silín. any prns. 27. lab animal professional. show cat enthusiast. SF/F writer. nonbinary crisis actor. evil houstonian. yes that's my cat in the header.
@gabseunagal everyone knows that it's parents who are the most selfless and loving towards children, and that you must be some kind of biblical demon if you don't personally want any! anyway what's the name of that man who shot his wife and 6 children to death last week?
@goatmelon1@ewennodds maternal instinct is not inherent to any animal. I've worked with animals for my entire career and I can tell you that many, many female animals will find any excuse to abandon or cannibalize offspring. both domestic and wild animals. there are as many shitty mothers as good ones
@goatmelon1@ewennodds those same animals will cannibalize their offspring the moment anything goes wrong so... what then? as a matter of fact there is a genetic component to being a shitty mother. that's how we've ended up with dairy cattle that forget about their calf the moment it leaves their sight
@zoloftpurgatory thinking a female OBGYN won't do this to you is so childishly naive. female OBGYNs are capable of extreme levels of misogyny. as a matter of fact I have exclusively faced medical misogyny from female OBGYNs. it was a male OBGYN who did my sterilization surgery.
@queerparx serious reaction to anesthesic agents is very rare, but it still happens. this is why your vet always strongly recommends pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure the animal is healthy. too many people skip it. IMO it's not worth the potential risk to skip.
@howmanyfood this was a poly person who was already in an active poly relationship BTW. they thought this wasn't something they needed to disclose to anyone prior to the event. total waste of time for me. it's much easier to meet people by just talking to friendly strangers organically.
@howmanyfood yeah lol it was a WLW one. absolute nightmare. houston WLW are a bunch of ghouls. i actually ended up trying a different type of speed dating game with them around 6 months later, and they tried pairing me with a POLY person who did not match any of my preferences😶🌫️
@NANAMITHEWORLD working for a small business involves all of the negatives of corporate work AND denies you any of the perks (benefits, PTO, decent pay, etc). small business owners are frequently insanely abusive (mine withheld my final paycheck) because there's no one keeping them in check.
@ALifeAfterTech@BexWords@ChairForce1@AnAngelADay what a silly thing to say, everyone knows that the corona radiata has a layer of hyaluronan that must be digested by hyaluronidase, the enzyme that the SPERM releases. the oocyte does nothing until the hyaluronan has been digested. only then does fertilization occur.
