about

delaney, 22, s/he+sie/hir

white, transmisogyny-exempt, usamerican spoonie

this is my animanga+comics blog but i'm also interested in literature, baseball, kinesiology (rehab, sport history, sport sociology), history, and sociology.

french speaker 💔 a2/b1 ish?

bluesky for when this site shuts down. discord is groundruledouble. hibernaculum on letterboxd. mutuals can ask for my instagram.

things to know:

i have problems disorder where my wording gets jumbled/unclear or i miss words - either way i put my foot in my mouth. i don’t mean anything by it, but apologize in advance.

minors must blacklist ‘nsf minors’

i tag triggers as "[trigger]" and media you want to be tagged as "[abbreviation] for ts"

i'll meet you where you are if we're disagreeing, but please be civil. i'll disengage temporarily so we can both relax if i think we're reaching a certain point, but if you're attacking me, i'm gone and blocking you.

NOT spoiler free for media that is ongoing (wha, nightwing v4, etc.) but they are appropriately tagged with [media abbreviation] spoilers

free palestine, free puerto rico, free hawai'i, free congo, etc.

if you're interested in my writing i write for the saw franchise, mobile suit gundam 00, gilmore girls, the school for good and evil, death note, dungeon meshi, DC, and fullmetal alchemist. 100 words for every dollar donated to a fundraiser i've boosted here or on side

i need the pitt to brush up on how healthcare workers legally conduct themselves. i cannot explain to my mom or my grandma that a) santos was wrong to intimidate the potentially abusive dad in season 1, b) that she was right to call social work in both seasons, and c) that robby should not be cussing out ice agents

"try temp work!" "apply to everything!" "apply as soon as possible to certain positions!" "tailor your resume to the job!" HOW FUCKING DUMB DO YOU THINK I AM? NONE OF THIS FIXES THAT THERE'S NOT A GODDAMNED THING OUT THERE FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE IN THIS FUCK ASS DYING FUCKING TOWN

[ptolemaiios]

that class action suit against cerave has to be one of the stupidest god damned things i've ever seen

[ptolemaiios]

"ouah my benzoyl peroxide product has a lot of benzene in it!" YES because benzene and benzoyl peroxide are part of the same family. oh no my water has hydrogen in it

"ouah benzene degrades into benzoyl peroxide even at normal skin temperature" that was in INCUBATION. vastly different than keeping it in the fucking tube or pump bottle and rubbing it into your face for thirty seconds. don't piss me off

[ptolemaiios]

i wouldn't be so mad if i didn't know the lab who posted these bunk results and shady science had done this before. same people who were posting bullshit about benzene in spray sunscreens. like no shit dog it shows up in trace amounts. unlikely to do anything to you. this is like panicking over eating an apple because the seeds have cyanide.

& also in the wake of maha bullshit + the way trump and biden handled the covid pandemic this shit gets under my skin

levels of mutualship :

the closest thing to real soulmates you can find

we fought in the same trenches and have a warrior's bond that carries over into every stage of life

friend i sit next to in every class and pass notes to/whisper to constantly

academic peer/colleague that i respect and have a little intellectual crush on

neighbour in the same apartment block that i say hi to on the stairs

neighbour across the street who i wave at every morning and evening

we're regulars at the same bar

i can't even remember who you are but if you weren't here there would be something fundamental missing

[canid-sys]

what is cis women's fascination with pretending that their menstrual cycle is debilitating when they don't have medical conditions related to their menstrual cycle. cycle syncing is not real and there's no evidence to support it. release yourself from repackaged "women are weak" rhetoric

[ptolemaiios]

i literally have a minor in sport sociology and dug into this shit because the pretty pink pilates princess who doesn't do high intensity cardio because it "spikes her cortisol" and doesn't lift heavy weights because she "doesn't want to get bulky" and eats like a bird is so pervasive in women's fitness spaces

this shit has so many repercussions on public health. this woman above ^ is genuinely increasing her risk for osteoporosis and low energy availability. and most women / people assigned female at birth don't meet minimum fitness guidelines (150 min/week of cardio + 2 days/week of weightlifting) in the first place!!! saying "do xyz rather than abc during whatever point of ur cycle" prescriptively is bunk!
