i want female only sports, including chess. i also want female only book clubs and female only karaoke nights and female only whatever women want to enjoy without the threat of men breathing down their necks. it's not about physical or mental superiority and more about me just wanting one place where i don't have to deal with sexists and chauvinists, especially when im doing something i love.

there a baby fox living under our deck and he literally looks like that "full of milk" drawing except somehow rounder

“hey bruh lemme stuff this toilet with ps1′s. im gone kill the tumblr game with this one”

Things I’ve learned while working in a museum collection

-The best way to learn is on the job

-Snakes kept in ethanol for 50 years have a very specific smell

-it’s like greasy vodka

-I’ve found where all the queers go in science and it’s museums, I’ve found my people

-A right of passage includes getting a tattoo of your preferred genus 

-The 60 year old entomologist who is apparently a celebrity in the beetle circles has a huge back-spanning tattoo of a scarab, and my co-worker only discovered this when she saw said entomologist at a rock concert

-You have to keep those stained skeleton specimens in jars of glycerin because it’s only in glycerin that light goes through the specimens tissue to reveal the blue/red/green skeleton otherwise they’re an opaque white

-Glycerin leeches through glass

-You will be skinning an animal for a few hours and be staring at the bare flesh and viscera and be suddenly intensely hungry. That’s normal.

-You’ll find a “problem specimen” in a jar with no number tag and you’ll ask the collection manager what to do about it, she’ll turn around pick a book from a huge shelf of identical books and ask for the place and date on the jar and then she’ll flip to a page, check that, and then check the online database before saying “it’s this one, make a new tag”. And you’ll spend the rest of the day mystified at the incredible record-keeping that’s been happening for 130 years.

-Vegans haven’t discovered museum collections yet and everyone hopes it stays that way lest we have to constantly defend another vital aspect of scientific progress

- “Our collection isn’t haunted because animals don’t hold that kind of grudge, everything in the herpetology section murdered for their dinner everyday, but the anthropology collection on the other hand…”

-Everyone in the vertebrate collection has a furious and never-ending hatred of fly fishing (never forgive, never forget)

I feel like, we as a society, don't talk enough about people messing up needle felting.

I feel like we need to start really pushing for hate crimes against women to actually be treated as such. It's fucking insane that a man can beat/rape/murder a woman, call her sexist slurs during the attack, and then tell the police and press that he did it because he hates women, but somehow this isn't considered a hate crime. The only reason places don't want to do it is because there's so many that it would mean like 90% of hate crime victims would be women (literally the reason the uk gave for not doing it a few years back)

It's extra crazy because wasn't it something like 80% of mass murderers have a history of harrasment and violence against women and girls? You would think it would be a no brainer to treat these crimes seriously to prevent these men from getting out and committing even more violent and horrific crimes, but that would mean treating women as people and not shock absorbers for society I guess.

Something I've notice from being in a "queer" community is that both me and other bi women are told that we might be lesbians with comphet if we even mention that we prefer women or are more attracted to women than men. Like sure, there are some lesbians who experience comphet because of internalised homophobia, but omg the frequency that I've seen this happen at is crazy. It's like they're saying the only way to love or be attracted to women as a woman is if you're a lesbian and that bisexuality is some sort of synonym for heterosexuality. I feel like that's why labels such as "bi lesbian" is just thrown around today and lesbian spaces are invaded by women who are clearly bisexual. Anyways, bisexuality isn't the "in between" of homosexuality and heterosexuality, it's its own sexuality.

shit like this is why i believe in kink shaming. even though they believe her to be dead no body has been found so i pray Yingying Zhang is still alive.
