An Experiment Named Zyre
My name is Zyre, I like to write fiction, and read fiction, mostly under fantasy. I'm a part of many fandoms. And I can't help but be a little political, even though it wears me out.
i-was-promised-a-fluffy-chicken:
Last one for today, i promise.
OMG ARE THOSE FEM!DOCTORS?
theyre perfect and every single way
i love how eleven’s face is exactly the same.
i love ten’s hair
I love that their faces are the same because a lot of gender AUs change features to make them more traditionally attractive but MY DOCTORS
“I could call myself Mr. Clever”
A Queer One From The Start: Denmark
superwhoavengehobbitpotterlock:
You are allowed to drink when you’re 16.
You are allowed in clubs when you’re 18.
You receive free education.
You receive economic support while studying.
You enjoy free hospitalization.
You’ll be correctly informed by objective news channels.
- you are forced to endure the danish language
Also:
- Denmark has yet to outlaw racial profiling.
- Racial minorities in Denmark have a greater chance of being arrested without being convicted of a crime.
- Denmark refuses to acknowledge the existence of a Roma minority in Denmark, and refuses to offer them any legal protection against discrimination.
- POC in Denmark are much more likely to be victims of hate crimes, compared to ethnic Danes.
- In order to marry an ethnic Dane as a foreign national, you have to be at least 24 years old, never have received any social benefits, show proof of financial independence and pay a deposit of ~£5200.
- Hostels for homeless people are forbidden by law to accept foreign born guests who cannot show proof of permanent residency in the country.

Where is it that your piece is set that there just aren’t any POC there? I mean, I’m sure there are places like that. Wherever it is that…

Google Search Equates “Gayest” With “Worst”
The use of “gay” as a pejorative is nothing new, but it’s still somewhat surprising when a search for the “gayest trends” on Google yields the “worst trends.” And it’s not simply a matter of websites conflating “gayest” and “worst” on the pages Google brings up: the word “worst” is bolded on Google, highlighting it as a match for the word “gayest.”
This phenomenon has been recognized in the past, but with little response. A current Change.org petition has, at press time, 18 signatures. There have also been a couple complaints made on Google’s product forums, one in 2012 and one in 2011.
A Google spokesperson issue[d] the following response—
Google’s results, including when a search term is synonymized with another, are a reflection of content on the web and how people search. These results are determined by algorithms and we don’t manually correct this process, but we are always looking at how we can improve our algorithms.
Not cool.

God we fuck up teenagers’ heads. We tell them that biological conditions are moral punishments and then we get all shocked when they don’t practice rational risk management of biological conditions. We teach them “sex is super desirable and all the cool kids do it, and it’s hideously shameful and will destroy your life” and we wonder why they act an eensy bit neurotic about it. If you tried to design a system for making sexually active kids confused and unsafe, you couldn’t do much better than the American media and school system.
And for once, the answer is relatively simple. Just talk about sex like it’s a part of life. Some people have sex and some people don’t, because people are different. STIs aren’t bad because they’re Dirty Crotch Rot; they’re bad because they’re contagious illnesses like strep throat or whooping cough, and you can ask a doctor to check for and treat them just like you would with strep throat. Unwanted pregnancy isn’t a scarlet A; it’s a mostly-preventable accident that sometimes occurs when people are going about their normal business of having sex. You can ask the school counselor about a variety of topics, including career planning, problems at home, questions about sex, or conflicts with teachers.
If we could just get the goddamn stick out of our collective ass and accept that sex is a human activity and teenagers are humans, maybe there wouldn’t be quite so many plaintive “I don’t understand my body and I’m confused and scared and I don’t know anyone I can ask in person” messages flying out into the world.
Gay men will soon be able to donate blood in Canada for the first time since 1977.
Canadian Blood Services announced today that gay men will be able to donate blood starting this summer, as long as they have not had sex with other men in five years, and meet all other requirements. This is a change from previous policy which had a lifetime ban for donation by any men who had had sex with other men.
For those wondering, the ban was first set in place because technology had not quite allowed for proper screening of blood for HIV.
What the hell Canadian Blood Services??? You can be gay but just not have sex. Well. Okay then. :| Progress is moving a millimetre at a time, I guess.
Because now we’ve absolutely determined that straight people don’t get HIV!
The. Fuck.

So, in the middle of everything today, we ran across a hellaciously distressed momma mallard and a bunch of her baby ducks that had fallen down a sewer grate. Another guy was already trying to fish them out, so my friend and I called animal control before we tried to fish the rest of them out. When Animal Control got there, we had all of them out and the mother duck quacking very happily. I was surprised - none of us got snapped at or hurt. I was even holding onto a bag at one point that had all of them in it and she just watched me.
I love how the duck is perched on the guy’s butt
I’M SO HAPPY
AH GOSH this has made me so happy
what wonderful peopleIt’s like she understood they were helping ;;
