A paper in Scientific Reports shows that chameleons have evolved a longer, coiled optic nerve that is likely to provide “slack” to reduce tension on the optic nerve during the extensive rotations characteristic of the chameleon eye. go.nature.com/3JTSgQ1 #evosky 🧪

It wasn't anti-white to support boycotting South African teams under apartheid.
It's not Russophobia to support boycotting Russian teams after the invasion of Ukraine.
And it's not antisemitism to support boycotting Israeli teams after a genocide.

Laying awake at 1am wondering if the boxes of Roses and Favourites on the @auntydonnaboys.bsky.social #Drem tour are strictly props carried between venues in a special suitcase or if they're consumed periodically and replaced. Similar question about the hundred bucks.

Exhausted and dehydrated, I slowly walk the last few steps. “This has to be it,” I think to myself. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and turn the handle, whispering a little prayer as I step through. I open my eyes and the last trickle of hope leaks away. I am still in IKEA.

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic
they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

Tits or ass? Bro, the soft light that emanates from her like she’s a moonlit shade. The way her soft voice sounds like leaves turning over before a storm. How moths cling to her fingers like they’re made of lamplight.
