summer game starts tomorrow so that'll be the rest of my summer

I'm mad at the author of that book though bc she used the phrase "male-to-female transsexuals." I'm like you can't be saying that in 2023. and it's weird bc she makes an effort in other places, making a joke that "we know why trans girls are usually born without a uterus, but we don't know why some cis girls don't have one" and acknowledging that there are trans men who do drag. maybe she was quoting a study that used that terminology

I hate having periods so much. just destroys my mind and body for a whole week. but this book I'm reading says it's bc human pregnancy is so strenuous that if there's even the slightest chance of pregnancy your body needs to be prepared in advance. if you didn't build up the uterine lining prior to ovulation pregnancy would take longer and be more difficult

when there's a particularly stupid episode of a tv show I think "this is bc there's going to be a serious one next" but sometimes they just make an extra dumb one

potentially misogyny and lesbian erasure to always focus on gay penguins and not lesbian albatrosses even though there’s albatross colonies where 30% of nesting pairs are both female

I dont think microorganisms can be queer bc there’s no other way for them to be. there isn’t a straight microorganism culture for them to exist outside of. but I think it’s ok to say two male penguins who raise an egg together are queer bc they obviously saw male-female penguin pairs and were like hmm not me though
