Seriously though, women and queers identifying with monstrosity in the face of societal demonization is something I am 500% here for.

trans substantiation (🔥, ~) 

wait, what? who told you i was "trapped in a man's body" like i demonically possessed some guy and then got stuck? this is no man's body, it's *mine*

i mean sure, there are aspects of it that make me want to cry (some of which i can change but most of which i can only learn to live with)

but that's not unique to my being trans, it's just that human bodies were a mistake in general

anyway, you want transhumanism? we'll show you transhumanism :trans_heart:

I'm still going on about Elite Dangerous 

This system is absolutely wild.

I'm still going on about Elite Dangerous 

Okay, black holes are *really* spooky. Just found one that's about three solar masses.

Completely invisible and absolutely *tiny*. I couldn't see anything visually until I got within about 100km (!!!) and even then the body itself was invisible. I just started unexpectedly noticed all the background stars start warping and moving from the gravitational lensing.

it's super impressive to me that free public lending libraries are like, a thing.

Awesome Chrome extension: when you view the listing for a book on Amazon or whatever, this lets you know if it's available from the local library.

don’t come at me shy about being “back on your bullshit” – life is *all about* being on your bullshit, go hard okay

@noelle Plant nerd note: There are a number of animals that use chlorophyll within their bodies, I think this funky fish is just the only one to use it (or a derivative) in order to sense light that it is also producing.

Meet the stoplight loosejaw! It's one of three species of fish (the other two are in the same family, Stomiidae, the dragonfishes) that can produce red bioluminescence; since red light from the sun doesn't penetrate to the depths the loosejaw lives in, its prey fish can't see it. So the stoplight loosejaw has an invisible flashlight for hunting.

Bonus: it's the only animal that uses chlorophyll, and it uses it to see the red light that it emits.

Postfurry: A Personal Definition with Regards to Identity 

"Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible later, won't be completely valid later, and doesn't mean it's not perfectly valid NOW."

Is there a concise way to tag"I'm kind of shy about this and hesitant to make this post but have decided to share it anyway"?

In Factorio, you can apparently equip at least four speed enhancement legs on your powered exoskeleton.

My preferred interpretation is that the player character becomes a taur.

Lb: generally, just try to strip what you can out of that 300-character URL. Most of it isn't related to locating a resource.

FYI, when sharing a link, check if the following are present in the URL

utm_content
utm_medium
utm_source
utm_campaign
#sm.( followed by random string)

These are “engagement trackers” and they can reveal your source for the URL

Consider the #privacy implications if you include them. They’re not needed for the website you’re visiting to actually show you the content
