I was just reading about how many other cultures have a distinction between a person proper name and the name they are called at home. I forget where I was reading this, but since we don't have that in America it seems like there's generally more angst around what to call people in some situations.

I had read ages ago that people liked to hear their own name, so I frequently greet my friends with their names. I have a friend and work colleague that I almost always call by his full first and last name, and he in turn calls me by my first and middle name, which seems both proper and oddly intimate. No else besides my mom called me by my first and middle name regularly.

HOWEVER, I HATE calling my husband by his name, I almost never say his name to him. I will refer to him by his name when I talk about him to other people, but if I am talking to him I typically call him sweetie or cutie or bestest husband or some dumb thing like that. This is also usually what he calls me (When one of us greets the other we typically say sweetie or cutie in a singsong voice and the other responds with the same singsong of the other pet name) (we are weird). SOMETIMES when he is trying to get my attention he will call me by name, WHICH I HATE. I have never told him this, since it seems weird but yeah. When he calls my name up the stairs to tell me dinner is ready, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hate it. I hate it when he says my name. I am to be called cutie or sweetie until the end of time, OBVI!

what if instead of having a fake name for internet personal-life purposes we could have a fake name for professional work-life purposes

I laughed, then kept scrolling, then I scrolled back to heart it, then I scrolled back again to repost it because this was so good.

So, so good.

How good did it feel to be that judge and get to just lay it the fuck out for those dumb fucks? I bet it felt awesome.

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, uaing the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

You gotta do what you love, even if other people don't understand it.

I need to remember this.

Fucking slain in my tracks by this postcard on my friend’s dresser

Literally what MUST have occurred. There is no other reason Cas had to practice killing so many Deans!

...Looks like Naomi's gotta go reset the brainwashing screwdriver again.

I'm almost positive someone has done this before (and loads better), but it's all I could think about during my recent Ignore-Reality-And-Watch-TV-Season 8 rewatch. To be fair, there are so many K-words. Cas could easily get confused with so many Deans around.

I am the audience for this meme and it makes me laugh, but also cry a little bit....

Every piece of art I've ever made has been total crap to me. Everyone else that sees it thinks its AMAZING!

No one else can see what you meant to make, they can only see what you did make and that's enough for them.

TIME TO CREATE BUCKAROOS yes there will be little pieces that you keep seeing and thinking 'this is broken this is wrong' but honestly most of these things fall into two categories 1 they give you flavor and power or 2 nobody even notices. NOW GET OUT THERE AND PROVE LOVE BUILD SOMETHING AMAZING

Yes!

"A Scottish field once home to mono-crop barley has become a pollinator’s paradise after intervention from a local trust saw bumblebee numbers increase 100-fold.

Entitled Rewilding Denmarkfield, and run by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the project has also seen a sharp increase in the number of species passing through the rolling meadows after they were reclaimed by dozens of wildflower species.

The area north of Perth is about 90 acres in size, and surveys of bumblebees before the project began rarely recorded more than 50. But by 2023, just two years of letting “nature take the lead” that number has topped 4,000, with the number of different bee species doubling.

“This superb variety of plants attracts thousands of pollinators. Many of these plants, such as spear thistle and smooth hawk’s beard, are sometimes branded as ‘weeds’. But they are all native species that are benefiting native wildlife in different ways,” Ecologist Ellie Corsie, who has been managing the project since it began in 2021, said.

“Due to intensive arable farming, with decades of plowing, herbicide, and pesticide use, biodiversity was incredibly low when we started. Wildlife had largely been sanitized from the fields. Rewilding the site has had a remarkable benefit.”

Similar increases have been recorded in the populations of butterflies, with a tripling in the number of these insects seen on average during a ramble through the field.

The numbers of both insects are now so high that Rewilding Denmarkfield offers bee and butterfly safaris to visitors.

Local residents told the Scotsman that on spring and summer days, the field is awash with color, and hums with the sounds of bees and birds. Even as multiple housing developments expand around the Denmarkfield area, the field is a haven for wildlife."

It is a common error that many faiths believe the souls of the dead depart this plane of existence for some mythical heaven or hell. In fact, the souls of the dead go to UDFj-39546284, a high-redshift Lyman break galaxy in the constellation Fornax, about 32.7 billion light years away. When asked why the dead from across the universe should all be converging on this one faint galaxy, NASA astrophysicists said “it’s like an eel thing,” and refused to elaborate further.

Yes.

This is so important. The older I get the more I realize that my life has been a total cake walk as a cis woman with an incredibly normal uterus and vagina. The older I get the more rage filled I am that any time a woman (say like my daughter) has had abdominal pain doctors are just like *shrug* could be a lot of things, maybe take some advil?

The things the medical profession has not bothered to learn about women's bodies is infuriating. And this was before a bunch of states made being an OB/GYN almost impossible.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.
