the grasshopper mouse of the southwestern United States looks like a standard house mouse but is almost entirely carnivorous and is known to kill and consume everything from less homicidal mice to goddamn rattlesnakes, which they kill by jumping onto the snake’s back and gnawing through its spine
How could U fail to mention that this fool marks territory by howling? Yunno. Like a wolf
Oh. Oh I am in love with this bastard wolf mouse.
that little guy is locked in an evolutionary arms race (my favourite thing) with bark scorpions (he loves to eat those guys) - he’s not only immune to their venom, but he’s evolved such that that venom acts as an analgesic; he barely even feels the sting because the scorpion’s own venom blocks the pain of it. this effect is strong enough that they don’t really notice even when the scorpion is stinging them repeatedly in the face.

I go to school board & city council meetings regarding trans rights, and something I noticed is that almost every single transfem student who has gone up to defend their right to use the women's lockers & bathrooms has reported being sexually assaulted in school, often multiple times, by cis men & boys.
And yet, what is taken more seriously is the single cisgender girl who went up to speak about her discomfort with trans girls in the lockers & bathrooms. Not danger. Not harm. Not trauma. Discomfort.
The cisgender girl spoke about how she was not comfortable, wheras the transgender girls spoke of how they were not safe. I am somehow supposed to believe these are of equal severity? Eat a fucking brick.
For those of you that may have just finished watching Cory Bookerโs record-breaking senate speech and are inspired to โget in good troubleโ, you have a great opportunity for it this Saturday!
On April 5th, numerous advocacy groups are banding together into one nation-wide rally that will be held in major cities all over the country - you can easily find a participating location here!
Iโll be volunteering as a safety captain at my own local rally, and I encourage all of you to go out there too and get in some good trouble as well!
And a damn lot of rather minor cities also.
