i love this cat from the national geographic website page for 'domestic cat'.. shes so gorgeous, soulful, delicate with curious thoughtless eyes like that of an autism creature.. that inquisitive look over one shoulder, her one nose freckle, the elegantly wavy whiskers,, cat with the pearl earring type beast
i see no difference
Girls will say "I just need to lie down for a little while" and then sink into a muddy river and get all their hard.tissues replaced with mineral deposits
Why is a god losing to a vegetable?????
ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT HORUS BABY TRAPPED HIS UNCLE WITH LETTUCE?????
In Horus' (and Isis', who is the one who actually performed the act of dressing the lettuce with the semen) defence, Seth did first try to rape him to disprove his claim on the throne.
Also related fun fact: In one iteration of this myth, the semen is asked to come out of Seth through his ear, which it does in the shape of a golden halo. Thoth then snatches the halo from Seth and puts it on his own head as the moon. So in this case, Seth is technically responsible for birthing the moon.
Just to clarify from my understanding of this myth, the reason Horus babytrapped his uncle with cum-lettuce is because Seth (as previously stated) tried to rape him to show that he was unfit for leadership--and then spread the message that Horus was a bottom and therefore shouldn't be king.
Except Horus and his mother came up with the cunning "make him eat cum-lettue" plan, so when Seth went bragging that he'd fucked Horus, the gods used their X-ray vision to see that it was actually Seth who had semen inside him, how embarrassing.

instant gratification monkey my beloved
I have incurable Woman In The Margins Of The Story disorder.
She’s dead she’s immortal she’s haunting you she doesn’t care about you she’s muzzled she’s screaming at the top of her lungs she’s unnoticed she’s unforgettable she doesn’t have control over the story she doesn’t have control over her body she doesn’t even have control over her voice. And I’m obsessed with her.
This story isn’t about her but there would be no story without her. She’ll never get out of it and she’ll never die.
I’m not sure how much of it is innate and how much of it is imitative, but a thing I’ve always found interesting about feline vocalisation is that they enunciate for emphasis in pretty much the same way that humans do, so when a cat is being emphatic you can literally hear the exclamation point.
it is of utmost importance that everyone read these tags:
this weekend at my job this trio of kids were coming up to me throughout the day begging me to look at a rusty spoon they had found in the creek by the dining hall because it was rusty and had some detailing and they were convinced it's an antique and i should put it in our nature museum. and every time i was either busy or they didnt have the spoon so i never saw it. but like. it's a spoon someone threw into the creek from the dining hall. finally at dinner im eating my pasta and having a bit of a break when the little trio comes up to me with the spoon and it sure is a tarnished rusty spoon. and im like "yeah ill look it over and ill let you know later!!" already thinking of ways to nicely tell them this is regular silverware from 2003. but then i look at the back and google the branding on the back and. those kids legit found a silver spoon from 1922. guess i gotta put it in the museum

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart
“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”
This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.
[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:
Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.
We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]
But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?
End image description]
I was so inspired by this I made it into a piece of art for a final in one of my courses for storytelling in conservation
I’m a cis man sure but i also wanna opt out of the gender binary. None of that shit is my fault or my responsibility and i don’t want any part of it
If your goal is to normalize gender-nonconformity you’re gonna have to accept that some people will fuck with gender as hard as they can while still being unequivocally, 100% cis and that is okay. There’s no egg to crack or callout to write. This is a good thing actually.
new post bc i really need folks to stop spreading tactics that are going to get missourians killed.
attorney general bailey has set up a website where you can report “concerns” about transgender care.
bailey will take those entries as real stories and use them as fuel to come down even harder on transgender care in missouri. instead, do what we usually don’t do and spam the absolute shit out of it. vary your submissions so they can’t just filter out certain keywords. but DO NOT submit stories that could sound real, because bailey will present them as real.
In case any of you are wondering why this is different from normal!
the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.
kind of a vent
[ID: A drawing in a slightly sketchy, flat-color style. A person with light skin and brown hair pulled into a ponytail sits on the ground with their arms crossed over their knees. A mirror on the ground reflects their face and shoulders. They are wearing a brown striped T-shirt and have a row or two of scars darker than their skin on each arm and ankle. Text reads “Sometimes I forget that I have scars, but helpfully people always trigger tag my photos and self portraits to warn others of the way my body permanently exists. I think it should go even farther actually. If you see someone with scars in real life, push them into a river or manhole to protect the public from the way their bodies survived.” End ID]
