Breonna Taylor’s death should enrage you. It. Should infuriate you to know many Black people have died this way, and it should piss you the fuck off that this case isn’t receiving the attention and national outrage that it should because it wasn’t recorded
sure, this probably isn’t exactly what you meant but here’s a Cursed Sea Fact for you-
five million years ago, the entire Mediterranean Sea dried up in an event called the Messinian Salinity Crisis.
the sea dried up nearly completely over a period of about a thousand years after tectonic activity blocked off the Strait of Gibralter, leaving salt beds thousand of feet thick that can still be found under the Mediterranean Sea today! there were pockets of water left, but they were so salty that they burned.
so basically this disaster killed off every aquatic species in the Sea in a horrific and inescapable thousand-year extinction event, and is why even today the Mediterranean has no native deep-water species that can be found only there.
this period ended when the Strait was abruptly unblocked, resulting in another catastrophe called the Zanclean Flood. this catastrophic flood event refilled the entire Sea in a period of a just couple of years, and in turn totally obliterated whatever land creatures had moved into the empty Sea basin. what goes around comes around, I guess.
also, ‘Messinian Salinity Crisis’ is kind of a meh name for a planet-altering geological catastrophe, but ‘Zanclean Flood’ would be a great name for a folk rock band!
I can’t believe Hercules drowned all those animals
*facepalm* So, given that sex ed in the US is a tire fire:
Vagina-having people have a shorter urethra, which means we’re more prone to UTIs because the bacteria doesn’t have to travel as far to get up into your bladder and cause a problem.
Which means if you’re exposing your bits to bacteria (as with sex), peeing will flush out bacteria in the urethra. (Urine isn’t actually sterile - that’s a myth - but you’re *supposed to* have a little bit of bacteria - that’s how bodies work. But it still flushes things out that shouldn’t be there.)
Oh! You should ALSO pee after you masturbate, especially if it involves penetration with fingers/toys/etc
So I’ve blocked like five transphobes on this post, which I feel should have been relatively uncontroversial.
If you’re one of the people saying “You meant ‘women’”, fuck you. I meant “people who have a vagina, regardless of their gender or lack thereof”, and you can go fuck yourself with a cactus.
And you should pee afterward, so you don’t get a UTI.
