during an idle chat with some coworkers this morning we were talking about long-lived animals and somebody mentioned the late tortoise anecdotally rumored to have met charles darwin and then i said yeah like that 200 year old greenland shark! and then just thinking about the greenland shark my eyes flooded with tears lmao. made it through the conversation acting VERY normal ("ha ha yeah, parrots live forever!") and then instantly looked up the greenland shark only to discover she was in fact probably about 400. 400 fucking years old. i am going to go insane
i don't have a lot of travel dreams or ambitions because i have spent at least a decade literally just trying to get through the day, but if i try to come up with a bucket list the main thing on it would be seeing the real old trees. like the Ancient of Vouves or Jōmonsugi.
can you believe such beings are with us on this planet! mindblowing. jenny slate i had to unfollow nasa on instagram because it made me too craaaazyyyy dot meme but it's me forcing myself to stop thinking about trees because i'm at work

Hey, remember when they were called fanvids and the song used was very clearly stated upfront because that was like some of the whole point when the tone and lyrics of the song were often very specific to that subject and not just like a musical tiktok meme and they didn’t use a lot of dialogue/sound from the scenes because it was more like we’re imitating those music videos they used to do for film soundtracks and they were a lot longer than 15 seconds, sometimes the entire song? The people who made those are going to heaven for their service.
i am once again thinking about season 2 episode 11 of xena: warrior princess, "here she comes... miss amphipolis," during which a trans woman enters a beauty pageant and wins. on tv. in 1997.
granted, she does sort of win by default after the other women drop out for one reason or other, but i think there's something valuable to draw even from that part of the narrative: out of all the women in the pageant, this trans woman is the only one who actually wants to be there. all the other women have been forced into it by men in power.
she wins the crown because she's the one who wants it the most.
and i think it's saying something about how a lot of trans women find freedom and joy in performing femininity where other women might feel trapped by it. like i hated skirts for so long because they were forced on me as a kid but have you ever seen a trans girl flare out the skirt of her sundress for the first time? that kind of energy.
i'm not saying it's perfect trans rep. i mean the character's going by the name "miss artiphys" in the pageant, which is questionable if you don't assume she chose it for the pun (artifice) herself. but still, her character is treated with respect by the show's lead (xena) and she's never outed or misgendered as far as i can remember (it has been a couple years since i watched it last). she's also played by actual trans actress karen dior!!! so overall, i think it holds up remarkably well.
Shockingly good for 1997
