E. coli multiplying in 1940 despite the application of pencillin, becoming the first documented antibiotic resistant bacteria:
We’re only finding out recently that a lot of animals have colors and patterns that we cannot see because they’re outside of our visual range. It calls to attention how much of the world we can’t experience because our senses are limited. When we shine UV lights on them, they glow pink or blue, but these are the colors that we CAN see…. they could be a bunch of different colors, which we SEE as all pink. It’s also interesting to consider that most of these animals are not aware of having glowing patches on their bodies…. isn’t it also possible that we have skin or hair patterns that were not aware of? . . (There is actually some research out there to support the idea that our own skin fluoresces as well and that there are gender differences in the pattern and glow.)

Just wanted to spread this twitter thread around as much as possible. It frustrates me to no end that Tiger King did all this weird Carole Baskin character assassination trying to make her look like she’s just as bad as Joe and Doc without ever properly explaining what Carole is doing differently and why it matters.
hozier singing about bones, dead bodies, preys, predators, decomposing, satanic sacrifice, anal sex:
me and the girls:
just making sure y'all know that I'm radically queer and inclusive. some things this includes:
trans women are regular women & should be an integral part of every women's community.
gender dysphoria is a varying and deeply personal experience (I say as a cis woman with butch dysphoria) and can exist independently of medical transition.
nonbinary people don't have to be "man/woman-aligned" (though many are). they're not binary, it says so right there.
define your gender or sexuality however makes you comfortable. all labels were made up by somebody. you have the right to have yours respected.
queer is a useful label & important to a lot of people.
aromantic & asexual people's sexuality is normal and they belong in lgbtq+ spaces.
bi/pan/m-spec women belong in wlw spaces.
whoever else it's popular to invalidate and hate these days in the name of community purism? they're my friends now. hurt them and you fight me.
guess who just followed me? I want to make sure they know they're not welcome. it's 2020, intolerance isn't cool anymore.
