I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again –

Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone.

Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.

If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time.

And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office.

Reblogging hard for that last comment.

I WANTED TO SAY THIS BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE DID and I’m damn proud.

Moves as smoothly as an ocean liner.

I couldn’t tell what it was at first, but that wasn’t what I was expecting

i thought it was an otter, then i thought it was a shark, and let me say i was wrong both times

I promise you this is not any of the things you think it is.

Don’t worry, guys. Carl is clearly a brachiosaurus, which lived during the Jurassic period. (And before anyone says our lil’ boy Steve is a velociraptor and therefore puts our comic in the late cretaceous, aka the time of the comet–that lil guy could easily be a compsognathus or a caudipteryx, both Jurassic-era species of small theropod dinosaurs. So the light getting bigger every night is going to pass by harmlessly, and Steve and Carl can go on enjoying the stars together until they die of old age, since Carl has very few natural predators at his size and I bet he’ll protect Steve, if he needs it (though small, fast and carnivorous as Steve is, he probably won’t).

So it’s all good!!

That entire response explaining how these two characters didn’t die a fiery death but instead lived long and happy lives literally made my day.

So, when labs go to take serology samples, they want to keep the rats as calm and still as possible so nobody gets bit!

Their solution to this?

pastry bags

dsfkdjf

they even make mouse sized ones

This strongly reminds me of the tubes used to weigh songbirds from mistnetting.

Now these are some interesting restraint techniques…

Listening to Lore today made me wonder: Do you have any thoughts on why horses seem so commonly associated with water in mythology? Poseidon’s horses, the kelpies, the phouka, the miscellaneous other lake monsters (like Champ) often described as “horse-like”…horses and water wouldn’t be my first mental connection, but it seems common across several cultures. If there IS really a lake monster species out there that’s “horse-like,” any conjecture what sort of creature it might be?

drferox:

I think horses are monster enough, but I think their consistent association with water and the ocean is because their sweat foams with friction.

Ancient people didn’t exactly have bubble baths and dishwashing detergent to compare to, so the thing that looks most like these foaming, wet, working horses is probably just sea foam.

So logically, that must be what these creatures are made from. And then the story just gets adapted to the local landscape over time.

If you don’t manage to have children in your lifetime, you are ending a bloodline which lasted, unbroken, for 3.8 billion years..

Fuck off Shinzo Abe i know this is your account

The bloodline of any given worm is also 3.8 billion years long.

Just to let people know, Tumblr is deleting porn bots. Which means as they do this, other accounts end up unfollowing blogs – without actually clicking the unfollow themselves- so, just make sure you’re still following your favourite blogs because, for some reason, I’ve unfollowed ten accounts without me doing that myself!
