I find it so funny, in light of TikTokās imminent American demise, that even now they arenāt considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.
Like. People are learning mandarin to join this social media site. Iām not joking. There are tutorials going around to show people who donāt speak Mandarin how to sign up for this app. Theyāre all talking about how theyād rather learn a new language than join instagram reels and it is not a thought in ANYONEāS mind that tumblr is also potentially an option
To be clear im not mad about this. Iād rather see a generation of people learn a new language and engage in cross cultural connections than have a wave of tiktokers flood this app but I still think this whole thing is very funny
no because that is quite literally what is happening on Red Book right now like. All of the Chinese users went āhey why are there suddenly a gazillion Americans on here?ā to which the Americans went ātheyāre banning TikTok and weāre moving out of spiteā and the Chinese were like āoh cool send us pictures of your cats and help us with English homework and weāll send you pictures of our cats and help you learn Mandarinā and as far as I can tell everyone is having a genuinely very nice time together.
Iāve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I donāt know who any of these people are anymore. I donāt know why theyāre on my dash. I allow them to stay because they havenāt pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. āWhy did you follow this person?ā Iām not sure I ever did. Theyāre just part of my ecosystem now.
It hasnāt crossed my tumblr dash but it sure is circulating on twitter with 3.5M views, 10K likes, 17K retweets and counting. Normally this would be great! I love data and charts and comparisons!
Except this data is GARBAGE and belongs in the TRASH.
I first noticed something fishy when I realized that Steve/Bucky ā the 5th largest ship on AO3 by total fic count ā wasnāt on this Top 100 list anywhere. I know Marvelās popularity has fallen in recent years, but not that much. Especially considering some of the other ships that made it on the list. You mean to tell me a femslash HP ship (Mary MacDonald/Lily Potter) in which one half of the pairing was so minor I had to look up her name because she was only mentioned once in a single flashback scene beat fandom juggernaut Stucky? I call bullshit.
Now obviously jumping to conclusions based on gut instinct alone is horrible practice... but it is a good place to start. So letās look at the actual numbers and discover why this entire dataset sits on a throne of lies.
Here are the results of filtering the Steve/Bucky tag for all works created between Jan 1, 2023 and Dec 31, 2023:
Not only would that place Steve/Bucky at #23 on this list, if the other counts are correct (hint: they're not), itās also well above the 1520-new-work cutoff of the #100 spot. So how the fuck is it not on the list? Letās check out the authorās FAQ to see if thereās some important factor weāre missing.
The first thing youāll probably notice in the FAQ is that the data is being scraped from publicly available works. That means anything privated and only accessible to logged-in users isnāt counted. This is Sin #1. Already the data is inaccurate because weāre not actually counting all of the published fics, but the bots needed to do data collection on this scale can't easily scrape privated fics so I kinda get it. Weāll roll with this for now and see if it at least makes the numbers make more sense:
Nope. Logging out only reduced the total by a couple hundred. Even if one were to choose the most restrictive possible definition of "new works" and filter out all crossovers and incomplete fics, Steve/Bucky would still have a yearly total of 2,305. Yet the list claims their total is somewhere below 1,500? What the fuck is going on here?
Letās look at another ship for comparison. This time one thatās very recent and popular enough to make it on the list so we have an actual reference value for comparison: Nick/Charlie (Heartstopper). According to the list, this ship sits at #34 this year with a total of 2630 new works. But whatās AO3 say?
Off by a hundred or so but the values are much closer at least!
If we dig further into the FAQ though we discover Sin #2 (and the most egregious): the counting method. The yearly fic counts are NOT determined by filtering for a certain time period, theyāre determined by simply taking a snapshot of the total number of fics in a ship tag at the end of the year and subtracting the previous end-of-year total. For example, if you check a ship tag on Jan 1, 2023 and it has 10,000 fics and check it again on Jan 1, 2024 and it now has 12,000 fics, the difference (2,000) would be the number of "new works" on this chart.
At first glance this subtraction method might seem like a perfectly valid way to count fics, and itās certainly the easiest way, but it can and did have major consequences to the point of making the entire dataset functionally meaningless. Why? If any older works are deleted or privated, every single one of those will be subtracted from the current year fic count. And to make the problem even worse, beginning at the end of last year there was a big scare about AI scraping fics from AO3, which caused hundreds, if not thousands, of users to lock down their fics or delete them.
The magnitude of this fuck up may not be immediately obvious so letās look at an example to see how this works in practice.
Say we have two ships. Ship A is more than a decade old with a large fanbase. Ship B is only a couple years old but gaining traction. On Jan 1, 2023, Ship A had a catalog of 50,000 fics and ship B had 5,000. Both ships have 3,000 new works published in 2023. However, 4% of the older works in each fandom were either privated or deleted during that same time (this percentage is was just chosen to make the math easy but itās close to reality).
Ship A: 50,000 x 4% = 2,000 removed works
Ship B: 5,000 x 4% = 200 removed works
Ship A: 3,000 - 2,000 = 1,000 "new" works
Ship B: 3,000 - 200 = 2,800 "new" works
This gives Ship A a net gain of 1,000 and Ship B a net gain of 2,800 despite both fandoms producing the exact same number of new works that year. And neither one of these reported counts are the actual new works count (3,000). THIS explains the drastic difference in ranking between a ship like Steve/Bucky and Nick/Charlie.
How is this a useful measure of anything? You can't draw any conclusions about the current size and popularity of a fandom based on this data.
With this system, not only is the reported "new works" count incorrect, the older, larger fandom will always be punished and itās count disproportionately reduced simply for the sin of being an older, larger fandom. This example doesnāt even take into account that people are going to be way more likely to delete an old fic they're no longer proud of in a fandom they no longer care about than a fic that was just written, so the deletion percentage for the older fandom should theoretically be even larger in comparison.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the author of this "study" KNEW the data was tainted and chose to present it as meaningful anyway. You will only find this if you click through to the FAQ and read about the authorās methodology, something 99.99% of people will NOT do (and even those who do may not understand the true significance of this problem):
The author may try to argue their post states that the tags "which had the greatest gain in total public fanworksā are shown on the chart, which makes it not a lie, but a error on the viewerās part in not interpreting their data correctly. This is bullshit. Their chart CLEARLY titles the fic count column āNew Worksā which it explicitly is NOT, by their own admission! It should be titled āNet Gain in Worksā or something similar.
Even if it were correctly titled though, the general public would not understand the difference, would interpret the numbers as new works anyway (because net gain is functionally meaningless as we've just discovered), and would base conclusions on their incorrect assumptions. Thereās no getting around that⦠other than doing the counts correctly in the first place. This would be a much larger task but I strongly believe you shouldnāt take on a project like this if you canāt do it right.
To sum up, just because someone put a lot of work into gathering data and making a nice color-coded chart, doesnāt mean the data is GOOD or VALUABLE.
Has centreoftheselights learned the error of their ways and tried to actually collect their data properly this year so as to not misrepresent the popularity of every fandom on AO3? Nope! They're doing everything exactly the same, and as expected, the counts are WAY off (Castiel/Dean didn't even make it on the list this year despite having 6000 new works in 2024, which should've put it in the Top 10).
Do NOT trust this data.
Fortunately, Randomist1031 has done the hard work for us and compiled a 2024 dataset that includes privated fics AND gathers the counts correctly. They've even gone the extra mile and added separate public vs locked counts, percent locked calculations, and common ship names. I can't vouch for the accuracy of every data point but the handful I checked were very close (another benefit of using the "created by" filter method is that it's fairly replicable, unlike certain people's methodology).
Please share this list and use it for fandom analysis instead.
If your tummy itches when you wear jeans, you have a nickel allergy and should paint the back of the buttion with nail polish. Okay I am going into the woods forever now. I love you.
Sensitivity to nickel is extremely common amd despite this, clothing manufacturers often use it because it is cheap. A coat or two of nail polish is an effective barrier between the allergen and your skin. Goodbye forever. Do not forget my wisdom
Since my two mares got ESPA diagnosed in 2023 I feel like everyone I know has ESPA dxād or suspected in Icelandic horses. So all Iām gonna say here is that if you have weird mystery sensitivity, the horse is kind of reactive & weird some days & fine others & youāre ruling out a lot of common causes of pain & canāt really find muscular or chiropractic causes & the horse isnāt lame on one leg or neuro but something is just weird about the horseā¦..
Ultrasound those suspensories, bestie!
We just did Vigri this Fall & found that he has early signs of degeneration of his suspensories, too, but at 16 & sound this is ānormalā progression of the disease (as opposed to the serious degradation of the tissues we noted in Sylgja at age 5, & her mom at 13 - I still think SkvĆsa probably would have progressed more slowly had I not bred her, which Iād never have done if Iād known she had the disease). Since he isnāt a mare, wonāt be bred, & the current best practice for treatment is consistent, appropriate exercise, Iām responding to this DX by slowing down his workload, riding him myself less, ponying him more, having my child (who is very light) be his primary rider when ridden, & keeping up with the shoe package thatās been keeping him sound & comfy with his rotational deformities up to this point. Vigri is more comfortable / happy when in an exercise program so this makes sense for him at this level of progression, but we will be monitoring closely & re-checking. This comes w perfect radiographs (zero arthritic changes to hocks, fetlocks, etc) - we literally only USād bc when I pulled him barefoot last winter I THOUGHT I noticed his fetlocks dropping slightly more than usual, & I wanted to see if I were crazy or not š¤”
But where Iām at w this now is I think it is FAR more common in the breed than previously reported & warrants serious examination certainly for anyone who wants to breed these horses. The prevalence in Standardbreds, pasos (disease was first discovered in pasos) etc has a lot of vets curious if thereās a connection between the DMRT3 mutation & this connective tissue disease. Worth noting as well that Vigri is of no relation to my other horses, & is actually not even from the same breeding farm. Looking back, I wish I could US GlƦta⦠I have a lot of questions about past ācomplicatedā horses I worked with that could be answered by this disease.
Itās super worth paying attention to because of the connective tissue involved w internal organ suspension. A friend just attended a dissection of an (suspected) ESPA horse in which the liver was found to be detatched. I know quite a few Icelandic horses that were āfineā until they suddenly died of some weird medical event involving digestion. Was it colic or something elseā¦..?
We know this disease can affect the cardiovascular system, vision, etc. Iām certainly curious if Vigriās intermittent difficulty pulsing down - even when his resp returned to normal right away - could be related to subclinical presentation of this disease. Iām even curious if his rotational deformities at birth might have been the earliest sign! Iām quite sure it explains his unusually sensitive skin, which rubs & chafes so easily. All of which is to say, this disease goes beyond workload / performance expectations, itās not just a (potential) soundness problem. Itās potentially something that can negatively impact organ function.
Another interesting thing Iāve learned more recently is that research is suggesting that the bodies of these horses lay down layers of fat in unusual / unexpected places to compensate / protect the lack of healthy connective tissue. On dissection thatās apparently really interesting to see, sometimes the horses donāt even palpate or look especially fat until you get into the layers of the body. My ESPA mares did have an unusual amount of body fat & it actually complicated the muscle biopsies we did to rule out PSSM2ā¦.
Anyway this is sort of a disorganized dump of random ESPA thoughts but I havenāt had the energy or time to make more coherent thoughts for Instagram / FB & I know Tumblr doesnāt care.
Bottom line is if youāve got gaited horses & theyāre having āmysteryā health or behavioral issues, you might want to consider a connective tissue disorder as a possible contributing factor! & certainly if you notice hypermobility or unusual flexion of the joints.
@mylittlehony gonna reply to you here so I can type more haha (everyone read replies on this if you wanna know what we are on about)
Okay so yes! There is a TON we donāt know or understand about exactly how gaitedness works & itās probably lazy to use the DMRT3 mutation as a shorthand for describing gaitedness because it probably is more complicated than just that mutation & Iām sure the more we look into that the more we will find. Rn itās just the gene test we have for it. So, noticing prevalence of connective tissue disease in breeds that also have that gene mutation, thatās interesting - correlation isnāt causation, but could there be some connection between gaitedness & connective tissue disorder? That may be a better way to phrase the question.
ESPA is believed at this stage to be hereditary. But thatās really all we know so far, and really even that is a guess until we know more. Every vet I talk to about this is like, āmy kingdom for a gene test!ā
Iām continuing to talk about it even without KNOWING answers because for a long time the message has been, Icelandic horses are a hardy, healthy breed.
We kind of just keep parroting this but in reality, the past 10 years especially have shown us quite a few health issues the breed is prone to, or at least not immune to.
My GUESS is thatās because enough time has passed for the breed to get a real foothold in countries outside of iceland that have different expectations of horses than iceland has. In iceland, horses tend to have long breaks from training each year on pasture, which means that theyāre ridden less, cumulatively over a lifetime, than we expect to ride our horses on average in the US for example. Rides in iceland also tend to be short - yes, even on treks, riders historically bring spare horses & switch frequently. I have ridden Vigri in TWO 100 mile competitive rides - most folks in iceland are simply not putting that kind of mileage on a single horse. We also expect to ride our horses for as much of their natural lives as possible, & while of course some people ride horses into their old age in iceland, many horses go out to pasture or retire for breeding or have their careers scaled back significantly at younger ages than I think most Americans would like. We just have different expectations here, and we also tend to do a lot more diagnostic tests and therapies to keep horses going where in iceland they might just retire the horse. Iām not saying one is better over the other, just that the sets of expectations are different, & now that we are enough generations into the breed existing outside of iceland, I think more has come to light than would have been discovered in iceland alone.
When weāre honest & open about these problems - like we were with genetic spavin - the breed community is incredible at collecting data & making improvements. Genetic spavin was a big issue for a while, now not so much because breeders started screening & soft culling (not breeding those horses).
ESPA is WAY harder to deal with even in concept because we donāt have a way to screen for it in asymptomatic horses - itās progressive & that progression is inconsistent. You can have individuals fully crippled or incompatible with life as youngsters, like Sirius & Sylgja, or you can have horses living natural lifespans & dying of unrelated causes in old age, never diagnosed (that would almost certainly have been Vigri - I doubt heād have been diagnosed at all if I hadnāt had the other cases and gotten obsessive about this lol).
So one of the arguments Iāve heard from breeders is that, if it doesnāt affect them into old age, why does it matter. Which I donāt think is a GREAT attitude, but I do wonder how pervasive this disease is. If itās found to be very pervasive in populations across breeds or specific to certain breeds, maybe some degree of it IS normal - how could we know if we are only able to test the most symptomatic horses? Thatās sort of what weāve come around to with ECVM, right - that there has always been this range of whatās ānormalā & we assumed it to be a problem because only symptomatic horses were getting diagnosed - we had no idea how many asymptomatic ECVM horses existed until recently.
And then there is of course also the reality that all horses will eventually break down and die of SOMETHING. We canāt prevent that, no matter how perfect we make our husbandry & breeding.
So the question then becomes, what range of mobility is normal, when does it become hypermobile, where is the line between aspirational & dysfunctional, & who decides that. And those are all questions I SUPER donāt feel qualified to answer. But I do know that in the gaited horse world, certainly in the Icelandic horse world, we all tend to toe the line when it comes to hypermobility. We select for huge gaits, extreme leg action, & a lot of the training for sport intentionally destabilizes the horse to increase the snap-&-fling action that everyone seems to love.
What Iāve been saying for a while is, weāve got to stabilize these horses. The training has got to refocus towards stabilization & away from exaggeration. I think thatās likely been whatās saved Vigri so far, is that heās had a lifetime of stabilization work with me - even when I used to show him in sport, I spent all my time in between shows stabilizing him so that he could cope with those performances a few times a year, because I knew the toll they took. When THATāS the gait standard, & we are judging the horses for breeding at age 3-5 usually, & then breeding them to this standard, I think thereās a LOT of room for a progressive disease like ESPA to be passed on before itās detected or symptomatic. It happened to me with SkvĆsa & I know for a fact itās happened to others.
If people know to test this breed when they start to have āweirdā problems like I did with my mares, I think we will start to get a better picture of what this looks like. We can diagnose ESPA with ultrasound, at least after a certain amount of disease progression, & if more people knew that, & knew all the weird ways it can manifest, they might choose to test. Right now, most people donāt know itās a possibility. Thereās too much misinformation about the disease itself, but also about hypermobility in horses - and a great deal of THAT misinformation is held in place by denial / willful ignorance to protect current gait standards. If we acknowledge that we may be breeding horses that are successfully meeting our standard BECAUSE their connective tissue is diseased, that calls quite a few things into question that a lot of folks would prefer not to examine. In all sports, human and equine, itās hard to go backwards from an extreme, isnāt it? Thatās a tough sell. I donāt think that many people who are winning under the current standard like the idea of horses moving more conservatively in the future.
I think thatāll make it hard for ESPA research to get the funding or attention it deserves, is what Iām getting at, but weāll see what happens. In the meantime, I feel like the best we can do is just keep talking about it & ultrasound horses that we have questions about.
Thank you for such a thorough response! Yes, correlation isn't causation, but it certainly makes one think when there is a noticeable co-occurrence of two conditions.
Re ESPA/DSLD, there's potential for it to be diagnosed by skin biopsy (apologies again if you have already read these articles, but I'll add them just in case):
Haythorn et al.. 2020. 'Differential gene expression in skin RNA of horses affected with degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis'. J Orthop Surg Res 15:460. doi:Ā 10.1186/s13018-020-01994-y
Roberts et al. 2023. 'Expression of genes with biomarker potential identified in skin from DSLD-affected horses increases with age'. PLoS One 18(7):e0287740. doi:Ā 10.1371/journal.pone.0287740
Both of them are open access.
If a skin biopsy turns out to be a viable diagnosis, it should be pretty helpful when paired with the ultrasound, though the cynic in me wonders if there'll be a flurry of tests by breeders early on when we finally do get a test, only for people to slow down in their testing. The number of Arabian horse people I am aware of who are using untested stallions with a known CA carrier parent, but who aren't even aware of the existence of cerebellar abiotrophy has shocked me.
The Arabian has a similar reputation to the Icelandic re soundness, health and hardiness, but off the top of my head the breed as a whole carries SCID, OAAM, and Lavender Foal Syndrome in addition to CA and ESPA; I am not certain if juvenile idiopathic epilepsy is restricted to specific bloodlines or not. Sweeping these conditions under the rug does not help the horses.
The differences in expectations and riding practices between Iceland and the U.S. is interesting, particularly with respect to ridden longevity. I think this ties in to some extent with the question of to what degree certain issues are "normal" - I do believe that horses in general live longer than they did in the past (though I have no statistics, only hearsay and anecdotes, to go off), and we can maintain horses in high level sport for longer than before. Thinking of, e.g., the well-documented Pryor mustangs, most stallions die in their late teens or early twenties, and only a handful of mares make it to their upper twenties; the fact that some of the mares have made it to twenty-seven or so is largely, I believe, thanks to the PZP contraceptive program sparing them the strain of pregnancy and nursing a foal. So slow progressing ESPA wouldn't even be eliminated in free roaming horse herds, as it would only begin to noticeably affect them after their prime reproductive years.
I suppose humans selecting for show-stopping gaits, whether that be in Icelandics or Warmbloods, may have led to an increase in more rapidly progressing DSLD in those breeds where that sparkle is desired. I am now wondering about Welsh ponies and Hackneys, as I have seen clips of the desired action in harness, which is very big and bold. I would like to think that we can walk back from the abyss of hypermobility, but considering that Arabian show lines are now virtually a separate breed and their heads have become even more extreme in just the last ten years, despite constant criticism ... Dog breed associations have made some efforts to moderate traits exaggerated to the point of dysfunction, but horse breed associations are most of them dismally conservative.
The problems caused by my own hypermobility have decreased in frequency since starting strengthening work, and, blessedly, I am no longer in constant low-level pain. It has been really interesting to see how tiny postural changes have had a big impact. With my hyperextensions, I was using the wrong muscles even when standing, to the point that to have actually straight legs, my knees had to feel bent. That change has altered how my muscles take the load, and, well, funny how the body feels much better when the structures better suited for something are the ones doing most of the work. It's also noticeable how my flexibility has improved in certain areas as a result of the strength work - previously, a subluxating rib restricted my ability to rotate through my torso, but now that it is supported by muscles working more correctly, I can rotate further than before. I presume that it isn't hugely different for hypermobile horses: better posture and carriage leads to a helpful strengthening of muscles, while untreated hypermobility leads to muscular compensation that can limit movement in the long run, despite the short term wow factor. I have held off on a lot of mobilisation exercises with Shakira because she is disconcertingly flexible compared to Abba, and I would rather do stabilisation exercises with her to build strength, particularly in her hind end.
And yes, we need to keep talking about ESPA and hypermobility. It isn't fair to the horses to be bred for short-term flash at the cost of their long-term soundness. I wonder how possible it is to walk the fine line between getting people to acknowledge these things are both bad for the horses but, given our current state of knowledge, not an indication of moral failing on the part of owners or breeders. I think sometimes it is too easy to alienate people whose help would be invaluable, simply because they feel attacked for having an animal with x condition. Lots of food for thought here, I shall be chewing on this for a while.

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands
Most of my job is marking essays and I will tell you this:
1. Most of the time it's painfully obvious when you're using AI because it spits out the most generic takes possible, and it often attributes statements to people who did not make those statements.
2. An AI paper fills me with a vitriolic rage the likes of no other. It makes me viscerally angry that you're wasting my time and yours this way. School is expensive. There are so many people who would love to be here, who would love to actually be learning but they cant afford to. Have some respect and actually use the education you're privileged enough to be able to pay for.
3. An AI paper will get you reported to the academic integrity office, because it's plagiarism. This is not an opinion of mine its a school policy. An academic integrity violation will follow you for the rest of your academic career (if you're even able to get anyone to give you a second chance) and beyond. Its not worth it.
4. A half assed, insane, incoherent paper that I know you wrote the night before? Relatable. Endearing. Ive been there, I can see you trying. You'll get the best mark I can reasonably give you- it might not be a great mark but it won't be as low as a chatgpt mark. You won't get an academic integrity violation on your record and you might actually learn something.
