A screenshot of a Bluesky post by Foz Meadows from 15 November 2021 stating "human gender and sexuality are very much like animal taxonomy, in that both look structured and simple on the surface, but once you start investigating, it turns out there's actually no such thing as a fish despite the fact that we all know what a fish is, and that's okay" There is a response by futureevilscientist stating: "As a biologist, that is a fantastic comparison. We talk about «Fish" (which, cladistically, do not exist, there is no monophyletic group of "fish" that simultaneously includes all organisms we understand to be "fish"-like while also excluding, say, humans) because, despite the utter fiction that is fish, it's still a useful label when we talk about certain features that «fish" tend to have in common. Gender is absolutely the same way."

As this post seems to be gaining traction, I feel that I should post this to ensure that @fozmeadows.bsky.social gets full credit for their original post in 2021 (which I couldn't find to share). I was right up to the character limit in my previous post and I don't think it was clear enough.

Me and my LSAT instructor could be besties if we were just allowed to queen out

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Lady gaga in the abracadabra music video; holding a microphone wearing red including a large boompy sun hat. In the original vid shes saying “the category is; dance or die”

The category is… soup… or bowl.

In at least some form of good news my evil cat finally napped in my lap today

Oh you're a prompt engineer huh? That's pretty impressive but I have a doctorate in ordering Taco Bell off DoorDash

one of the best parts of having grown apart from someone is seeing where they silently unfriended you. was discord really necessary when we haven't ever spoken there??

Praying gets you nowhere.

realizing through DND that the Model UN kid in me is still alive and kicking because I just sat there and worked through an international politics problem with the DM for an HOUR

Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

ChatGPT is down? Huh. Crazy how that doesn't affect my life in literally any way at all

Playing song association alone in my house so that if I ever get famous I'll have my answers locked and loaded

super glad that, no matter how new the social media platform, there will always be diet culture/ED posts thrust onto me against my will

I love board games. My favorite is when people put meat and cheese on a board. Maybe some crackers and fruit. I'm really good at that one.

and it's not even close

SilentEvils are just when the game has one giant building-puzzle and you find stuff to unlock other stuff for 60+ hours

it's just one of those days (should i go to grad school?)

Whenever a meteorologist calls for a “wintry mix,” I get hungry imagining what kinds of little snacks might go into a bowl of “wintry mix”

I'm spending the rest of the day writing a fanfic about Vine and TikTok boinking each other in every single way.

Getting back into the swing of tw*tterposting on this platform is wild. Like lemme just channel the worst version of myself rq brb
