  • Watch out with that comment about trans women having an unfair advantage in beauty pagents, it sounds like hyperbole, but Janice Raymond claimed basically that

  • I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined

  • If you're cis it's probably a good idea, definitely check how long you can renew a passport. A passport is just generally a really good thing to have

  • Wild that Michigan is so low unless it's just because of those IDs that let you into bordering countries if you live in a border state

  • We really need to move to the point where if cops can't do whqt the city government tells them then they're fired or not being paid. If I knew I could just ignore whatever my boss tells me, never get fired or even seriously disciplined, and demand a raise every year, you bet your ass I'd be doing things however I want.

  • Medusa likely would have had tiny snakes growing from her upper lip and chin as she aged.

  • I could never go down on her, I'd just keep getting distracted by the cute snakes

  • Also within mythology different people completely change the story to fit their narratives. There are stories of Medusa where she's just an ancient monster from before the Olympian age.

    Also to add to your bit about the Amazons, it's likely that they were just the mythologization of the people of the Eurasian steppes such as the Scythians. They had a lot less divisions in gender than the Greeks including female warriors and leaders. To the Greeks that's the same as a society completely run by women who are "less of women" where men are subjugated (though be aware, I'm telling this story, and that right there was a parallel I threw in to compare the Greeks to modern anti feminists, just like how bits of mythology got tweaked as they entered new cultures and contexts). But yeah Tomyris of Scythia is said to have killed Cyrus the Great of Persia. And the Romans continued the Greek tradition of accusing any society where women could hold the same power as men of being a matriarchy totally comparable to their patriarchy, something we have no evidence of ever being a thing historically.

  • Congrats! Nothing better than being cancer free, except maybe being cancer free for free.

  • Nah Fedora's a girl, sorry that's how you find out your mom is gay

  • I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day

    Jump

  • An algorithm that actively attempts to keep me out of bubbles sounds like an algorithm that ensures I keep seeing bigoted opinions about people like me. I do think that there can be decent uses of algorithms, but I don't think that corporate social media is going to provide it.

    I also think we have a serious problem of a lot of people want the algorithm. It's extremely habit forming and mindless. Hell I much preferred it back in the early days to having to find new websites and all that. It just came with a massive price I wouldn't've paid had I known.

  • Worst day of my life

    Jump

  • Personally, yeah usually. A poorly written sapphic romance can hold my interest, but a straight one has to have me really caring about the characters or finding the romance relatable (Sanderson is really good for that) in order for me to not be wanting it to hurry up and get back to the good stuff.

  • TIL that Radon is a radioactive substance which can cause cancer. Colorado is full of radon. The average level of radon in Colorado homes is 6.4 pCi/L, which is equivalent to 200 chest X-rays a year

  • The great lakes region is really cool! I recommend people check it out if they can, though if you aren't from the US you should stick to the Canadian side at the moment unfortunately (not that it's any worse, but the whole region is cool).

  • What right could be more intimate and involiable than that of bodily autonomy? And such what sin could be greater than to deny it?

  • Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is an absolute nightmare.

    Jump

  • Ah yeah that sucks. I'm an industrial engineer and routinely days of heavy snow have been "show up to work an hour or two late because of the snow, get sent home with pay after an hour because nobody showed up and the power is about to go out"

  • PNW here, nope, it's just a light rain, sometimes some sun, but that's seasonal. Rarely there's a storm.

    The Midwest on the other hand, nah it typically gives you fair warning when it's about to do something crazy
