Just a heads up right now: on the day when Trump dies, I’m going to be extremely tasteless about it. It’s going to get ugly. You are going to see a side of me I am not proud of. I don’t want any call-outs in my inbox, I’m stating right now that lines will be crossed.

idk who needs to be told this but "you should eat vegetables regularly" is not diet industry propaganda. the reason you should eat vegetables isn't because they're low calorie or low fat or whatever, it's because they contain vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and a whole bunch of other shit that your body needs to live that isn't found in most other foods. you are an omnivore you need a varied diet!!!

Made a few murderbot posts that seem to resonate with the fandom so i got to find out there's a variety of tags

Murderbot Diaries -also normal and provides clarification between the character and the series, which is respectable but i can't be arsed to go to this level of specification because I come from superhero comics

The Murderbot Diaries -fine. You have more free time on your hands than I do to include the "the"

Examples of how oppositional sexism has poisoned trans discourse:

It is a fact that transmascs who have uteruses experience sexist oppression based on their anatomy. If you say this, though, you will get flocks of people (both agreers and disagreers) claiming this means that transfems who have penises must experience privilege based on that. Which is blatantly and obviously false. The fact that having a uterus makes you marginalized does not mean that having a penis always makes a person privileged. This is a fallacy.

It is a fact that transfems experience misogyny. If you say this, though, you will get flocks of people claiming that this must mean transmascs don’t experience misogyny. Which is blatantly and obviously false. There is not a limited amount of misogyny to go around. More outgroups to harm only means that the ingroup is more exclusive.

By using antibodies from a human donor with a self-induced hyper-immunity to snake venom, scientists have developed the most broadly effective antivenom to date, which is protective against the likes of the black mamba, king cobra, and tiger snakes in mouse trials. Described in the journal Cell, the antivenom combines protective antibodies and a small molecule inhibitor and opens a path toward a universal antiserum.

I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.
