can we talk about the small privilege that gender-conforming and binary trans ppl have when comparing to nonbinary/nonconforming trans people? because honestly… there have been so many occasions where I have thought about wanting to transition fully as the gender opposite to what I was assigned at birth, I convinced myself that it would be easier, but I was always so conflicted because I didn’t want to transition in that way. even my parents, siblings, strangers felt the need to comment; “idc if you’re trans but you can only be male/female trans” “oh, so you don’t use she pronouns? it must automatically be he!”; and my personal favorite: “pick a side.”

in conclusion, to my binary trans kids out there: spread awareness!! be accepting! there are nonbinary trans kids out there too! we are just as trans as you. we are just as valid.

Science.

I can’t tell what my favorite part is, but it’s either

  • scientists wasting budget and time to see if ants count their steps
  • the idea to put ants on stilts
  • there had to be a guy who made ant stilts and put them on the ants
  • confused ants

OR  E. All of the above.

BUT WAIT THERES MORE!

Can mantids wear and see in 3D glasses? YES

THEY PUT LITTLE GLASSES ON MANTIDS

Do honey bees suffer from sleep deprivation? YES

Here is the BEE INSOMNIATOR.

They put MAGNETS ON BEES  and WIGGLED THEM TO KEEP THEM AWAKE

How do scales help snakes move?

Well they put SNAKES IN LITTLE SHIRTS to find out!

SHRIMPS ON A TREADMILL

biology is the greatest

bad and naughty children get put into the bee wiggler to atone for their sins

The best thing about the ant one is that somebody clearly was like “Oh well ants probably count their steps” and that was just like… a thought that came into their head.

THE BEE WIGGLER

This demonstrates that discovery requires madness.

gravity was discovered because Newton just so happened to have an apple fall on his napping ass what do you think science is

Snow

I love this comparison.

Disney animated snow here to be soft and heavy. I think they even developed a whole software just for animating snow! They add a lot more vivid color, like the blues in the shadows and the oranges in the light. Obviously, the way they animate catches the eye easier because of its strong color and bouncy movement. Characteristic and still reminiscent of the classic Disney movies.

Dreamworks made the snow here look powdery, like it had just fallen. Look how it kind of “explodes” and clouds up like dust when it’s hit with such a great impact. It’s less colored by light, but it still looks very real. Dreamworks puts so much love and detail into their animation, making it look so real you feel like you can reach out and touch it.

Both Disney and Dreamworks make movies that are amazing to look at. I could stare at the details forever.

This is the kind of animation and positivity i need on my dash.

…*sighs* such beauty…

I thought this post was gonna be another “Look at how lazy Disney is compared to Dreamworks” post but no there is so much positivity and it makes me so happy
