Reposting this because I really love it.
My favourite video of hers as a bonus: the vestal virgins of Rome’s hairstyle called the “seni crines”.
I don’t know music, so I don’t understand what I’m looking at (though I do like it), but I just showed this to my husband, and his jaw hit the floor.
How she do that
She just shat all over every guitar player in the top 40 with a bent guitar that’s not even tuned correctly (and missing its top e string)
Oh my goodness. Wow. Ive never seen something so amazing. Who is this woman?
Make her a superstar.
This gave me shivers.

The doctors’ names in this episode are references to fictional doctors who created living beings out of dead bodies, just like the mutant fusions.

35. If you were ever uncomfortable about a joke or a statement you overheard related to your race, ethnicity, gender, appearance, or sexual orientation but felt unsafe to confront the situation, take one step back.I did this on a calculator, starting at 0, using the step forward as a +1 and back as a - 1. My result was an 8. I hope with what time on this planet I have I can help people around me get as nice of a number as I did
We did this in my into to sociology class in college, and it ended very awkwardly with myself and two other students waaaay at the back of the classroom and everyone else in a line at the front literally touching the blackboard. It wasn’t these exact questions, but it was close. One of the realest moments of my freshman year of college.
I just did the same thing as you with the calculator, and I got -1
My score was a 1. I spent a lot of this test oscillating backwards and forwards as my privileges got outweighed by my disadvantages.
Pretty certain the results would be more disparate if we could do the opposite instruction if the qualifying statement did not apply.

So it looks like trans women being able to bear children is much closer than I thought
Uterus Transplants have successfully been completed (for cis women) in the last few years:
One (cis) woman has given birth so far from a transplanted uterus
A trans woman has stepped forward to be the first to attempt this proceedure
And finally, science can now grow (cis women) a vagina from their own stem cells
If the transplant people start talking to the stem cell people, this might be viable in my life time!
OH MY GOD! this makes me so happy because i know so many trans women who want to have children :) eeeeee im hoping for everyone who wants this!

Spoon talked about this animation recently and I really enjoyed it so I thought I’d post it here so more people could see it. It’s a really lovely bit of 70s Soviet animation, about the inner workings of a broken music box.
This is amazing.
And it reminds me loads of the movie Yellow Submarine. I wonder which one inspired which?
