I wish I had a screenshot of this but roommate A encountered a dude on tinder who said in his profile that he was an “alpha male” who “always likes to be in charge” and therefore “hates public transit because someone else is in control” as if this was meant to be somehow….. attractive…… to women…..

it’s things like this that make me really goddamn grateful to be a lesbian

did you know hummingbirds not only drink nectar, they also hunt for insects and arachnids?

because I did not know this until recently and, let me tell you, watching a hummingbird slurp up a spider in a flash of long red tongue is somehow unspeakably weird.

I FOUND SOMEBODY WHO WRITES LESBIAN REGENCY NOVELS.  Penelope Friday has written:

Loving My Lady – A young gentlewoman is saved from destitution by an offer to be a lady’s companion–and her new position includes duties and pleasures she never imagined.

The Sisterhood –  A debutante to London Society discovers many unexpected things–but none more unexpected than a group of women who share a secret.

Petticoats and Promises – Two young lovers are parted when one of them suffers a sudden loss of fortune and social status, and they must struggle to find a way to be together.

So many people I need to tag on this? @athousandwords, @w1tchmom, uh…. who else…. @romancingthebookworm? idk but anyway

@aporeticelenchus have you tried these?

my arctic environment professor on narwhals: “they’re pretty interesting creatures, I guess, even though they’re not birds.”

my arctic environment professor on a colleague: “this is [name], she used to study polar bears but has improved her life and works on birds now.”
