Would you like to order a little picture of a robot? I'm offering commissions of existing robots in a new style that can use as icons for stuff or whatever you like! Prices start at £20 per picture. Contact me on here if you're interested.
We know that the term "cesarean section" doesn't really derive from actual events involving Julius Caesar or his ancestors because, prior to modern antibiotics and other medical advances, delivering a child by surgery was basically always fatal to the mother. It was only ever tried as a last resort.
before antibiotics did people just die all the time from everything?

Yes, yes they did, including a substantial percentage of all children born, well into the early 20th century. You can google child-mortality charts and everything.
People born after 1945 were almost literally the first generation in human history not to experience mass death.

Remember they think it’s your responsibility to vote for someone who’s ideologically opposed to your existence, so that someone who’s equally ideologically opposed to your existence in a different coloured hat doesn’t get power, and not their responsibility to give you someone worth voting for

414) Horsebot. When developing Unicornbot, one of the issues was the horn interface firmware. In order to progress with the project, we made a number of hornless prototypes. So, here's Horsebot: it gets a bit sad because it isn't magical but it's still a very good robot. #SmallRobotsRemastered

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

I think what I find most offensive about this is the idea that government is so deeply interested in the mental health of teenagers, when it's presently trying to cover up a massive increase in suicides that appear directly connected to its legislation around healthcare for trans teens

Not gonna post that Musk screenshot, but I just want to say that, even by the low, low standards of racists, describing US culture as being derived solely from that of the peoples of the British-Irish Archipelago (which, furthermore, is not exactly a coherent population in itself!) is woeful stuff.

When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.
