Feeble is starting to look like a real cow and I’m so ;_; about it she looks so good

it’s 2026 i think it’s high time we left mind-body dualism behind us as a species. let’s go into 2027 with the full understanding that we are our bodies and that our consciousness cannot be separated from them thank you

used car salesman voice: so, kid, youre looking for new pronouns huh? well, she/her is strongest in the market right now, good and reliable, if a little basic, but theyll get you where youre going. nowwww if you want something flashier, we have an it/its on the floor, thosell have you turning heads when youre out n about but they take a little more work to get running. and over on the neo market i could get you saddled in a fae/faer, or xe/xir, or even a pup/pups if youre feeling particularly inspired, but yknow most of my customers typically keep those as a spare for cruising on their own. and, of course, if youre feeling trepidatious ive got some they/them models in the side lot you could hang onto for a while and trade in later if you find its not quite your speed. have a look around, and gimme a shout if you find something you like eh?

Scientists didn’t know. It should be “Scientists just found out”

I....I want clothes made out of those colors. They don't hurt my brain!

THIS. Every damn botanist I know, including myself, is at the least tangentially interested in fiber arts and indigenous methods behind things like that. Scientists have hobbies and we're all goddamn nerds so a lot of those hobbies are more niche. The anti-intellectualism is insane. I swear half of y'all think scientists are all evil cackling old men devoted to holding up colonial power systems. The work done by Dr. MacMillan is crazy cool and should be celebrated

To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.

Final note: while they were dating, a favorite activity was to go to a local cafe with a balcony and throw sugar cubes into people's hats.
