the fact that there’s still so much unknown about intersex health isn’t just a fun coincidence. it’s a result of continued medical bias, the focus on trying to make us “normal”, and active medical neglect of intersex people

like. sure, there’s much that is unknown about the human body in general. but the lack of knowledge about intersex people is not independent from medical intersexism

doctors can force sex reassignment surgery on a newborn and not even tell the parents. (from what i know, correct me if im wrong)

okay but fr I think it's so sad that so many people are taught (usually indirectly) to be fearful of or hate bugs. that there is a little critter, a silly thing, a little animal. it is so so different from us but we get to look at it and think about its tiny world! I think that's real neat

not to be autistic but i wish i could purr because conveying the fact that i feel positive takes so much energy. i could just make Chest Sound

please science do your thing

Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

Happy disability pride month to people whose physical disabilities were caused by someone else intentionally.

To those who survived violent hate crimes, to those who survived violent assault, to physical abuse survivors, to torture survivors, to child soldiers, to prisoners, to war and terrorism survivors, to people who were starved to the point of bone/joint/musculature and GI issues, to all who have to live every day knowing that if someone had not consciously decided to hurt them, they would not have those physical conditions.

if u r trans no matter what ur agab and ur gender may be there is a good chance u will have a voice in ur head telling u that u need to lose weight to pass and to have people take u seriously . that is the voice of the DEVIL do NOT LISTEN TO IT !!!!

On this day of freedom, let's talk about how bald eagles are queer!

It starts with a female eagle named Hope and a male named Valor I. The two settled down to neat together, however Valor I wasn't a great dad. He did show up to incubate the eggs and basically never came around.

In comes another male, Valor II. He immediately did what a good eagle dad is supposed to, incubate, maintain the best, all that. This lead to him becoming Hope's new mate.

Here's where it gets interesting, Valor I didn't seem to mind and actually stuck around! Eventually Hope started mating with both of them, and Valor I even learned to be a good dad!

Unfortunately in 2017 Hope was killed by intruding eagles, but! The two male's actually stuck together and successfully raised their chicks!

Soon enough a new female named Starr came along and joined the two, and now she mates with both males every season!

This arrangement allows for the eagles to have a much more successful rate of raising chicks and fighting off other predators!

This particular story isn't the only one! Bald eagles have been seen in multiple arrangements including two females and one male!

While shark teeth tend to get a lot of attention, it’s the teeth on their skin that you should brush up on! Shark skin is covered in tiny, flat pointed scales that are called dermal denticles—which literally means skin teeth. If you look at a shark’s skin under a microscope, you’ll see that the scales are a series of overlapping teeth that result in a rough texture.

These pointed scales reduce drag on sharks as they swim, making them stealthy and fast as they cut through the water. This jagged texture also keeps fouling animals (like barnacles) from being able to settle on their bodies and slow them down, which is helpful when you’re a speedy top predator. 

TLDR: sharks are covered in tiny teeth and this makes them better swimmers. How’s that for a tantalizingly toothsome fact?

I feel so bad for whatever aquarium social media person who posted this who now has to read a million annoying NO SHARKS ARE SMOOTH comments in the notes. A genuine science education post about sharks is not the best place for that meme

The human body is an inefficient engine for turning fluids into other, slightly different types of fluids

it makes me so ANGRY. like, the meatsack DEMANDS calories and hydration, and i put heroic amounts of effort into giving the meatsack these things...then, like a petulant toddler, it hands me some back and goes "i don't want this stuff, get rid of it for me." WHY DID YOU DEMAND IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHERE IS GOD I JUST WANNA TALK
