I initially read this the way I assume you meant to type it, then I looked at it again and thought that it might be a pun, but unfortunately I’m now just assuming you’re Italian.
Spiny lobster feeding time! These guys are generally pole-fed since they’re scattered all over their exhibit, but a few have learned that they get fast and easy food delivery by waltzing right to up to the feeder. That being said, it becomes more of a drive-thru window when you’ve got other hangry lobsters behind you!
look, not to be a downer, but… why are we making omegaverse jokes about this.
this article is about how Ron DeSantis is leveraging people’s hatred for trans men to fundraise for his presidential campaign:
DeSantis has leaned heavily into the culture war issues — which have become central to his campaign — such as the repeated emails mocking the idea of men getting pregnant. Some transgender men do become pregnant. DeSantis also sent more emails mentioning “woke” than any other candidate.
I know people love “haha omegaverse” jokes but. I REALLY need people to realize that its a microagression against trans men. Pregnant men can face extreme amounts of transphobia, and are in a highly vulnerable situation, and they are being used as a symbol of wokeness by Florida’s fascist wannabe. And it makes me upset to see other trans people seeming to not take this seriously.
Like. ask yourselves why “pregnant men” immediately conjures jokes and absurdity to you, instead of real people that exist and who Ron DeSantis hates? When you see “pregnant man” and your first thoughts are omegaverse porn and “cis men getting pregnant,” you are also mocking the idea of men getting pregnant. And you do so while erasing trans men from the conversation. You make male pregnancy into an absurdist joke about cis men instead of a reality for trans men.
There doesn’t seem to be a single person in the notes of this post who has mentioned trans men. Its just jokes about heat suppressants. People acted shocked and bewildered by the idea of a pregnant man. On “the trans website.” That fucking hurts.
I cannot feel safe around people for whom “pregnant man” is nothing but an absurdist punchline. It hurts to see other trans people erasing transmascs from the discussion, especially when this article is SPECIFICALLY about how DeSantis is emailing people to say “hey, don’t you think pregnant "men” are delusional and a threat to American society? Me too! Give me money so I can terrorize them via the government!“ This is not the first time I’ve seen people do this with pregnant men (immediately jumping to "haha pregnant cis men!! omegaverse!!” jokes without even mentioning trans men at all. Even though we are men that can and do get pregnant. In real life. And are abused for it) but its the first time I’ve seen it done in response to a very clear act of targeted anti-transmasculinity, and this. Hurts.
I don’t know how y'all think you can combat transphobia if you can’t take seriously the issue of male pregnancy. Because transphobes are clearly very interesting in using pregnant men as a weapon, and I would hope y'all would step up for them. We have to acknowledge that the “haha thats so weird and absurd and gross!!!” response to male pregnancy is transphobic and it hurts trans men a lot.
I know OP apologized for this, so this is not an attack on them specifically. But I need to put my two cents in here as a trans man who recently gave birth.
Being a pregnant man was scary as fuck! I had to deal with so much bullshit, and I was one of the lucky ones because my doctor actually knew her shit when it came to trans people and was able to advocate for me with the hospital and give me advice on dealing with insurance. The advice was to change my gender marker back to F so they’d cover my care without a hassle.
And all of the trans related scary was on top of all of the scary that comes along with having complications during pregnancy. Complications that meant seeing medical people other than my OB and her team. Some of whom were not great. Thankfully, my issue were resolved because I was in labor. But, again, that is because I had a doctor that fought for me. She shouldn’t have had to. But I’m thankful she did. I wish there were more doctors like her in the world to take care of all us scared pregnant trans dudes.

Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.
I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.
Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.
“I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”
“Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”
Mocking language
Jobs are important too
“Be a team player”
“We’re your family too”
Talking as if this is a thing you must do
“We all make sacrifices”
Undermining your authority
“You caused all of this, really”
Accusing you of being “unprofessional”
“Look at the money you cost us”
“Just laugh it off and come back to work”
This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.
it’s really funny that breaking bad is about a man who ruins the lives of everyone around him in an endless pursuit of power that he justifies by saying it’s for the sake of his family even though he repeatedly puts them in danger and personally terrorizes them so that he may continue to build his drug empire in order to fuel his massive ego and feel hypermasculine by using violence as a display of force and authority and they named him White. walter fucking white. they really could not have laid it on any thicker
Not a lot of people know this but interlibrary loans require less attention to detail and more a strong grip and familiarity with knives. Whenever you get a book you are almost certain to get it in a sarcophagus of packing tape and you really do need to get clever with the blade
Hemitite is an iron ore material that is incredibly brittle since it’s iron rock.
It breaks because it is made thin as a ring and any decent pressure on it snaps it.
Not because of negative vibes
In other words:
The guy that made ‘em
I work at a rock shop, we have had these boys forever but due to some tik tok trend last week we have been getting people just comming in and rushing for the bands. Not to mention when they are like “man i hope yours does not break” and I tell them they are fragile and you should be careful with them they get angry with me since the only way the can possibly break is by vibes alone and not jusy throwing your hand down on a table too hard.
