The condition known as PCOS is now called PMOS. What to know about the name change and treatment

A hormonal condition affecting 1 in 8 women around the world just got a new name in hopes of improving care.

I really think this change is downstream of glp-1s. which are going to be standard of care for this condition, even for people of "normal" weight, within the coming decade. There's a lot still in the research pipeline, but now that they actually have drugs that work, they can emphasize that this condition is metabolic first and gynecological second.

Long overdue but very positive, and much more helpful than "you have a condition that makes it difficult to lose weight, you can alleviate the symptoms by losing weight." Metabolic conditions have such circularity of cause and effect but intervening at the level of appetite makes so much more sense than white-knuckle weight loss or futzing around with metformin

if you've ever used the London Underground you might have noticed that it often gets uncomfortably hot. the reason for this is actually that its builders dug too greedily & too deep and as a result the trains are very close to the fires of hell. hope that helps.

i have a psychological hot take that I'm not very serious about and it is that Internal Family Systems and the pop therapy framework of treating yourself as a second person in some sort of bicameral personality splitting is going to be looked back upon as shocking, funny, and regressive in 20 years. and I'll still be posting on this horrible website about it to say "I told you so" when it happens

this and the way people talk about "the brain" and "the body" as being somehow separate from the self. "those of us who live in fat bodies," "my brain is being so silly about this" etc

I'm getting served "women in fur coats" fetish posts on my For You which is fine but it calls to mind a question I have had about this genre of fetish for years, which is why the hetero leather and fur fetish guys don't seem to care if the fur and leather are real or PVC/vinyl. the LGBTQ+ leather community is very much about real leather, and when I imagine myself with a sexual fetish for leather or fur I am positive I would disdain artificial imitations and INSIST my subjects were wearing the real thing. this is a commonality in hetero male fetishists, I've found. they almost universally don't know or care about the difference between the actual object they are fetishizing, and cheaper or worse superficial imitations. it's always bothered me

[taxxxon]

I have a leather fetish and only like the real stuff, and my (straight) boyfriend mostly only cares about whether a garment is shiny. There's a lot of overlap in our interests, but I've had to ban cheap Shein type gifts.

It seems like a very visual fetish, but their imagination still does most of the work, constantly seeing something that just isn't there. All it takes is a suggestion of what they're looking for. The overheated pattern matching goes with the weird delusional aspects of straight male sexuality generally.

ok so this German town, Lohr am Main, claims that it’s the birthplace of the woman who inspired the fairytale of Snow White. (This claim is totally false, the math doesn’t add up, I’m working on a blog post series about it.) They have a whole tourist theme based on this.

In like 2013 or 2014, the mayor held a contest for a statue of Snow White to be put up in the town. The judges’ committee picked this as the winner.

It resembles a young child’s endearingly clumsy drawing, but with a kind of Medusa-esque horror. Tentacles protrude from its head. It has buggy, alien-like eyes and a quirky sideways smile like Junior Asparagus. Its stubby T-rex arms and contorted tiny hands are splayed out in a parody of a welcoming embrace. I think it has decolletage? 

So since he won, the creator was supposed to make a permanent version. He came back with a big permanent metal version and a 100k euro bill for the town. The townspeople (who apparently did not get any say in the contest) were livid. (Comment from @procrastinatorkimberlygrey​: “I FUCKING BET”)

Behold it looming menacingly over the crowd. I like the one woman to the left of the statue who looks like she’s probably crying laughing.

A student put up graffiti of it. Now it’s a meme. They call it “Horror White.” There are T-shirts.

I love everything about this. I’m pretty sure the statue has been vandalized at least once.
