Another picture of a hoopoe taken in Portugal. It is the only picture I was able to take from a hoopoe with the crest feathers raised in the characteristic way.

This isn't my post, but you @fluxphage left these replies on my reblog of it, so I'm going to call it out

Here's the original post:

@fluxphage

You can't be serious. This is a post about a man not giving a shit about a woman the moment she says she doesn't want to fuck him. This post is calling that out, calling out how a ton of men don't give a flying fuck about women or being friends with women as soon as women don't want to have sex with them. There is nothing in that which demonizes trans men and men of color. You are making that up. This post doesn't even mention trans people or men of color. You really read a post that involved a man being shitty to a woman, and other men agreeing with him, and went "uwu this is so mean to men!" And yes, different genders are socialized in different ways! This is basic shit! Saying that men are socialized to be shitty (to women) is the exact opposite of terfism/biological essentialism

And here are excerpts from a piece written by a trans person about why the male loneliness epidemic isn't real:

"There is no widespread outcry about the 'gay loneliness epidemic,' or the 'Black loneliness epidemic' or the 'women’s loneliness epidemic,' even though there is just as much evidence to suggest that loneliness is a problem for those groups. The 'male loneliness' panic only exists because of the unspoken and misleading assumptions that undergird most popular reporting about gender: (1) If you see the word 'man,' you should assume it refers to a straight white man, and (2) straight, white men are entitled to get everything they want out of life, and if they don’t, that constitutes a crisis...

Men are in crisis, these people say, because of feminists, who have made it so that men are now the more oppressed and disadvantaged gender. In order to fight the oppression of men, we need a gender-role reset that puts men back in their rightful place (in charge). If women object, that’s proof that they are bad, selfish people.

Men are victimized by women having civil rights, and women need to give up their civil rights so that men don’t suffer: That’s where this is headed. Women will also need to give up their standards and sexual autonomy, because men’s presumed right of sexual access to women dominates this discussion. Few progressives or leftists will argue out loud, as Ross Douthat once did, that men are turning to the far right because of sexual frustration, and that we ought to ‘redistribute sex’ by forcing sex workers to service them. They will, however, argue that by being forthright or harsh in rejecting men, women are ‘fueling incel shit,’ which is another way of blaming women for men’s worst actions.”

I am sick to death of this site treating basic observations about how men as a class treat women as radical feminism/transphobic. If you see the most basic post talking about men not giving a shit about women if they're not sexually available to them, and go "this is so dangerous and terfy!!!", you just have an innate distrust of women rooted in misogyny

OP is also so right to drag you:

opinion on the cancelled Beverly Hills Chihuahua series?

it was the predecessor of the recent cult classic Bluey but with gender stereotypes, romantization of the high class "realities" and basic plots. and also Tad Stones was the creator.

no fuckin way man roflmao you don't know what you've done by sending this message

i love shitty talking dog movies. i love lost/cancelled animation. i love the first Beverly Hills Chihuahua and i intend on watching the rest as soon as i have more booze in the house. i love jack saint's video essay on how fucked up films like this are when you deconstruct them. and every miserable day of my pointless life i writhe in agony on the floor bc this series never came to be

i swear there's more concept art of this show out there, like hand to god i have memories of more, perhaps by stones himself? (tho that could be the dog-related neurosis talking). anyway i've known about, and wanted more of, this DOA show since 2014 when concept artist Genevieve Tsai shared some of her work on the BHC Pilot:

my opinion is disgustingly, unreasonably positive

and thanks to this anon i now know THE PILOT ITSELF WAS FOUND VERY RECENTLY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE GOT EM. the 10 year old in me is qwacking in his boobs. i am beyond happy

and just to throw it out there bc when the fuck else am i gonna have an excuse to discuss it none of this is even scraping the surface of my love for the OG film's development

Med @fairuzfan’s blog got terminated by tumblr which is obviously unjust for all the people who rely on them for resources on Palestine, but it now leaves Hussam’s helpgazachildren donation drive without a point of communication, and has deleted all previous information Med had shared about the drive.

Please remember to keep donating to helpgazachildren as Hussam’s hard work getting resources to families in Gaza should not have to be hindered while Med is working on getting their blog back 🤍🇵🇸

Ko'ko' bird (Guam Rail) is a critically endangered species in the Mariana Islands. Once considered extinct in the wild, a few are now found on Cocos Island off Guam. Currently the bulk of the population is in captive breeding programs. They are mainly threatened by invasive snakes & feral cats.

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains
