Does this look like it has fingers or toes? Hmm? Does it???
None of this is even considering that a fetus at seven weeks doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.
At 8 weeks:
You’re right that the tiny fetus is moving at this point, but plenty of single-cell organisms are capable of moving as well. We don’t throw fits about taking medicine to kill, say bacteria–a single celled organism, some of which have the capability of movement–when we get sick, now do we? But the rest is bullshit:
“Her hands are developing ridges where her fingers will be. However, her ankles, thighs, knees and toes are not yet distinct.”
How can something without proper hands be left or right-handed? Oh right, because this is mindless fear-mongering, outside of the realm of reality:
“Most children have a preference for using one hand or the other by the age of about 18 months, and are definitely right or left-handed by about the age of three.”
Notice how it says children, and not fetuses.
Oh, man, and I forgot to mention, at 8 weeks, it doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.
A FETUS NEVER HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE A PREGNANT PERSON’S BODILY AUTONOMY!
This mindless fear-mongering only hurts pregnant people who seek to have an abortion for whatever reason they’d like, which is, scientifically speaking, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Anyway, ultimately your decision about what to do with your body is literally up to no one but you. And trying to take that right away from people is gross. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

The thing that’s so wonderfully baffling to me is that 90% of the prolife argument is built on just making up blatant lies like most conservative causes at least make an effort to have an argument but the prolife movement really out here just makin up shit
The idea that in 2 weeks time massive amounts of artists and
content creators will be booted from the website, or be forced to relocate is
incredible.
I was and am still looking forward to creating Christmas and holiday pictures
for you all, as are I’m sure many creators and artists. The idea that in the
middle of the holiday season there now needs to be this scramble to move your
work, backup your files, and reestablish yourself on new sites is just baffling.
This should be a time where artists and their followers come together to have a
relaxing and enjoyable holiday, but instead many people will be completely
alienated from their followers and mutuals due to the hassle of migrating to
other sites, and that’s actually heartbreaking to me.
Online friendships and connections mean a lot to people, and the fact that
thousands, maybe millions of such connections, however small, will be severed
in 2 weeks? I can never forgive https://staff.tumblr.com/
for that
Some guy just mansplained space to an actual fucking astronaut.
tfw correcting misinformation is written off as mansplaining
tfw when idiots on tumblr who know jack shit about thermo assume the dude is ‘correcting misinformation’ when actually he’s dead ass wrong. ‘Spontaneous’ is a scientific term – it means a reaction with a negative Gibb’s free energy, i.e. a reaction that will occur without an external energy input, i.e. water boiling because of low atmospheric pressure. Spontaneous is absolutely the correct term for what she’s observing, and that is ‘simple thermo’, and this is ‘correcting misinformation’.
