It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

I do love Dracula as a Billy-no-mates pretending to have servants. Almost Fawltyesque. “I am informed that your supper is ready...”

I feel like this quote is the quote of quotes of our time
"There is no arc of history bending towards justice. There's only us, working to make the world a better place."
I loved this conversation with three of my favorite writers in the world.

Our latest episode is about writing historical fiction. How do you research the past, and how do you make it feel urgent in the present? We talked to @nicolaz.bsky.social and @tananarivedue.bsky.social to find out more!

People asked Meryl Streep how she could REALLY not have known about Weinstein, and she was basically like “because I’m fucking Meryl Streep, and I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know.” she was vital as part of the cover story

Apollo 8 was my favorite Apollo mission probably because it was my first time to work in Mission Control.

So, yeah, I don't know much about the situation with Gaiman, but I do know that when I see a person smiling, thanking, supporting a man they later accuse of sexual assault, I don't see an impossible contradiction.
