I’ve never been 7+ months pregnant (not a sad thing in my case, no worries), but I can 100% imagine that it feels like being the willendorf Venus. I love the idea of some woman however long ago half annoyed and half teasing making it and giving it to the father, saying “this is what I am now,” though.

I don’t see it assuming scientists are all men. Women are just as capable of internalized misogyny and just as capable of being dense as men.

With the willendorf Venus, it wasn’t until a woman who had already had children worked with it, that they suspected it might be a pregnancy self portrait. There had been women already there, but none who knew what a pregnant person looks like from that perspective.

Ten year old me got a beautiful white backpack and made the username [email protected] (numbers also changed), not realizing until over a decade later, that I seemed like a drug dealer.

My biggest concern with someone who doesn’t get a stage of living alone/with roommates you’re not dating is their ability to cook/clean well. If I were you, I’d make sure I was capable of doing all the jobs and taking over at least enough to pull my own weight, though if your parents don’t want financial compensation, extra chores would be nice

I wonder if Mt. Rushmore would be obvious if you’ve never seen a primate. If a super alien species is investigating, I can imagine them not realizing that it was designed by sapient life.

Well damn, I was just asking.

(Just a username joke)

That’s true. It sounds like a children's book character who’s a woodland creature detective

I like your username. Do you mind sharing where it comes from?

My muscles are soft in comparison to granite and hard in comparison to a pillow. How can they be both hard and soft at the same time?

Do they only transfer when you leave the site?
