Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread]

I suspect this is technically true, and can be seen as such so long as one understands that part of what he means by "respect" is that if Russian troops walk into your territory and start demanding you pay taxes to Moscow and cetera then you meekly accept this state of affairs. Do that and no wars!

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

as always with wild saint lore, I’m just as interested in WHY certain legends stick. there’s something really moving in the idea of centuries of Catholics repeating and repeating a story where Mary’s miracle was saving two men from homophobes

tumblr just brought this to my attention (i have discovered the queer leftist catholic corner of tumblr and it is a delight), and i want to make sure @clairewillett.bsky.social knows about it too:

For queer Catholics, this icon of Mary is a reminder that her loving care and protection extends to all her children.
