I want to give a shoutout to all Asian lesbians, especially the ones who had to grow up not knowing it was possible to like girls, since the mere mention of homosexuality was or still is taboo in our cultures.
I want to give a shoutout to Asian lesbians who are butch or gender non-conforming. Asian women, especially East and Southeast Asians, are portrayed in media as being feminine and submissive, making those of us who do not conform to these stereotypes feel alienated from the porcelain dolls society wants us to be.
I want to give a shoutout to Asian lesbians who still live in Asia. I am fortunate enough to live in a country where I can legally marry a woman I love, and where there are laws in place protecting me from homophobia. Taiwan is going to be the first country in Asia allowing for same sex marriage this year, but that monumental ruling that is going to pave the way for LGBTQ+ rights in Asia was almost thwarted by a referendum in November 2018, when the majority of Taiwan’s voters decided that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Fortunately, the Taiwanese government is still going to follow through with allowing same sex marriage before March of 2019, but the majority of countries in Asia still do not have protections in place for us. In some countries, merely expressing our love for other women could lead to our arrests or even deaths.
Asian lesbians do not deserve to be shunned by our families, and god forbid be arrested or killed. We deserve representation, we deserve to be accepted, and we deserve rights.
If you’re an out lesbian living in Asia, I want you to know that I am in awe of your bravery.
Thylacoleo, for the uninitiated, was Australia’s equivalent of the sabre-tooth cat. It was the size of a leopard, murdered rhino-sized marsupials with sharp teeth and huge claws, and looked like this:
Its closest living relative is this:
Yes, the most vicious mammalian carnivore Australia has ever produced is most closely related to a herbivorous furry cube.
What the fuck.
It’s obvious when you check out Thylacoleo’s teeth. Most mammalian carnivores have a similar setup: incisors, canines, premolars and molars. Dogs have it, cats have it, we have it. Thylacoleo’s teeth look like this:
You’ve got pincer-like incisors in the front, giant sharp-edged molars in the back, and no canines to speak of.
That last bit’s the important part. Canines are most useful for holding meat, so herbivores tend to shrink them down to nothing. Thylacoleo’s lack of proper canines show its ancestors were originally herbivores. But because you can’t just re-evolve features once they’re gone, it had to make do with what it had. Hence those ridiculous fucking teeth, which were nevertheless perfect for grabbing and chopping meat just like every other carnivore’s teeth do.
tl;dr: at some point in time a bunch of vegans decided to weaponise their limitations to kill everything and by god did they do it
Mackenzie Bezos becoming the 5th richest person alive by doing nothing but playing the long game and somehow managing to swerve that Prenup with IRL Lex Luther is super dope, but what I care about most is what she ends up doing with that money.
Stealing from and dethroning the rich is cool as shit but ultimately means absolutely nothing to me if she doesn’t meaningfully redistribute that flow back into society. Which she probably won’t.
Mackenzie Bezos could build around 600,000 housing units for the homeless and low income families, and STILL have just under 7 Billion in walking around money.
The guy On the right is MY UNCLE WHAT IN THE FUCK HAHAHAHAH
