immediately after an interaction: i have GOT to get more normal oh god i need to get more normal immediately i have to get more normal or they're going to hunt me down they're going to hunt me down and flay me for sport

during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

getting hyperfixated on a specific character is so embarrassing. here’s another picture of The Character on your dash… I know I just reblogged basically the same one but this one is moving

[willgrahamscock]

what they don’t tell you is that this will go on for a decade and every character that you like is just a different version of The Character

"Some twelve thousand muskets were double-loaded, and half of those more than triple. One rifle even had twenty-three balls in the barrel — which is absurd. These soldiers had been thoroughly drilled by their officers. Muskets, they all knew, were designed to discharge one ball at a time. So what were they doing? Only much later did historians figure it out: loading a gun is the perfect excuse not to shoot it. And if it happened to be loaded already, well, you just loaded it again. And again.

Elliott’s Immersive Wedding Mod v.2.0.0 is now up and ready to play!

Explore 3 new wedding day events with Elliott, including a wedding reception hosted at the Stardrop Saloon, as well as 2 intimate events with Elliott at home (PG - PG 13) in between events, and much more!

This new update also features new sprites and portraits based off my other mod, Elliott Scottish Wedding Kilt, as well as edited marriage dialogue with a little Scottish Gaelic affection sprinkled in. 

Your choices in-game will affect your relationship with Elliott, as well as open up different opportunities for new events, revealing vanilla-based character growth for Elliott throughout your time together in Pelican Town. 

More about this mod:

Elliott is an ISFP who is quirky, grandiose, and romantic but is also largely misunderstood by others. In the beginning, his superficial traits tend to rub people the wrong way (melodramatic, vain, and “life-is-a-stage” type attitude) but getting to know and befriend him over the course of the game, we come to see him as a deeply passionate and highly motivated person, who is unapologetically true to himself and his values, despite the odds and adversity. Throughout your friendship, you see Elliott come out of his shell more and engage with the others around him, despite his history of rejection and discouragement. 

Though much of his personal growth can be seen through heart events, dialogue, (and stalking him around town), I wanted to delve deeper into his character and explore how his choice to move to Pelican Town has shaped his personal growth, including his relationship with others in town - and most importantly - his relationship with the farmer, from friendship to marriage.

Enjoy playing! <3 -Elaho

TIL Researchers historically have avoided using female animals in medical studies specifically so they don’t have to account for influences from hormonal cycles. This may explain why women often don’t respond to available medications or treatments in the same way as men do

This isn’t just some point of interest. This is a major gap in medical research that is probably killing women (and trans men, and ovary-having NB people). Its only relatively recently that doctors are even being taught that heart attacks present in a wildly different manner in people with ovaries than they do in people with testes. Women who go to the ER with a heart attack are still often turned away because their clinical signs and symptoms are not the same as those in men.

The hormonal cycle of the reproductive system is huge part of how our bodies work and it has been completely overlooked because it made research more complicated.

I was recently at a talk about this and one of the examples she gave about how dangerous this can be is that after ambien was initially released they had a rash of women who were taking their prescribed dosages and having insane side effects, like taking a pill and going to bed then waking up the next day in prison after they were arrested for sleep driving. The stories were chilling and ambien did some follow up studies, this time including women and then issued an advisory to all women to reduce their prescription by half. This wasn’t a minor difference in how it was processed by the female body, and is something that should definitely have been noted in trials, except that women had intentionally been left out of them.

Recommended reading: Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez. One of the chapters is on exactly this kind of thing. The other chapters explore the many, many, many other places that research isn’t done on women, or isn’t put to use even when it is. It’s good, well-sourced (there are literally 70 pages of end notes that are solely source citations), and infuriating.

Sex Matters by Dr Alison MacGregor is all about the ways in which medicine and medical research ignores women and our biology - and how that means we’re at higher risk of medication induced long QT death, dosages can be all wrong, medication that may have been helpful only to women was never trialed on female cells, let alone in female control groups.

[bluealexa]

This is one of the proofs of systemic misogyny. Because anyone with the slightest attempt to think immediately notices “hormones make the research numbers more complicated” means “hormone differences are likely hugely important for safety reasons”.

But it was accepted fact long enough that it’s industry standard. And now it’s hard to change.

did Kafka actually say "fuck this baka life" in his diaries or was that just a mistranslation please i have to know this

The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don't have to watch any of that. I can just think "that sounds boring or otherwise doesn't interest me in any way" and do something other than watch it

"They're making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet," you might say to me. "They're doing a live action the last airbender again, didn't you love avatar?" I don't find it necessary. This is nothing to me

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:
