WE FINALLY GOT A PROGESTERONE STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!

Addition of Progesterone Leads to Increased Breast Growth for Transgender Women | Amsterdam UMC

The addition of the hormone progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy leads to increased breast growth for transgender people followi

this is extremely exciting. progesterone's effect on breast growth has been under-studied for so long and as a result has stopped a lot of transfems from getting on it. this could potentially be a game changer in a great way. i'm shaking. holy fuck.

I love it when people describe something that's too big as "fuck off". like this thing is so large. leave.

data: i have no emotions

data, later: hello, geordi. i have created a portrait of us as terran cats. this artistic technique is known as pointillism. it became popular during the late nineteenth century. i selected an american bobtail to represent you, and an oriental shorthair to represent myself. after researching feline behavioral characteristics and common humanoid-to-animal artistic associations, i concluded these were the most statistically appropriate choices. of course, it is not possible to determine which cat breeds we would actually resemble unless we experienced a transporter malfunction or a similar form of energy fluctuation leading to an unexpected physical transformation. i also adjusted the composition to accommodate your VISOR’s perceptual processing. you have previously informed me that faint details tend to blend into surrounding imagery. because of this, i used a high level of contrast to better define the silhouettes. the cats' whiskers and ocular details were rendered in pure white to improve clarity. i additionally incorporated bright violets, cyans, and saturated blues to the main color palette of the piece, as these wavelengths appeared more distinguishable within your visual spectrum. what do you think, geordi?

When TOS decided to take itself seriously in the movies, I don't think anyone stepped up their game as much as George Takei.

He knows what a presence his voice has and how to use it. He didn't have a lot to do, but by God he did it well. And when the time came to take on a captain's chair, I absolutely believed in Captain Hikaru Sulu.

He completely owns this. This is the look of dignified, righteous authority.

This man went from being in an American concentration camp to being a fucking Starfleet Captain.

I'll always be sad we haven't gotten more with him.

okay. fine. i have a solution that will make no one happy. let's make pluto a planet. if we launch one tungsten cube per day for 200 years precisely aimed at pluto's surface it will become massive enough to gravitationally clear its orbit of other kuiper belt objects. this will be completely useless and extremely expensive as well as potentially dangerous. and it will destroy the heart

Average Deep Space Nine A plot: "What are you willing to sacrifice for the chance at a better world? Who are you willing to hurt? Will the pain you cause now outweigh the peace that it might bring? When both choices are bad, and you do what you think is best, can you live with yourself after? Could you live with yourself if you made the opposite choice?"

Average Deep Space Nine B plot: "What do we do with all this hot sauce!?"

Today I saw a yellow ladybeetle with no spots! 💛

[jackalpants]

Wait ladybeetle and not ladybird or ladybug? Is that because it's a different colour or is it a different kinda beetle entirely?

I never heard ladybeetle before I'm very charmed

[teaboot]

Great question! Many-Colored Asian Lady Beetles are a different species entirely! :D They come in all shades from a pale yellow to deep blood red and can have many spots or none at all, and can be identified by the "M" shape in black that you can see on this one's first segment!

They're incredibly invasive, too- you know how some places in the US complain of massive "ladybug swarms" in their windows in the summer? Well those are usually actually Lady Beetles! :D

Though the can look quite similar, ladybugs have no "M" marking, have fewer spots, are usually symmetrical, and don't invade houses- they are predatory and mostly just eat aphids.

And on top of being rather smelly and invading houses, Lady Beetles are very agressive and can bite!

They aren't venomous, though, and their mouths are too tiny to do significant damage :)

nonsense words such as "blorbo" and "skibidi" are outliers and a minuscule minority and thus do not invalidate that statement

addressing the take that victor is somehow effete for symptoms of illness/victor is dainty and physically frail

there’s an implicit link here between femininity and disability here that i resent (because that is what this typically boils down to: equating victor's physical illness with being stereotypically "girly"). victor is, in a way, feminized in-text, and yes, it is in part because of his illness, due to the historical context, but beyond that it’s so much more, and in so many more complex and interesting ways: it is the birth metaphor, his failing to uphold traditionally masculine values, his general lack of autonomy and of any meaningful way to change his circumstances, the gendered oppression for his "feminine" emotional demonstrativeness, having to rely on a man to preserve his narrative voice, etc.

it is true that victor frankenstein experiences moments of genuine physical weakness, as described by walton or even victor himself, namely his nervous fevers and long convalescences. but these moments do not inherently make him frail nor feminine. the persistence of this idea reflects a broader cultural discomfort with illness, particularly when it comes to male characters, and a deeply ingrained habit of framing symptoms of disability or physical vulnerability through femininity. in short, illness becomes effeteness, and effeteness becomes weakness

but victor, very obviously, textually isn't dainty: he rows boats, he hikes for fun, he scales the alps, he rides horses and donkeys, he hauls body parts around, he fucking dog-sleds through the arctic in a nigh superhuman display of resilience. it is absurd how readers routinely depict victor as someone who would be unable to lift a shovel, let alone an entire corpse, when he is so physically active even in times of and in despite of illness. to reduce him to "dainty" in this sort of diminutive tone because he also happens to faint or collapses under severe emotional and physical strain promotes an image of him as waifish and weak, when in fact he's hyper-active and driven to the point of bodily breakdown, as well as ties into a long history of pathologizing or minimizing traits coded as feminine.

happy pride month to everyone who cant pick a consistent label. we may not know what flags we're waving at the pride parade but we're at the party anyways babey.

it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!
