Pedophilia Is Bad Should Not Be A Radical Statement.

Overblot Malleus Draconia Battle Lines

Originally on Malleus Draconia Battle Lines, updated with new lines. OB Malleus in his Dragon Form had a few different lines from his regular OB lines. Some of them are similar (or even the same) line, but Dragon Malleus is a lot more emotive. These will be marked accordingly. At this moment while I am compiling this post, Malleus's card has been announced, but not released so this post does not have "When Selected" lines, nor Magic 3. (I'll update once I come back from break if his card drops during that time)

internet censorship bill about to pass congress:

ao3 is facing a ddos attack from an overseas right-wing anonymous group because it contains "degeneracy and disgusting things like LGBT and NSFW".

they're not the only right-wing group that is attacking fanfiction sites because of queer & nsfw content. the Heritage foundation, the US right wing think tank that writes laws for republicans, wrote an article about how "big tech turns kids trans" in which they're advocating for the Kid's Online Safety Act to pass because it will give state attorney generals power to sue websites for "potentially harmful content towards minors". in this article they point out websites like wattpad, tumblr, tiktok, twitter as sites that GOP attorney generals can and will target for censorship if this bill passes. all places where fandom, that's mostly queer, hangs out.

if you think this bill has no chance of passing because of all the red flags it poses, think again. it currently has 38 cosponsors in the senate, and is being pushed by the democrats as a "protecting the children!!" type bill.

there are left-aligned orgs in congress rn lobbying for this bill to pass. july is extremely decisive, because if KOSA goes through to markup it'll be bundled with the Earn It act, Restrict, and all the other bad internet bills and passed as a package, completely censoring the internet forever.

if you want to learn more about the bill, go here. also sign the open letter against it here

it's ESSENTIAL that you call your members of congress, specifically Maria Cantwell (you can call from out of state) and tell them DO NOT PASS KOSA. this site here connects you to your members of congress and gives you a short simple script to read off of! super easy and doesn't take much out of your day! please do this now!!

Fight for the Future

Bad Internet Bills

All of the bad internet bills. One website.

thinking of being pregnant to miguel o'hara's child and he doesn't know. your heart broke when you found out not because you're pregnant, no. but because it's miguel's child and he is stuck on his previous daughter that you know he won't ever move on. that he won't love your child as much as he did with gabriella. he is so lost in the past you know he cannot see the present.

but hesitations and doubts to tell miguel about your pregnancy are thrown out the window when you witnessed him chasing miles morales with such ferocity and anger in his eyes. it scared you. it terrified you.

you decided then that he will never know about your child, even if you had to tell nobody, not even your friends. you saw a man willing to harm a 15 year old, a kid. you dare not imagine what he is willing to do to yours.

so you did what you thought was the best to do. you quit silently and disappeared from the rest of the earth— or rather, from the rest of the multiverse.

Agreed

I need to know what the good news is

Black cats are lucky. (via leahweissmuller)

Green Shell Semi-Slug: the researchers who discovered this species originally wanted to name it "Ibycus felis," because it often rests with its tail curled around its body, which reminded them of a sleeping cat

The Latin name of this species is Ibycus rachelae, but it's also known as a green-shelled or long-tailed semi-slug. The species was first described in 2008, and it is found only in the montane forests of Sabah (Borneo) and Peninsular Malaysia.

The term "semi-slug" refers to an intermediate stage of evolution as a snail evolves into a slug. These snails still have shells that are at least partially visible, but they have been reduced to the point where the shell can no longer accommodate the snail's whole body. There are many different species of semi-slug, but most of them have a noticeably reduced, receding, and/or transparent shell that is partially concealed beneath the mantle.

This article describes another peculiar characteristic of semi-slugs (including Ibycus rachelae):

... semi-slugs don’t just look weird, they act weird, too. They employ sharp projectiles called love darts in their courtship rituals, by shooting several of them at a prospective mate. The mate, in turn, shoots several love darts right back.

Researchers have found that if semi-slugs are able to lodge love darts into one another, the subsequent copulation tends to be much more successful. It’s thought that the mucus distributed by the love dart ensures greater survivability of the sperm

This is what the "love darts" look like (when magnified under SEM):

The tiny, harpoon-like structures are made of calcium carbonate, and they transmit certain hormones (via mucus) that help to increase the likelihood of reproductive success. Semi-slugs are not the only gastropods that use "love darts," however; they are also used by some other land snails and slugs.
