Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.
Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.

Today's wasp of the day is the horse guard wasp (Stictia carolina)!
Credits: photo 1, photo 2
Wasps can be a horse's best friend! These sand wasps prey on biting horseflies and can efficiently take out whole swaths of them!
Interestingly enough, horses seem to have some awareness that these wasps are on their side as they'll neither swat at them or react to the sound of their loud buzzing as they would do with the similar sounding horse flies.
bugs :)
bugs!!
Some buggo for thee :D

i think i saw a movie like this once
Ok I needed to know the story and
Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace
Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodat
"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse," wrote Corey Quinn, a software-startup founder in San Francisco, on X.
Employers could wind up in court if they outright dismiss workers who request a faith-based exemption from using AI, said Ashley Herd, a former McKinsey counsel and head of North American HR who now advises managers and employers on workplace issues.
"Playing priest, and telling employees their request isn't legitimate, does not tend to bode well for companies," said Herd, also a cohost of the "HR Besties" podcast. "A jury doesn't like it when employees get made fun of by managers or HR."

If you put this in a novel people would say it was too absurd.

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for
there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs
I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows
GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ

The problem with having read a lot of scifi and fantasy is that when a story shows early on that it has strong signs of being a dystopia being presented in-universe as a good thing that correlates to some real world oppression, it's hard to tell if the author is aware they wrote that and did it on purpose. Because there are far too many stories where you spot the sexism/the racism/the classism/the xenophobia/the ableism etc. with a thin veneer of in-universe justification and go oh boy time for a story that explores the systemic injustice of this thing that mirrors the real world only for you to get further and further in and realize no the author is literally a eugenicist (or if not at minimum didn't think through what they wrote and has no inclination to do so) this wasn't a world building set up. And it can be further complicated by first person/3rd person limited stories where the pov character is an unreliable narrator.
Which all makes it harder to trust stories that start that way because you don't trust the author and don't want to waste your time. Stories that manage to pull this off are some of my favorites and can do such a good job of helping the reader see their own biases, but there are so many works that just accept real world bigotry and bring it into their fictional worlds that it makes some of those stories hard to actually finish sometimes.

I don’t think we ought to normalize or justify bullying as a means to keep people from being annoying — a sentiment that in and of itself could make for a whole article’s worth of conversation — but I do think we should make a habit of politely but directly telling people “hey I didn’t like that”, “that wasn’t funny”, “you are mistaken”, and the like if it’s called for, and more importantly, you should be able to take a “that wasn’t funny” for instance without taking it personally, because protecting a polite harmony where no one can criticize each other, not even politely, is also really, really bad.
Normalize calling out others with tact and taking accountability when you are called out
