Tell ya what pretty fucked up to see terf language “man who identifies as a woman” in an official ruling
For example, the Supreme Court is saying that a trans woman gets protection as a woman if she 'passes'. Whether that's right or wrong ethically it's totally at odds with the Supreme Court's blithe assertion that its decision 'is neither disadvantageous to nor removes protections from trans people'.

Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen!

Guacamole is made of avocados, but the word 'guacamole' itself contains 'avocado' too.
Via Spanish, 'guacamole' stems from Classical Nahuatl 'āhuacamōlli', literally "avocado sauce".
Its first part, 'āhuaca-', is the stem of 'āhuacatl', which became 'avocado' in English.

The whole point of studying the 1930s is to foster hyper-awareness.
We should be nervous, pessimistic, jumpy. We should call out the first rumblings, the accidental tells, the faintest glimmers.
Because it was so monstrous that even the whiff of it is existential
