Excussse us… have you ever heard of the blunthead slug snake (Aplopeltura boa)? This nocturnal reptile, which can reach lengths of up to 33 in (85 cm), primarily feeds on slugs and snails. Unlike many other snakes, this species eats using a technique called mandibular sawing: To slice off the indigestible parts of prey, the blunthead slug snake slides its jaws back and forth like a saw! It can be found in parts of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Sumatra, and Java.

Can I just say this weird social media push of "girl cat boy cat" pisses me off there was this girl i overheard who was petting a cat who was showing her a lot of love and talking about adopting her but when she found out she was a girl cat she was like "I don't like girl cats" like what the fuck are we doing misogyny against cats now

The most inconvenient truth is that men do misogyny because they get something from it. They get labor from intimate partners, they get social capital in their public circles, they get the benefit of the doubt, they get default respect and promotions and people listening to them and people afraid of them.

10 Most Damaging Myths about Transmen and FTMs

All FTMs come from the lesbian community, and after transition are heterosexual. (that is, attracted to women)

Transsexualism/transgenderism can be "cured" by psychotherapy. Transsexual men are really just lesbians.

FTMs did not exist until after World War II,with the advent of hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery.

Female-to-Males are far rarer than Male-to-Female transsexuals.

Transmen seek to live as and be recognized as male in order to obtain male privilege and economic advantages.

All transmen exhibit stereotypically male behavior and want to be as macho as possible.

Taking testosterone makes Female-to-Male transsexuals much more aggressive and angry than they were before taking hormones.

All FTMs want genital reconstruction as the driving force of their transition. (not necessarily the social aspects that go along with masculinity)

Historically, all women only chose to live as men to pursue careers that were otherwise unattainable to them, to seek economic opportunities, or to justify lesbian relationships.

Transmen are really just butch lesbians who change sex

I was driving up to a friend’s for the weekend on Friday and nearly broke down in tears because I saw a billboard on the side of a southern highway. It had the same yellow background with red text that those awful, ubiquitous “Jesus Saves!” billboards have. I nearly missed it.

It said:

“Rejoice! God loves trans kids!”

I hate how landlords and Air BNB hustlers will refer to their rental property as “my house” YOUR HOUSE? You live there? It’s your house, your home? Might have been somebody’s house before you evicted them. Fuck you. It rubs me the wrong wayyyyy.

quaker oats is disgusting and I will go out of my way to never eat anything made by them again. they kept at least one factory so disgusting that when the FDA said Hey you need to actually follow health regulations (in response to a MASSIVE fucking recall due to contamination that made a ton of people sick, and anecdotally myself and several people I know got sick from food that was NOT recalled) they said actually it would be too hard to follow health regulations and SHUT THE FACTORY DOWN INSTEAD

AND THEY TARGET SO MANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AT CHILDREN

like just very frankly this whole idea that misogyny is a result of young boys being exposed to porn on the internet is ridiculous and it is fucking embarrassing how many people who claim to have materialist politics still parrot it. do you think that guy grew up to be a misogynist because of xhamster or do you think watching the way his father treated his mother and being increasingly materially rewarded for going along with the disenfranchisement of women and living in an economic system which functions off of the abuse of women and the heavily gendered exploitation of labor had anything to do with it
