By Trula EarthgardenPosted on July 17, 2025Posted in Feminism, ScienceTagged feminism, reality, sociology, women's issues

I love this quote by Jane Goodall: “It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” This scientist was a renowned British primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and UN Messenger of Peace. She wasn’t wrong at all though, you can be called a difficult woman even if […]

Pretty interesting article on perimenopause from Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2024/11/12/perimenopause-moment/ It is absolutely a horrible time. The whole entirety of a woman’s life is GRUELING, the only time we have free of our biology is childhood pre-periods. After menstruation begins it’s a wrap. And to add insult to injury we now live in a time where […]

This shows just how much my husband occupies space in my mind lol: I was deeply interested in this story at the time I first heard of the development of this computer (late ‘95) but then Brian and I fell in love (early ‘96) and I completely forgot about it. I was working on a […]

The Origin of Sexual Reproduction

By Trula EarthgardenPosted on April 10, 2021Posted in 2020s, Biology, ScienceTagged biology, female, male, reality, reproduction

Very important read in today’s times with people attempting to say biological sex does not exist and/or that people are not a sexually dimorphic species: Origins of Two Sexes “Because male and female are fundamentally defined by the gametes they produce, understanding the origins of the two sexes means understanding why gametes come in two […]
