this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it

straight trans people arent “a waste” actually. straight trans women arent “cursed” with attraction to men. straight trans men arent “predators” who transition to male privilege. yall have GOT to be normal about straight trans people

To expand on the crumbling of the patriarchal edifice of the family.

If society agrees that children can know themselves, and have a right to self determination…. Everything else that Conservatives argue they have a right to exert over children crumbles. As just two examples….

ALL corporal punishment rightfully becomes recognised for the assault it is.

Failure to appropriately consider the wishes of children in medical care and provide information in an age appropriate way is recognised as child abuse and malpractice.

Children are entire people, they deserve all of the rights, privileges and protections afforded to adults.

One single republican decided to base his vote on a reasonable evaluation of available data and it quite possibly improved thousands of lives. I hope maybe in my lifetime I’ll see an America where that isn’t shocking for a politician to do, and maybe one in which people’s entire well being doesn’t come down to just one extra guy having a shred of decency.

something very charming about “I don’t really know what’s going on here but I don’t think it’s my problem” as a response to the anti-trans hysteria

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture
upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

An image of the three pyramids (and three satellite pyramids) on the Giza plateau that looks exactly the same as you've always seen it: Menkaure's smaller pyramid and the three queen's pyramids are in the foreground, with Khafre's pyramid looming behind it. Behind Khafre's pyramid is Khufu's, a.k.a. the Great Pyramid, which looks slightly smaller than Khafre's in this image.ALT

followed by

Another photo of the pyramids of the Giza plateau. This time the pyramids are all shown from the same distance, so that the distance between them is clear as well as their relative size. It's now painfully obvious that Khufu's Great Pyramid on the far right is indeed the largest, with Khafre's in the centre only an increment smaller. Menkaure's pyramid, on the other hand, is less than half the height of Khafre's.ALT

is such a funny sequence

i find most people who haven’t seen it in person don’t know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

image

I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they’re literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd

image

No, y'all don’t even understand.

There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.

That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get “lost in the desert near the pyramids”, because it’s like… just turn around my dudes you’re only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop

Yall don’t know how much I adore all of this

the common name “fools gold” for iron pyrite is funnier than we give credit for. imagine scientists discover a new metal and they’re like “We’re calling this Copper for Idiots”
