NEW PINNED POST!!

hey, hi, hello! I go by Keda/Bonzi/Gl1tch what may have you! Welcome to my Schoolhouse! Main blog!

i feel it's fair now more than ever to specify this blog is 18+ or to put it better minors do not interact!!!

i go by any and all (neo)pronouns! they/them is always a safe bet though

fair warning i don't tag gore most times, i love animatronics and art, and i may post about things about i enjoy and ramble about sometimes, i majority reblog, and i don't care to engage in disc°◡rse

i will look through your blog if you follow me so i will block you if you seem weird or if you use generative ai

i am an artist/selfshipper/kinnie - my art is not up for it to be run through ai generative means!! permissions with anything to do with that are denied!

OTHER BLOGS!!!

ART BLOG｡⁠.ﾟ⁠+⁠ ⁠⟵⁠(⁠｡⁠╹⁠ω⁠╹⁠) SELFSHIP BLOG ｡⁠.ﾟ⁠+⁠ ⁠⟵⁠(⁠｡⁠╹⁠ω⁠╹⁠)

GENERAL DNI - once again do not be weird, i will block you (now feeling like i have to specify no proship/darkship, whatever may have you)

EDIT: '#Donations Box' will be a tag that you may feel free to block, it's so you can choose to support those who need help, i understand not everyone has money

My main tags are down below!

MAY YOU NEVER LOSE YOUR HYPERFIXATION

since i need to get back into the groove of drawing, take a big pile of redraws :) starting with lots of ragathas as a thanks for the recent love on my design for her!! she brings me great joy, so i'm glad to know others enjoy her too <3

and some other characters for variety... fun poses with pomni and jax, and a caine because i really need to draw him more

this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.

userfish

hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.

do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles

gayagendaofficial

actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs

gaysie

Actually there is evidence that covid probably would affect the VNO and it stands to reason would accordingly impair its function. Briefly:

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid, can only infect cells expressing a certain protein called ACE2

ACE2 is expressed widely in nasal cavity epithelial cells but not in olfactory sensory neurons.

Seo et al. (2021) studied potential nasal targets for SARS-CoV-2 using golden hamsters as a model organism (commonly used as a proxy for humans in virology studies)

They found ACE2 expression in the main olfactory bulb epithelium (MOE, your “normal” nose organ) as well as the vomeronasal organ (VNO)

Several cell types in the VNO were able to be infected and they also found significant inflammatory activity (macrophage activation, apoptotic cells, etc)

The specifics of how covid actually causes dysosmia are not known for sure but epithelial damage by local inflammatory immune responses likely plays a role, especially because sensory neurons themselves are not affected (Bilinska, & Butowt, 2020). Therefore I would suggest a potential similar effect of VNO dysfunction as we see in the main olfactory bulb

From Seo et al.: “Considering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamsters”

If it stands to reason that omegaverse individuals have functioning VNOs similar to members of the animal kingdom, then it is more than reasonable to conclude that covid may cause them to lose not only their main olfactory function, but also their VNO function as well

In conclusion the omegaverse economy IS in shambles.

OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

fleshengine

At minimum about 4.5 thousand people liked this without reblogging it.

We gotta fix that.

Progress.

Onwards!

I can't access the full paper, but their conclusion is right there in the abstract:

While transgender women exhibited higher lean mass than cisgender women, their physical fitness was comparable. Current evidence is mostly low certainty and has heterogenous quality but does not support theories of inherent athletic advantages for transgender women over cisgender.
