people are like yay it’s a beautiful spring day and the birds are singing it’s time to get out all of my loudest tools such as chainsaws and weedeaters and leaf blowers and power washers
When I say “self care day” I do not mean I’m getting my lashes, nails and eyebrows done. I’m literally laying in bed eating snacks and binge watching a show.
Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Women’s Day 💐
