Here We Are Again

Tbh there is an overabundance of media about a nonhuman creature's deep desire and journey to become human, and so very few of the opposite

God I hate the whole egg/cracking your egg thing in trans spaces. I ended up in several situations where I had friends who kept purposefully trying too "crack" my egg and were just like way to invested in my gender identity and it never helped if anything it stunted my self realization. I side eye anyone who uses and identities people as eggs. It just feels condescending and immature.

but like now I'm fascinated.

OK I JUST FINISHED READING 17776 THAT WASN'T TOO LONG FOR A NICE AFTERNOON. Really good read for an afternoon.

if you read about any biology you can quickly lose touch with what is astonishing and miraculous vs what is mundane, from animals that steal chloroplasts to become photosynthetic, to cloning technology being old hat, to trees that didn’t biodegrade for tens of millions of years, to naturally occurring lateral gene transfer between vastly different species, to the creation of gametes from adult cells, to the ability of some cancers to induce blood vessel growth, to desert shrimp that lie dormant for years, to the sensitivity of human touch receptors, to the fact that human hardware has a latent ability to see UV but their corneas block those wavelengths, to birds that echolocate and live in caves, to human skin being covered in enzymes that destroy RNA, to individual trees becoming genetic tapestries branch by branch, to life forms that gain energy from the electron potential of metals in their environments, to plants that recognize their siblings and adjust their behavior accordingly when growing next to them, to metamorphosis
