Tw: mass shooting mention, homophobia mention, violence mention

On June 12, 2016, a man opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He killed 49 people and injured 53 more before he was killed by police. I will not include his name in this post, as his memory is not what I wish to honor. I wish to pay respects to the victims of that violent night, and I will be listing their names as a way for anyone who reads this post to remember them. None of them deserved the violence and inhumanity that they experienced.

I am writing this post as a way to honor the victims of that night, and because I wish to remember them. I want to remember that these people lived and breathed within my lifetime. I was 12 years old when the shooting happened, and I remember sitting on the couch and watching the news. I wanted to cry out of grief and fear. But all I could do was sit in silence because my family did not know I was queer and would not have understood if I tried to explain why I was grieving for those people that died. I knew from a very young age that there are people in this world that hate people like me. I knew that I would experience hate. And I knew that violence against people like me happened, but that day was the first day I was scared to be myself, and it was the first day I was scared for everyone like me.

I am older now, and I know that violence and hatred have not gone away, and I don't know if they ever will. I would be lying if I said I don't still feel afraid sometimes, but I know that I am stronger now as a person, and I know that the LGBTQIA+ community is stronger too.

I will list some links to LGBT+ charities and organizations below if anyone would like to donate to honor the memory of those we have lost.

Happy Pride everyone.

I'm about to learn you a thing about Hedgehogs!!

Hedgehogs are funky little creatures that come in 17 different species, and they are mainly found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand!

They're one of the oldest mammals, thought to have first evolved from Litolestes, Leipsanolestes, Oncocherus, Cedrocherus, and the Deinogalerix about 15 million years ago!

Before the word "hedgehog" came into use in the 1450s, these little guys were called urchins!

Their most identifiable feature is definitely their spines, which are made out of keratin!

If you try to look up a date when hedgehogs were discovered, you most likely won't find one. However, there are records of hedgehogs being domesticated as pets as far back as the 4th century B.C. by the Romans!

In the wild, hedgehogs mainly eat insects but have also been known to eat bigger animals such as frogs and baby birds!

Domesticated hedgehogs thrive off of a steady diet that is high in protein and low in fat, and some sources even say you can feed a hedgehog cat food.

Hedgehogs are in the order insectivora and have 36 teeth, with the first canine tooth generally being larger than the others.

Hedgehogs weigh anywhere between 1 to 2 lbs, but their weight fluctuates often and can be hard to maintain in the wild.

I think I love these animals a tad too much.

Heyo! Quick introduction:

I'm Remmie! I have autism and tend to fixate very randomly on various subjects, such as, but not excluded to, history, science, biology, chemistry, and mythology! This blog is basically gonna be a record of things I've researched/fixated on. Anything I post will most likely be a long winded ramble about a topic I've researched for way too long!

Everyone kind is welcome here, so pull up a chair and enjoy your stay!

~ racists, terfs, homophobes, transphobes, basically anyone who is an asshole is not welcome here. Get fucked 💜~
