sooo sick of ablebodied neurodivergent / mental health advocacy that throws physically disabled people under the bus.

if someone is being ableist to you or shaming you for your mental health and you respond by telling them they wouldn't say that to a physically disabled person, you have 0 idea how ableism works.

"you wouldn't tell wheelchair user to just walk!" yes they would.

"you wouldn't tell someone with a cane to just go gluten free / vegan / etc!" yes they would.

"you wouldn't tell someone with chronic pain to just suck it up!" yes they would.

"you wouldn't say that to someone with dwarfism!" yes they would.

"you wouldn't tell a blind person they're faking!" yes they would.

"you wouldn't-" yes. they. would.

by doing this you are treating physically disabled people like our problems with ableism aren't real or aren't taken seriously. you are using us as a talking point without caring about us. you are making it clear that you don't understand how ableism affects us and that you don't care to learn.

this is not "lateral ableism" you are straight up punching down. you as an ablebodied¹ person have privilege over physically disabled people.

if you feel like saying "but physically disabled people can oppress neurodivergent people too!" true! but that's not an excuse for your behaviour. also, disabled people are 4.6 times more likely to experience frequent mental distress than abled people.² so a lot of the time it's not that they're opressing you. it is that you can't conceive of physically disabled people also being mentally ill.

¹ obviously there are cases where conditions affect both the brain and body (ie. very high support needs autism), and the line is not always clear in these cases, but these people are not the people perpetuating this problem, nor are they the ones i'm talking about in this post.

Hi! Not to be one of those bothersome people who ask if you've tried this or that, but I came across this and thought I'd share just in case it's helpful : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6076304/ (from Wikipedia - "According to a 2018 study, umeboshi may have anti-allergic effects, and "suggested that ume has the potential to inhibit mast cell degranulation and may be associated with reduced risk of allergic symptoms in women.""

Thank you, that's one I hadn't heard before. I'll add it into my research list :)

[lifesteal-headcanons]

Okay, I was listening to the Little Nightmares Rap song from 2018 and I was like. Holy shit Leo??? HEAR ME OUT S6 Leo, only goal(before): Kill Flame. And after every single death causing him to be almost banned, he was just hungry for having that sense of power he lost, when PMC stopped being a thing anymore. He wasn't a threat anymore.

Dopamine, migraines, and ADHD

Y'all.

I had a bad migraine today, pain 8/10, and I noticed I was yawning constantly all day. Out of curiosity, once I had recovered enough that I could take off the blindfold, I looked up "do migraines make you yawn."

Yeah. Migraines can make you yawn. They make you yawn because it's a dopaminergic symptom. Migraines involve fluctuations in dopamine, and people who have more of the dopaminergic symptoms (yawning, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, mood swings, and increased urination) also tend to have migraines that are longer and worse.[1]

Not only that, it turns out that migraines are much more common in people with low dopamine.

"ADHD is caused by low dopamine," thought, so I looked up ADHD and migraine. Yeah! ADHD and migraine are correlated.[2] Low dopamine levels can increase the risk of ADHD, migraine, sleep disorders, and pain disorders. Dopamine-signaling cells are part of neural pathway for perceiving pain.

Here's how low dopamine makes migraines worse:

If you naturally have a low level of dopamine in your body, your body will try to adjust by increasing the amount or sensitivity of your dopamine receptors.

Dopamine levels rise during the migraine prodrome (the part before the pain hits).

The dopamine receptors will start firing at a lower dopamine level than normal, because they're all super-sensitive to deal with chronic low dopamine.

Now everything hurts for no damn reason.

Outside of me realizing that the low dopamine is, yet again, my personal villain, I also learned something else kind of cool: Dopamine antagonists (meds that lower dopamine activity) can help stop a migraine once it's started, but dopamine agonists (meds that increase dopamine activity) can prevent migraines from happening.[3]

That makes sense, if you think about it. If you're already mid-migraine, you need the dopamine turned off so your pain receptors can reset. And if you don't have chronic low dopamine to start with, your body won't make your dopamine receptors super sensitive.

My point for this entire post: There's evidence that taking ADHD meds can help prevent migraines.[4]

All I could find was one single preliminary study looking at this, but the results were very promising. I know that I personally have noticed less frequent migraines since I got on Adderall.

The fact that no one is studying this is driving me bonkers. I might actually try to email some college professors out of the blue to look at this. Hey! If you're in neuroscience and you're reading this, maybe study dopamine agonists as a method of preventing migraine!

Unit 4: Nature interpretation through art

For as long as I can remember, I've always appreciated the beauty of our world and overall had a more artistic and observant view of the world. On road trips with my family to our trailer, for the entire three to four hours, I would look outside my window to the sky and with whatever clouds there were, I would imagine what shape they closely resembled and would create intricate stories based on the movement of the clouds, any other shapes it took on and the other clouds around it (which would take on side character roles or help the plot thicken). Lucky for me, I have very patient parents who always pushed me to share my creativity, so throughout the whole car ride, I'd share what I was interpreting from the clouds with the entire car. As mentioned in Chapter 5 of our textbook (page 90), Interpreters also help their audience gain new perspectives or a new view and understanding of something they hadn't given much thought to before; I feel like slowly in my life, I've been developing this skill naturally, this being the first memory of it. I've always loved to look at nature from an artistic and creative point of view, and as I've grown into a more spiritual/religious appreciation of the world, as mentioned in my first blog, it's given me much more profound gratitude and mindfulness. In addition to this, being a biology major and having much experience being in nature and observing it from both a scientific and artistic view allows me to "find patterns within apparent chaos." as mentioned in the same chapter and page of our textbook, to be able to interpret nature through art.

The way I interpret the "Gift of Beauty," is a way of introducing mindfulness and higher awareness to an audience. When we don't see the beauty in nature and its small intricacies, like organisms and ecosystems, which make it a whole, we ignore them and often forget about them. Additionally, in our society today, the world is built to constantly distract you from being in the present moment. Stressors, such as social media, financial issues, jobs and school/school work, are all things that often take up a majority of our time and thoughts, and we become swept up in everything else that we forget to acknowledge many gifts in life, one being nature and its psychological powers.

To have available areas of nature you can visit is a gift in itself, as you can always rely on the stillness of the forest or the tranquillity of hearing the sounds of the river to take a moment and do nothing but observe the beauty of how nature works as one. For those who don't understand how to be present with nature and mindful of the space they're in, this may seem boring, but once mastering this skill, you can use it to its full advantage to reduce levels of stress and increase gratitude and happiness (Alexandros Argyriadis et al., 2024). Keeping all of this in mind, I believe a good interpreter has the gift to present the beauty of nature in such a manner that allows their audience to understand this message, yet be able to conclude it on their own to truly feel spiritually uplifted and want to fight for the preservation of these spaces overall.

So, because I can’t leave well enough alone and Some Shit Happened today, I put together some resources that affirm that if you are a person who identifies as nonbinary, you can and do fit under the trans umbrella. Of course, you do not HAVE to refer to yourself or think of yourself as trans, but it was a really important part of my journey as a nonbinary person to realize that I was “allowed” to be in the trans community, because, and this is the important part, *all this is required to be trans is that you do not identify with the gender you were assigned at birth.” That’s it. End of qualifications needed to ID as trans.

If you are nonbinary and don’t WANT to identify as trans, then don’t. But I think it’s important to know that you’re allowed to, and we enbies who do identify as trans are happy to have you be part of our family.

“Why do we use umbrella terms?

“Umbrella terms” are words that are used to describe a large range of concepts or experiences in simplified terms. For example, painting is an umbrella term that can be used to talk about oil paintings and watercolours, detailed brushwork to splatter art, and even changing the colour of a house. Similarly, trans and gender diverse, trans, and transgender are umbrella terms for a population of people whose gender is different to what was presumed for them at birth. The term trans is inclusive of binary trans people (women and men who are trans), non-binary trans people, Sistergirls and Brotherboys. Umbrella terms are an often imperfect but helpful solution to trying to talk about a wide range of experiences that are closely related in some ways, but very different in others. No two trans people will have the same experience of being trans, but we have similar experiences that may not be shared with cis people. Trans and gender diverse people are also a socially and legally marginalised population, and coming together under these umbrellas of identity is an important way of advocating for ourselves and each others’ rights despite the differences we may have.” (https://www.transhub.org.au/101/what-is-trans#why-do-we-use-umbrella-terms)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6830997/

“Like genderqueer, non-binary can be traced to the work of transgender and transsexual authors who resisted or transcended gender binaries, for example Bornstein, who stated that ‘Gender fluidity recognizes no borders or rules of gender.’ (1994, p. 52). The earliest use of terms referring directly to non-binary seems to be around 2000, for example Haynes and McKenna’s (2001) collection Unseen Genders: Beyond the Binaries.”

“Overall, academic production has not kept pace with the growth of non-binary identities, and there are difficulties with erasure of non-binary within the broader transgender category (Fiani & Han, 2018). “

“Monro and Van der Ros (2017) demonstrate the way in which state apparatus and the medical establishment can operate to perpetuate a socially marginal position for non-binary people. Gender binarism may be compounded by trans*3-normativity – “the belief that there is only one way for trans* people to practice their gender…[it] suggests that all trans* people should transition from one socially knowable sex to another” (Nicolazzo, 2016, p. 1175). These forces, which operate at cultural, institutional, policy, and legal levels, combine to perpetuate narrow models of sex, gender, and sexual identity.”

https://glaad.org/transgender/transfaq/

“Everyone has a gender identity, an internal sense of self and perception of one’s own gender. For some people their gender identity is the same as the sex they were assigned at birth (cisgender) and for some people their gender identity is different than the sex they were assigned at birth (transgender). 

There have always been transgender people who felt that their gender identity didn’t fall neatly into the two binary categories of “man” or “woman.” In the past, trans people who felt that way used the words genderqueer and genderfluid to describe that experience. While those words are still used today, it’s now more common for people to call themselves non-binary if they feel their gender identity is something other than “man” or “woman.” People who use the word non-binary to describe their gender identity typically also call themselves transgender.”

Indotriconodon flies,baby!

By omegafreelancer

So learning that Indotriconodon magnus – an already impressive animal in being a large sized Mesozoic mammal and an unambiguous eutriconodont from the Maastrichtian – is also a volaticothere I naturally had to commission it in its likely volant form.

Volaticotheria phylogenetic tree by Bajpai et al 2024

Its debuting study also recover Sangarotherium and��Eotriconodon as volaticotheres. The former in particular is the only mammal in an Arctic environment dominated by other synapsids (Averianov et al 2020), so it clearly must have been able to fly and migrate when other crown mammals couldn’t.

Things just keep looking up for volaticothere flight, which I already extensively argued for with the marine deposition and lack of dental wear of Ichthyoconodon, the early cosmopolitan distribution of the group, the fact that Volaticotherium‘s hand is largely missing and the fact that gliding mammals are primarily herbivorous (Luo 2017).

Naturally, I also used this image to forward my speculative volaticotheres over at Lemuria.

What a wonderous day.

Meduza: Prigozhin’s ghost pops up again: Investigators at the Dossier Center project report that Russia’s newly appointed defense minister, Andrey Belousov, previously “curated” the activities of mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin. The project says it obtained a copy of Prigozhin’s “personal calendar” and an archive of Belousov’s emails reportedly showing that the two met privately to hammer out policies that would later be refined and shared with President Putin. According to the Dossier Center, Belousov received a research paper as early as 2018 arguing that private military companies would be a vital component of Moscow’s confrontation with the United States and Great Britain and in the expanding “gray zones” of international conflicts. The authors of the paper in Belousov’s inbox advised that PMCs should be formed under the state’s full control. They identified Prigozhin’s Wagner Group as a Defense Ministry company.

Pets offer numerous benefits to their owners, both physically and mentally. Here are some of the key benefits:

Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Interaction with pets has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol, a stress-related hormone. This can help reduce stress and anxiety[1][7][10].

Improves Heart Health: Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health[1][3][4][9].

Boosts Mood and Self-esteem: Pets can trigger feelings of comfort, security, and emotional support, which can have positive effects on humans by counteracting feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, and depression[5].

Promotes Physical Activity: Owning a pet, specifically a dog, can significantly impact an individual’s level of physical activity. People with dogs engage in more minutes of physical activity per week[3][9].

Strengthens the Immune System: Multiple studies examining children’s exposure to pets found protective effects against allergies and increased immunity[3].

Improves Social Skills: Pets can be a great social lubricant for their owners, helping you start and maintain new friendships. Dog owners frequently stop and talk to each other on walks, hikes, or in a dog park[7].

Alleviates Feelings of Loneliness: Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by providing companionship[4][9].

Improves Coping Mechanisms: Pet owners have reported significantly better coping self-efficacy and significantly more positive emotions[2].

Remember, the benefits of owning a pet are not just limited to dogs and cats. Other animals, such as rabbits, can also provide similar benefits[7]. However, it's important to note that owning a pet also brings new responsibilities, such as knowing how to care for and feed an animal[1].

[fur-teeth-bones-earth]

On Names

And How I Have Encountered Them in the Craft

There’s a special power in names. They represent something about us beyond just a word we answer to. Names that say something about who we are, who we love, who loves us. They can give a voice to hearts and souls. Or, as is sometimes necessary, they’re designed to hide who we are. When you call upon a deity or a spirit, the name you use can honor them or speak to their different aspects.

Names can christen a tool and ensure it remains loyal to us. They can acknowledge the spirit of the tool and awaken it. They can be used to summon and honor spirits—or to bind and banish them. A name alone can define a context and a space to interact with a spirit with. When you use a formal title to call upon an entity, by name alone you’re establishing a sacred space. When you call upon a named aspect of an entity, you’re establishing purpose and intent with them.

Kennings, or poetic epithets, feature prominently in Norse mythology. In Skaldskaparmal, the narrator bestows kennings upon numerous figures based on their traits, their deeds, and their relationships. Tyr is hailed as the “One-handed God” and the “Fosterer of the Wolf”, both referring to his role in the story of Fenrir (where, as you may have guessed, he loses a hand to a wolf that he helped raise). Loki receives the name “Benchmate” of Odin” but also the “thief of the Giants, of the Goat, of Brísinga-men, and of Idunn's Apples” (1). It reflects the complex role Loki plays as both the blood-brother of Odin and the mischievous trickster.

Pagan practices often place special emphasis on names from their tradition. Many choose a name for themselves or, depending on their path, may receive a name. Anyone who’s perused a list of witchy authors will be familiar with this. Author Clio Ajana shares her experience with names in a religious context in “Column: How Do You Get Your Name?” She describes how she settled on the name the article is published under, which took years to decide on and happened by accident at first. (4)

If you have a Catholic background like I do, you may also have experience with confirmation names. Those being confirmed select a patron saint and take on their name. While exact requirements and rationales vary by location and tradition, many choose saints whose virtues they wish to embody or who they want to work closely with (3).

Names can be precious and worth protecting. Many people hold their most sacred names close to themselves. Pagan initiatory traditions often gift a name to their participants that they keep private (4). Additionally, I think of queer people who keep their chosen names close and share them only with a trusted few (either as a temporary measure before sharing it widely or in the long-term). While this is often for safety more than anything else, there is a sacredness in that community.

Not all names are designed to identify. When a person wants to remain anonymous they often choose a pseudonym, which might be devoid of personality or might present a certain mask. Think of donors to a conservation charity who identify themselves as “Anonymous” or “Hawk lover”. Usernames are another example of protecting your identity with a name while still expressing something of yourself. These anonymous names carry a liminal quality with them. You’re there, but no one knows you are. They’re fleeting, only existing for a brief moment before fading away, or only appearing under the right circumstance.

It wasn’t even a cardiologist who prescribed them to me either!!! In theory they were supposed to be a safe bet because they had been prescribed to me in the past (for social anxiety,, by a psychiatrist who didn’t gaf abt me,,, & I never even really took them).

But that was before I found out they could cause hallucinations!!!! And sometimes??? something else called Toxic Psychosis???????? Don’t know what the FUCK that is!!!!

I’m also still supposed to see a cardiologist and get one of those 24/7 halter monitors, but I just keep putting it off.

(It’s bad I know - but I gotta call and make an appointment and then drive across town to MAYBE get the fuckin thing)

Also Metoprolol is another one that is known to more commonly cause hallucinations and stuff too, since both Metoprolol and Propranolol are both lipophilic agents.

YOWHAT my first peracription for propanolol was ALSO for anxiety, ALSO by a psychiatrist who didnt gaf abt me!!! i told the story a while back but she treated me like i was [SLUR REDACTED] once she pegged me as autistic and tried to UNdiagnose me with aspd and diagnose me with bpd. the SECOND TIME SHE SAW ME!!! like its clear she just thought i had bpd bc i was autistic and traumatized and she saw me as a woman and That's The Traumatized Girl One!

do i aktually have bpd? iunno, i cant trust these cucks!!! i do have some traits of it tho nglllll but just traits teehee. funny enuf i had an oc back in 2018, way before my diagnoses, who had aspd/npd with bpd traits. what in the foreshadowing

ANYWAY toxic psychosis sounds like some new buzzword the narc abuse people made up. i am afraid to know what it ACTUALLY is bexause it sounds really very not good

GO SEE THE HEART DOCTOR!!! the sooner u get ir it done the sooner its OVER WITH!!! also if u get the kind that sticks to ur chest, tape it down when u sleep or wear a REALLY tight shirt, otherwise itll peel in the morning. like the tape tjar keeps it on u yk. tell then ur having CHEST PAIN. doctors donf fuck around with chesr pain. if u can somehow trigger a heart episode in urself that would also be poggers. anything to get them to listen but yeah say u have CHEST PAIN and u can feel ur heart beating in ur chest. worked for me!!!

also ty for the studuy!! ill read it 2morrow and make sure to NOT get metoprolol cuz ion want a repeat of the SAME ASS PROBLEM or worse.......a worse peoblem

i mean, tumblr users over 23 are 98% pmc or studying to be pmc or etsy brained aspirational petite bourgoise. theyre exactly the people who would have bought tesla stock in 2018 on some ethical capitalism/effective altruism shit

i love seeing posts like "SELL ALL YOUR TESLA STOCK NOW!!" on tumblr dot com like they do not let you buy stocks if you know what a karkat is
