The world record for longest speech was won by Lluís Colet, a 62-year old Catalan man from Perpinyà who spoke for 124 hours straight (5 days and 4 nights). The speech was delivered in the Catalan language and was about the topic of Catalan culture and artists.
“This is a big day for me and I dedicate this record to all those who defend the Catalan language and culture” he said, his voice fainter after five days of nonstop talking.

This is ridiculous, if you’re gonna tell me tumblr needs more pictures of baby owls you should include at least ONE picture of a baby owl in the actual photo set, come on, that’s just reasonable. The first one isn’t even an owl, it’s a doll. And as far as I can tell none of the rest of them are baby owls. They’re just SMALL owls, like burrowing owls, saw-whet owls, screech owls. IDEK if you have any idea how small owl species get but the answer is REAL SMALL.
You know how you can tell an owl is actually a baby? They don’t have an actual full set of feathers like literally every bird above. (Some of those like the saw-whet-looking one with the thankfully photoshopped hat on could be fledglings, but that basically means they’re about ready to leave the nest, so alllmost adults.) Actual baby owls either look like a weird little naked pink thing (like most other baby naked birds) when they’re first hatched, or when they’re a little older they become angry hissing ill-tempered fluffballs that will probably inhabit your nightmares. They’re like if Jim Henson had a super bad day and decided to get his feelings out with fiber arts.
Here’s what baby owls actually look like when they’re still babies:
Baby burrowing owl, good lord
Baby elf owl, genuinely a very smol. Adults are only like 5 INCHES LONG what even are elf owls, seriously.
Baby pygmy owl, such a tiny fierce killer, likes to be hand-fed by human servants
Baby screech owls, so fluff, such talons
Great Grey Owl with her babies, note the difference between adult majesty with penetrating stare and baby floof with penetrating stare still a work in progress, will be more intimidating with less fuzz
Baby barn owls, they will hiss at you like angry cats and when they’re adults they’ll fly around screaming like the souls of the damned
Great horned owl wants you to never talk to her or her fuzzy soccer ball son ever again
I’d like to point out that actual studies have linked trans suicides to constant misgendering as a cause (one of, I should add), whereas affirmation of gender is known to do the opposite. So intentionally misgendering trans people is pretty much legit trying to kill them.
In other news, water is wet.
Where the study/source?
I’m uber busy at work and I don’t have the time to pull up the specific spot it’s discussed. But, look up the work of Dr. Ry Testa. He’s a trans man tackling these issues.
Someone who knows how to navigate resources and has the spoons and time try and find the paper, save trans momma the trouble.
Sounds super legit though. Being misgendered almost always causes some dissociation and social withdrawal form me since it belittles my identity. I don’t get suicidal thoughts but I could sure as hell see how someone who does would be affected by that.
Misgendering a trans person is a violent act. It’s an emotional abuse that cuts deep into who we feel we are at our core. We have enough to deal with internally, adding external voices to that can destroy us.
@TERFs who insist misgendering is just ‘hurt feelings’
“stop blaming (TERFs) for anti-trans violence, we’ve literally never hurt trans women!!!”
Yeah. About that.
Saved for reference.
Also terfs have literally physically assaulted trans women on multiple occassions
I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship.
Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another.
Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.
