@nonayadambidnes @LiberalLibrarian Men who cling to status and are afraid of losing it are letting fear motivate them. "Alpha men" are only advertising how afraid they are.

@ps9714 Can't see past the paywall to read enough to tell. How much of the contradictions are probably brain worm related, and does the article make it look like we should all learn from his well thought out brain worm thoughts?

@Agatha Neither have I, but in my Twitter days I did see jerks choosing to take it as a slur so they had a reason to be angry at the people they were picking on. They didn't seem to be listening to anyone who told them it's just the actual scientific description.

@Agatha I simply do not care about my gender, and it shows. I don't shave, wear men's deodorant, my long hair is in a bun with a bandana most of the time, haven't worn make up in years, but still prefer "she". I'm nearly asexual, and am more attracted to emotional bond than appearance (demisexual), it's all mostly a choice with me. Therefore I choose "cishet" and claim it openly to show I know it's not a slur and hopefully influence acceptance. Joe realizes how I am and accepts me.

When I started working on this, I watched "David Attenborough's First Life", which has a great discussion of trilobite eyes and how to tell something about it's behavior from them. It helped me make connections. When I started drawing this, I thought the horns were to protect from predators above, then I realized the design would be better if they were straight up for what I was envisioning, these are bent for ramming, to turn and fight back. Now I feel all sciency.

@Alfred @kel Alfred, he's thinking he would like to know what an AI response would be to a question abut telepathy.

Day three of "But what if trilobites had colors like my fancy pillbugs?" Have changed page layout three times. No graphite lines on a single trilobite yet. Am glad I am not a professional with deadlines.

@evamarie @CinnamonGirlE @LiberalLibrarian To put it further in context, if you are in a stressful relationship and it causes you to miscarry and the dad decides you tried to induce that miscarriage to get out of the relationship or get back at him, you can be subject to the death penalty.
