He’s more of a funeral cake if you ask me! This is Dr. Cakelegs, and he’s not a real doctor.
A silly crossover I thought I’d make for no reason. It made sense in my brain and now we have a Bunger and a Rootle saving their Wee Mewon kid from a Daddy Cakelegs.
I’m. Still. Screaming.

Series 8 of doctor who is legit the most funny shit ever. Like, Clara is treating both a time lord and a solider like you treat the side piece. Missy is out here trying to plan the most elaborate "get your man back scheme" that verges into "planning a threesome". That Time Lord is acting like a jealous 17 year old who's listened to too Much Carrie Underwood and caught her bf making out with a teacher. And Danny just wants to date the pretty English teacher...
Polyamory would have made shit worse and better.

sorry (lie) to defend hate crimes md but. i think a lot of 2020s discourse misses the context within which the show originally operated. and this is NOT to say "well racist jokes were funny back then" cause that is NOT my point. my point is all the stuff that isn't the racist jokes
like, house md started airing one year before supernatural and bones, two other shows i'm deeply familiar with. supernatural is rife with casual homophobia, racism, misogyny, you name it. bones is so deeply entrenched in boot-sucking post-9/11 government that it's almost unwatchable these days. house... isn't very topical. he makes a lot of 80s references, or older. there are maybe two troop episodes? but let's be real we've been in the middle east so long that hardly dates it. and like, what does the show house md have to say beyond house's personal bad actions?
prisoners on death row deserve respect. homeless people deserve the same treatment as anyone else. mental health conditions like schizophrenia (presumed or otherwise) or munchausens don't disqualify people from actually being sick. being fat is sometimes a symptom instead of a cause, and people overlook genuine health concerns in favor of blaming obesity for everything. orthodox jewish beliefs deserve respect, while christian grifting should be mocked. there is significant, murky overlap between chronic pain and opioid addiction and there is no easy middle ground (the show itself muddles this point repeatedly, to be fair). autism is more akin to another language than anything else, and autistic people deserve to be met where they're at. abortion UP UNTIL BIRTH is acceptable, even desirable given circumstances. it is acceptable, even preferable, to repeatedly defraud insurance companies and bureaucracies if it's in the best interest of the patient. eating disorders are dangerous/fatal and should be treated as such
like, i get it. a lot of aspects of this show have not aged well, particularly the main sell of "edgy epic atheist" house, which WAS a very mid-00s type of character. and i'm as guilty as anyone as doing pepe silvia on this show to make it sound epic (like here) but i do genuinely believe i'm not wrong. even if you don't read house/wilson as romantic, and you don't need to, their relationship is so intense that it eclipses either of their various romantic entanglements. wilson went through 3 ex-wives and an ex-fiancee, house gave up on at least 3 significant relationships. house gave up his vicodin, his medical license, his entire life so that wilson didn't have to die alone. how can that not be poignant, even now? how can anyone deny the emotional impact of that? fuck your destiel, fuck your good omens. you didn't earn eight years of THIS
rambling as usual but i'm right. this show can be a really difficult watch at times for cringe reasons but it can also be so unusually astute that it takes the breath away. what other show, especially in 2005, was giving the circle speech from "lines in the sand"? that episode aired the same year as supernatural's racist truck or bones' "troops did friendly fire but iraq was still justified" penultimate ep. can i say house was a GOOD show? idk. but it raised a lot of interesting points and had a lot of against-the-grain compassion that i still find sorely lacking even now, 20 years later

PUBLISHED: 10:37 EDT, 20 October 2023
A professor has been slammed over a scientific journal in which she said trans man should be allowed to take testosterone while pregnant, despite warnings it could trigger severe health issues.
Dr. Carla Pfeffer, who is not a medical doctor, penned a new paper alongside five other academics titled 'Medical uncertainty and reproduction of the 'normal': Decision-making around testosterone therapy in transgender pregnancy.
Pfeffer, who is a sociology professor at Michigan State University, argues that pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that trans men might be fine to take testosterone while pregnant.
The authors , who are sociologists, have since been accused of choosing to disregard the safety of a developing fetus 'in the name of trans inclusion'.
In a scathing response to the paper, two nurses have criticized the article saying if abiding by their take 'would land us in a vacuum devoid of medical ethics'.

The sociology professor and her cohorts have since been slammed by two nurses for disregarding the safety of a fetus 'in the name of trans inclusion'
Authors Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell, who is the Executive Director at The Center for Bioethics and Culture, published a response to the paper titled: 'Is There a Doctor in the House?'
In it, they said: 'The authors argue that 'gendered' pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. 
'This is, quite frankly, insane.'
In the paper, Pfeffer and her fellow colleagues had studied 70 international trans individuals and 22 health care providers who focus on trans people. 
Their paper says: 'We argue that in the context of lacking and uncertain medical evidence (HRT with testosterone during pregnancy and chest feeding) in a highly gendered treatment context (pregnancy and lactation care), both patients and providers tend to pursue precautionary, offspring-focused treatment approaches.'
In response, Lahl and Fell say the findings are flawed as only biologically fertile human females possess the attributes for pregnancy and childbirth. 
The two label this 'a simple biological reality', saying that pregnancy care isn't 'gendered' at all. 
According to the Mayo Clinic, testosterone may cause birth defects if a pregnant woman comes into contact with it. 
Lahl and Fell also added: 'The concerns raised by Pfeffer and colleagues focus on the modern treatment approach physicians take, which they deem excessively 'precautionary' and 'offspring-focused.' 
Tumblr media
Kal Fell, front, and Jennifer Lahl, background, published a response to the paper titled: 'Is There a Doctor in the House?'
'Fortunately, caring for the child and the mother are neither mutually exclusive nor zero-sum. 
'In situations where a woman aspires to become pregnant and commits to motherhood, physicians can provide care that optimizes outcomes for both parties while minimizing potential harm. 
'If a woman chooses to continue a pregnancy, doesn't the developing fetus also have a right to the four principles of medical ethics?'
'In such cases, the physician is duty-bound to care for both the child and the mother.'
One health care provider also told researchers: 'I think if you choose to have a pregnancy and your female hormone levels would be already so high that testosterone probably wouldn't even mentally help.
'If you're producing breast milk and you couldn't be without testosterone for mental health, if you couldn't deal without testosterone, then you probably shouldn't be pregnant.'
In concluding their piece, Lahl and Fell said: 'The authors' suggestion that medical providers should deviate from the principle of 'do no harm' to follow paths where the evidence indicates harm is quite shocking. 
'This perspective, driven more by ideology, emotions, and personal desires than by evidence, conflicts with the foundations of evidence-based medicine.'

Sorry if you’re not the person to ask, but ever since 7th grade I’ve seen and heard stuff like “babies are sucked out with a vacuum and torn limb from limb during an abortion and they feel everything” and that they’re “decapitated and torn to bits” during it and they feel everything and is that true? I feel like a bad person saying even if that’s true the woman/girl should get one if she needs/wants one but some websites say it’s true and some say it’s not and i’m confused 🥲
it is but it's not.. if it is done to a fetus that has developed enough to be described as 'limb from limb' and 'feeling pain', then that is a later term abortion where 90+% of the time, either the fetus is extremely deformed, will not survive gestation, or is already dead (if it is still early second trimester, which starts at 13-14 weeks, then it is possible that the fetus is viable and healthy, but the woman was prevented from getting an abortion earlier....like having extremely strict abortion laws that require one to travel state lines/countries and wait weeks, and have unnecessary ultrasounds, etc.). it is an extreme minority of cases. for example, in new zealand in 2020, 13,246 abortions were performed (almost 1 in 5 known pregnancies were aborted).....of those just 26 were late term abortions (defined as 21 or more weeks). that is essentially 0.2% of all abortions. all abortions at or above 9 weeks made up just 4% of total abortions, the majority of those before the second trimester.
there are two main methods (dependent on the trimester/circumstances). the first is intact induced 'birth', where the woman is induced and passes the (virtually always) dead or dying fetus. this (and the other method, which conservatives kinda mix up with this one) has been spun as 'partial birth abortion' by conservatives, who paint it as women giving birth to living, viable babies, who are then killed by doctors, which is absurd. this is sometimes medically called dilation and extraction or intact dilation and evacuation (depends on the place, some define evacuation as second trimester and extraction as third, but some use the terms as synonyms).
the process that you're talking about is also called dilation and extraction/evacuation in many places, also majority done on severely deformed, dying, and/or unlikely to live to birth fetuses. in this procedure, (correct me if i am wrong, gyns, I'M NOT A DOCTOR, this is my best understanding and simplified explanation of a complicated, individualised procedure), first you are (if the fetus is still alive) typically injected with a medication that stops the fetus' heart (almost always done, at least here, if the fetus is alive and at or past the 'viability' line, which is like 22-24 weeks, so less than a handful of cases in my country even get to this point of having an alive fetus while medically needing a late term abortion), and the doctors keep checking the heart beat until it stops, confirming that the fetus has died (this can also be done during intact D&E, i'm just describing the procedure you're interested in in more detail). once that is done, they then also use induction medications to help your cervix open up and pass the fetus. they may use tools like forceps and vacuum to pull the fetus out, usually crushing the skull, the largest part, and sometimes pulling the body in pieces in order to get it out successfully without causing major trauma to the woman.
this sounds gruesome and unpalatable, but it is a highly studied, highly practiced procedure developed over decades of research and implementation, by doctors who want the best and safest outcome for the woman, as well as the most 'humane' for the fetus, if still alive. the exact procedure, and actions done within it are individual for each woman, who decides it in discussion with her doctors. extensive thought, care, and consideration goes into each procedure when it is this late into gestation.
in the end, worrying about the exact methods of the procedure and what WE deem as 'okay' is not our right, it is doctors and the women themselves that know what's best for the situation. and in fact, loose abortion laws decrease late term abortions. new zealand had an abortion amendment in 2018-2020, making first trimester abortions FAR easier to get, and the proportion of abortions that were performed before 8 weeks of gestation went from 27% to 45%! surgical abortions overall (which in earlier gestation is NOT dilation and evacuation or extraction, it is suction and aspiration of uterine tissue, which includes the tiny embryo) went from 72% of procedures to 59%. and finally, all abortions at or above week 9 went from making up 6% of abortions to 4%.
i hope this gives some comfort. blocking any procedure just hurts women. because individuals have a right to defend their own body regardless of anything else, even fully fledged humans cannot use someone else's body without consent, like taking an organ or blood.
edit: correcting an error or two, largely due to my brain misreading a confusing report lol! 45% of nz abortion are under 8 weeks, 46% were between 8-12 weeks, and 5% being 13-16 weeks. so, 96% of abortions are performed below 14 weeks, not 9 weeks. this still means that 96% of abortions are performed during the first trimester though. and the number of late term abortions (21 weeks and over, which includes mid-late second trimester) was 102, not 26, which adds up to 0.8% of total abortions, not 0.2%. minor in terms of what i was talking about, but i'd hate to spread false statistics!!!

just a heads up the arabic (?) protest graffiti post was made by a radfem and terf, the og post is tagged as radfems and radfems please interact
i feel kinda weird for deleting this post cause it is a very important issue but alright if the op sucks this kinda stuff could be a gateway through their blog for people interested in more stuff like that to harmful ideology trying to pass as feminism, you know. the usual transphobia and racism and more.
i generally don’t really pay attention to people’s urls so i didn’t notice and i’m sure the person i reblogged it from didn’t see it either cause i know they’re reliable and really doesn’t seem like someone who would suddenly turn cryptoterf after we’ve been following and talking to each other for a year. oh well, accidents do happen.
was it you who messaged me earlier ? thanks for giving me a heads up as to what the post is about, cause if it were an unrelated meme i wouldn’t have bothered to delete cause come on it wouldn’t really harm anyone in the long run if was a non-political thing but if it’s post by a terf about feminism then deleting it is a given. and i couldn’t find the op’s username cause apparently i blocked her before.
and yeah, terfs posting about the tragedy of what’s happened and happening to these women in iran and then in turn happily allying with far-right „activists” and politicians cause they hate trans women and want nothing but tragedy to happen to them is a really shitty, hypocritical thing to do. and it’s especially spitting in the faces of queer women in the middle east.

not to get like real life on here, but turns out I have a 6cm cyst in one ovary, and a 3cm cyst in the other. Which, you know, explains some things.
Which I also feel like is a commentary on people who live with chronic pain, the fact that I've had this for so long and just kind of lived with it, and only very recently thought "hey the fact that I'm in agony close to 24/7 is maybe something I should get checked out?"

Wups! Something happened during their arguments and now Doc and Meat are one! Meet Dr. Meatus, a complete definition of ‘jackass’.
Two grumpy minds, arguing together, but still living as one!
Info below the cut:
Male (Both sources are male!)
5’5” (MB: 5’4” / DF: 5’6”)
159.4 lbs (MB: 125.3 lbs / DF: 258.2 lbs)
Energetic and Grumpy (MB: Energetic and Neutral-Happy / DF: Overcharged and Enraged)
Ash red eyes (MB: Red / DF: Hazy grey)
Dark red meat body, with hat and tie (MB: Red, no accessory / DF: Deep black, hat and tie)
Relatively calm being fused, tends to love himself from time to time, but argues with himself too.
Their current plan is to add Bandage Girl to the mix, then Brownie. Then as one, the four will merge their entire realm into one character…

sorry i hope you don't mind but i was wondering what is the attitude about abortions in vietnam? like just in general i was reading smth and was surprised to learn it's actually one of the least restrictive when it comes to abortions + contraceptives
I mean there are people who are against it for sure but they cannot do anything about it abortion is literally not up for debates. I know the christians are against it but this is still a non-denominational country so religions have no sway in political decisions

Reminder that if you're using disabled fetuses as a reason why abortion should exist you're ableist. We don't deserve to live less that abled people.
