USA, she/her, 18+ _へ__(‾◡◝ )> No minors! 18+ only! I am not a content creator, but I reblog a lot of adult content. Mostly video game and TV/movie obsessions, with a giant heap of news and political crap.
Breathing a deep sigh of relief as the credits rolled Sunday night, fans praised HBO drama Euphoria for delivering a happy ending in which they would never have to watch the series ever again. “Thank God, it’s over—it’s finally over,” said 29-year-old fan Emma Torres, who added that the experience of realizing she would never see another episode of the series as long as she lived was like “riding off into the sunset away from her television.”
I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

Abstract
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound global impact, raising concerns about its long-term effects, particularly neurological complications. While studies have highlighted such complications in adults, there is a paucity of research focusing on children.
Objective To examine the medium- to long-term neurological and cognitive symptoms in 18 year old children and below with positive versus negative COVID-19 antigens and to identify the probable risk factors to promote specific health actions.
Methods An observational study was carried out to determine neurological symptoms in the medium and long terms after COVID 19. A random sample of 124 children, both symptomatic or asymptomatic, tested positive or negative for COVID-19 through swab tests.
Results Neurological symptoms were assessed between 6 to 12 months and 2 years after the infection. Acute symptoms, including headache, anosmia, ageusia, and myalgia, were observed in more than 20% of the children, but they generally resolved within 6 to 12 months. Persistent functional difficulties, such as in studying, paying attention, and socializing, were reported in 3% of the cases. Behavioral symptoms at baseline were noted in 7.8% of children, but they were remitted in most cases, except for those with prior involvement.
Conclusion These findings underscore the need for continued monitoring of children following COVID-19 infection and the importance of tailored health interventions.
Resumen
Antecedentes La pandemia por enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19, en inglés) ha tenido un profundo impacto global y ha generado preocupación sobre sus efectos a largo plazo, especialmente sobre las complicaciones neurológicas. Si bien los estudios han destacado tales complicaciones en adultos, hay escasez de investigaciones centradas en niños.
Objetivo Examinar los síntomas neurológicos y cognitivos a mediano y largo plazo en niños de 18 años o menos, con antígenos positivos versus negativos para COVID-19, e identificar los posibles factores de riesgo para promover acciones de salud específicas.
Métodos Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional para determinar los síntomas neurológicos en el medio y largo plazo tras COVID-19. Una muestra aleatoria de 124 niños se diagnosticó por tests de saliva. Los tests para COVID-19 podían ser negativos o positivos, en niños sintomáticos o asintomáticos.
Resultados Los síntomas neurológicos se evaluaron entre 6 y 12 meses y 2 años posinfección. Se observaron síntomas agudos como cefalea, anosmia, ageusia y mialgias en más del 20% de los niños, que generalmente se resolvieron en un plazo de 6 a 12 meses. En el 3% de los casos, se informaron dificultades funcionales persistentes, como para estudiar, prestar atención y socializar. Los síntomas conductuales se produjeron en el 7.8% en el momento inicial, pero remitieron en la mayoría de los casos, excepto en aquellos con afectación previa.
Conclusión Estos hallazgos enfatizan la necesidad del monitoreo continuo de niños tras la infección por COVID-19 y la importancia de intervenciones de salud personalizadas.
The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.
The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.
Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.
Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.
This is the story of Toni and Charlotte who escaped the Nazis. It's the first Trans+ History Week article of 2024
Prague, 1942. A refugee Jewish couple light Shabbat candles as night falls. The words of their Shabbes prayer ignite the Friday night darkness, alongside the hesitantly kindling flame. Together they create a holy space of rest in the middle of an increasingly hostile world that persecutes them: for their faith, their sexuality, and because both women are trans.
The first time Jyn ever saw him she was a moody eleven year old, only recently come into the custody of one Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus. Her life over the past several years had been chaotic, first her mother dying, her father vanishing, and later the guardian her father had chosen abandoning her. When Chirrut and Baze first brought her into their home, she was as prickly as a sea urchin.
They lived in an old house with a rickety wooden ramp that led down to the scrub and sand that then gave way to sea. She found in those first few weeks with them and their adopted son Bodhi, some four years older than her, that as long as she stayed within view of the back deck, they would let her be. She could often be found at the water's edge after that, within view of her new guardians who approached her the way one might approach a feral feline who hissed and spit with fury every time you approached.
The first time she saw him dip into the water, she sore it must be her imagination. She was standing on the shore, staring out at the waves as the sun slowly sank, illuminating the water in reds and purples. She felt the distinctive sense of being watched, and her eyes scanned about. Somewhere further down the shore, several feel out into the water, she thought she saw movement, a humanoid figure for a moment, but no, it was just the flick of a fin. A shark perhaps? She couldn't tell at this distance.
As the years went on and she settled into life with her guardians, she would feel the sensation of being watched as she stood at the water's edge, and would catch sight of a dark head of hair, or beautiful golden and copper fins, usually near sunset, occasionally near sunrise.
She saw him often enough, at least, that ten years later, when she found his wounded form, blood streaking the sand like he'd pulled himself out of the water to escape some enemy, she knew who he was.
Pain etched into his expression, he would look up into her sea colored eyes with his own warm brown as he attempted to lift himself up on his arms, only to collapse into her lap, falling unconscious with his head against her thigh.
And so, the woman dies. The woman dies so the man can be sad about it. The woman dies so the man can suffer. She dies to give him a destiny. Dies so he can fall to the dark side. Dies so he can lament her death. As he stands there, brimming with grief, brimming with life, the woman lies there in silence. The woman dies for him.
