Adequately okay in a nothing kind of way

In which sche reblogs whatever the fuck. Occasionally there are real life posts. Once in a blue moon there is fic. Obsessed with my d&d character and his husband.

adult men who are disabled deserve compassion and understanding and support and not just endless verbal abuse from sheltered privileged assholes who think they are punching up let’s be so for real

We need weight loss ads now more than ever. Trump has reinvigorated the Fat Liberation group. The obesity epidemic is at its highest point ever. We need weight loss ads now more than ever.

Lol was this you

Seriously bruh, if you wanna make a case about nutritional defecits and the declining vitamin and mineral content in agricultural produce, the overall failure of public school physical education to provide any productive and meaningful instruction on personal health and correct methods of exercise, the ever-increasing cost of healthy foods, and the frankly shameful rate of child hunger and food waste all collectively contributing to poorer health in persons of ALL body types, I'm happy to play ball, but if the beginning and end of your platform is "there are more fat people than there used to be and being fat is bad so promoting eating disorders and drug abuse is good actually" then you are straight up wasting everyone's time

"Uhhh but everyone was skinny in 1920 look at this "fat lady" who was in a freak show at the circus lol and look how average she would be now" do you have any idea how many vitamins and other supplements we have had to insert into the food and water supply to combat widespread malnutrition in the last several decades

You realize how many people had teeth rotting out of their heads before we put fluoride in drinking water

Jesus fucking christ, google "B12 defecit"

The population was skinnier because we were constantly on the precipice of dying from shit like low zinc, you absolute dingbat

People being 'fatter' than we used to be is a GOOD thing, combating genuine weight-related health issues with a constant barrage of image-critical ads and the promotion of eating disorders in scientifically proven to be harmful and ineffective bullshit, and the fact that thinness as a beauty standard has been pushed to such extremes as intentionally infecting oneself with viruses and parasites amd chemically and surgically-enforced starvation over the past several hundred years only proves that this is not a natural default but a heavily-reinforced and artificial standard

[plaguedocboi]

Hey also just from a biologic perspective “humans are naturally skinny” is incorrect. “There weren’t fat people in the past” is an absurd idea cultivated by modern beauty standards that focus on returning us to a “natural” but completely false ideal. If you want proof, there are groups of people alive right now who live the same way that our ancestors did. There are hunter-gather tribes in the Amazon, Africa, Australia, New Guinea, and probably lots of other places around the world, and if you look up pictures of them, they are not skinny toned supermodels. They look like regular people and encompass the same array of body types you’d see at a local supermarket.

Humans having variable metabolisms within the same population is not just normal, it’s fucking awesome. It’s one of the things that made us so adaptable and able to spread across the world. It is quite literally integral to our success as a species. If a drought hits in your small hunter-gatherer community and kills off all your prey, you know who’s going to survive? The people who metabolize fat slower and thus can survive longer without food. That’s why humans are fat sometimes. It’s insurance against uncertain futures.

(And, in fact, people who have immediate ancestors who went through periods of starvation are more like to hold onto fat. If you starve yourself to be skinny, your grandchildren are more likely to be overweight. Diet culture is directly linked to more people being fat. So. There. Source:)

Study Shows How Effects of Starvation Can Be Passed to Future Generations

Evidence from human famines and animal studies suggests that starvation can affect the health of descendants of famished individuals.

Caught Ollie scratching at my laundry basket so now he has his own

So far every time I set it in front of him now he's jumped straight in, no questions asked, and upon further investigation he seems to enjoy being carried in it from room to room

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

[julianova44]

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!

[bluering8]

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

This is actually what I was adviced to do at the work rehabilitation program I went to. Hasn't left my mind since. 10/10 solid advice

I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

Reading comprehension test:

1. Does OP mention an obligation on victims to forgive abusers who have learned from their past actions?

2. Does OP mention any work on the part of victims to educate their abusers?

3. Is there any mention of “redemption” or “forgiveness” at all in this post?

1 - "obviously depending on the severity and the story"

2 - "throwing my proverbial hat into the ring. it depends ENTIRELY on whether the abuser has committed irredeemable acts like murder and just general horrible shit. if the abuser hasn't done stuff like that then you redeem them. but if they have? to the trenches of Tartarus with them"

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.

Tumblr Science FAQ, round 1

What's your hypothesis, OP?

I am not talking about that unless I have results to share. That would bias the results.

I did write them down and I did share them with a trusted contact who can prove that I wrote them down the same day I made this post. (While I did so before I made this post, I am not sure they will be able to provide proof of that, because I did so on the same day.)

OP are you interested in...?

Do you have to click through to see the post? Does the clickthrough contain the words "mature content"? Then yes.

OP are you interested if the post is about...?

I am interested in the mature content labels, not the content of the post. Is there a clickthrough that contains the words "mature content"? Then yes.

[iamthelowercase]

Tumblr Science FAQ, round 2

Should I reblog this for reach?

Yes, please. I felt really silly when I noticed I forgot to include that in the original post.

Is it okay if I send you my own posts?

Yes, those are perfect for what I'm looking for. I actually need to do some processing on a post to make it useful for testing my hypothesis, and this makes it easy.

Are you looking for "potentially mature content" also, or just "mature content"?

I want both, please. Anything that throws up a blocking screen that you have to click through. The distinctions between them are one of the things I am hoping to study.

Does it matter when the post was made originally?

Technically no. There's no way to respond to this without introducing some bias in the results, and I don't want that. However, I do collect some data on a post as part of making it useful to me, and that data is easier to collect if the post is recent.

What if I request content label review on a post after I send it to you?

I need to see the mature content label to be able to use the post. Because the mature content label hides the content of the post, it is very hard to use a post that no longer has a mature content label. You could send me a screenshot, but people could use that to lie to me.

Basically, it's more work for you to make it usable to me.

OP are you a transphobe? It would ruin the experiment for me if you're a transphobe.

I promise I'm not a transphobe and not doing this for transphobic reasons. You should still double-check that I'm not a transphobe for yourself, though. I am not sure that this study will have the useful effects you're hoping for; I am studying something specific, and it may not be what you hope.

the fact is the transmed stuff isn’t new none of this is new it’s all no different than the gays of 30+ years ago who said “well i’m not like those faggy flamboyant fruits i’m a respectable normal person who just happens to be homosexual” like there will always be bootlicking assimilationists because there will always be cowards

[butchfagminotaur]

in the 1960s it was “i’m a respectable normal everyday person who just happens to be a homosexual” in the 2000s it was “i don’t agree with gay marriage if you want to have a civil union that’s fine but i don’t think we should call it marriage” and now it’s split between “gays against groomers”, TERFs/LGB Without The T, and transmedicalists but they all boil down to the same “if i throw the loud ones under the bus it’ll save me” cowardice it always has and always will
