Blowing dandelion clocks, chasing falling autumn leaves, catching raindrops/snowflakes on my tongue. Cismallow. And posting a bit. Statistically insignificant

Sharks are one of my favourite creatures. They’re incredible. Another fact that blows my mind: their teeth are constantly replaced like a conveyor belt - they go through 1000s in a lifetime.
It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Trans-exclusionary and “gender critical” takes are extremely prevalent in the British media. So I wrote this with the assumption that many readers might not realise that such views are seen as fringe and extreme by the vast majority of feminists outside the UK (and by many within the UK too).
This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

"Gender critical" feminism doesn't help women but it does help the far right

This is an excellent story. We got similar pitches from the same writer at Defector and if they had not been entirely generated by someone plugging prompts into The Fabulism Device they really would've been cool.
A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...
Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

do you think you would be better or worse at surviving outdoors than someone 3000 years ago? For me I think better because I watched a lot of youtube where a guy pretends to live outside

There's a couple of flats near my house (upper floor of a converted petrol station, lower floor now a bridal shop).
The intercom has been jammed for months, meaning that whenever you pass by - day or night - there is a low electric buzzing of static white noise.
Always gets me
