She poses so well for the camera.

A white and tabby cat sits on a blue bedspread with her head slightly tilted as she gazes into the camera. She has a blue plaid bandanna.

Post from Foz Meadows:

human gender and sexuality are very much like animal taxonomy, in that both look structured and simple on the surface, but once you start investigating, it turns out there's actually no such thing as a fish despite the fact that we all know what a fish is, and that's okay

Reply from FutureEvilScientist:

As a biologist, that is a fantastic comparison.

We talk about "fish" (which, cladistically, do not exist, there is no monophyletic group of "fish" that simultaneously includes all organisms we understand to be "fish"-like while also excluding, say, humans) because, despite the utter fiction that is fish, it's still a useful label when we talk about certain features that "fish" tend to have in common.

Gender is absolutely the same way.

A picture of white egg next to the cover of Guitar Concerto in C Flat Major, Op. 12: Lucina. It is a beige/off-white cover with the book's title in gray-blue text. At the top is the text "A novella in three movements" and at the bottom is the author's name, S. Morgan Burbank. Below is the text "cracking onto bookshelves December 12".

Halloween’s grave is not yet cold and the neighbors have lit up no less than six Christmas trees in their yard. How dare you twinkle while we grieve. The callous, tinseled, disrespect. I’d egg them were it not for the economy.

When cats are confused by or upset about something, they just smack the shit out of whatever it is that's frustrating them and I think that's beautiful.
