Intersex bodies do not need correcting, intersex bodies are not unnatural. Intersex people deserve autonomy.

Also the bigger picture: that almost everyone they’ve identified has been from Erebus. Peglar is the FIRST positively ID’d Terror sailor. Dead facedown and alone, 130 km away from anything else, dressed in someone else's clothes and bearing a missive that says (amongst other things) "you are Peglar". Is it a reminder for a man losing his grip on himself? Or in fact a message from a captain to another camp, since that's found in the “Terror camp clear” roundel? Was he literally disguised? Did they all stop recognizing each other? Did it become unsafe to rank higher than a steward?

There are other notes in the papers in which Peglar seems to be writing about people around him in the present tense, but that's been a source of confusion, as he writes about thinking someone *might* be an officer, another has the "baring [sic] of a marine". With only 129 people to choose from and everyone uniformed, he should have known the rank of everyone around him.

So if you ever see this, or ever saw any of my posts back in the day (old url or was urieking). Just know it was all fake.

I’m mentally stable now 🖤

There is nothing inherently unhealthy about that reward feeling! You can have that same feeling in a healthy way!!!! Corporations are taking advantage of it for profit, don't let them!!!!!!

Primary Sex Traits (natal):

sex chromosomes

gonads

external genital structures

internal reproductive structures

sex hormone production

sex hormone response

And Secondary Sex Traits (pubertal).

Hormone replacement therapy and surgery may alter some of these sex traits, thus transitioning one's biological sex.

Intersex people have natural, substantial variations in their biological sexes that diverge from the (perisex-)typical; intersex variations are present at birth or are developed during puberty, and cannot be transitioned into or out of due to intersexuality being the fact of natural variation from the typical, not merely the presence of the sex traits themselves.

eyes hit serious diminishing returns wrt resource costs vs vision quality as they get bigger, so the question became: what the FUCK do giant (and colossal) squid need to see so badly that they couldn't see with swordfish-sized eyes that's justifying that massive energy cost? that nothing else in the deep ocean needs to see so fucking badly??

turns out the one strength eyes that big really have over much smaller eyes is: seeing large glowing objects in water deeper than 500 meters from an appreciable distance.

sperm whales are the primary predator of giant squid. sperm whales don't glow. BUT! water that deep is full of bioluminescent creatures-- these creatures light up when bumped into. something a sperm whale's size is continuously bumping into those critters, it's just surrounded by a glowing field all the time when it's swimming at those depths, visible from a distance-- if you have the right eyes-- as a massive glowing shape. so basically the only reason to have eyes the size of soccer balls is if you live in the deep ocean and your life depends on having a heads up when a hungry sperm whale lurking around
