[vitiligo-is-not-a-trend]

Hi there, I was recently told by my dermatologist that she’s 90% sure I’ve got vitiligo (she wants to take a sample to test to make sure there’s nothing else going on before she diagnoses me for sure.)

I went online to look for tips for caring for my vitiligo and the like but found so many people so uncomfortable in their skin because of it and trying to get rid of it and I struggled to understand why. I’ve always thought it beautiful, so it really confused me.

I am fat, disabled, autistic and visibly queer so I don’t really feel the same weight of beauty standards because of being so on the outer edge of societal norms. I am also privileged in the way that I am white and pale so my vitiligo doesn’t stand out all that much. I think I’ve been ignorant and insensitive and I want to fix that.

I would really love to be more informed and understanding about the community going forward so that I don’t do any harm and I remain mindful. Do you know any good resources that I can read or research? I’m having a hard time finding anything that isn’t about getting rid of it.

I sincerely apologize if any of this comes off poorly, thank you for your time.

Hi!

Yeah it's rather unfortunate that a lot of the material surrounding vitiligo is about getting rid of it </3

I'm sure your dermatologist has probably already discussed this so sorry if I'm just repeating stuff you already know lol. But when it comes to caring for vitiligo the main things you want to pay attention to are things like sun exposure and UV intensity. Wearing sun screen as frequently as possible is also a really good idea. Usually the worst time of day is around noon to one pm but during the summer time it might be an all day thing.

I am not a doctor/dermatologist so cant really offer any medical advice besides the few things I remember my dermatologist telling me when I first got diagnosed years ago.

Idk how in-depth you want to go with the research stuff but there are medical studies out there that talk about genetic factors and what not. A few years ago I did a presentation on it for a biology course in college and luckily I saved it to my personal slides account so I still have the bibliography that I used!

As for when it comes to the community the best research will probably be from just talking to people who've had the condition! Personal anecdotes are def the way to go, so searching for any community groups might be worth a shot!

Also don't worry you don't have top apologize <3

The British police forces, since there's not one national one, are the oldest such organised ones in the world. Officially they are now "police services" rather than "forces". The first modern police force was London Town's Metropolitan Police …

I have been looking on the character design for spider man off from the spectacular spider man, an animated TV series from a decade ago. I have been looking at the art style that was used to generate the character, and I was practicing that same style for my Dasher character for my graphic novel. I was busy focusing on the shape of the body as well as the shading applied for the character.

I have been experimenting if I could do the same cartoon style for my graphic novel. After it's done, I have been amazed by how it has turned out. It was hard to copy the body shape and make it into my Dasher character, but it was worth doing.

The research papers, “From Terminological Data Banks to Knowledge Databases: The Text as the Starting Point” by M. Teresa Cabré, 2003 and “Terminology in the Age of Multilingual Corpora” by Alan K. Melby, 2012 respectively confirm the opinion of Pierre Auger who presented his futuristic view on terminology in 1989 and predicated that knowledge banks will play major role in the coming years.Cabré as well as Melby provide information on...

Certified translation services in Delhi. With growing automation of translation and translation processes, what is the future of terminology and terminologists? Has Cabré been able to resolve the conflict between traditional approach and sociolinguistic approach? Cabré as well as Melby and many other national as well as international organizations continue to follow the single concept principle, how far are they able to address concern raised by new approaches to terminology that questions about the communicative aspect of languages, and protypicality of concepts? With rise of hybridity of Machine tools and Memory tools, and specialized knowledge banks, what is the future of termbases and TBX file formats?
