see i'm glad i've found mastodon, land of the furries and furry-adjacent, so i can say this and everyone will get what i mean:
as a society we need to recognize that head scritches tap into a deep and powerful source of happy that i personally theorize is leftover from "monkey brain say social grooming good, ook", but basically, we should normalize scritching someone's scalp/playing with their hair/etc. as a good casual loving touch like snuggling
thank you for coming to my ted talk,
HELLvetica. Like helvetica, but with like, much shittier kerning for Halloween.
This trailer is the most hilarious engineering fuckup I've seen in a while, and given my job, that's a pretty hilarious statement all on its own! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0ZuI4gObK4&t=9m2s
Intersex Inclusion Survey; transphobia
The 2019 Intersex Inclusion Survey seeks more people to fill it out, even people who are neither #intersex nor LGBTQ, since part of its purpose is to inquire what people tend to think or believe about intersex people. As tends to happen with surveys like this, a bunch of terfs ended up sending offensive responses to it. It would be helpful to add other voices than theirs. The survey will be open until the end of 2019.

"Dark energy comprises the majority of energy in the universe, and dark matter the majority of matter."
"What's your point?"
"So it shouldn't be a surprise to find dark thoughts, too."
"A majority of thoughts are dark?"
"No, that's not-"
"But have almost no effect."
"... yes "

@netkitty There once was a prelate of Kew
who kept a small cat in a pew.
He taught her to speak
both Latin and Greek
but she never got farther than "μ".
