helpful tattoo reminder: they are technically Injuries so u have to eat a lot of calories drink a lot of water and sleep a lot after so your body can Heal The Injury

another helpful tattoo reminder: the 24-48 hours after you get a tattoo your brain can not be trusted in regards to whether or not you should have gotten that tattoo, if you have somehow ruined your life, if it turned out ugly, etc. ignore that

finally, while i am at it: always bring a candy bar and a sugary drink to your appointment for blood-sugar reasons (worst case scenario) or so you can have a treat (unilaterally applicable)

Can I just emphasize that not everyone reading this has yet encountered the information that injuries require food, hydration, and sleep? I think the way many people associate rest and injury is that you rest the injury itself to avoid making it worse, but overlook that the healing process itself requires rest regardless of if not-rest directly injures it further.

Also exercise is a form of controlled injury so that as your body heals it heals stronger. You also need food-hydration-rest for strength and cardiovascular improvements after exercise.

dragon and human hanging out. they both think their species domesticated the other one’s

hemipenal-system

the dragon comes over and sniffs the human for a bit then gently lays her head in the human’s lap to request petting. the human obliges

the human thinks “wow it’s really cool that they got an animal that normally eats humans to be docile enough towards us that i can pet her”

the dragon thinks wow its really cool that they got a skittish prey animal to be brave enough around dragons to offer me grooming behavior

i think that when people call israeli bomb shelters “bunkers” it’s intentionally to conjure up associations of “wealthy privileged people being cowardly and hiding from the consequences of their harming The People” (bc that is what they believe) instead of “civilians taking shelter from war”

starlightomatic

but they’ll call them bomb shelters again when it’s time to spin a different narrative. for example, “the israelis aren’t letting indian migrant workers into bomb shelters, so they’re sleeping in the train station!! they’re all white supremacists/jewish supremacists!!”

when, actually:

- anyone is allowed in any public bomb shelter

- the train stations are bomb shelters

- lots of white jewish israelis were sleeping there too

starlightomatic

it’s part of a concerted effort to paint israeli civilians as the equivalent of american billionaires in the mind of americans

so when they encounter people they really cannot fit into that framework, they have to shift it, to keep israeli civilians as villains

starlight-shadowbanned

yep. and the flip side is when they want to either fantasize about killing israelis or they want their audience to think israel is collapsing and about to fall, and so they say tel aviv was destroyed completely

Don’t overlook paternity leave because it’s a hugely important feminist issue

Celebrating fatherhood with official paternity leave policies challenges traditional gender roles and empowers parents in the workplace. It’s one of those rare issues where men’s rights activists and feminists can find common ground with a mutually beneficial cause. It even has an impact on LGBTQ equality.

I’ve reblogged a lot of posts today about why paid paternity leave (or just in general all parents regardless of gender being entitled to the same amount of paid parental leave) is such an important social issue, and these posts have made a lot of great points about why gender equality in parental leave is such a massively important issue for equality, such as:

- It’s important for LGBT+ parents who don’t fit the cis-hetero mold of one mother and one father.

- It’s an important feminist issue for reducing the second shift: when only one parent gets adequate parental leave, it’s only natural for a pattern to develop that the only parent who got adequate parental leave takes on the lion’s share of childcare. However, if both parents get adequate parental leave, then it’s more likely for a pattern to develop of sharing childcare duties. This is obviously massively important for reducing how much women’s careers are affected by having children.

- If the mother has post-partum health issues (anything from recovering from a C-section or other physical traumas, to post-partum depression and/or anxiety) it’s incredibly unfair to expect her partner to just go back to work immediately instead of allowing her partner to stay home and help with childcare duties. When someone is recovering from having a baby, it can be really important for their partner to stay home to help care for them and the baby.

However, one important point I haven’t seen brought up in why equal paid parental is so important for social equality is how important it is for reducing hiring discrimination.

By that I mean, when a country has *only* guaranteed maternity leave, but either no paternity leave (or really short paternity leave of a few weeks like the U.K. has), this is only going to raise the risk of hiring discrimination against women.

So if a company is choosing between two candidates for a position: one is a young woman and the other is a young man, if the country this company is in has a maternity leave policy of several months or more, but paternity leave is either just a few weeks (or completely non-existent), the company will look at the woman as riskier and less reliable to hire than the man.

So equal paid parental leave leads to more equality in the job market, because it means companies are less likely to see women as riskier and less reliable to hire. If everyone, not just women, has the same length of parental leave, everyone runs the same risk of needing to go on leave for the same amount of time.

There’s no reason not to demand that all parents regardless of gender receive equal paid parental leave. All parents and all children benefit from it.

also important is making taking parental leave mandatory for both sexes. when parental leave is left up to the discretion of individual workers, you see the same sexist patterns emerge: men don’t take it and women do, and so you’re back to where you started with women being “risky” and men being “safe.” making it mandatory for both parents relieves the social pressure for one parent to work while the other cares, and lets both parents spread out the time off longer. better for the kid AND better for both parents. men, it turns out, want to parent, particularly with a baby, but there’s a lot of unspoken pressure to focus on work instead.

Iceland actually has a paid parental leave policy specifically for the purpose of preventing that, because we’ve seen in so many other countries that even when fathers are offered parental leave they often don’t take it, so Iceland set up a parental leave policy that basically forces both parents to take near equal amounts of leave.

Currently, both parents get seven months each of paid parental leave, and there’s an extra two months they can divide between themselves any way they please (both two months go to one parent, each parent gets one extra month each, etc.) however, they are only allowed to receive those extra two months if both parents use their full seven months. If one parent says “I don’t want to take parental leave / I don’t want to use my full seven months” then those two months are gone and can’t be used.

That way fathers can’t skip out on paternity leave without there being a penalty.

They’ve done surveys on the results of this parental leave policy, and children born after this parental leave policy was put into place rate having a better relationship with their dad than children born before it was put into place, and studies have also shown it has diminished the “second shift”. In other news, it’s worked.

This study is being done by Dr. Lisa Littman, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, and J. Michael Bailey. The same people behind the “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” and other Transphobic pseudoscience. Do NOT give information to them via ayagdos, they have a long history of retractions and reported misconduct.

Report this ad wherever you see it. The fact that staff allows this kind of shit yet still turning a blind eye to everything else is just pure hatred.

Burden of Proof:

The project is called AYAGDOS—brought to you by the same names behind “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” pseudoscience.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access

I didn't realise Zucker was on this project

He was the doctor I had to go through to get a referral to an endocrinologist

I think I was 16 for our first appointment? I didn't expect to get on testosterone as a minor, but I was really hoping for hormone blockers.

The obstacle to my care was being studied — solving puzzles like "can you replicate this shape with blocks", stuff that has no bearing on gender, maturity, decision making capacity

Had my last appointment with him just after I turned 18, and he asked me to list 10 fetishes I have.

This is a doctor who specifically sees (saw. He was fired from his position a few years later) minors. Who was an obstacle to me getting that referral. I was on my own in the room, still in highschool.

I offered a few kinks, scrambled to pull together a few more to meet the 10 requested.

He told me I would never be able to find a partner, just pointless shitty comments for trying to answer his leading question he never should have been asking in the first place.
