rabbits know and resent their place on the food chain
mice and rats also know they’re prey animals, they just have such joy of living that it cancels out. guinea pigs have no concept of death but understand contextless fear. hamsters however do know the food chain, but they also know that attachment to the earth is the root of suffering and they wisely deny the faults of the ego
If a worker who isn’t the owner says ANYTHING similar to “I’m not really supposed to do this but-” and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.
I’ll tell you what’s ferocious. Freddie’s comeback to Sid calling him “Freddie Platinum” when they were recording down the hall from each other at London’s Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).
Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queen’s control room and antagonizing their frontman. “Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?” he sneered. “Oh, yes, Simon Ferocious,” Mercury replied. “We’re trying our best, dear.”
Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sid’s leather jacket. “Tell me,” he asked, “did you arrange these pins just so?” When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, “What are you going to do about it?” Sid immediately backed down.

Freddie Mercury may very well have had the biggest dick energy of anyone who ever lived
As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one.
A tech bro tried to convince me AI was amazing cause “you could make 30,000 screenplays in minutes” not realising that every single one would be shit, you’d have to sift through everything just to find some good bits, time wasted that could’ve been spent just writing a screenplay.
Technology Brothers know nothing about what goes into creating a work, other than the fact a work has been created to be exploited for cash. They see creativity as an investment opportunity, not a love for humanity.
Matthew Dow Smith: “Just remember: Arts & Humanities are so useless and pointless that Tech Bros were driven to spend billions of dollars to try and get a computer to do something that badly approximates something Arts & Humanities students could do half asleep and wired on coffee the night before the due date.”
*places an orange just outside a fairy ring to see what comes out* science is more of an art than a science
*the orange grows legs and skitters away*
Fascinating results *places a banana in the same spot*
*clawed hand reaches out of the ether and drags it into the ring, leaving ragged claw marks in the soil as it disappears, back into the ether from whence it came*
“let’s go to the extreme.” *places a pineapple in the same spot*
Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.
The only valid response to this post.
We’re working up the complexity levels of fruit until we feel there is enough evidence to support the judicious placement of a volunteer twink
You sit down, we haven’t seen what’s happened to the pineapple
they injected my vaccine directly into my tattoo and then they covered him with a bandaid and now he looks like his identity is redacted for his protection
she also wiped down my arm for like 10 seconds too long while staring at it and was finally like That’s, uh… a really interesting animal you got there and i was ljke Thanks. He’s a water bear
this is a way better model… you’ll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.
[we can’t see the full form, but i’d suggest having a “something else” option and dominant hormone question too.]
as a cis woman who’s had a hysterectomy and partial oophorectomy, this would be helpful for me, too! it’d be pointless to try to diagnose me for disorders that affect organs I don’t have anymore, after all.
being inclusive helps us ALL. 💖
This is such a great idea! It needs to be coupled with better education about gender affirming surgery, and ensuring patients know exactly what tissues are inside them. Removing the prostate isn’t a typical part of genital reconstruction surgery for trans women, as far as I’m aware. A gender-affirming double masectomy can still absolutely leave you with breast tissue, that you have to continue to monitor for potential malignanty growths. I’ve spoken to post-op trans people of various genders who were not aware of this, but who later did get in contact and say ’….oh you’re right, I do still have [x] in my body’. This isn’t to yuk the original post at all - I think it’s brilliant! It’s just that in order for this to work, the patient has to thoroughly understand exactly what tissue they have in their body, which really should happen anyway as part of a surgeon’s due diligence. So we need better trans healthcare & education all around.
