A woman's place is on the battlefield
so you think women should die
funny how you immediately assumed the women would lose the battle….misogynist much?
you're right i will reflect on my behavior. sorry women

OK but aside from the funny, this is the gorilla doing its best to correct a gorilla faux pas! Gorillas don’t make eye contact except as a challenge. They avoid looking at each other directly as much as possible. So this fella just accidentally slid forward and looked the human right in the eye and went “oooooops” and turned FULLY around to go “I have no quarrel with you!”
Here's the thing:
Cis people really do feel like the gender they were assigned at birth.
Cis women really do feel like women, and cis men really do feel like men. They experience what we would call gender euphoria related to dressing and expressing themselves as their gender, whether that's in a femme way or a butch way or any other way. They feel joy and connection with their gender, with their sexuality and how it relates to their gender. They wear clothes, participate in activities, and express themselves in ways that affirm their gender identity.
Gender critical radfems and terfs will try to convince you that "no woman feels like a woman". They do this for several reasons. Firstly, it's to try to convince trans men they aren't trans, they're just women with no connection to womanhood because "no woman feels a connection to womanhood". They also do it to try to discredit trans women, by saying "If you feel like a woman, then you're clearly not a woman, because "woman" isn't a feeling, it's biology".
A lot of gender critical terfs and radfems claim they are "dysphoric women", and will try to convince you this is a normal state of womanhood. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, that doesn't sound normal at all, actually. Most women do not secretly wish they could be men, or more androgynous, or have a penis. Most women don't define their lives through suffering - they love being women.
If womanhood - or manhood - is making you miserable... you might be trans, or you might be gender nonconforming. See if dressing a different way makes you feel a spark of joy and happiness - seek euphoria!
Gender should be joyous, not drudgery.
I am a cis woman and I absolutely feel happiness and contentment associated with being a woman, but not with being "feminine—" I started to experience what trans people know as "gender euphoria" when I cut my hair short and started presenting more "masculine." shoutout to butch lesbians for being literally my first experience of "oh, *I* want to look/dress/be like that"
you're just jealous bc the spotlight is shining on my cell in the panopticon
Instagram influencers be like
I have no idea what is and isn’t considered common knowledge, so I have a tendency to start stories like “So you know how [hyper-specific niche life event that a handful of people in the world are aware of]” or “Are you familiar with the concept of moving pictures? Sometimes referred to as ‘films’ or ‘movies’?”

I love the dragon so much!!
people keep talking about how we "have to" go back to "normal" after covid because "we can't live in fear with restrictions like this forever"
which is funny because I'd like to know when the same return to normal after 9/11 is happening, because it's been over 20 years and none of the restrictions on freedom or privacy have eased even slightly
i wonder why
AND in another direction, after so many violent gun attacks, instead of even attempting to make a “new normal,” this constant violence and death is “normal”

It would be so funny if autistic people started describing allistic experience the same pathologised way doctors describe autism
Symptoms of being neurotypical:
- You have immobile, frozen hands that do not fidget.
- Your interests are shallow.
- You read into phrases past their actual meanings.
- You are unbothered by eye contact and enjoy staring into people's eyeballs.
- You do not notice patterns in numbers and objects even when they are logically connected.
- You don't mind doing things without planning them out first.
- Instead of saying exactly what you think, you expect others to infer it based on subjective social rules.
Don't be discouraged if you're neurotypical. If you work hard, you too can be decent at math and accomplish the same things autistic people can!

People Who Enjoy “Medium Rare Chicken”
My dad was a veterinarian in the meat animal industry so here is an explanation of why medium rare is a thing with steaks, but not chicken:
In beef, what you worry about is e. coli. In healthy live cattle (and they must be healthy to be butchered for consumption) e. coli is only in the digestive tract but it can escape and contaminate the outside of the beef during slaughter and butchering. The bacteria does not migrate to the interior of the meat as there is no circulation to take it there. So you can eat beef where the inside is less cooked as long as the outside is well seared to kill any bacteria that may be on it. Hamburger should always be thoroughly cooked because it is all “outside”.
With chicken, the concern is salmonella, which is found through out the body of the chicken. Chickens can tolerate it, it doesn’t make them noticeably sick, but humans can not, so the entire meat must be cooked enough to kill any bacteria present in the meat. As a note, it used to be believed that salmonella was not passed on to the eggs and in fact in the 1950′s, when my dad was in Vet school, studies showed it was not present in the eggs even if it was present in the hen. That’s why there used to be a lot of recipes that used raw eggs, it was safe then. However due to some change in the bacteria, or changes in egg-farming practices, it is now found in eggs as well. The amounts are small, and if you are eating eggs within a couple days of being laid it’s probably not a problem, but store eggs are old enough for bacteria to have reproduced to dangerous levels and the liquid interior allows it to spread all through the egg.
As a side note, with pigs the concern is trichinosis, a parasite that used to be common in pigs and spread to humans through under-cooked pork. However, it has been essentially eliminated in commercially produced pork these days. It should be safe now to eat “medium rare” pork, but trichinosis was so horrible and the fear of it so ingrained that it is rare to see pork that is not well done.
^ Good addition!
I also wanted to mention that apart from the salmonella risk (which is a freakin’ big “apart from”), you also have the risk of Campylobacter infections. Not only can these lead to really really horrible gastro-intestinal problems, a small number of infections also cause an auto-immune response that leads to the body destroying its own myelin (the stuff around your nerves that makes them good at carrying electrical signals). Basically, your nerves stop working and even if you survive, you’ll be hooked up to an iron lung for… a long time. I don’t know how long it takes to regrow myelin, I’m not a neurologist.
Don’t eat raw poultry, guys
RB for awesome info, ty! I knew the info but not the reasons and as a “I need reasons to remember things” person this is really helpful!
the 17th century was called ‘the golden age of piracy’ and now that i’m reading about it it’s really not surprising that piracy appealed to so many people
