TIL plants make caffeine to defend themselves against pests. Caffeine is toxic to birds, dogs, cats, and it has a pronounced adverse effect on mollusks, various insects, and spiders.

Coffee plant: *evolves caffeine* Safe at last

Humans: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Why are we like this….

the fact that we can’t drink sea water even tho its the most common type of water just bc its 3% salt yet we can safely consume multiple forms of literal poison and even benefit from doing so just blows my fucking mind

I’ve always thought this aspect of humans needed to be
included in the “humans are space orcs/united federation of hold my beer”
threads: “Caffeine and theobromine are toxic even to most Earth creatures. To
humans, they’re key ingredients in their favourite candy.”

Walkin’ like a man

Hitting like a hammer

She’s a juvenile scam

Never was a quitter

Swayin’ to the band

Movin’ like a hammer

She’s a miracle man

She got the look

Do yourself a favor and go listen to The Look by Roxette.

I rediscovered a bunch of music from my early childhood and I love this song even more now. The band was asked what the song meant and they admitted that they were focusing on the music and just added whatever random lyrics that fit the beat. Only later did they realize that it could have a deeper meaning.

Yeah, there are unrealistic body images for men.

No, it’s not the same.

For men, the unrealistic body image is the ideal.

For women, it’s the expectation.

so HEY it looks like a bunch of TERFs have gotten a hold of this post and it’s making its way around the “radfem/terf” blogs.

Just for the record, I’d love it if TERFs would keep their fucking exclusionary hands off my post but that ain’t my call.

And when I say “men” or “women,” I am including trans men and trans women in both of those terms.

Difference in how they’re approached normally that I’m so tired of…

Society: hey men, abs are wonderful but dad bods are neat too! Look at this show with an overweight guy and his bombshell wife! Also look at this guy in his fifties who is sexiest man alive!

Society: hey women, if your thighs touch and you have the slightest outward curve to your stomach you’re fat and need xyz diet pills. You’ll never find love. And are those wrinkles??? You’re 30?? Too old.

Let people have their bodies and stop pushing photoshopped unrealistic versions of both in our faces.

Everyone: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND ENOUGH. Society is fucked so don’t listen to it.

also i literally do not care whether you prefer pads or tampons but the fact that in almost every situation where free period supplies are available, they’re tampons, and this is just assumed to be fine (or people like campaigning for “free tampons” rather than “free menstrual products”) upsets me bc there are a lot of people who use pads who cannot use tampons and i don’t understand why tampons are considered not just the default but the only option worth mentioning

like i’ve never been able to use a tampon comfortably and functionally. there are plenty of people who cannot use tampons or prefer not to use them, and they require a good amount of education to be used safely. that’s not to say that tampons shouldn’t be provided but that we shouldn’t be forcing people to use them bc they’re all that is offered

I wonder what the roots of tampons being the default are? Was it an odd lobbying effort by tampon companies? Are they just the most popular product type so people ignore others?
