Normal questions for phallo (my personal experience, and facts)

"Do you feel anything?" - yes, I feel everything from touch, stroking, temperature, pain, pressure, pleasure, gusts of cold air. They do disconnect and reconnect nerves, so it does take time (years) depending on how you heal to have complete sensation. But you always have sensation there even beforr you are fully healed. I found the Urethral Lengthening Procedure and the Implants (erectile device and prothetic testicle). It took probably 3 years after all of the procedures for me to have what is called "complete tactile function".

"How do you get erect?" - it's a pump, after they create the scrotum (they use the labia for this), you get your pump installed into your main hand side (ex. My pump is on the right testie), and the other testie is just an implant. I squeeze my pump (or my partner), and then saline water is pumped from the testicle into two tubes (one on each side on my penis). Creating a natural looking erection besides having to pump. It only takes about six pumps for me. Doesn't take much effort. I have a three part inflatable device.

"How do you "deflate"/ go down after an erection" -on the testie that is the pump, there is a small button above it, it is actually kind of a small box with a button on it. I hold the button for about 15 seconds and just let my erection naturally go down.

"How many surgeries does it take?" - well, I guess four in total. You have your hysterectomy (which included for me a complete oophorectomy as well, recent advancements in this procedure have made it so an oophorectomy is now optional), then your phalloplasty the building and attaching of the phallis and vaginectomy only at this part. The next surgery was to connect my urethral, called urethra lengthening. The last surgery was to install the penile pump and testicular implant.

"What are the chances it will fall off?" - less than 1% in the hands of a skilled surgeon. (My surgeon told me this information as the source) - note post operative care is the most important part of healing properly.

"Where did they take the skin?" - they took the skin for my phallis from my forearm and used a thin layer of the skin on my upper thigh to cover the tissue left exposed on my arm.

"Do you have any issues today?" - No issues, I've been finished for quite a bit now. I enjoy sex, it feels good. It looks good. I've never been clocked even naked in a locker room. I do dribble sometimes if I hurry while urinating, and I have to use a special technique to ensure 100% emptiness, but I can pee just fine. I found the installation of the pump helps me urinate easier than without.

"Can you ejaculate?" - Yup! I can, at least. I also have pre-ejaculate. I ejaculate almost everytime I orgasm. (With this said, the ability to ejaculate, amount of, and frequency of are all variable factors that can depend on person to person)

"Is the orgasm different?" -yes! It feels better to me. It could be comfort, but ejaculating does feel good when you orgasm. Ejaculating can vary from person to person. This ejacuate is not like cis men's, it is a clear fluid from the Skenes Glands.

"Did you have any major issues?" - not really, I did have to see a wound clinic for my implant surgery. I had wounds that needed care. I got a bladder infection with the catheter during the healing stage of urethral lengthening and had it removed after just over two weeks (it was supposed to be in for six weeks), as a reference though one of my urine bags broke and I had a plastic baggie to try to repair it until I could get a replacement (i had to wait hours), I also have a compromised immune system. For my arm, I wore my compression sleeve 100% of the time, and my arm healed extremely well and flat. You just need to listen to the rules and be sure not to break them.

"Do you have to do anything (e.g weekly)?" - sorta, I have to make sure I pump fully once a week.

"Any issues urinating?" - nope, takes some getting used to, though (standing). I find that I dribble, but it's only when I'm rushing when I shake. I still sit most of the time, it's even very common in cis men as an FYI. (I asked a large group of cismen)

"Does it look real?" -Yes, my wife said she never would have known I was trans until I told her. All penises look different. Even getting an erection looks natural.

"Did you have any corrective surgeries?" -No, I got pretty great results the first time. I do plan on going to closer, regular plastic surgeon to put in a larger implant as my left testicle (non-pumping side).

Have any of your own questions? Send me an ask, I'll be happy to answer!

Stay Golden Everyone ✌️💙💜

URGENT: PLEASE LISTEN

Earlier this evening, I took this clip in a Christian church of a person explaining their outlook and belief about the Israeli-Palestine conflict, going undercover and playing dumb to get them talking. I feel sick to my stomach after what I heard.

I want this video to sink in: There are real people out there, real humans who think and believe wholeheartedly that this is the truth.

Amongst all of the bullshit they explained in this clip, they treat Palestine like a hate group.

Let that sink in.

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not stop talking about the children whose lives were lost in Rafah. Keep uplifting their voices and stories, lest misinformation like this become eerily normalized.

I would also like to add that this post is not meant to generalize Christians, I understand not everyone is the same. This is solely to inform and educate

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸

Kulay kahel na dumadapo sa aking mukha, masarap pagmasdan ang tanawin sa cloud 9, Antipolo. Nakakawala ng pagod.

Kasama ko ang aking mga kaibigan pumunta sa Antipolo, bago kami pumunta roon ay nagdadalawang isip pa kami dahil ito rin ay may kalayuan sa aming lugar. Ang Antipolo ay isang lungsod sa silangan ng Maynila dito sa Pilipinas at ito rin ay kilala bilang isang Catholic Pilgrimage site.

Sa huli ay napag desisyunan naming pumunta roon dahil minsan lamang namin ito mararanasan at gusto rin namin magtanggal ng pagod.

Ang pagpunta roon ay sadyang mahirap kung ikaw ay walang sariling sasakyan kaya naman kaming magkakaibigan ay namasahe papunta roon.

Ang una naming sinakyan ay jeep na papuntang Cubao, MRT. Kasunod naman ay sa station 2 kami pumunta ng MRT. Pagkatapos ay nakarating na kami sa Antipolo, sa babaan ay may Mall at mga jeep, tricycle at mini bus. Kung saan mo gustong pumunta sa iba't ibang parte ng Antipolo ay pwede kang sumakay sa mga ito.

Napag desisyunan namin na sumakay na lamang sa mini bus dahil mas mura ito kesa sa dalawang sasakyan na aking nabanggit.

Maraming kapehan, talon, museo at restaurant sa iba't ibang parte ng Antipolo, hindi nga lamang namin ito nasubukan lahat dahil hindi sapat ang aming badyet. Dalawang oras muna bago kami makarating dito.

Pumunta kami sa overlooking o Cloud 9 na sinasabi nila at ito rin ay may entrance fee kung sakali mang gusto mong umakyat o maranasan ang tinatawag nilang overlooking. Pagka akyat namin doon ay malamig ang hangin at talaga namang nakaka-relax ang tanawin doon. Marami ring dayuhan at mga Pilipino na namamasyal dito.

Masaya ang aking naranasan sa pagpunta sa Antipolo dahil kasama ko ang aking mga kaibigan. Puno ng saya, tawanan at kwentuhan ang aming pagsasama sa Antipolo. Talaga namang babalik-balikan ang Antipolo hindi lamang sa mga tanawin kundi sa mga tao rito, dahil sila ay pala kaibigan at masayahin.

Choose STEM: The Strand that Holds the Future

STEM, or Science, Technology, and Engineering Mathematics, is a program taken by secondary students before going to college. This educational program aims to produce students who are academically competent in terms of logical thinking and equip them with skills as preparation for careers, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Lutkevitch, 2022). In the Philippines, the STEM strand is offered in senior high school before going to college, which gives students advantages in pursuing courses in the fields of medicine and engineering.

The STEM strand offers different subject areas, which include the core subjects, contextualized subjects, and specialized subjects, for two semesters in each school year. These subjects include oral communication, earth science, empowerment technologies, research, pre-calculus and basic calculus, and many more (Department of Education, n.d.). With STEM, students will be able to learn and grasp ideas and lessons that are also taken up in college courses. They will also have advanced knowledge in terms of complex scientific problems and the future of modern technology (AMA Online Senior High School, 2023).

STEM is essential for the economic development of every country. Thus, it is recognized and implemented by the government, like in the Philippines (StrandPh, 2023). Most universities also prefer STEM graduates as they are more inclined toward real-life application of ideas, have collaboration skills, and can easily adapt to changing work conditions. And in terms of career opportunities, taking the STEM program in SHS opens a wide range of white collar jobs, which include being a biologist, engineer, architect, nutritionist, computer programmer, and many more (AMA Online Senior High School, 2023). And also, pursuing STEM-related courses leads to higher-paying jobs as our world is mainly focused on the development of technologies and maintaining global stability (Lutkevitch, 2022).

In general, STEM is one of the important SHS tracks that are offered by many schools in the Philippines, as this program aims to develop and enhance the skills of many students before going to college. And along with the development and emerging economy, there is an increase in demand for STEM professionals to cater to and lead these changes for everyone. Thus, the government is implementing and promoting STEM education in every school. Moreover, having an interest in pursuing a STEM-related career is a great option to consider, as the STEM strand will allow you to build a strong foundation in many fields and have the chance to explore many career paths.

Choosing the STEM strand in senior high school is not only about aiming to develop your logical and analytical thinking and aiming for high-paying jobs; you will be part of the development of our changing world.

[daily-french-words]

Daily French words!

Intro:

Hi! I'm a French college student, and I study English literature and civilisation. I'm starting this page because I have a shit ton of extra French vocabulary to learn for exams, and it's a lot more fun to learn them through a tumblr page rather than just reading a piece of paper for hours!!!! All credits for the ideas for the first 160 main posts of this page goes to both of my French teachers this year, they're the ones who gathered up the lists- I obviously can't name them because I'd rather not dox myself (or them), but thanks!

Form :

(French word) : (French definition)

(example of the word's use in a French sentence)

(how common the word is out of ten, 1 being so uncommon people will look at you weird if you use it and 10 being common knowledge people will go "duh" at. please note this section will be the most subjective of the bunch and is purely based off my impression- the factors, such as social circle, time and place make it too difficult to have a more objective knowledge of how common said word is.)

(a possible translation in English) : (a definition in English because I like definitions)

(extra notes and precisions for context use, potential irregularities if it's a verb, other possible definitions, similarities, faux amis (see frequently used terms lower) or etymology because I'm a nerd)

Schedule :

Each week, ten words will come out : one each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and two each Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday!

Posts will be uploaded around midday CEST, so between 11am and 2pm, depending how I schedule them/at what time I eat.

Extra requested words can be uploaded anytime from 6am CEST to 2am CEST (the next day).

Every main daily post will be gathered under the "main" tag, extras will be gathered under the "extras" tag, and other random posts I may feel free to upload about the most random college life shit ever (even if probably really rare) will be gathered under the "baguette" tag.

Things to note :

These words are not common! This is vocab improvement. If you're looking for basic knowledge of French vocab or common phrases, you may have to look elsewhere.

I sadly only speak two languages, English and French, so this blog is only accessible to people speaking one or both of these. If you'd like to translate it to other languages (especially since the additional notes are all in English, and a lot of notes and translations vary), feel free to do so but please DM me about it before starting the blog, and of course credit me!

If you'd like to request a word, do so through the page's asks! That's mostly useful if you'd like extra context on the word, its etymology or its history, or if you feel like it could be a cool word to be featured on this page. Of course, these extra words may take time to appear and will be scattered quite a lot through time since they require extra time and research, and I may refuse some of them if I don't think they'd be a good fit on here. Requests made through DMs will not be taken into account. Please only make requests through the ask feature, and wait until the asks open again if they're closed while I sort through them.

At the moment, I have 160 words, so enough content for four months (see schedule above to see how I count them). I cannot guarantee this page will update with the same schedule or update at all once I run out, depending on whether I still like doing it by then or prefer to stop. If it does stop updating though, I will leave all the posts up because knowledge is knowledge, and I may pick it up once in a while if I ever get bored and want to have fun with it again or if the asks supply me enough to sustain the page.

Frequently used terms (that you probably know already but I want to make sure everything is clear):

n. : nom/noun

nf. : nom féminin/feminine noun

nm. : nom masculin/masculine noun

nn. : nom neutre/neutral noun (we probably won't encounter any, but just in case, I'm putting this here!)

v. : verbe/verb

adj. : adjectif/adjective

sy. : synonyme/synonym

ant. : antonyme/antonym

litt./lit. : littéralement/literally

faux ami : expression that refers to a word that resembles another one in the same or a different language but that differs largely in sense.

About sources:

For most definitions and translations, I use the online Larousse dictionary (https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/), the Wikitionnaire (https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/) and WordReference (https://www.wordreference.com/).

For etymology and word history, I use a mix between the Wikitionnaire and the Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicale (CNRTL)'s website (https://www.cnrtl.fr), along with paper versions of etymology dictionaries.

Crowdsourcing: not a new concept

what is crowdsourcing?

By using the Internet, social media, and smartphone apps, a huge number of individuals can contribute their work, information, or opinions through a process known as crowdsourcing.

While some crowdsourcing participants carry out menial jobs willingly, others work as paid freelancers. For instance, in order to give app users access to up-to-date, real-time information, traffic applications such as Waze incentivize drivers to self-report accidents and other traffic occurrences. (Hargrave, 2022) Crowdsourcing is a collaborative approach that involves sourcing information, ideas, or services from a wide and diverse group of individuals, known as the "crowd." This decentralized method relies on the collective intelligence and varied expertise of contributors, often facilitated through online platforms. Crowdsourcing is characterized by an open call for participation, inviting individuals to provide solutions, ideas, or content to address specific challenges or tasks.

Crowdsourcing in crisis

Amid the global, ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, among the tireless work of health care workers, policy makers, and government officials across various nations, there is another player with “skin in the game” if you will—crowdsourcing projects. Crowdsourcing is a model whereby individuals or organizations obtain goods and services, including ideas, from a large, relatively open community of digital media, Internet users, and an entire array of diverse stakeholders sharing a common interest from a range of perspectives and experiences.1 Although crowdsourcing originated long before the advent of digital age, in the current era of social media and other digital outlets, crowdsourcing has become a fairly commonplace solution. (Desai, 2020) Crowdsourcing in health and medical mostly started in the bioinformatics and technology fields about 2010. Its broad usefulness in disaster crisis management has, however, mostly gone unutilized. We address the ongoing and present uses of crowdsourcing in the COVID-19 era from this point of view. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has infected > 5 million people worldwide and caused > 330,000 deaths at the time of this writing, is no less than a disaster crisis, albeit biological. A disaster life cycle consists of the steps taken in planning for and responding to a particular disaster (Fig 1). This disaster cycle is used throughout the emergency management community, from the local to the national and international levels. We saw similar disaster mitigation (social distancing), preparedness (quarantine restrictions), response (masking), and recovery efforts during the 1918-1920 seasonal H1N1 flu pandemic. (Kuderer, 2020)

Community for creatives

Crowdsourcing funding for projects, businesses, and causes is expected to grow to be a $300 billion industry in the near future, according to estimations made by the crowdfunding trends blog Fundly. In 2017, Stanford University student Nicholas Benavides, the creator of the Blue Ocean Entrepreneurship Competition for Students, conducted an analysis of over 2,000 Kickstarter project data to identify the elements of a successful crowdfunding campaign. Benavides surveying the terms used in a campaign's title and blurb using the Kaggle Kickstarter dataset developed a model that could predict a campaign's success with 75% accuracy. (Sickler, 2020) Among his major findings was that the most common words–game, new, design, world–appeared equally in both funded and unfunded campaigns. The major point of differentiation was not in word choice but between those categories inherently more social in nature, such as Comics, Dance, Music, Theater and Design, and solo practices like Craft and Journalism. Social categories were simply a more natural fit for the success criteria of crowdfunding.

Role of crowdsourcing in Web3

Crowdsourcing in Web3 refers to the decentralised process of obtaining goods or services from a large, undefined group of people via the internet, rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. The role of crowdsourcing in Web3 is to empower individuals and communities to collaborate and contribute their skills, knowledge, and resources to create and maintain decentralised applications and services that are more equitable, transparent, and secure. This can lead to increased innovation, collaboration, and democratisation in the development and deployment of new technologies, as well as in the creation of new forms of governance and value exchange. (Reffell, 2023)

Crowdsourcing in Web3 examples:-

DAOs: Decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) are organisations that are run through rules encoded as computer programs on a blockchain network. DAOs are governed by their members, who vote on proposals and make decisions collectively. Examples of DAOs include MakerDAO and Aragon.

Prediction Markets: Prediction markets are decentralised platforms that allow users to make predictions on the outcome of events and earn rewards for accurate predictions. Examples of prediction markets include Augur and Gnosis

Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs): Decentralised exchanges are platforms for trading cryptocurrencies and tokens without the need for a central authority or intermediaries. Examples of DEXs include Uniswap and Curve.

Decentralised Identity Systems: Decentralised identity systems are platforms that allow users to control and manage their personal information and data, rather than relying on central authorities or intermediaries. Examples of decentralised identity systems include Sovrin and uPort.

In conclusion, by utilising the combined knowledge of many participants, crowdsourcing has the potential to revolutionise creativity and problem-solving. Its capacity to combine a variety of viewpoints and abilities not only encourages innovation but also offers an economical way to address difficult problems. Its attractiveness stems from the speed at which solutions are generated and the active participation of communities, which fosters the growth of unorthodox ideas. But obstacles like upholding quality control and handling moral issues like equitable recompense and privacy issues highlight the necessity of cautious execution. With the integration of intelligent algorithms and automation in technology, crowdsourcing looks to have a bright future ahead of it, providing even more effective and significant collaboration in a variety of disciplines.

Learning take aways for the subject Gee 16 - Entrepreneurial Mind

What is the purpose of this subject?• This subject aims to develop individuals minds with different career path to indulge in the world of business. It helps them to reach certain goal in mind on how to run business despite of having different career paths. Business can't choose anyone, but you yourself can choose business. The subject has it's goal to not focus on what can you have but help you reach the beyond.

How to become entrepreneur?

• Find business that suits you

• Plan your business thoroughly

• Know your target audience or consumer

• Sell your idea

• Make money

- An entrepreneur plays an important role in society, without these individuals, foods, clothes, cosmetics and other things around us wouldn't be possible. These products are work of an Entrepreneur. Imagine a world without entrepreneurs? People around the globe will be clueless of tradings and other things in the world.

My main take away of the topic:

- As a future educator, it is rare to encounter this kind of subject since that it doesn't matched out field. However, as I indulge myself and let myself informed about this subject, I have realized that this subject helps me to aim other things beside teaching. Teaching is my passion, on the other hand I was thinking about something to invest myself after I reached my dreams. One of my goals is to have a business in the future, a small business that would help me invest my savings into something that is worthy. However, I don't have any experience or don't have any idea on how to start, with this kind of subject. Individuals like me can think of things on how to start a business in future, it will be a great help for us who's not knowledgeable enough.
