not to Discourse but I’m a cis man and my partner is an afab enby and if you call us a “straight couple” I will personally come to your house tie you to a chair and make you listen to a podcast about gender identity on endless repeat

Reblog to kill it faster

I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie

Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.

Trying to make a point to my father.

Look at you strawberry frog 🐸🍓

Hold still. This creature was recorded going 2,569 days without moving.

Salamanders play the long game, with many species living surprisingly long lives. But among these enduring amphibians, there is one outlier – the olm, also known as the proteus.

It has been well documented that these small white cave-dwelling salamanders can live well into their hundreds, but scientists have now gained new insight into the creatures’ glacial pace of life.

In a study which makes sloths look recklessly hyperactive, divers documenting the movements of olms in Herzegovinian caves found that over a decade, individuals tended to move less than 10 metres in total.

However, one extraordinarily inert individual was found not to have bothered moving once in over seven years.

Olms have no predators, are highly resistant to starvation – able to go without food for several years – are blind and live in complete darkness underground and underwater.

They are apparently only compelled to move in order to mate, which they do on average around once every 12.5 years.

In the caves in which they dwell food is typically scarce, but when they are able, olms feed on small crustaceans such as small shrimps, snails and occasionally insects.

there’s no one AFAB in my family, it’s just me and my dad (my mom left when I was little). so my dad has never had to deal with “girl stuff“ before.

until yesterday when I came out to him as trans and he was just like “cool, I’ve always wanted a daughter I could brag about.” WHICH IS THE BEST THING HE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SAID

but then, IT GOT BETTER. this morning over breakfast, my dad was like “I did some research on girl stuff, and I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping for dresses or makeup. Or just shopping.”

HE’S BEING SO SWEET ABOUT THIS ITS FUCKIN WILD. I DIDNT THINK HE KNEW WHAT TRANS MEANS YET HERE WE ARE
