okay ich hab jetzt erst um ostern rum (endlich) alle frankfurt folgen schauen können. Und seitdem will ich die einfach alle nochmal schauen. mit fehlt aber immer noch Land in dieser Zeit und mein Gehirn lässt mich nicht von vorne anfangen, bis ich nicht alle folgen einmal geschaut habe. es ist anstrengend.

ABER: es gibt diese Wunderschöne 6-Wochen-Programmvorschau vom ARD und vorletzte Woche sagten sie am 17.6. zeigt der HR Kälter als der Tod. und ich war so: uuuhhhhhhhhh zeigt ihr mir alle Folgen nochmal bevor die nächste (und letzte 😭) Folge kommt? ich liebe es sehr.

und ich war so ajagföhgj damit kann ich nämlich mein Gehirn überlisten und den rewatch anfangen. Der sich auch gerade perfekt in meinen Rostock/Magdeburg rewatch einreiht, da bin ich grad auch bei 2015 angekommen. Und bis ich bei Land in dieser Zeit angekommen bin, wäre die schon gezeigt worden.

UND wenn sie ab dem 17.6. jeden Montag eine Folge zeigen, dann kommt am 14.10. Kontrollverlust was bedeutet dass ab dem 20.10. die neue Folgen laufen kann was für mich super ist, weil ich am 19.10. ausm Urlaub wieder komme.

letzte Woche stand dann aber leider für den 24.6. eine Sänger und Dellwo Folge drin. und ich war so unglaublich traurig deswegen das war echt nich schön. und dann dachte ich hmm vllt zeigen sie es nur alle 2 Wochen. Aber dann wären sie bis Februar damit beschäftigt was auch nicht klappt.

aber heute steht für den 1.7. Die Geschichte vom bösen Friederich drin. was mir wieder hoffnung gibt. auch wenn ich nicht verstehe wieso sie Hinter dem Spiegel nicht zeigen. Eigentlich müsste ich jetzt bis nächsten Montag warten um zu gucken ob dann am 8.7. Wendehammer kommt. aber ich hab beschlossen ich bin jetzt guter Dinge und es is mir egal. ich schaff eh nicht eine Folge pro Woche in dem rewatch.

anyway was ich damit sagen will: Tatort Frankfurt rewatch wird kommen, meine Anna Janneke Obsession wird weitergehen und es tut mir nicht leid, und ich habe Gedanken zu teilen und wenn ihr genevert seid dann dürft ihr 'Anjas Frankfurt rewatch' blacklisten oder blockieren oder so. oder direkt mich xD

You have 1 week, good luck!

A lot of work needed to be done today.

"A surprise discovery from the University of Birmingham shows that we may be significantly underestimating the potential of trees to regulate the variables of climate change.

That’s because they found microbes living inside trees’ bark absorb the greenhouse gas methane about as significantly as microbes living in the soil.

It’s long been thought that soil is the only effective terrestrial methane sink, as certain microorganisms use methane as a food source, but similar creatures live under a tree’s layer of bark, meaning that not only do our woody cousins withdraw CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in their roots, but also remove methane as well, about as effectively or perhaps more so than soil.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas for the few short years it exists in the atmosphere before degrading.

Professor Vincent Gauci of U. Birmingham led the study, published in the journal Nature.

In the study, the researchers investigated upland tropical, temperate, and boreal forest trees. Specifically, they took measurements spanning tropical forests in the Amazon and Panama; temperate broadleaf trees in the UK; and boreal coniferous forests in Sweden.

The methane absorption was strongest in the tropical forests, probably because microbes thrive in the warm wet conditions found there. On average the newly discovered methane absorption adds around 10% to the climate benefit that temperate and tropical trees provide.

By studying methane exchange between the atmosphere and the tree bark at multiple heights, the researchers were able to show that while at soil level the trees were likely to emit a small amount of methane, from a couple of meters up the direction of exchange switches and methane from the atmosphere is consumed.

In addition, the team used laser scanning methods to quantify the overall global forest tree bark surface area, with preliminary calculations indicating that the total global contribution of trees is between 24.6-49.9 Tg (millions of tonnes) of methane. This fills a big gap in understanding the global sources and sinks of methane.

“Tree woody surfaces add a third dimension to the way life on Earth interacts with the atmosphere, and this third dimension is teeming with life, and with surprises,” said co-author Yadvinder Malhi of the University of Oxford."

I'm generally not a fan of quantifying oppression or looking at it as a scoreboard, but I frequently hear the claim that if you read the data, it will show that trans women are indisputably the most oppressed of all trans people, and isn't comparable to the level of oppression trans men face. And I looked at some data, from the UK's National LGBT Survey (I was referring to it for some data on transheterosexuality so I had it on hand).

The survey included 3,740 trans women and 3,170 trans men.

Being LGBT in the UK:

Average comfort level being LGBT on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most satisfied: 3.10 for trans women, 3.15 for trans men

Average life satisfaction on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most satisfied: 5.07 for trans men, 5.52 for trans women

The data from this survey indicates that similar proportions of trans men and trans women tended to struggle in their overall experiences living as a trans person.

TLDR: According to the data from this survey, the areas in which trans women tended to face more struggles than trans men were in openness about gender identity, transphobia from people they don't live with, and being trans in educational institutions. The areas in which trans men tended to face more struggles than trans women were in transphobia from people they did live with, public healthcare services, mental healthcare services, and sexual healthcare services. Trans men and trans women struggled similarly with being trans in the workplace, and with their overall experience being trans in the UK, with trans women facing slightly more struggles in the workplace.

Obviously, this is only one survey, and doesn't represent all trans people as it was conducted only in the UK. It's possible that another survey might show trans women struggling more in healthcare, or trans men struggling more in schools.

But I would say this is strong evidence that trans women are not necessarily the most oppressed of all trans people by far in all areas of life. Trans men and trans women both face severe oppression, in some similar and some unique ways, and it helps no one to minimize the suffering of either.

Reading Comprehension Questions:

Did OP say that trans men are more oppressed than trans women? (Hint: No)

Did OP say that trans women oppress trans men? (Hint: Also no)

Did OP say that transmisogyny isn't a real issue, or that trans women shouldn't be allowed to talk about transmisogyny? (Hint: No again)

Did OP say that trans men's oppression is more important than trans women's and deserves to be talked about more? (Hint: Still no)

Did OP say that any issues are exclusive to trans men or trans women and that we have no overlap in our struggles? (Hint: You guessed it- no!)

You used the letter a 114 times!!

And 223 letters, so the letter a is about 51.1%

The letter a is on average used about 8.2% of the time, which means you used it 6 times the average and as more than half of the letters!!!! :D

Also you don't have to worry, it's actually quite a lot easier than you'd think :)

I used the letter a 7 times!!

And 61 letters, so the letter a is about 11.5%

The letter a is on average used about 8.2% of the time, which means I used it more than average!! :)
