rewatched xmen (2000) why is logan so babygirl

*superintendent chalmers voice* yes, so you call it oven despite the fact that you obviously of in the cold food of out hot eat the food

I feel like people forget most trans guys still had to grow up as girls.

We were still forced to be mature early

We were still told to not to take up space

We were still subject to female beauty standards

Our bodies were still treated as inappropriate

We were still pitted against each other

We were still excluded from “male” activities

We were still treated as lesser the boys

Those things don’t evaporate once we transition they’re fucking internalized. I constantly have to remind myself I’m allowed to exist. We don’t stop dealing with misogyny.

It’s crazy when people say that the X-men doesn’t have queer themes when they can’t read between the lines about Nightcrawler’s catholic guilt, Angel having to bind his wings, Charles and Erik clearly being implied to be more than close friends or Scott, Jean and Logan being implied to be in a romantic relationship throughout many comics and how so many fans ignore Mystique and Destiny’s complex romance or Gambit’s strong and obviously bisexual vibes and gender nonconformity as well as Iceman and his entire character arc as a mutant in X-men 2 being an queer allegory

“this is me btw if you even care” well i don’t

Big shout out to the xmen movies almost never showing women in an exposed or voyeuristic way, but not hesitating to undress Hugh Jackman at every given chance

In the aqua rium. straight up “admiring it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. The fish

The explosion community is dying btw. Reblog to blow up the person you're reblogging this from

i bring a “i made it :D” to the “omg where did you get your clothes 😍” that people who participate in subcultures “for the aesthetic” don’t really appreciate

"I like men who look like girls"

Me, a trans guy who sucks at passing: I have GREAT news for you

Would perish for sturgeon tbh

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the green sturgeon!

The green sturgeon, scientific name Acipenser medirostris, is known for being one of the few sturgeon species in North America, and their distinctive color. Like many fish in the modern day, the green surgeon has both a historic range, and a far reduced current range. The historic range stretches the entire coast of California and Oregon, spawning in the Klamath river, and traveling in rivers between the two freely,  but the modern range is only a fraction of what it once was. 

The current populations are scattered between Southern Washington, Oregon, Pacific ocean, and Northern California. In the modern day they can be found along a number of rivers during their breeding season: The mouth of the Columbia river, Umpqua river, Klamath river, Rouge river, and Eel river to name a few, but these fish also have a section of their life spent along the coast line. Within these habitats, the green sturgeon can be found living along the bottom of rivers, preferring to spend time around the beds of environments.

Green sturgeon have a diet similar to that of other sturgeon: small invertebrates that it sucks up from the ocean bed, primarily shrimp, worms, crabs, and bugs. They eat prey with large lip-like structures around the mouth that are used for sucking up prey. Nearby their mouth is a set of sensitive barbells that determine where prey is. These barbells (located close to the mouth) also happen to be one of the defining features of the green sturgeon from their closely related and often range sharing relatives: the white sturgeon (whose barbells are located a bit farther from the mouth).

The lifecycle of the green sturgeon is simple. For the first 3 years of their lives after hatching, they will live within the rivers of their spawning. It was assumed that young green sturgeon would act similarly to white sturgeon, but the behavior of their juveniles are entirely different. When white sturgeon young are born, they move downstream and live along the surface of the water. However, green sturgeon have eggs that settle into the rocks below, seeking cover. Then, once they have aged 9 days and can forage appropriately, they then disperse up and downstream, giving each sturgeon a large area to forage independently. Interestingly, the green sturgeon juveniles forage exclusively at night for the first 10 months of their lives, and were found to have the most nocturnal behaviours of any sturgeon in North America.  This nocturnal behavior continues into their first winter, where after migrating to wintering areas, they will only forage at night and hide in dark areas during the day.

After the three years living within their freshwater spawning rivers, the green sturgeon juveniles will make a trip to the coastline of the Pacific, already at a size of 1 foot in length. This is the second part of their lifespan, and the sturgeon will live along the coastline for around 10 years in females, and around 6 years in males. This part of their life is relatively unknown, as they tend to stray away from animals that aren't invertebrates and hide along the sea bed from anything resembling a predator. Leaving us in the dark to any interesting behaviors during this part of their lives. Then, in adulthood these fish will repeatedly travel back to the spawning rivers to have eggs during March-July having a breeding season every 3-5 years, returning back to the ocean once the breeding season ends. These fish will live around 60-70 years, going through over a dozen breeding seasons in a lifetime.

That's the green sturgeon, everyone! Have a good day!

Not with that attitude

It's dangerous to go alone, take this

Happy World Goth Day!

Remember, there is no one way to be goth.

Be aware of the bands that helped form the subculture (Bauhaus, Siouxsie, The Cure, etc.), but also know there are all sorts of goth music subgenres, so explore!

Goth is for everyone. If someone tells you that you have to be thin, white, young, able-bodied, etc. to be a Real Goth, ignore them. They're wrong.

Goth fashion is based in DIY and combining random bits until you have a look that makes you happy. Goth fashion isn't about spending huge amounts of money at various big 'goth lifestyle' websites.

Always support indie bands, artists, clothing designers, jewelers, etc. when you can. Posting about/promoting them is support!

With much love,

god i love the blue catfish so much. kind of a terrifying superpredator honestly. they like living in muddy water so their eyesight is dogshit, but they've got these huge barbels around their face to feel around, and their whole body is covered in almost two hundred thousand tastebuds to figure out exactly where their prey is, and they've got a special adipose fin to be extra tuned-in to water currents/pressure, and they have super keen senses of hearing at really low AND high frequencies, and they ALSO have a deeply forked tail to decrease drag so they can just cruise around and gulp down literally whatever they want, including other catfish, even in like zero-visibility water where every other animal is basically blind. and they get so fucking stupid huge with this technique that nothing can grab them because they're as big as a person. and if an eagle or something does grab one before it's gotten big enough to be eagle-proof, the catfish has fucking POISON KNIVES on its fins to not only stab things but also envenomate them in the process

you may not like it, but THIS is what peak performance looks like

here's something stupid: the catcatfish

some quick facts:

they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.

they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.

their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.

they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.

the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.

they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

gonna make fish art later call that fart

AQUARIUM
