Since Clydesdales are horses named (indirectly) for the river Clyde, that makes them river horses, so a Clydesdale is a hippopotamus.

My name is Ozymops, look upon my velvety wings, my power of flight, and be envious.

"My name is Ozzymandias, look at my works and say
"Has he lost his mind?
Can he see, or is he blind?
Can he walk at all?
Or if he moves, will he fall?"

please check out my radiation therapy fundraiser if you see this ❤️
it sounds harsh, but the clock is ticking and the wider the gaps are between the sessions, the least effective the radiation will be at shrinking the tumor.

The responses on this have been fascinatingly polarizing depending on whether people consider visual appearance or tactile texture, I'll have to get some more snow and ice options as the winter continues!

I genuinely think that trans people need to fight a bigger fight about research ethics governing our treatment. "Trans rights are human rights" is vague.
No research without consent is specific.

It's right that trans people should be able to refuse to be subjects in research being conducted with an aim of reducing their options in life, reducing their comfort and wellbeing.

This is literally what the slogan "nothing about us without us" originated out of in the disabled people's movement and I think trans rights organising can sometimes miss our connections to the social harms of medical authority and disablement.

The rise and decline of Old Copper Culture tools, starting with the Midcontinent Rift System that generated the largest native #copper deposits in the world.
Was the copper just too pure? 😮

#Copper has been holding on to an 8% lead most of the match. It’s a lot, but #Molybdenite could catch up.

#OreCup finals are between a pair of bewitching ore minerals that glitter and gleam. But only one can have your vote.
Will it be native copper or molybdenite? You’re running out of time to choose!

I think it's cool how copper connects to tectonics - a failed rift in Michigan, ocean floor stranded by convergent tectonics in Cyprus - and how that tectonics connects to human use of metals.
