Honestly the mere fact that some people refer to Daddy Long Legs as “harvestmen” is creepier than 90% of all deliberately created horror but like the worst part is that the alternative is calling them Daddy Long Legs
True harvestmen, and not cellar spiders which are the other Daddy Long Legs, are truly omnivorous- known to eat everything from spiders, to fecal matter, to leaves and fungus… But one of the singularly most interesting habits of a particular European species is their almost symbiotic relationship with beehives– particularly man-made beehives. When a bee dies inside the hives, workers will remove the the corpse to just outside the hive just before dark. And the harvestmen? Well, they live up to their name.
So what you’re saying is that they are the grim reaper for bees.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.
A series of decisions by the Obama administration loosened the legal concept of gender in federal programs, including in education and health care, recognizing gender largely as an individual’s choice and not determined by the sex assigned at birth. The policy prompted fights over bathrooms, dormitories, single-sex programs and other arenas where gender was once seen as a simple concept. Conservatives, especially evangelical Christians, were incensed.
Now the Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times.
The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times. Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing.
Kinda fucked up how cis women are allowed to abandon feminity in the name of feminism but trans women are forced to adopt it just to be recognized as women
even worse is when cis feminists accuse trans women who overperform femininity for safety of being tools of the patriarchy, and trans women who underperform femininity for ANY reason (including abandoning it in the name of feminism) fakers.
I made a post about this very thing a year ago! she had reached out to me asking me to take it down because it’d ruin her image if ppl saw her as a scammer… and then continued to take on more commissions (without finishing other batches) after doing so. the conversation felt very manipulative saying she considered me a friend, how could i do this to her, etc etc when we’ve only ever had business transactions or i gave her money throughout those years and never once developed an actual friendship?? and tbh i fell into the guilt even though she was the one who has been setting this image herself, let alone fucking over a ton of commissioners myself included. i had a few friends who commissioned her as well around the same time i did who had extremely long wait times, 0 responses, uncompleted work, etc. My commission took 9 months with periodic patient emails for months at a time asking for updates going without a reply from her as well.
i was her first commissioner back in 2014.. so idk it hit hard to be this disappointed in how she treats her followers and customers. i really loved her art and throughout the years supported her where i could when i had the money. don’t take your business with her, don’t trust her, she’s shady af, take your money elsewhere.
