Hey! I'm a medical student.
I am a thinker. That's all I am. Eagerly waiting to become a doer and make others doers too. I genuinely believe that while you can agree with the ideas of a group, you should have the right to maintain individuality. But when we start labelling people, or ourselves, we end up losing individuality. Hopefully people won't label me as anything.
Here's the link to my masterlist !!
You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?
“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?
“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?
“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?
“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.
You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.
“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”
Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.
I really like how organised your blog is!
Would u be interested in doing an MBTI breakdown? Not really astro oriented, but I think you will be able to explain it well….
Have a nice day 🫶🫶🫶
Thank you, my dear! I treasure your words. 🥰🤍
I loved your suggestion and I think I'd like to do something on this topic in June. The MBTI is fascinating. Many of us only scratch the surface, looking at which of the 16 possibilities best fits us. However, it's primarily based on cognitive functions.
I would love to find a way to combine MBTI and astrology. So I'll focus on researching cognitive functions as much as I can to find associations with different placements. Many of these, of course, will be through deduction.
Thank you for trusting me to talk about this subject. 🫶
Queer theory is so funny to me as African because I'll see all these people in the western countries trying to assign meanings to clothes and to pronouns and to parts of their personalities, they'll believe that changing their clothes or their pronouns or their language or their behavior will exempt them from misogyny. And while I understand that it is a condition of the System to keep us all separated, I can't help but bristle at the racism behind this all.
If any of these liberals had bothered to read, they would know that there exists many many communities indigenous to Africa whose languages don't have gendered pronouns, where clothing rules are different. Where men and women dressed the same, where the rules of nudity are different. Where men are effeminate. And in most, if not all of these communities, misogyny will still be rampant.
My community used to allow female to female marriages but all those women were still circumcised. My language does not have "she" or "he" but that did not save any of us from misogyny. My friend's community doesn't even have gendered slurs and she still had to run away when she was 11 so that she wouldn't be circumcised. There is no solution other than uprooting the whole system. Creating more categories does nothing.
Btw the reason why it’s not even noticeable to put a little girl in little boy’s clothing but feels disturbing and pedophilic to put little boys in high heels and making them shave their body hair and wear tight tops it’s because it is. It’s pedophilic to put little boys in attires we consider “sexy” and it’s pedophilic to do that to little girls too. We often forget, but beauty standards for women are so strict because they are meant to emphasize that our value lies in our looks, and thus our sexual value to men. So applying those standards to little girls isn’t cute or proper, it’s disturbing. We’re so numb to patriarchy we do these things without thinking what they mean
What is it with diabetes that makes people think they know more about it than the people who have the disorder. People hear the word diabetes and flock to compete with who can be the most ableist.
Found a video of a girl showing off Diet Soda detector strips (if there's any diabaddies that see this and want it I can link them, they're super helpful), and half of the comments were "you're diabetic you should just be drinking water..." First of all, not only are you just wrong, but you seriously expect diabetics to just never enjoy themselves? Ever?.
Saw another comment under a video about type 1 saying "you did this to yourselves. you ate too much sugar and you got yourself into this situation." And it's just so funny because they're Wrong™️. Type one diabetes is autoimmune and fully hereditary, and not at all effected by diet.
I mean, I know the answer. It's diet culture. People on their fancy diets think they're a superior human being because other people are "unhealthier" than them, and they hear diabetes and think "big fat and lazy with a bad diet" and think they're allowed to walk all over them since they're so superior. Despite the fact that it's a completely false stereotype that doesn't apply to most diabetics.
And btw please do not come under this post saying "but other disorders have that too" this is a vent post about diabetes. Do not derail.
The other thing about diabetes type 2 is that what the evidence actually suggests is that there's an underlying metabolic disorder that causes weight gain and sugar craving before actual diabetes develops.
A lot of type 2's start out as hypoglycemic -- their pancreas is over-producing insulin, causing blood sugar crashes. Insulin stuffs sugar into fat cells, causing people to get fat, if there's too much of it. The overproduction of insulin is a response to slow-growing insulin resistance. Because sugar is a vital part of human energy, people who cannot easily process sugar due to insulin resistance and insulin over-response may crave sugar in order to have enough energy to function.
So you didn't get diabetes because you got fat. You got fat because you were on track to get diabetes. and nobody is addressing the metabolic disorder. Hypoglycemics can be quite skinny -- I was for years. But if you're skinny, nobody is concerned about the fact that you are passing out when you haven't had enough to eat. Because only being fat is ever a medical problem. People who are "normal" weight obviously have nothing wrong with their metabolism whatsoever. :-(
To add somewhat to the above, type 2 is genetic. You can’t get it solely from diet alone. As a specialist nurse crudely but not entirely incorrectly once said to me “if it was just diet then every fat/unhealthy person would have diabetes”.
And now going back to the top point, I know exactly what video op is referring to and she made a different video a few weeks prior specifically about harmful comments to t1d’s and instead of getting the point, heaps of comments were basically to the effect of “but we can bully t2ds bc they brought this on themselves, they deserve to be mocked”. HUH. DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES.
I have many chronic conditions. T1D is absolutely the worst by the landslide it’s not even close. I would not wish this on anyone. If you ever think you’d like to make a comment on someone else’s diabetes, of any type, do not do it. If you are a diabetic I trust you to be sensible, otherwise, keep your mouth shut.
"They're just doing it for attention."
So, why would that be any less concerning, exactly?
If they are harming themself for attention, the intention doesn't matter, because it's still an act of self harm.
If they are faking symptoms for attention*, that's either a result of a behavioral/personality disorder or factitious disorder, which are still mental health disorders that require care.
(*Which, bare in mind, you CANNOT know if someone is faking unless they actively tell someone that they are - atypical variations of conditions exist, misdiagnosis exists, and somatoform disorders which mimic the symptoms of other conditions exist.)
I need people to start taking mental disorders that cause attention-seeking behaviors seriously.
this is ableism.
as a kid i used to self harm and I would tell ppl online sometimes and so many times i was accused of doing it for attention, EVEN BY PEOPLE WHO SAW THE SCARS/CUTS. and like. i was so young and i didn't have the vocabulary to describe how fucking wild that idea is but im in my 20s now and i do so: yeah if somebody is literally physically harming themselves on purpose FOR LITERALLY ANY REASON AT ALL, THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG HAPPENING TO THAT PERSON AND THEY NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY. attention seeking behavior is normal to an extent. this is not normal attention seeking behavior. if you believe somebody is physically self harming for attention, i need you to understand that thats not them self harming for no reason, it is a sign that something VERY BAD is going on and that they need immediate help
i really need healthy, able-bodied people to understand that there are many illnesses that cannot be cured and which, in many cases, don't even have effective treatments
and that constantly putting the onus on the people who have to live with these illnesses to simply "get better" is an incredibly shitty thing to do
and that it's not "toxic" for chronically ill and disabled people to feel down, and occasionally talk about how down they feel, in a world which continually disregards their suffering and makes their lives much more difficult than they need to be, sometimes deliberately
and that telling these people that they continue to be ill only because they haven't tried a certain exercise, supplement, therapy or diet will only further damage their health by causing them stress
and that doctors are not only not infallible magic-workers, but are very often actively prejudiced against their patients; especially female patients and patients who belong to marginalised and minority groups
please just understand this and accept that the chronically-ill and disabled people you speak to know more about their health and their limitations and what works or doesn't work for them than you ever could
thank you

Excavations in Pompeii, 1870

@anthropologist-on-the-loose get peer-reviewed because your shared experience with the subject of the painting really heightened the emotional impact of this artwork for me ( An impact which was already high tbh. The idea that Pompeii was built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations. What if I just started screaming and never stopped. )
"Built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations" is ruining me, thanks
But it was buried by generations! Yes, it was buried in a volcanic eruption, but it was also figuratively buried. Over the centuries the location of Pompeii was lost, and it was found again by accident during construction projects. The ruins were not conclusively identified as the city of Pompeii until the 18th century (more than a millennia and a half after the eruption!) and it has been excavated ever since. People have been digging there since before the formation of the United States.
It's truly an incredible, one-of-a-kind site.
sabrina carpenter is so anti woman. ‘protect the dolls’ and its adult men invading women’s spaces
since the women didn’t fawn enough over her male pandering album, she’s unequivocally committed to supporting women-hating men
honestly this picture is such a good representation of what the patriarchy is like, you couldn’t make this shit up. hypermasculine men in position of authority and power (literal cops lmao), hypersexualized women on their knees before them, and all the gnc (presumably gay) men being shoved outside the "male" category by acting like hypersexualized/pornified caricatures of womanhood
Reminder of what Jones means when he insinuates that the anti-trans have incredible power and that they are supposedly attacking a """"besieged minority"""" by saying the truth, in essence.
Literally just acknowledging the truth and not conflating the performance of femininity with women as a sex and placing the right amount of scrutiny on selfish men doing whatever the hell they want, regardless of the consequences of their choices draws disproportionate hatred.
This dude is such a loser holy shit. (I also included the other guy’s comment because it shows that women like his wife have to deal with so much shit in their jobs and many women don’t want to even bother because of it.)
My mom is one of the top people in her white collar job, works long hours, and gets paid more than 90% of the men there. I love knowing that women like her make men like him seethe with rage lol
Edit: Also, as someone in a female-dominated career (teaching), we aren’t respected or taken seriously in these jobs either!! Like what is this dude smoking? Teaching and nursing are just two examples of this. I’m in one of the few good states that pays extremely well for both of these jobs but in the majority of the US women in these fields are underpaid and not respected at all. Teachers in Mississippi make nearly $100,000 less than teachers in my NY district. We can’t win, whether we’re in male-dominated or female-dominated fields.
Exhibit 3322
Also the fact the helix forces the sperm into the egg.
We just recently had research come out proving that actually the egg selects the sperm, and now BOOM we have a "forced sperm injection machine" mighty convenient how that happened.
Men were fine with "survival of the fittest" when they thought it was just the fastest/"fittest" sperm to make it to the egg. But now that it's actually the egg deciding which is fittest, now they got this shit.
This is going to result in a lot of dead women if this is ever implemented. There's a reason eggs reject certain sperm and not others. There's a reason the uterus is so hostile.
