Cryptid of the Day: Isle of Man Sea Serpent

Description: This funny looking sea serpent was seen off the coast of Isle of Man in 1880 and 1910 by Commander Robert Anstruther. The creature was seen again in 1928 by Major W. Peter Groves, and he described it as “having many feet in length, head big as a bull’s, and with a dog like snout.

twitter is broken today 😭 are there any other ways that people search for anthologies to apply to?

might not be broken actually! Might be working as intended!

OH FUCK! okay twitter is dead, that’s amazing. this is a death blow. does he not understand that the platform relies on addictive doom scrolling, and that people actively want to quit but can’t because it activates all the right brain chemicals? this is wonderful for me at least, with Elon’s help I can finally kick this particular addiction.

Actually, I want to do a study of regret rates for Harry Potter-themed tattoos versus regret rates for gender confirmation surgeries, because my naive suspicion is that the former are considerably higher at this point.

The most ridiculous thing about this shit is that the idea that skeletal remains can be easily and unambiguously 'sexed' is absolutely bunkus

In 1972, Kenneth Weiss, now a professor emeritus of anthropology and genetics at Pennsylvania State University, noticed that there were about 12 percent more male skeletons than females reported at archaeological sites. This seemed odd, since the proportion of men to women should have been about half and half. The reason for the bias, Weiss concluded, was an “irresistible temptation in many cases to call doubtful specimens male.” For example, a particularly tall, narrow-hipped woman might be mistakenly cataloged as a man. After Weiss published about this male bias, research practices began to change. In 1993, 21 years later, the aptly named Karen Bone, then a master’s student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, examined a more recent dataset and found that the bias had declined: The ratio of male to female skeletons had balanced out. In part that might be because of better, more accurate ways of sexing skeletons. But also, when I went back through the papers Bone cited, I noticed there were more individuals categorized as “indeterminate” after 1972 and basically none prior. Allowing skeletons to remain unsexed, or “indeterminate,” reflects an acceptance of the variability and overlap between the sexes. It does not necessarily mean that the skeletons classified this way are, in fact, neither male nor female, but it does mean that there is no clear or easy way to tell the difference. As science and social change in the 1970s and 1980s revealed that sex is complicated, the category of “indeterminate sex” individuals in skeletal research became more common and improved scientific accuracy.

Cis transphobes, you too could have your skeleton miscategorised hundreds of years after your death, because neither gender nor sex are the clear binaries you want them to be. Which you would know if your view of science in these fields wasn't perpetually stuck in the first half of the 20th century.

(another good article from Sapiens on transgender perspectives on archaeology/anthropology - https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/transgender-people-exist-in-history/ )

Anyway I just wanted to put this here to say that the assholes who go "when they find your bones" aren't even correct, in recent decades that narrow approach has been challenged in the fields of archaeology and anthropology, and don't let anyone invalidate the joy we feel in life.

Trans joy now and forever.

Yes!!!!

A) not all archaeologists are osteoarchaeologists

B) the ones that are, are aware of ambiguity in human bones!! Which exists! This is like osteo-archaeology 101 (literally my intro bones & stones class covered this. It was "likely," this or that, not guaranteed).

C) all of them can conceive of human remains in context of how they were found meaning that a good archaeologist doesn't just look at a pelvis and declare the sex of the skeleton and that's all they ever study or do. ....that would be silly and also pointless. Archaeologists are gonna look at lots of things. They're going to look at epitaphs/tombstones, burial objects, clothing, location of burial, etc etc.

Like if an archaeologist digs up a person whose tombstone says "loving daughter, friend, sister, she will be missed," and that person's pelvis isn't as wide as expected they're going to get laughed at if they declare that the skeleton is actually a man on the basis of ignoring literally all other data points and the fact that outliers exist all the time.

An archaeologist might be able to gather enough data to argue: "this person could have been/was likely a trans woman, and here's what we know about their life, and they existed back then, and here's how they were honored in death." But it won't be done by bone size alone, and also... just shows trans people exist and are real and have history.

terfs just hate admitting science might validate trans existence as legitimate and real. But science doesn't work by running around making claims and then forcing evidence to fit those claims.

Also I just don't care what a random archaeologist in a thousand years is going to say about my bones? I'm pretty sure I bone spur riddled skeleton will be the least interesting thing about me. Why was she buried with a sword and a staff? Why is she holding a metal tablet saying "This Is Not A Place Of Honor"? Why is she wearing an amulet that is CLEARLY cursed, but also real cheap and beat up sneakers?

"Damn, bitch," the archaeologist will say to my skeleton as the seal is broken and the Hungry Gods descend from a shattered sky to eat reality from the edges, "Did you seriously live like this?!"
