Fandom rant:

I blocked another person from the stupid rnm class but I wanna point out for the one millionth time that I’m not white and I’m a woman and if one more blog that I would honestly bet money is run by a white person disregards my words and opinions toward a character’s ACTIONS not her race her ACTIONS as being misogynoir I will genuinely go insane because I have experienced racism and walking around labelling anybody who doesn’t like a POC character as racist (especially when they are a POC themselves) takes away from real fucking experiences with racism

#roswell new mexico #rnm #rnm discourse #anti maria deluca #(this post isn’t really about that it’s more about people talk about that?)#this “class is bullshit and I think we all recognise that #also lacks simple etiquette like literally I’m here doing the most just to warn people who like the character when I post bad things #about her and there is always someone (not even always from the class) that seeks it out #and proceeds to make unnecessary comments and just completely wrong assumptions

It is so fun to live in a basically tropical zone* during global warming.

These past few weeks have been EXTRA FUUUN.

* Technically not actually tropical, but more of a transition zone b/w tropic and subtropic. There's alot of debates and different classification systems and honestly, it's kinda confusing to understand. I think it's considered tropical under the main system but we have features that aren't typical of a tropical zone (ex: In the colder parts of the year, it can drop to like 50s-40sF/10-4.44C, so I think that's a no no???). But that's my understanding of it as of now. Either way, where I live it's hot and humid sooo, point still stands.

#sol talks #it me!#my post #climate crisis #global warming #climate change #the power went out during class 🙃🙃🙃#at least class ended early #have started this FUN new habit where I send the felt temperature to my friend in Mexico #also everytime I say fun it's sarcasm #I'm actively suffering cause I have to walk outside(be it in the shade) to get to different buildings this semester #anyways back home so AC LETS GOOOOO

A Bay Area OB-GYN is organizing an effort to bring abortion services and reproductive healthcare to several southern states bordering the Gulf of Mexico via a ship sailing on federal waters.

Dr. Meg Autry, who also works as a professor at UCSF, had already been working to bring this effort to life. But when Roe v. Wade was overturned, Autry said their plans were accelerated.

As first reported by KCBS, this plan called Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes (PRROWESS) aims to bring reproductive healthcare to states where abortions are banned, limited, or hard to access.

In an interview with NBC Bay Area, Autry noted that people living in southern parts of states with restrictive abortion rules like Texas and Louisiana, are actually closer to the coast than to nearby states with more abortion access. Additionally, it is less expensive to board a boat than buying a plane ticket to another state.

Autry has performed abortions for decades and refers to herself as "a lifelong educator, a lifelong career abortion advocate."

"It is my life’s work," she said.

"Part of the reason we’re working on this project so hard is because wealthy people in our country are always going to have access [to abortions], so once again it’s a time now where poor, people of color, marginalized individuals, are gonna suffer --and by suffering I mean like lives lost," Autry said.

She explained that this ship will operate on federal waters — nine miles from the coast of Texas and three from the coast of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi — where it can evade those states' abortion restrictions. PRROWESS will arrange for patients to be transported to the ship, which will vary depending on where they are coming from, once they pass a pre-screening process.

Autry and a team of licensed medical professionals will offer surgical abortions for up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. The PRROWESS team would also offer other point-of-care gynecological services such as testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.

"The project is being funded with philanthropy and the patients care is on a needs basis, so most individuals will pay little to nothing for services," Autry said.

Stacy Cross, president of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which offers services in California and Nevada, said it's not surprising that health care providers are teaming up to offer services on the seas.

Cross explained that the abortion service provider community has been preparing for the possibility of a post-Roe world for some time now and that, "over the years we’ve talked about things like boats on federal waters out past the 5-mile line."

"It's just it’s a testament to the time we’re in, because its really horrific that we’re having to think of these things in the United States of America, how to keep people safe," Cross said.

Several California Planned Parenthood chapters told NBC Bay Area that demand from out-of-state patients at California clinics has actually been up for months already due to policies in other states.

“I think people are going to be as creative as possible, the people who have the funds are getting on planes and flying, we’re seeing other people drive here,” Cross said.

Autry's organization is still raising money to secure a ship and retrofit it for medical use. Once that happens, she says they'll put the captain, crew and medical team aboard and set sail.

Autry and her team maintain the process is legal in federal waters. Still, they expect legal challenges from those states every step of the way. The PRROWESS team has already tapped multiple lawyers to help them as they continue with this voyage.

I'm pretty sure some data entries you get from scanning suggest that the life in 4546b can, in fact, self fertilize and possess both male and female parts.

My guess is it's more common for Leviathans to self fertilize since their numbers, as apex predators, would need to stay fairly low and thus have small clutches along with tending towards being quite territorial about their claimed hunting grounds, but they could also mate as normal if they wanted.

yeah! according to the wiki, a majority of fauna are simultaneous hermaphrodites, and i didnt make celestial leviathans an exception to this. i wouldnt be surprised if they were capable of being autogamous but i expect that it wouldnt be as common as sexual reproduction

but yeah, i expect sexual reproduction >>> autogamy. kind of the whole point is to swap genes and get a good amount of genetic diversity. if too many generations self-fertilize, then the offspring would have more homozygous genes

lets assume this gene is Aa, so Aa x Aa = 25% AA, 50% Aa, 25% aa

and if the offspring turns out to have AA or aa for this gene, then any further offspring gotten from self-fertilizing would have the exact same copy because theres really no other variation from that point forth. do that to enough genes, and that becomes a problem with the low genetic diversity

so yeah! asexual reproduction is still on the table, just that i imagine sexual reproduction would be the more common of the 2, even if the leviathans are territorial

#ask #anon #asexual reproduction is still of a hell of a valid strategy though #look at those female-only lizards!#however they have 2 strategies at least for the new mexico whiptail #which is the species im currently looking at #and its to either asexually reproduce via parthenogenesis #or to fuck the males of a different lizard species thats also in the same genus #wait parthenogenesis is pretty interesting #its when a gamete (sex cell) doesnt combine with another gamete and still produces an embryo #the resulting offspring can have either all or half of the parents clones #and are called full or half clones respectively #oh there are so many breeding strategies. good lord #whatever i wrote in the main post might not be entirely true because there is just. So Many #and i am but one person furiously googling a lot of things #coasting through using my childhood obsession of biology #i mean. yeah i took bio classes but i wouldnt count them because i hardly remember a thing from those #and they were more for fun #reproduction past gametes and diploid haploid etc was just not covered #feel free to correct me if im wrong on any front! please correct me #i dont want to give misinfo and also im fucking vibing over here chilling with my pulled up google pages

I can’t deny it, not with the blood of those who proudly yelled it

But how can I claim it, when I’ve never known the things that made them who they are?

What do I do, when I can’t shed the label of the ancestors I shall disgrace, and yet I’ll still never be worthy of the name they fought for?

That's an excellent and poetic way to put the experience. It feels both wrong to ignore it and wrong to claim it, so you're lost somewhere in the middle.

I don't know anything about what it's like to be Mexican. The only time I've been to Mexico was as a baby, so I can't even claim observational knowledge of anything there.

I learn things I could've learned from family through the internet, through mentions in history classes as if it doesn't belong to me. I learn about Mexico from the perspective of America like I'm not descended from both.

Both sides are too loud to ignore but it's so difficult to figure out where to go, what to do with myself. Because these things are parts of me that I cannot set aside. I can't rewrite this part of who I am because it's history.

So what I do instead is pause for a moment, take a breath, and remind myself that even if my experience isn't the full Mexican one, I'm allowed to acknowledge it and enjoy it. It is a part of me, even if no one else notices it. Even if it's alongside parts that seem a lot louder.

I think we can be worthy. I think we're enough. It's hard to recognize sometimes, but saying it out loud helps. Even if you don't believe it quite yet.

#quil's queries #aroace-dadwinstan #identity #there's some parts of it that are especially strange for me living in new mexico #because like. mexico is right there. and it bleeds over into us. the culture #there's a high hispanic population and elements of mexico here #so I'm both experiencing it but not #and surrounded by people in this weird boat as well. to varying degrees #like half my class is hispanic as well. and even more specifically most of us are mexican #but a lot of us also have that half-connection #it's just strange all around #trying to figure yourself out

I really do enjoy watching the rest of tumblr try to figure out what the hell AMC prestige drama Better Call Saul is, in fact, about

#it’s about lies toilets ants and murder #it’s about realizing what you truly believe in when it’s too late for it to save you #it’s about how you always have a choice #it’s about loneliness #it’s about a class action lawsuit against an elder care facility in new mexico

I’m crying laughing do you know how we -who have been getting harassed by that class- all were like I would bet money the professor is a white woman?

Well I looked her up and guess what? Somebody better pay me my money that’s right she’s a white woman

am I surprised? No because ofc it’s a white woman who is going around overcompensating calling everything racist which disregards actual racism and even accusing WOC OF MISOGYNOIR for not liking a characters actions instead of educating her class on what misogynoir ACTUALLY is.

I have stomach cramps so bad today I couldn't finish my assignment for Spanish class and it's my final

#Este.txt #Pissed about having to switch schools soon where I'll only get one elective versus two #I'm goo indecisive for this #My current school is more loose with stuff and let's us go have a choir and band for our homeroom time since we don't do anything important #For homeroom #But that's gonna change #Living in New Mexico is nice until you remember they make Spanish mandatory #<- don't quote me on this I'm not completely sure #By bsf is even more pissed since they're already fluent in Spanish and they still have to take the class #Oh! And there's a chance that I won't even get the elective I want if it conflicts with my classes
