“Tretinoin inhibits wound healing.” oh fuck really??? fuck me

alkdsghj so apparently this is a more controversial statement than i was even aware of, i’m dipping into the research now and there are studies that say that PRE-procedure tretinoin is good for healing with planned procedures like dermabrasion, but POST-procedure tretinoin is bad for punch biopsy wound healing in rats.. or another study says it’s good... anyway, i will confirm with mr t but my experience has been (a) the guy who pierced my ears screening for people on Accutane (the systemic stuff, not the topical stuff) after having client after client whose piercings would just NOT fucking heal and finally realizing what they all had in common, which i found fascinating and which mr t corroborated, followed by (b) noticing myself that if i keep using tretinoin on a popped zit, it stayed weepy and gross for days instead of crusting over, which i wasn’t a fan of. all that to say: wound healing is a complex cascade of cell growth and signalling and tretinoin definitely does something relevant to that cascade but apparently we don’t even know clinically what that means! science!

symbolicanus reblogged your post: Review Flagged Posts Button

How did you appeal the posts? I haven’t found a way to appeal with the new system and I haven’t seen anyone else say...

I’m going to try and condense everything into one post.

The first part is easiest to do on a PC.

First thing to do is go to your archive. It can be found at blogname.tumblr.com/archive (replace ‘blogname’ with the name of your blog). It will show everything that you’ve ever done with your blog. The only flagged posts you can do anything about is ones that your originated. That means if you reblogged something, you have to wait for the original poster to appeal it. Since I post a lot of art, I filtered it so it only showed photos. And then you’re going to want to scroll through and find these:

Clicking on the hidden posts will give a page saying that the content you’re looking for isn’t there. But, don’t close that window yet. The web address will be blogname.tumblr.com/post/postnumber/weknowwhat’sgoodforyou. Copy the post number. Open a different window and enter the address of www.tumblr.com/edit/postnumber. Is it your original post? Great. If it’s somebody else’s, ignore it.

Now, either using a word processing program or good ol’ fashioned pen and paper, write down the postnumber and the date it was posted. That’s not important other than helping you later. Do that for every flagged post.

The next part I found to be easiest on my phone. Start scrolling through your feed until you get to a banned post. The image will have a red bar across the top telling you that the image violates the new standard, but on the right will be a box you can tap/click which says ‘appeal’.

And that’s it. As far as I know. I did that for over two hours yesterday, all 23 images were restored. There might be an easier way in the future, such as in the drop down menu on the pc version, but I haven’t seen that on mine.

(The image and a lot of the information about the process I got from @thevampirecat in this post.)

yeah sometimes psych meds stop working for you or stop working as well and you have to change to a different med

oh word?? that’s nuts i’ve always taken one specific daily med for anxiety/depression that’s always been The One and i’ve slightly increased my dose little by little over like, 20 years so can’t relate...this is the first time i’ve used one-off type psych meds that you’re not supposed to use super often, and i’ve been using this kind for like 4 years so i guess that’s possible? thanks!!

Oh no Martin’s feet are gone completely now. You’ve been given the default icon :(

so like alskdjf;alsdfkjasl;df on desktop i see the default, on mobile i see the feet, various people have seen either on either platform, and i never see the pixels except on mobile when someone else reblogs and i scroll past it in my dash. long story short: they’re all over the place lol

i understand some of these words

lsdjghlkjsgh ain’t that the mood. here, idk if any of these articles will help but

this is the Scuttlebutt FAQ page and it has some really simple helpful metaphors for things imo (x)

this article is about quitting Facebook -- it talks about Facebook’s flaws and explains how Scuttlebutt is better: (x)

this one from The Atlantic is pretty in-depth and gives some of the more historical birth-of-the-internet context of why Scuttlebutt is unique (x)

this one has some pretty technical explanations for how Scuttlebutt is different from BitTorrent/Bitcoin/etc, so if you have a vague idea of those things then it could help (x)

symbolicanus replied to your post “scuttlebutt scuttlebutt scuttlebutt”

...are you saying there’s a website called scuttlebutt

so it’s not technically a website in the traditional sense? it’s a decentralized social network, so it’s more like... a Facebook where there are no central servers where somebody keeps and mines/sells your data, instead it just sends your posts directly to your friends/followers without a third party who has the power to read/censor/leak/do whatever they want with that content.

The neatest part imo is that it uses the internet infrastructure to transmit data but it doesn’t actually need the internet infrastructure to maintain the social networks -- so like for example, if Facebook went down, there’s the potential to lose all the content and connections you’ve made there because it’s all on Fb’s servers. But even if the whole internet infrastructure were to go down, Scuttlebutt is still designed to share/spread content peer-to-peer via local networks. It’s slower but it still works, and the social network itself stays intact while you figure out how to reconnect.

mostly i just think it’s neat! and seems prudent to explore given the horseshit every single centralized social media platform has been up to since the beginning of the internet! and the icon is a very cute hermit crab:
