Vyolettha's Spot

This is my personal blog to share my thoughts and things I like or find hilarious or thought-provoking. I'm bisexual and I support all people in the LGBTQPIA+ community as well as our straight allies. I also support women and feminist ideals. I will not tolerate any bigotry or exclusion, so keep all that BS to yourself and away from my page. I wish you all blessings and joy!

Hello! I haven’t posted here in a while. I changed my hair cut but it’s still PURPLE! My girlfriend and I are still together! Fourth anniversary is in December! So in love and it keeps getting better and deeper. It can be quite surprising at times. I feel things I’ve never felt. But I also feel things I never knew. I didn’t even know about some things let alone want them. That’s the stuff that made more wondrous all the hope I kept. And sometimes I didn’t have the strength to keep it. Let me tell you though, it can happen. So hang on to all the hope you can. Because sometimes what you’re hoping for finds you! And sometimes things you didn’t know you could want. Wondrous things. Be blessed my friends! 💜🫶🏼👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

I hate that Christians get upset when I worry about whether they’re homophobic. I have to tread so carefully around THEIR feelings because “not all Christians hate gay people“ and it’s not fair. Enough Christians are homophobic that I have to be careful, okay? Enough Christians are homophobic that I have to worry about being hate crimed or harassed for my identity. I don’t owe you an explanation for my fear.

Ive been Christian before. I know what some of you are taught, and I know how some of you think because I was once taught to think that way. And telling me that people don’t think that way is just plain gaslighting. ACTUAL gaslighting, not whatever the fuck all these tik tok creators think it is. I don’t care that your feelings are hurt. I don’t care that you’re “progressive.” I still have to be afraid of people like you until I know I can trust them.

[vyolettha]

I feel this way too.

My favorite thing ever was to try to recreate restaurant food with items I had onhand and they turned out to be some of my favorite recipes. I can’t wait to have access to a full kitchen and be inspired again.

OKAY but like the woman is a super famous sculptor herself. Two major players in their own respective industries and they don’t know it! What are the chances? Life is amazing!

[sheldrakus]

Ok, so I flipped back through the notes to find the name of the artist who isn’t Jay Z - she’s Ellen Grossman and it turns out her work is massively cool! She makes drawings and sculptures that look like delicate lace or something, but are actually based on topographic maps and scientific data - ‘the sensuous aspects of water currents, land masses and the wind made visible’. I THINK SHE MAY BE A WIZARD. Anyway, check it out - ellengrossman.com

[soulofasub]

It’s amazing that this woman is famous in her own right, but just for a moment I wanna point out that when she didn’t know the man next to her from a hole in the ground, she was still so immediately all about his success.  “I’m proud of you.” What a great person.

[anotherhawk]

Here’s some of her art for those who may be curious.

with all this marvel hype i just wanna remind everyone that valkyrie is a bisexual character played by a bisexual actress and y’all can actually use the word bisexual to describe her! she doesn’t have to be queer or gay or sapphic and she definitely shouldn’t be described as a lesbian.

Look at where you get your information. Make sure it’s reliable. Stop causing more pain to people already in a rough place.

Post reads as follows

I performed an emergency surgery several months ago to treat a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The patient could have died, but we were able to stabilize her and send her home the same day.

She called my office this week in tears asking why we did not reimplant her pregnancy in her uterus, why did we not offer her this option. Because maybe her baby didn’t have to die.

Pseudoscience is invading my operating room and my relationship with my patients. This poor woman had to have emergency surgery, and then grieved the loss of a pregnancy that was never viable, that could have killed her.

And now she is grieving it again because politicians who lack even the most basic understanding of the physiology of pregnancy are dangling untruths in front of her and calling it fact.

In case anyone reading this is wondering, THIS IS NOT A THING. It is NOT POSSIBLE to reimplant ectopic pregnancies into the uterus. These are NOT viable pregnancies, and all the wishing in the world, the magical thinking, the political grandstanding, will not make it so.

Hi friends. Quick anatomy lesson, complete with fun pictures.

This is the reproductive system in question.

Interesting, right? I’ve been told it looks like a shark.

In viable pregnancies, a fertilized egg (known as a zygote in biology) implants in the wall of the uterus.

As the pregnancy progresses, the zygote grows. Cells undergo mitosis (where the cells replicate) and differentiation (where the cells take on special jobs and become organ systems). At full term, the zygote resembles a baby we know.

The placenta delivers nutrients to the fetus and helps detoxify wastes. From the placenta comes the umbilical cord, which serves a similar purpose. The fetus’ head presses against the cervix, through which it will pass during birth. The part in the circle are the pregnant person’s internal organs! The uterus smooshes them to make room. It’s no wonder they use the restroom so often!

In an ectopic pregnancy, however, the zygote doesn’t implant correctly.

It can implant in a variety of places (including the fallopian tube, pictured) to which it is not suited.

After it implants, it continues to undergo mitosis (which we talked about earlier). Whereas the uterus is equipped to deal with this exponential growth, other parts of the body are not.

As the zygote grows, it puts immense strain on the organ it implanted in. If it continues to grow too long, it can rupture! The zygote will lose blood supply and will quickly die. The pregnant person will begin to bleed internally without proper medical care. Left alone, it can lead to death of the pregnant person.

This diagram is a little complex, but put very simply, because the zygote hasn’t implanted in the right place originally, it cannot be removed and implanted in the correct one. It won’t be able to fuse correctly with the uterus, or to send signals to develop the umbilical cord and placenta we talked about earlier, not to mention that the rupture causes blood to be diverted from the zygote, effectively killing it before it can be implanted.

Not only is it futile, but it’s unsafe for the pregnant person. Ectopic pregnancies cause blood loss, which is exacerbated by further surgical intervention. Exposure to external environments exposes the zygote to infection, and surgical implantation exposes the pregnant person to infection, which could also lead to pregnancy complication or loss.

To make a long story short: you cannot reimplant an ectopic pregnancy. Please stop trying.

[questioningchristianqueer]

I kinda wish I wasn’t….

I kinda wish I wasn’t queer.

I wish my faith didn’t seem to come up against my sexuality.

I wish I could be in ministry without my sexuality mattering.

I wish I didn’t feel so broken and shameful.

I wish I wasn’t so alone.

I wish I didn’t come out. And get into ministry. And passionately hold faith.

[vyolettha]

I feel just like this.
