Blog Information

You cannot physically @ me because I'm set to private, so if you need something from me dm or send an ask, or @ one of my side blogs. Also I'm dashboard only.

I tend to hyperfocus while scrolling tumblr so I am not exactly able to tag most things but I try my best to do so for obvious things. (e.g. nsfw, food, pedophilia, abuse, nazi mention)

This url is my personal blog as well as my main blog and I primarily use it for mindless stress release and memes. If you want to follow something more concrete I have a:

cat blog - @orionlovescats

stim blog - @orionis-zeta

Art blog - @orionzeta

And one or two other blogs, that while if you already know me from there its fine, but I would prefer it not to be public for whatever reasons.

I block a lot of things, don’t take it personally if you’re blocked, I cater to my own enjoyment.

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

‘Unprecedented’ global effort gives new name to polycystic ovary syndrome – and new hope to millions of women

Decades-long campaign powered by patient perspectives results in switch from PCOS – a name that caused confusion and undue suffering – to PM

a health policy paper has been published saying the name is officially updated to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)

polyendocrine= multiple endocrine factors

metabolic = affecting/affected by metabolism

ovarian = from the ovaries

essentially, instead of using the symptomatic term (many people with PMOS do not develop cysts) the new term widens the diagnostic area and makes it easier to diagnose, treat, and do research on people with PMOS (even atypical types, such as no cysts).

it may seem like a waste of time to change a name instead of focusing on research, but for a lot of medical professionals a name can be associated with a hard set collection of symptoms, so the name needs to change to acknowledge that the disorder is not well understood and has a broader, subtler, and often missed set of symptoms. for example ADD is considered an antiquated/unused term, and now comes under the ADHD umbrella. in healthcare names and terminology changes all the time, and this is a positive change. your local healthcare professional may not know about this unless theyre really up on the news though!

in case you want to read about the name change process that was published in the Lancet (one of the most impactful and well respected medical journals):

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, the new name for polycystic ovary syndrome: a multistep global consensus process

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), previously named polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affects one in eight women. However, the

Idk how many of yall are in the loop but tiktok has convinced thousands of people that if they do particular hip stretches that itll magically heal their childhood trauma and because none of these people stretch regularly and are forcing their bodies to do things theyre not used to in hopes of reaching this unobtainable goal so many of them are pulling muscles and nerves in ways that would make even a public school gym teacher wince

[marxism-transgenderism]

"Trauma is stored in the hips" simplistic pithy sentence meant to describe the accurate phenomenon where people who've endured lots of trauma tend to hold their core muscles much tighter causing tension and pain which has been taken out of context to mean you store the trauma spirits in your hips and they need to be released

"These stretches can help you release" advice that is supposed to mean doing these stretches can help relieve the pain caused by said built up tension but has been transformed by influencers to mean that if you force your body into these specific and highly advanced positions that take weeks if not months of dedicated effort to do right that you'll no longer be traumatized and stop having all the symptoms caused by your upbringing

Once on IMDB I saw a “goof” which was that during a scene set in India(?), the light flicker was at the wrong frequency (in hertz). I wish I knew what movie it was to show you guys, I want to say it was some Marvel shit.

I always wondered how this person knew that. Was there an amazing Indian electrician who just instinctively felt the flicker rate was off? Did they go frame by frame and count the flickers per second?

i hate it when game devs put “fixed several issues” in patch notes 

no. tell me what you fixed. i wanna know what the glitch was.

you know those patch notes that are like “fixed an issue where if the player sat in a bush for too long, they’d become the size of a skyscraper” 

i wanna read those. tell me those.

Adjusted value of Bees. Now that was a special one… because every item in the game had a minimum value, and a beehive was a container for bees, which each had a minimum value… which meant the moment one of your dwarves picked up a beehive, your entire fortress’ net worth skyrocketed… a value used in determining how powerful the foes that visit and try to murder you are.

Reblogging for the explanation of what “adjusted value of bees” actually means, because I know several folks following this blog have been wondering.

Actually I lied it’s the one where after a major update werewolves and vampires started climbing the nearest tree and refusing to come down. It turned out that he’d given evil creatures the ability to sense each other, but forgotten to set a maximum range on it, so werewolves were aware Hell was underground and trying to flee by climbing

people should stop being so apologetic about things they like having sex or boobs or problematic elements. it literally doesn't matter. do you enjoy it as a piece of art? do you like the characters, and what it has to say? do the panty shots actually upset you, or are you pandering to idiots.

Does The Panty Shot Hurt Women Or Is It Just Hot And Some People Think That Sexual Appeal Magically Causes The Degeneration Of Womens Rights On A Societal Level

[sugary--sheep]

I'm not saying a story can't be written from a misogynist perspective but 1) many stories that prominently feature sexuality and women are still invested in women as people, arguably moreso than stories which give them more modesty but less focus and 2) even if it is, i just don't think that's politically relevant. the cart does not drive the horse. misogynistic stories exist because of misogyny in society. you aren't benefitting the latter by engaging with the former.

everyone's talking about the ibs/autism haha funny comparison thing while I'm still stuck on the concept that hamsters exist in the wild. like naturally

tf do you mean they're a wild creature. you find those ankle-biters at the pet store

[psshaw]

Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:

the ashtrays in airplane bathrooms are a fascinating harm reduction metaphor. yes it's illegal as hell to smoke in there. yes there's a smoke detector that will snitch on you the second you light up. so why is there an ashtray? because if there weren't, your single momentary dumbass crime could kill 300 people. it is fucking vital that if someone does have a lit cigarette on a plane, they have a place to safely put it out.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

[charlignon]

Also do NOT append "12ft.io/" before a URL ! Typing an URL like this https://12ft.io/<URL> will redirect to a site that would break the display of the page by removing the paywall !

[cinoclexity]

Honestly it's kind of prohibited to mash CTRL+P before some paywall windows can load in to get a PDF of the article. Really shouldn't be done tbh very dangerous🤷🏿‍♂️ ❌️
