Varric: Seventeen? Andraste's ass, seventeen?!

Lucanis: Eighteen if you count the kitchen knife.

Varric: And why are you carrying a kitchen knife?

IMPORTANT FOR UNITED STATES CITIZENS

The KOSA/KIDS ACT vote will happen tomorrow on the 29th of June.

It will happen in the afternoon, (to quote the TikTok) when you wake up, call your house rep, then go about your day until the afternoon in which you should call your house rep again.

The KOSA/KIDS act will force people to send in their IDS to do basically anything, otherwise, for people who don’t send it in or minors, nearly everything would be censored, LGBTQ+, things trump doesn’t like, etc.

THEY’RE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS.

Some thoughts.

so thats epic of you!!

Ive gotten a lot of media reccomendations i want to review on my yt!! Massive thanks to ppl who reccd conclave, it was epic 👀👀👀

also, if yall like reading, i have a mini story up on my wordpress about a genderqueer slimegirl cyborg!

Would love any critique if people want to check it out! Its also releasing on my yt, after i record the audio version and draw the animatic for it ! X

But also, and this is really important to keep in mind regarding bigotry that still causes in many ways larger problems, that the structural problems are not actually fixed.

If you go to any computer lab or public library, the mice will be on the right side of the computer. Sometimes they can be moved. Sometimes they can't. Many computer mice are curved to only fit in right hands.

It is impossible to find lefthanded scissors without going to a specialty store, because most scissor makers don't even make them. And it's not just a matter of grip; the slicing side of the blades is obscured if you use righty scissors in your left hand, so your cut is off.

All those signing pads with the little chained styluses? Almost always on the right side, often not even long enough to stretch to the left. Makes signing for lefties extremely difficult.

I caused actual muscular problems in college having to twist around in order to write at right-handed desks in college when there weren't enough lefty desks--and there never were. Some classrooms didn't even have a single one.

I could go on.

I was wondering whether there are any concrete theories on how this could have happened, and if there are other cases among birds/reptiles that are very closely related but ended up on opposite sides of the globe (without human intervention).

Love your posts btw! Everytime I open my dash I get a happy little creachur to learn about

Well friend... Its not actually the same bird.

Recent genetic analysis shows us that the bird from the Iberian peninsula and the east Asian species are actually completely different species!

They were once believed to be the same species. Even though they were virtually identical in appearance, there are some minor plumage differences.
