Transfem horror protagonist who realizes she's a woman because she's the Final Girl

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

Enjoyed your Book Riot post “11 Amazing Books About the Wonder of Trees.” You mentioned “there is a lot of fantastic nature writing by authors of color.” Could you recommend some titles or authors? I’ve read a few, but want to read more. Thanks!

Yes of course! Top is of course Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, which blew me away.

But there's a long list of other books I came across in my research that looked amazing and interesting, but didn't fit the more narrow subject of my list. I added these books to my own to-read list!

Is the fur on some bugs (like bees or caterpillars or moths) an example of convergent evolution with mammals or is the fur on those bugs not fur but something else?

I suppose any fibrous body coating like bird feathers, mammalian fur, or arthropod setae used for protection/insulation/sensation etc could be considered convergence on a functional level, but insect “hair” is an entirely different material!

arthropod setae are made of chitin (a polysaccharide), while your hair is made of keratin (a protein). setae can have many different forms, such as stiff bristles, sensory hairs, or the scales on butterflies, moths, and other arthropods. here is a good resource if you’d like to read about the various types of setae and their functions:
