#and anatomy is so fucking annoying

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

...wait, people are genuinely upset that greta gerwig didnt get nominated for best director for the toy commercial movie when the movie got nominations for best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best original song, best production design, best costume design, best picture, and best adapted screenplay for which greta gerwig was nominated?

#kai rambles #im sorry #im just like so annoyed at all the #''movie about feminism and patriarchy made by women has oscar nom go to ken'' reactions #as if no women were nominated at all????? #america ferrera was nominated #billie eilish was nominated #margot robbie was nominated as part of the best picture nom #greta gerwig was fucking nominated #like im sorry but this is like the white feminist version of a moral panic #also justine triet was nominated for best director for anatomy of a fall but i guess yall dont care about films in different languages #also lily gladstone got a best actress nomination becoming the first native american to nominated for an oscar #nimona got a best animated feature film nomination #in general we're seeing more non-english language films get nominations which goes a long way in convincing the general public in the #angliaphere to actually engage with media outside of it #*anglosphere #i just #your babys first feminism toy commercial not sweeping every category is a non-issue #and these reactions are so fucking embarrassing #like im sorry but the toy commercial movie happens to also have a lot of issues with white feminism #and a lot lf native americans have spoken out about it being outright hostile to them #its not a perfect film and its not being snubbed by the patriarchy #it just happens to be that there are other films that came out which were better

Reminder for all you visual artists out there that spiders are NOT insects.

Most people already know that they have eight legs, but did you know that they also do not have a three-segmented body?

[ID in alt text] [Image from Wikipedia]

There is no head separate from a thorax on a spider. Instead, they have a cephalothorax! As a note, it is where the legs attach as well.

#let me express to u perhaps The frustration of my life #i like to learn. it is perhaps my favorite thing. new information. more more more constantly #but. my fucking brain is the fucking worst. because im not fucking stupid if i can focus and process the words being said i can understand #many things. i like to learn about math and physics and chemistry and biology and anatomy... ect concepts #but the focus and the processing of words is where we have problems. because i cannot focus for more than like 5min #i blink and suddenly ive been spaced out for a sec and need to reorient. i cant prioritize what to do 1st and im constantly bouncing betwee #tasks so nothing ever gets done and im too intimidated to start learning things. and when im trying to learn we habe the processing words #problem. like my reading comprehension is so fucking bad. like i will read a book on paper and maybe retain 25% of the info if im not #hardcore trying. for a class where i had to do a ton of paper reading. i had to read everything out loud to myself. highlight important #info. write myself a summary based on the highlights and then read the paper again before i could even begin to feel comfortable in #discussions. it was so fucking frustrating and miserable. ppl will give me physical books and im like thanks i cant fucking read sorry #too fucking dyslexic. read and listen they say. u have to read and listen at the same time bc i cant pay attention and i cant read #so if i do both then maybe the info gets in. thats y i have to read aloud but i hate it and still get distracted #i mean. i probably just have an attention problem. its also really annoying that my short term working memory is so awful #bc in order to make things make sense i have to draw or write them out. i cant judt go off the top of my head or i get stuck saying thr sam #thing over and over and over. its like my ability to think is extremely shallow. but thrn i read papers and recognize concepts from classes #i took years ago and im like. fucking y cant i know what i know? my head feels so empty but info is in there somewhere #its just so fucking frustrating that i love understanding systems so much. complex annoying little systems that fit together like a puzzle #and my fucking brain refuses to accept the information im trying to get in there. so i return to a remark left on my dyslexia assignment: #intelligent when not constrained by language or time. thanks. unfortunately language is how ppl communicate #also i freak out under time pressure lol. anyway ive just been reading papers for fun this weekend and remembering y i dont: bc its agony #but also i fucking love the concepts so much and i need a good understanding of photosynthesis before August when i join a photosynthesis #lab lmao. ugh. i love learning but my brain was not buildmt #built for it. if only if only someone could podcast about the obscure things im interested in while reading directly from the source #unrelated #also its like 105 degrees plus. its too fucking hot out #thats like 40 degrees C. the sun is like a death ray

Who was gonna tell me that reading is fun sometimes

#I will bring shame to my eight year old self NO MORE!!!! I LIKE READING AGAIN!! YIPPEE!!! #I think I seriously enjoy reading about the brain and body and trauma like it’s so strange to spend two hours laying in bed with a book but #it’s so nice #I really enjoyed science growing up even into high school I just didn’t have the patience or motivation to finish essays #and my freshman year science teacher got fired halfway thru the year after they found out she didn’t have a teaching license and then my #class got split up into an advanced science teachers class who was way ahead of everything we had learned and then I hated the class and #science in general then in sophomore year I had another shitty teacher who didn’t care about teaching and I literally would find recourses #and send them to the teacher to put on the projector and then I would talk thru the resource that’s fucking real I literally had class #periods where I TAUGHT my sophomore year science class. GAHHHH I still get so bad at that fucking teacher I don’t even remember her name but #she pissed me off so bad cause she paired me with the two guys who always made fun of me just bc I was smart and they were annoying. anyways #depression and adhd and boredom happened and I almost failed that class but still passed in the end and then in junior year during covid #I was taking a biology class and an anatomy class that was supposed to be seniors (seniors did the advanced class and they offered regular #class to select juniors) and I ended up being the ONLY junior who wasn’t doing the advanced course. like. everyone else got assignments and #I had to ask hey what’s the easy version of that assignment cause I’m technically in the easy class even tho we’re in the same class period #and then Covid and I stopped caring at all about anhthing and then dropped out of school and moved down the entire coast so yknow. #I never stood a chance at being good at science but I’m realizing I might actually be passionate about it cause I have been since I was #little I just kind of ignored it and forgot but like. for one birthday I got a telescope and for one Christmas I got a microscope. like it’s #well known to everyone but me that I like science apparently oh my god what’s wrong with my brain !!!! anyways. #I like science now it’s weird to feel passionate about learning I haven’t done that in a long time #oh my god when I took my GED test my highest score was in SCIENCE AND NOT ENGLISH #THIS IS ALL SO OBVIOUS I LOVE SCIENCE WHY AM I NOT DOING SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE RELATED TO SCIENCE

i don't think i'm meant for '00s shows anymore

#i watched house and was horrified #i'm watching grey's anatomy and i'm horrified #i'm watching private practice and i'm horrified #i'm just constantly horrified and yelling at all of these characters for being so fucking terrible #like not gonna say that spn didn't have it's problems bc hoo boy did it ESPECIALLY in the kripke and gamble eras #but like at least as a genre show there's an underlying understanding that this is not our world #it adds an extra layer of separation #whereas the other shows are supposed to take place in our world #which means theoretically these types of people actually exist? or at the very least tptb of these shows think that these people exist #and these people are fucking annoying #and also terrible #eloquently put love #bri watches...... well right now it's private practice l;kajdsf;lksajdf

banging my head into the wall i think so mcuh about mandalorian armor. in so many different ways. like is there a word for the weird cheek indent things i cannot possibly call them cheek indents but i mean if youre a mandalorian and mandalorian armor is something you wear approximately every day if not all the time and your armor is like considered A Part Of You then surely you have a word for every aspect about it. what are those cheek indents

#i need like a diagram with all the anatomy outlined and labeled. in english and mando'a also #the ANATOMY of mando armor.. thats a great word for it #not only this but like also again if your armor is like so fucking important for not only you individually but also just your entire #culture and has been for millennia upon millennia #then surely so much must go into the design of it - in so many different ways #pure functionality. practicality. but also yes aesthetic !!! #mando armorers coming up with different designs and tweaks to ensure its at its highest functioning but also it looks damn good!! #which is why the neck is so annoying to me ITS SUCH A GLARING WEAK POINT #after MILLENNIA of design tweaks for maximizing functionality why is there such a terrible weak point #why is every mando in live action out here rocking a BARE NECK #YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!! #JUST LOOK AT JANGO FETT !!! #or god forbid when fanartists draw like din with his head tilted up and then you see bare skin LIKE BARE SKIN? #HE IS GOING TO GET DECAPITATED . #IS THIS YOUR MAN? #clears throat. sorry. im normal #brot posts #mando posting

I’m kinda glad I spent so much time looking at crop science this term bc turns out it’s unbearable and I couldn’t actually do this like I was considering. Progress!!

#it’s like FINE I can deal with it but long term??? I would fucking diw #crop people are so like. angry too. this is about you Sinclair #idk what it could be abt this topic specifically like. I’m guessing bc it’s high stakes largely expensive science with limited resources. #and goddamn nobody agrees on what you should be doing #there’s also the whole commercialisation thing bc the state of farming is pretty fucking bleak on all fronts #but especially on crop improvement. you patent your thing immediately and hope a seed company buys it up and funds the expensive trials #bc otherwise there’s no way in hell your thing’s even getting made let alone actually being Used in any practical way #this is a group of people who are trying rlly hard to help people in a real tangible way in the face of smth genuinely terrifying #(crop yields haven’t significantly accelerated in decades and soon they won’t be able to keep up) #but the process to Doing Anything Abt It involves not only the typical hell of academia but the combined challenges of #stubborn farmers. uninformed public. late stage capitalism. the whole regulatory mess of GMOs #so it seems like everyone’s at each others throats all the time bc there’s this sense of urgency #bc hey dude we haven’t made much progress since artificial fertilisers but maybe if you FUCKING LISTENED TO ME #:/ #im exaggerating not all of them are like this I’ve read some very nice very cool papers but goddamn some of them are Pissed #in a way I haven’t seen too much so far #as always I’m the annoying idealist what if we did All Of It Anyway #like come on what’s the harm in working C4 rice if we can get it that’d be incredible #we can’t we still figure out loads abt how leaf anatomy works and how C4 photosynthesis works is that not still a win. that shit has uses #ANYWAY THIS HAS BEEN MY CROPS RANT FUCK SINCLAIR ALL THE HOMIES HATE SINCLAIR #im sure he’s done some very important work on water use but the guy is so condescending I didn’t know you could do that in a paper #luke.txt

The "potion-crafter" archetype of alchemist used in fantasy is often, like, an independent chemist that works off commission or sales to create fireball elixirs or exorcism salves. Is there a grain of truth, there? Did alchemists in any period you studied make a living by synthesizing magical items (like panaceas or DIY-chrysopoeia-kits or somesuch) and selling them on to any willing customer, or was that not really in their domain?

Ha! You know sometimes it can be a bit annoying answering asks like this, because most fantasy media isn t terribly interested in authentically representing history, BUT THIS TIME I can give y'all a specific and direct answer!

The archetype of the potion-crafter you're talking about almost definitely has its roots in an actual pre-paracelcian european medical profession; the Apothecary.

There were three types of doctors in the 1500s. There were diagnosticians, the people who went to school to learn about anatomy, and were allowed to call themselves "doctor." There were surgeons, the low-skilled workers who were in charge of hacking off limbs and draining bedpans. And there were apothecaries, basically the medieval equivalent of a pharmacist.

If you were a wealthy merchant, and you went to a doctor for your runny nose, he would look you over, and give you a prescription that you were supposed to take down to your local apothecary, so you could buy a potion from them.

But these prescriptions weren't exactly strict. A doctor might prescribe you an exact list of ingredients with the amounts, or he might just prescribe you "a healing ungent of cooling and drying herbs." So the apothecaries occasionally had some wiggle room based on supplies and expertise.

The important thing to remember, is that apothecaries were NOT considered magicians or alchemists.

That is, until Paracelsus came along.

See, good ol' Paracelsus was a radical innovator. He was one of the first physicians in history to be all three types of doctor at once. He was a diagnostician, a surgeon, and an apothecary. He argued that all doctors should have knowledge of their entire profession, and that no doctor was above suturing their patients wounds, and mixing their patients medicines.

He was also, crucially, an alchemist and a magician.

Alchemy was the cutting edge of technology for the time, a practice regarded with equal parts awe and suspicion, but it was more the realm of glassblowers and metallurgists than doctors or botanists. Paracelsus disagreed. He argued that if it's part of God's creation, it should be used to heal the human body.

This extended to magic. Paracelsus figured that you had to factor in things like "the movement of the planets and their influence on the earth." And he was known for prescribing patients things like "astral talismans to be worn about the neck." A practice that, even for his time, was often seen as backwards and superstitious. (Although given how harmful medieval medicine was, the astral talismans might have been your best option sometimes.)

Paracelsus was a radical. People fucking hated him, especially when he was alive. But his ideas were extremely influential, and exploded in popularity after his death in 1541. I can confidently say that the fantasy archetype of the Potion Brewer is based on Paracelcian physicians, the doctor/alchemist/apothecary/magicians who followed his theories.

Here I'll link my Patreon if y'all wanna support my research! I have a whole section on Paracelsus.
