each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both)
this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months.
this is an existential threat to fascists.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

Today is the first of 25 days of #Crustmas! Post as many crustaceans as possible! (not just crabs) 🦑🧪
This year I'm less personally inclined towards "crabs are the ultimate form", and my piece below explains why.
PS all posts will be right here on the crab feed 🦀

Baikalposting!!! Did you know that Lake Baikal had 2 independent adaptive radiations of gammarid amphipod crustaceans? 🧪
They have many lifestyles, like planktonic, sponge commensal, giant spiny predator, and deep water "abyssal"

there's an entire superorder (very big category) of crustaceans called Syncarids, and like 99% of them are tiny white eyeless sub-millimeter things living in cavewater, except in Tasmania, where they just casually live on the surface world like regular shrimp. infuriating
