PSA: WhaMariahGeddon starts tomorrow, so today is your last chance to binge-listen Last Christmas by Wham, and All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey (if you're doing the double challenge).

Rules are in the pic. God speed.
WhaMariahGeddon rules: 1. Try to avoid hearing Last Christmas by Wham (and All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey if you're doing the double) from 1 December until midnight on Christmas Eve; 2. Only the versions by the original artists count, covers don't get you out; 3. As soon as you hear the song you're out and go directly to WhamHalla). Post to let us know; 4. Intentionally getting others out is a dick move. Don't be a dick. God speed

Thanks for sharing. And in the spirit of reciprocity in this utter shitshow of a world, here's a pic of our resident possum.

Image of a post that says the word of the day is 'latibulate' (17th century): to hide in a corner in an attempt to escape reality. There's a comment below that says 'ok well we're bringing that back obviously'.

I love this little guy.
Close up of a little puppy's face. He's asleep and looking super cute.

Post saying the "Book will turn your kids trans" crowd really need to start explaining why I am not, in fact, a very hungry caterpillar, followed by a comment saying "on a related note, they should also explain why reading the Bible does not make you a Christian."

Here's your semi-frequent reminder that the term 'biological sex' is nonsense.
Description of variations where a person may appear to be one sex but may be biologically a different sex.

"It's scientific fact that humans come in two varieties - XX for female and XY for male."

EXCEPT:

- You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age 12.
"It's scientific fact that humans come in two varieties - XX for female and XY for male." EXCEPT: - You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age 12. - You can be born legally male with an X and a y chromosome, but your body is insensitive to androgens, and you appear female. - You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, and have a penis and testes, *and* a uterus and fallopian tubes. -You can be born legally male with an X and aY chromosome, but your Y chromosome is missing the SRY gene, which gives you a female body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but one of the Xs has an SRY gene, which gives you a male body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes -and also a Y chromosome, which gives you a a male body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but your adrenal gland doesn't produce enough cortisol, and your body develops as a male. - You can be born with XX chromosomes *and* XY chromosomes (chimerism). So the next time you attempt to use science as justification for your bigotry, remember that humans exist in many variations, and maybe stop trying to stuff everyone into little "male or female" checkboxes.
