#and we we're on good terms too

[theetwinkleboy]

absolutely and wholeheartedly believe that bakugou is one of those metal drummers who adds in completely unnecessary metal math breakdowns at every opportunity

#he doesn't necessarily think about it in so many terms but he is one of those guys that's like yeah lets do a quick alternating bar of 2/8 #and then 5/8 and then 5/16 and then 3/16 and then jirou is like STOP this is CLUB MUSIC we need FOUR ON THE FLOOR #not freakin metal math #and bakugou's like FUCK YOU I'M GONNA MELT THEIR FACES OFF #and jirou's like look. look. i too enjoy a good mosh pit. but that's not what we're going for here #fumikage tokoyami #bakugou katsuki #jirou kyouka #kaminari denki #tokoyami fumikage #yaoyorozu momo #i love this band i love them i'm obsessed with their dynamic #1a band #tt reads bnha

so glad we all held out during the wga/sag strikes bc they got all their terms fully delivered and no other departments are seeing probably the biggest layoffs in the industry right now! yay!

#their reps now saying theyre fully in support of the iatse/etc negotiations coming up later this year is so funny too like #thanks. as if iatse did jackshit last time either 👍 #obviously i am still in support of the strikes its just like. so many people lost more than their livelihoods over it #and now we're facing the same and its so beyond fucked i feel like vfx and gaming are imploding right now #and sag/wga didnt even get all their terms met right? for what? #and sorry but taking a stance against enduring studio bs is all well and good but like #that statement about 'oh studios thought theyd bled us dry and we dont have the money to keep striking but we do' #who is WE exactly? bc so many writers have gone broke over this? where are their strike funds?

i am desperately trying to be more active but i'm experiencing mental burnout. just want to say thank you for the interactions even when i'm only checking in here now and again - i'll respond when i'm feeling better! <3

#nothing really happened - work and the house just got on top of me. #for context i was promoted to a management position in october and i hit my stride so i have a lot of responsibilities and i'm hhh. #having to play catch up in terms of skillset. i'm good at my job but i'm not the best - therefore ? i must keep pushing :y #as for home... Man (horse.jpg) #we bought a house a year ago. i envy people who renovate days after moving in. we're a year in and i'm only just redoing the kitchen floor #after a leak that happened in JUNE 2022. it's expensive as fuck and takes so much time. #i'm so fortunate to be able to afford a house but like. i won't lie. it's really hard having to be responsible for everything that goes #wrong with it. my kitchen has been subfloor for months. we destroyed our kitchen island trying to make room for the floor to be done #so we're down storage and stuff is just piling up. eh i know this is like. first world problem and really not a big deal. #but when your house is in disrepair because you don't have the money to fix it quickly or time to do it yourself. shit's hard. #anyway this is a rant. don't want a wrench or a tissue- just wanna get it out. #[puts on pantalone hat] i have money anxiety too #like i earn the most i've ever earned. i won't really get much higher than this atm. i'm due a bonus and i can cash out my shares #but fixing up the house is so expensive. i'm worried i'm gonna lose it all somehow. idfk why. when things are going well i worry i'm gonna #lose it all somehow. growing up poor does a number on your resource guarding. if i spend a penny I Will Lose It All. #' dima why do you like pantalone so much ' HE JUST LIKE ME FRRRR #sry this is a ramble . i treat tumblr tags like my diary but i hope you enjoyed the read xoxox #anyways! point is! i'm alive! i'm itching to come back but i dont have the mental space for fun rn. #can't have fun until i feel safe enough to have fun if that makes sense. #aight byeee

managed to nap for a few hours and wake up at around the time we'd actually normally wake up if we went to bed at the right time which is great but also god it's nice to wake up at the right time and realise it's still light and sunny outside

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #happy posting #we keep getting that thing of like ''oh it feels like this time last year'' #but this year up to now feels way longer. like I'm guessing because we've been trying to do different stuff and vary the things we do #it's probably made it feel like time's going slower so it feels like it's been longer? maybe? #which is interesting and also exactly what I was hoping for because I hate the feeling of the months passing by so quickly #also we started putting together a little cleaning schedule and preparing for the summer SAD symptoms we get #because apparently late March/early April is when we suddenly go ''I can get my shit together now'' #but also planning for summer in advance last year seemed to help and we're trying to use what we learnt from that to help this year too #it's kind of fun learning what makes us feel good both in terms of what's fun and what improves our mental health in the long run

I am gripping you by the shoulders and begging you to listen when I tell you teens want to be outside so bad. We want to be outside so fucking bad you have no idea

#ramblings of a lunatic #WE DON'T LIKE STAYING INDOORS ON SCREENS ALL DAY EVERYDAY ITS NOT FUN IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD #yes there are exceptions and yes we like to do it more than previous generations but by god if it doesn't take a toll on your mental health #AND WE KNOW THIS BTW. WE'RE COMPLETELY FUCKING AWARE OF THIS FACY #*fact #but it's like. there's such a lack of options sometimes #like for example- i live in a pretty small town. walkable but not without some effort #there's no shopping centre (mall for americans) and maybe 3 parks (one of which is up a hill on the far side of town) #there are community centers but they're underfunded and don't cater to teens- especially not as casual hangout spaces #so like. unless you corall all your friends into one persons house (me and my friends generally go out in a group of 8-10 ppl- #-so while going to one persons house is doable it's not the most convenient and again this a small town. lots of the houses are small too) #or are willing to hangout at a park (a place where there's generally going to be young children and their parents- #-which isn't a deal-breaker by any means but can make kids feel like intrusions or even be perceived as sketchy) #(this is generally what me and my friends have to come to terms with everytime we hangout since we usually do it in the park) #then like. where the hell do you go?? yknow?????? #also plenty of my friends live in rural areas where it's a 20 or 30 minute drive into town and only one of us has his license #all this to say #I'd really love to see some statistics on what the hangout habits of kids from different living areas is like #because i have a feeling that kids who grow up in big relatively walkable cities with public transit and nice hangout spots #are getting out of the house a lot more often than a bunch of lower and middle class teens scattered across rural country spaces- #-and a town with little to no space for them to just exist without doing some kind of activity to justify their presence #this isn't even touching on helicopter parenting that prevents kids from being independent #anyway yeah i wish i was not on my phone so much i enjoy life better when I'm not on it but. god does not love me so <3

#this is 4 mutuals basically hence in tags but like #ik i am poking the hornets nest re 'bi lesbian' but honestly like #i say that #i'm attached to both words and the y both describe me accurately but each in different ways #and i don't know how anybody could be a system and have one singular uncomplicated queer identity #like i am more than 1 person they don't all line up / match #i have never met a multiplicity wherein everyone matches / agrees on an identity #i'm not trying to presume on the identity of maia arson crimew #i don't know it in any capacity beyond being aware of the leak #but the discourse being stirred up is absolutely batshit & like i have no idea how to navigate it #nobody has ever given me grief irl bc if we're talking about it then we're having the whole conversation and if we aren't i say 'queer' or #'lesbian' or more rarely 'bi' and just move on #but online i feel fucking hounded #fundamentally i don't understand why using both is threatening beyond terf reasons #like u can't tell me as a nonbinary person that any arrangement thereof necessarily makes more sense than another for me #lesbian localizes me too firmly as a woman #nonbinary lesbian is good and accurately describes the relationships i'm in and choose to have but doesn't cover the breadth of like #my attraction b/c i am also attracted to nonbinary ppl who aren't comfortable being localized as a woman by a term like lesbian #and it's not like i don't find men attractive i've just never been able to sustain a healthy relationship with a man b/c of the way i have #to navigate by virtue of being me and having The Genders #they taught me queerness in the first place and it's home to me #and irl they've never turned me out for having an unparsable gender that's not actually uncommon at all #& i can't separate that shit out from my disability anyway what's that quote i dont' have a gender i have a wheelchair #and it's like. i have such sympathy and respect and solidarity for just deciding to do the thing nobody likes bc it's teh best one for u #once we accept that gender as a concept is fundamentally broken maybe we can like forgive each other for picking up the pieces #in a way that makes it survivable for each of us #i am thinking specifically of a good friend of mine who does not use the word queer but who has never made me feel like #i'm unwelcome or bad for being queer myself. we stand in community and we respect each other #i personally feel that way about it/its pronouns but i also understand that the discomfort ihold in using those pronouns for folks is 1) #entirely my issue to deal with and 2) part of the fucking point actually

i love to brag about my dad

#he's so smart #like the other day a friend was asking how i manage to revise all 4 subjects in one day after 7 hrs of academy ( 6 + 1 for commuting ) #and do the hw as well #and i said i revise before bed or as soon as i wake up next day or while having lunch or watching tv #as for hw my dad helps me w questions i cant do ( in phy + chem ) so it helps me understand the concepts + do my hw #and she was like :0 'ur dad's a professor?' like no bff he's not #he's just smart. he has degree in phy + math and can solve physical chem if i tell him the formulas #basically he can solve any problem if i tell him the formula #and tell him what do the variables denote #the same is w my brother ig it runs in the family #like i can't stress how imp my dad is to me #the only reason why i didnt need tuition till 11th grade is bc he helped me w studies #one of the reasons why my calc arithmetic algebra and geometry is really strong #trig too till some extent but i hate it so i dont focus on it #and physics. my kinematics + thermodynamics + mechanics #like i dont imagine myself being where i am without him #ofc my mom helped me a lot too #but nothing compares to what he did #sorry for this rant i wanted to tell this to him but idk how to #we're on super good terms but we dont compliment each other 🤡 no one in the family does it's like 'hm that's good. next' #KSJFJHSF ITS NOT WEIRD I SWEAR idk how to phrase it . it's actually normal

I mentioned to the boys today that I was gonna hop off and probably be gone the rest of the evening cause I was gonna call my friend and our conversations usually hit like 4 or 5 hours and that she'd told me she missed me and they were all ohhh that's sweet and I was like but wait! it gets even better! we've been friends since age 6 and they were all like WHATTTT THATS CRAZY THATS AMAZING IM SO JEALOUS and like you know fuckin what they're so right that is amazing we're such gigachads for staying best friends for 22 years and I'm literally so lucky it's insane!!

#i always say like the thing we have is almost more of a sibling relationship #we've never had a real fight we've never worried about growing apart shes just always right there #and i wanna hurl sometimes from how stupid lucky i feel! #like just in general as well as shit as everything else can get im currently the wealthiest ive ever been in terms of homies #and like ROCK SOLID ones too ive genuinely never had this many good friends #i just selected some random binch off the playground to pretend to be horses with and now we're sisters!!

I forget why, but I was on the Wikipedia page for polycystic ovarian syndrome, and I started researching hirsutism in women, and I learned the following things in this order:

there's a diagnostic criteria used to evaluate how hairy a woman is

This is important because being too hairy is a diagnostic criteria of most disorders that cause hyperandrogenism

Disorders that cause hyperandrogenism can be diagnosed by...measuring how hairy you are (this is the main and most important diagnostic criterion for PCOS)

Disorders that cause hyperandrogenism are important because they are correlated with obesity, infertility, and...being too hairy?

I think to myself, wait, what is a normal range for testosterone in women? I find this article...which set reference ranges for "normal" testosterone levels in women...EXCLUDING WOMEN WITH PCOS?

Quote: "Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is another notable condition in genetic (XX) females, which is characterized by excessive ovarian production of androgens. This condition is included for comparison with DSD, as the affected females with PCOS are genetic and phenotypic females. The elevated levels of testosterone in these females can lead to hyperandrogenism, a clinical disorder characterized variably by hirsutism, acne, male-pattern balding, metabolic disturbances, impaired ovulation and infertility. PCOS is a common condition, affecting 7%-10% of premenopausal women."

So: the study claims to demonstrate a clear distinction between the normal range of hormone levels in "Healthy" men and "healthy" women...with "healthy" being defined in the study as...having hormones within the "normal" range.......................

So I researched what the clinically established "normal" range for testosterone in women is

THERE ISN'T ONE????

Quote from the above article: "Several different approaches have been used to define endocrine disorders. The statistical approach establishes the lower and the upper limits of hormone concentrations solely on the basis of the statistical distribution of hormone levels in a healthy reference population. As an illustration, hypo- and hypercalcemia have been defined on the basis of the statistical distribution of serum calcium concentrations. Using this approach, androgen deficiency could be defined as the occurrence of serum testosterone levels that are below the 97.5th percentile of testosterone levels in healthy population of young men. A second approach is to use a threshold hormone concentration below or above which there is high risk of developing adverse health outcomes. This approach has been used to define osteoporosis and hypercholesterolemia. However, we do not know with certainty the thresholds of testosterone levels which are associated with adverse health outcomes."

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

It's batshit crazy to make a diagnostic criteria for medical disorders by placing arbitrary cutoffs within 2-5% of either end of a statistical distribution. What the actual fuck?

"The results came back, you have Statistical Outlier Disease." "What treatments are available?" "Well, first, we recommend dietary change. You should probably stop eating so many spiders."

Another article which attempted to do this

Quote: "Subjects with signs of hirsutism or with a personal history of diabetes or hypertension, or a family history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) were excluded."

"We're going to figure out the typical range of testosterone levels that occur in women! First, we're going to exclude all the women that are too hairy from the study. I am very good at science."

Anyway I got off topic but there are apparently race-specific diagnostic tools for "hirsutism." That's kinda weird on its own but when I looked more into this in relation to race I found this article that straight-up uses the term "mongoloid"
