Oh holy shit they found Silphium alive and growing in the wild.
Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
fuck "girl lunch" fuck "girl math" a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.
ACTUALLY. anyone up for a survey poll?

Not counting the Batfam, what do you consider your primary area of (DC Comics) interest?
(Teen) Titans (1960s/NTT/'99 "Titans"/etc.)
Young Justice (1998 and/or 2019)
Birds of Prey (any comics iteration)
Superfam
Wonderfam / Amazons
Flashfam
Arrowfam
Green Lanterns / Lantern Corps
Other superhero "family" (Aquafam, Shazamily, etc.)
Other superhero team (JSA, JLI, Outsiders, etc.)
Something that doesn't fit into any of the above categories (tell me!)
Who are these people? I only know Batfam.
This is a comedy
Kind of a Reddit AITA post but sometimes it is a little funny to fuck with people in ways that deliberately conform to a stereotype of what they must think of you. the other day I was talking to my friend and I randomly said that I wanted a pet chimpanzee. I'd dress it in person clothes (dungarees and hats) and I'd teach it to love science fiction. And this girl nearby was like "you know how dangerous those things are, right? Also how unethical it is to keep an ape as your pet for your own amusement" and I was already seeing where the conversation was going so I was pretending ignorance like "yea but it wouldn't just be for my amusement. It would have practical points too." And she ignored that statement entirely to say "Well chimpanzees can rip faces off" and I was like. What's the most frustrating thing I can say now. Finally settled on "Mine wouldn't do that though." and you could tell she wanted to hurt me very very badly. Like a chimpanzee would if I had one as a pet
that post that's like "okay but she did utilise girl power what happened to supporting women's wrongs" annoyed the fuck out of me when it was doing the rounds on here bc the original joke made by eric andre was about MARGARET THATCHER
the joke was intended to undermine that kind of wishy-washy popculture white feminism that leads to people uncritically supporting any woman in power to the point of praising and idolising war criminals and colonisers. the original joke goes "did she effectively utilise girl power when she funded illegal paramilitary death troops in northern ireland". it wasn't a fandom joke!
Need that heavy rain sound type of night
DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one
