much rocked my taxonomic world. Like, I can get behind birds being a kind of reptile, but bugs being a kind of crustacean is worse.
Almost as bad as learning that this year reindeer and caribou went from being one species to being six species. No longer are reindeer and caribou the same thing.
Why must cladistics keep mindfucking me.
Your hometown has “culture,” but does it have a 13 foot, bright orange, bug-eyed t-rex with weirdly human teeth
We are not the same
Oh yeah? Well my hometown has this fine late Victorian lad.
An allegedly real not at all shitty fake frog taxidermy that tourists pay real money to look at.

We have BLUCIFER. Killed his creator.
My hometown has this massive Paul Bunyan statue on top of a Cafe.
I see your Paul Bunyan and raise you The Big Chicken.
Actually my hometown does have a different orange dinosaur with weirdly human teeth.
My town has this
my home town has whatever this thing is
Official Name: The Spire
AKA: The Erection at the Intersection
I appreciate that every Dublin monument has a rhyming nickname and that I now know THREE for this one
my city has this nonsense
My city rotates it's public art installations every year, but last year had an excellent roundabout sculpture. His name is Dad and he is made of Utah license plates.
i think a lot of people who have never cared for a baby and have no conscious memory of using diapers or any other incontinence product don't realize that people really aren't supposed to be sitting in soiled pads/diapers for extended periods of time. like the point of the pad/diaper is to prevent the soiling of clothes and whatever else we might be sitting on, and to give us enough time to get somewhere where we can change.
if you sit in a wet/soiled diaper (or underwear) for longer than 2-3 hours, it starts to get really painful and irritate the skin. this can lead to painful rashes, which can get infected. this is especially serious because many people who use incontinence products are also immunocompromised, and infections from sitting or walking around in a wet diaper can become extremely dangerous very quickly.
this is why we need to amend the ADA's guidelines for accessible bathroom requirements to include adult changing tables. i'm very lucky in that i'm mobile enough to change myself in a stall, but many people who deal with incontinence are not, and need full assistance with changing. being stuck outside in a soiled product is painful and dangerous, and significantly disabled people deserve better.
