has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's bill breaking the egg, and it leads forward the birth of an earth-worm and the advent of Socrates.' ...

Fossil fan art!!! In the Triassic this Broomistega (an amphibian ancestor) crawled into the burrow of a Thrinaxodon (a mammal ancestor) to escape a flood. When the burrow caved in they were frozen forever in an eternal cuddle (this makes me cry)

To add, when we talk about Israel's crimes against Palestinians, we must do that with the understanding that Israel views Palestinians as an existential threat. We cannot rationalise that, obviously, but this idea of Palestinians from all ages and walks of life, present a threat to the existence of Israel is a crucial point to consider in our discussions. To know that, to Israel, a Palestinian refugee poses as much threat to its existence as an armed Palestinian resistance fighter, is to understand why the former is denied the right of return under Israeli law. You can understand this further when you look at Israel’s history too, of how, for example, Israel’s military operation Plan Dalet sought to destroy Palestinian villages in 1948 that were "population centers which are difficult to control", all the way to today, when Israel kidnaps and imprisons over 600 children in the span of 8 months alone.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.
