GOOD NEWS GYNS

A potential cause for endometriosis has been found, called fusobacterium

In the study, mice with the bacteria were able to be treated successfully with an antibiotic and it massively lowered quantity and severity of endometrial lesions

The bacteria was found in most women w endo that were tested, compared to 10% of women without endo.

FINALLY, good news in women’s healthcare!

Hopefully only a few years out from an actual treatment for endometriosis!

Emerging bacterial factors for understanding pathogenesis of endometriosis

The pathogenesis of endometriosis is a complex process, and recent research has introduced novel hypotheses in this field. This review summa

Hey. Heyhey. Do me a favor real quick.

If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.

Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.

Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?

If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.

Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.

So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.

makes me sad when people run their own fics (or anybody else’s fics) through an ai checker.

1. an ai checker itself is, I believe, ai.

2. ai checker is known to be unreliable. it’s known to have incorrectly flagged human-made works as ai, and ai-generated works as human-made.

3. ai itself is trained on real human’s works, in order to mimic real human’s works and how real humans write. and whether or not you like it, ai as a writing tool is getting better and more developed. because it has more and more works to train on. so by running a fic through its machine, you are giving it more work to train on.

running a fic through an ai checker will not actually prove anything. it will either make you question yourself as a writer, or it will open a door for other writers to get harassed and wrongly accused of using ai.

if you suspect somebody’s fic is ai and if that bothers you, click away from the fic. harassing the writer or making a call out post will only encourage witch hunt behavior, and witch hunt behavior means innocent writers can and will get wrongly accused too. again, you cannot know for sure if a fic is ai unless the author themself says so. but even then, the best thing to do if it bothers you is click away, block the writer, scroll past the work. harassment, accusations and call out posts do more harm than good to the writing community.

“but why shouldn’t we harass writers if they admit to using ai”

1. under no circumstances will I condone harassment. I believe there are better, more productive ways to solve a problem.

2. chances are that harassing writers who openly use ai won’t make them stop using ai. it will just make them hide the fact they use ai — therefore their works are no longer tagged as ai, therefore you can’t know for sure that it’s ai, therefore there’s a chance of you, or anybody who is otherwise against ai, reading and giving it kudos without knowing that it’s ai.

3. the most efficient way you can avoid ai-generated works is if “writers” tag these works as ai. they will almost certainly stop tagging their works as such if you harass them.

There is a post going around Tumblr that adds to this, It shows an image of AI thinking the Bible is 100% made by AI.

this may be my age showing but I am a passionate supporter of wires. earbuds? put a leash on those things. wireless keyboard? no, it needs to hold hands with the computer. the ps5 controller I forgot to charge has the staying power of a wealthy nonagenarian with a much younger wife and 14 life insurance policies, but the controller plugged into my pc? that baby will outlive my bloodline. my ethernet cable is like a son to me.

Love my headphones (can’t stand air pods that go in your ears when the headphones go on your ears).

I miss the home button on my old phone (sure there was less screen, but i never miss clicked when the home button was right there).

Every time you have GenAI make you an anime waifu with three titties and a dumptruck ass a family doesn't get to have a drink or bathe.

Every time you ask Copilot to write you a PowerShell script to stroke your boss' ego, a city experiences a brownout.

Every time you chat with your AI "girlfriend" a farmer doesn't get to water their animals.

Using these tools actively hurts you and your community, while at the same time enriching some shitheel who would happily step on your neck to make an additional dollar. Don't use them. Actively remove them from devices you own. Disable them whenever possible. Go out of your way to avoid them. It's honestly not hard. You've been using the internet just fine without GenAI hallucinating at you.

How to turn off Google’s AI Overviews in web searches

If you find Google's AI Overview more irritating than helpful, here's now to turn it off in Chrome.

If you use Google for search, do yourself a favor and fix it so the AI summaries don't appear at the top.

Critical part of pet ownership is figuring out what sort of hard petting they go buckwild for

[phantomrose96]

petting someone else's pet: what a sweet girl. i am very gently stroking the top 7 furs on the tip of her head

petting your own pet: basically, she likes to be a bongo drum, like this

PSA to the DS9 fandom that AO3 users hali and thereifixedit are admitted gen AI users. They did not write their fics themselves but instead used a “tool” that plagiarizes writers in the fandom. One even admitted to feeding the prompt of someone else’s fic to a gen AI to “create” “their own” version. Do not support their “work,” which they did not create and which steals from people who do actually write their own work!

AO3 can’t ban AI outright because it’s impossible to reliably verify at this point, so all that will do is encourage people to lie about it while real writers are falsely accused. So we have to take measures into our own hands. These users are both trying to get away with being coyer about admitting their use on more recent fics, so spread the word here that they are not to be trusted.
