Guys I’m going to make a hot take

The whole “I wish I could be with a woman, but instead I’m stuck with my stupid, gross husband/boyfriend” sentiment I see repeated in bi circles is just the “progressive” queer version of the boomer “I hate my wife” jokes

if he’s stupid and gross you should leave him and if he isn’t you’re just being cruel for internet points and he should leave you

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

These

are more genetically compatible than These

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

@aviculor

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate. 

This

And this

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

these

are genetically closer than these

and…

these

are genetically closer than these

and my personal favorite, it really fucks with people…

these

are more genetically similar than these

COOL. 

i’d just like to add that this

is more related to this

than this

this is not a joke—elephant shrews, ends up, are not shrews but are actually closely related to elephants.

Convergent Evolution—where it turns out to be so helpful to be A Shape that unrelated animals can become the Shape and wind up looking really similar

i love fetish artists. i love people who sexualize the grotesque & the nonsexual & the mundane. the strongest & most valuable artists of our time

1 inflation fetish artist is worth 10,000 anti kink jerks spouting fascist rhetoric

hey yall it is really not necessary to do the whole im totally not into inflation or any other weird fetish i promise guys im not a weirdo song and dance on this post. stop that. stop letting ur shame & fear of being judged overshadow ur support 4 those of us that DO have weird fetishes.

who cares if somebody thinks ur into inflation bcs u reblogged a supportive post? thats none of their business. ppl shouldnt be making assumptions abt ur sexual preferences regardless. thats on them!!!

I talk to many people who say things like “oh I have trauma but I don’t have PTSD”, but then when I talk to them a little more I realize that they most likely do, they just can’t recognize it as such due to how lacking PTSD awareness is, even beyond the whole “it’s not just a veteran’s disorder” thing.

The main reason they think they don’t have PTSD usually has to do with flashbacks and nightmares, either they have one but not the other or have neither. But here’s the thing, those are only two symptoms out of the 23-odd recognized symptoms. Flashbacks and nightmares are two of the five symptoms under Criterion B (Intrusion), which you only need one of for a diagnosis. The other three symptoms are unwanted upsetting memories, emotional distress after being reminded of trauma and physical reactivity after being reminded of trauma (i.e. shaking, sweating, heart racing, feeling sick, nauseous or faint, etc). Therefore you can have both flashbacks and nightmares, one but not the other, or neither and still have PTSD.

In fact, a lot of the reasons people give me for why they don’t think they have PTSD are literally a part of the diagnostic criteria.

“Oh, I can barely remember most parts of my trauma anyway.” Criterion D (Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood) includes inability to recall key features of the trauma.

“Oh but I don’t get upset about my trauma that often because I avoid thinking of it or being around things that remind me of it most of the time.” Criterion C (Avoidance) includes avoiding trauma-related thoughts or feelings and avoiding trauma-related external reminders, and you literally cannot get diagnosed if you don’t have at least one of those two symptoms.

“Oh I just have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, but I don’t have nightmares.” Criterion E (Alterations in Arousal and Reactivity) includes difficulting sleeping outside of nightmares.

“But I didn’t have many/any trauma symptoms until a long time after the trauma happened.” There’s literally an entire specification for that.

Really it just shows how despite being one of the most well-known mental illnesses, people really don’t know much about PTSD. If you have trauma, I ask you to at least look at the criteria before you decide you don’t have PTSD. Hell, even if you don’t have trauma, look at the criteria anyway because there are so many symptoms in there that just are not talked about.

PTSD awareness is not just about flashbacks and nightmares.

the funniest part of death note was when light thought, “The police are spying on me through cameras in my room. I need them to think I’m a normal high school boy.” and then he proceeded to read a porn magazine for 5 minutes without cranking his chain. all while laying on his bed like this
