What A Treacherous Thing

To believe a person is more than a person

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

So the CONTEXT is that Xbox is releasing Diablo IV and they changed their logo to match that, BUT I'm CACKLING over the idea that Xbox decided 4 days of pride was enough and that the gays should burn in hell now

This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was.

[piranya]

i just want to add to this post that the last update made to the official pride flag by Glibert Baker before he passed away was THIS:

the new lavender stripe at the very top was added to represent DIVERSITY and as far as i am aware, was added in retaliation against trump’s presidency. i’ve not seen many people use this version, and it deserves to be known.

[lumberjackloverboy-moved]

He would be 71 this year! Happy birthday to a true legend 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I just remembered… I woke up in the middle of the night with a giant monster with a black body - i couldn’t see what the body shape was like - with a golden deer head and red eyes in the corner of the room staring at me. All I did was ask: “Why are you not handsome? Just for a change.” and went back to sleep.

It was probably sleep paralysis. It happens 4 times a month on average, I just ignore it and go back to sleep.

[kitsumahou-deactivated20220713]

Awwn. He doesn’t look so scary.

[nine-point8]

He is a scammer. Trying to make you draw him for free.

[kitsumahou-deactivated20220713]

Oh.

[kala-nni]

A funny addendum, in the Hindu epic there is a Demon called Maricha who is a golden deer.

[kitsumahou-deactivated20220713]

[ataucei]

So you actually we’re visited by a demon and you had the audacity to shame them by telling they weren’t handsome enough to haunt you? Respect.

okey doke!

The Mauritius “underwater waterfall” is not a true waterfall but an naturally occurring optical! In the sense that that’s not water falling, it’s sand and silt shifting! Shifting down a 4000-meter-deep abyssal drop. It is in fact exactly as deep as it looks, sorry :)

Other fun facts about Mauritius include:

that’s where Dodo birds were from!

the entire island has an abnormally strong gravitational pull

and also they just discovered it sits on top of a lost supercontinent or whatever. idk that part’s less cool than the gravity thing

The phrase “exposed to this spider torment” will haunt me

[ventela1]

People in the notes have entirely misunderstood the point of this experiment and what it entails.

It’s not “proving that crickets can be traumatized”. It’s proving that *animals can genetically pass on the stress that a dangerous situation causes, and the offspring will instinctually respond to the same situation without ever having personally experienced it.*

And that’s a big deal for many things, including human psychology.

When Nazis invaded The Netherlands, local Dutch peoples were under extreme emotional and physical duress. The Nazi army took their food for the soldiers, starving the population. They patrolled the streets and harshly reinforced their new laws. Existence was horrible and some parents had to give their children away to wealthier families because they couldn’t feed them anymore. This event is known as the Hongerwinter, or Dutch Famine.

One generation later, the children of mothers who were pregnant at the time of the famine have been proven to exhibit intense reactions to stress, and heightened fight or flight responses. They also experience more obesity because their bodies are prepared for starvation.

Some of these children were never personally exposed to the famine. Their mothers gave birth after conditions had improved, or even after moving to another country. But the effects are there, and those people are now adults who can recognize this and attest that they didn’t experience something else traumatic during childhood. It was passed on in the womb.

You can read about it here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/01/31/science/dutch-famine-genes.amp.html

The Famine Ended 70 Years Ago, but Dutch Genes Still Bear Scars

Babies born during the Dutch Hunger Winter became adults with higher rates of health problems. Now researchers may have found the genetic sw

This is called epigenetics. It’s essential to understanding how the human brain and body works. That our responses to stress can be passed on genetically. That it can show up in how we look physically, our physical health, our mental responses, our instinctual reactions. It’s especially important for people who are in therapy and need to understand *why* they act a certain way before they can actually work on it.

So no, this experiment wasn’t “haha let’s torment a cricket”. I’m not going to argue the potential cruelty of the experiment with people. I just want you to understand what it actually all MEANS.

[melancholieanger]

Reblogging for that last comment!

[moonybyte]

It’s also important for understanding why some countries have a heavily overweight population currently, for example. Cause their parents were possibly among those that did extreme diets aka their bodies suffered “starvation”. Like, many psychological and physiological issues might get retraced by such studies.
