#anatomical dysfunction

[barrymccaulkinem]

when i reasserted to my mother that if you go to a dry well you'll pull up an empty bucket she threatened to conserve me. rather than ever once see that she has done this to me just as much as my doctors have.

but she has a hammer, so this looks like a nail

anyway be on the lookout for that bc if i come on here saying she's gonna i actually will need train tickets and to be put up somewhere and actually helped. that one's not gonna end up being a false alarm

she wants to squeeze money out of me to spend on makeup and give to a landlord who doesnt reinvest ANYTHING into this place

hiiii uhhh joel drabble based on my daddy dick appointment yesterday

warning: rimming, intox (poppers and weed), oral, squirting, erectile dysfunction (real old man dick enjoyers know wassup), toys, overstimulation, daddy kink obvs

anatomical terms: cunt/pussy, clit/cock/dick

It’s not that you had daddy issues.

Or that he had a framed picture of him and his daughter on the shelf.

Or a throw pillow with the word DAD sewn onto it, clutched against your chest as he messily ate you out on the leather sectional in his one bedroom apartment.

No, he was just hot. A hot older guy that hit you up on Grindr for the ol' smoke and poke, a quick hit of some blunt and cunt. That’s it. That’s all this was.

He was just a hot older guy, and nothing more.

Not a daddy.

The picture of his daughter was not staring you down while you blew him, much too rigorously for his liking.

“Easy, easy there, easy. Slow down, baby. I don’t wanna cum yet. Just- Just lick my balls for a little bit. Nice and slow, good boy.”

You did as he said, slithering your tongue across and smothering your face in his massive balls, trying and failing to fit even just one in your mouth. You did not want to think about how that girl in the picture frame was once swimming around in them.

And you definitely were not wondering if his daughter’s mother ever ate his ass out like this. With how tense he was, you figured probably not, but he opened up beautifully once you lubed up your fingers. Hell, he even took that buttplug like a champ.

“Oh, Jesus Christ… Ngh…”

“You okay?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m good… Just gotta… Mmm, just gotta get used to it, sweetness.”

Maybe his ex was kinky. Maybe she’d been the first one to touch his prostate. Or maybe it was his doctor just a couple weeks ago. Maybe it’d been revelation, divine knowledge bestowed to him while bent over on the exam table, and he’d been experimenting ever since, trying to make lightning strike twice.

You were not trying to guess whether he was divorced, a widower, or a cheater. Hopefully not the third, because nothing will kill an orgasm faster than a vengeful spouse and a loaded handgun. But hey, that’s not your problem. Not yet, at least, and hopefully not ever.

Just a hot older guy. Decades of experience, and it showed. He surely knew his way around a pussy, liquid proof dripping from his mustache. He knelt down in front of you once more, hoisted your legs onto his shoulders, and yanked your butt off the edge of the couch.

“Got the poppers, bud? Y’wanna hold ‘em up for me?”

You uncapped and held the small bottle to his nostril and watched him take a five second inhale, then a breath, and another five second inhale.

Fuck, he was hot.

You barely had time to bring the poppers to your own face before his went down. His tongue pressed and flicked, swirled and licked your fattened clit. Two long fingers shoved up your pussy, and one snuck up your ass, all three reaching much deeper than you could do yourself. They pumped in time with his mouth, at first. Steady, deliberate motions intended to open you up for something more. He rose to his feet, bringing your legs up with him, and feverishly pumped his half-hard cock. Brows knit in unwavering focus as he tried to get it all the way up.

“Shit… won’t stay up. Hol’ on. Where’s the damn…?”

He grabbed a rubber ring off the coffee table and slid it onto his cock, tugging his heavy balls through the loop. You watched, entranced, having no frame of reference for what that might feel like. You tried to imagine it on your own cock: a tight pinch, forcing all that blood into it, all that pressure. It sounded heavenly on its own, but to be fair, you had much less dick to fill. The ring seemed to be doing the trick for him, though. He finally got it up, poked it against your cunt, and shoved it in. No time to waste, and no time to adjust before he started coring you out on the couch.

For about three thrusts, and then he fell out.

“Son of a… Fuck it.”

In a fit of sexual frustration, he fell to his knees and plunged his face into your pussy once more. All tact and any shred of restraint he had left was gone. He was an animal, and devoured you as such. He sucked your tiny dick up into his mouth, tugging at it like he was trying to tear it off. The three fingers went back into your holes as if they'd never left, finding your sweet spots in a matter of seconds. He jackhammered them, forcing you to bear a ruthless, brutal onslaught of pleasure. The speed had your entire body shaking, even down to your voice.

"F-F-F-u-u-u-u-u-c-k-k, o-o-h-h-h-h, y-y-y-e-e-e-e-e-s-s-s..."

It sounded like you were moaning into a desk fan, the sobs of ecstasy being intercepted by his hand. His wrist did not falter, not for a moment. Not even when every jab of his fingers got him splashed with cum. Every. Jab. You honestly didn't even know you could physically squirt this much. Hell, you couldn't stop squirting. Not that you'd want to, but still. He just took it on the chin, quite literally, snarling with sadistic satisfaction as he drank it all down. When his thirst was finally quenched, he pulled back, his face glistening with your juices.

"Sorry I couldn't get hard, darlin'. I dunno if it was the poppers or the pot or what... Usually doesn't happen to me."

The fuck? The man sucks your soul out of your body, gives you an industrial-strength orgasm, and the first word out of his mouth is sorry? Your cunt was still buzzing a good 30 seconds after he stopped and he thinks to apologize? Is this guy for real? You shut that shit down right away.

"No, no, no, oh my god, you're... you're fine, don't worry... Shit... That was... You're fucking amazing... Thank you..."

"Aw, pleasure's all mine, sugarplum. You taste fuckin' incredible, y'know. I could-"

*RING*

"Shit, it's my daughter. I gotta take this."

Saying the quiet part out loud, it seems.

omg is spinal misalignment fake?? please say more

joints can and do dislocate, subluxate, become unstable, suffer alignment issues, etc. however, because osteopathy is historically more related to bonesetting than most other branches of medicine, and because the actually distinct bits of osteopathy are primarily the use of musculoskeletal manipulations to treat pain and disease, when an osteopath talks about spinal misalignments, lesions, or somatic dysfunctions, this is not equivalent to the diagnosis of an anatomical issue with the spine or other bony structures / joints.

this is related to the way that the chiropractic use of the term "subluxation" is not equivalent to the medical (that is, anatomically defined) use of the same term. a chiropractic subluxation is a metaphysical entity assumed to be present wherever there is dysfunction; this 'subluxation' has never been rigorously or consistently defined, nor is its existence verifiable, nor does it correspond to any specific finding on diagnostic imaging or in manual examination.

osteopaths and chiropractors love to use terms like subluxation and talk about joint alignment and so forth because this makes them sound credible, because these are real issues that people can and do experience. however, if someone is telling you that you have these issues despite there being no consistent physical evidence they can point to, or you're getting conflicting diagnoses from different practitioners, or you're being told you have some special anatomical problem that can be resolved by paying someone to yank your shoulder or some shit, that's probably not good advice and may or may not be in any way diagnostically related to any real musculoskeletal issue you may or may not be having.

[papermonkeyism]

have you read/watched dungeon meshi? the way the author treats the usual slew of fantasy races (dwarves elves gnomes humans etc) is to classify them as different types of human (wherein humans are referred to as tallmen instead) and it always makes me think of your fantasy world, where elves/orcs/humans evolved from the same ancestor (which is a concept i love and that u should totally ramble about again at some point if you should ever desire 👀)

Not yet, I haven't. I've seen quite a bit of it through tumblr dashboard osmosis, and I am interested in getting into it, but once I decided to read it (after seeing some anatomical and intra species variation studies of the different peoples, specially orcs) and went looking, I found all the books were either sold out or cost like 50€ a book, so, nah. I am interested, but not international-shipping interested.

(And netflix is such a hassle, I have to text my brother to unlock it if I wanna see anything and hope he's awake/available to notice, despite me being included in the family account, because the stupid enshittification, and I just haven't wrestled the ADHD executive dysfunction to submission about it yet. Watching anime is an Event I have to focus on, because it needs my eyes on it, so I can't just put it on as a background noice. I miss my anime watching buddy.)

Haven't gotten around to it yet. -_-

My own setting ramblings? Okay, here's a little.

(Keep in mind this is very much still under construction, so things can change.)

So magic is a thing here. It's like background radiation, it exists pretty much everywhere, but there are some places that are like hot spots of magical influence, and that has a chance to affect living beings over time. Specially in hotspots that are also otherwise isolated (like a volcano on an island) keeping the creatures nearby staying nearby, so changes have more chances to accumulate over time and generations.

There are Old People, where the species of origin is basically so muddled over time you can't actually tell what they started as (goblins and Arcanth's people), and hominids, who are, well, human/human-ish (human, elf, orc, dwarf).

Of the humany peoples the orcs are the "newest" people. They're, well, basically think of Iceland. A bunch of human and elven sailors found an uninhabited island in the middle of an ocean and inhabited it, mingling for enough generations that all of them are mixed now, with the background magic subtly enhancing some of their features over time (they are taller, more robust and have display tusks that come from neither of the parent peoples). Their origin is basically within history.

Dwarves' origin is way, waaaaay back. Like neolithic times old. A lot more isolated (not much seafaring historically), dwarven origin home is a mountaineous island/peninsula. Short, extremely dense, long arms and shor spines and legs. Hairy. Great at tolerating high altitudes and low temperatures. Also great climbers! Historically (pre-orc times) they have had some trading with the outside world, but mostly only with humans, as elves tend to not tolerate the cold as well, and usually by said humans as dwarven muscle density makes it so dwarves can't float. (Possibly because of this, humans are the only peoples that still can breed with dwarves and have fertile offspring. Dwarf-elves are infertile.)

Elves are potentially the oldest of non-human hominids, but whatever their origin land was has been lost to history. They steer towards nocturnal lifestyle (they have tapetum lucidum) and having a lithe build. Full elves are unable to bulk up in muscle the way humans can be, and even fat elves usually have skinny limbs from knee or elbow down, which gives them a disadvantage against cold weather. Natural elf features also include temperature sensitive albinism (pointed markings, like some cats have) and skin pigment in the shades of gray (think of hairless cat and dog breeds). Brown and solid colored elves aren't uncommon, but it's a sign they have human ancestors somewhere in their family tree.

Most orcs are solid (human) gray (elf), even though human brown tends to dominate elswehere in elf-human crosses.

Hilariously, the human contribution to the gene pool has been piebald markings. They didn't originally sport them themselves, but whenever there has been interbreeding with humans, pigmentless patches have just started cropping up. Having white markings is very common in orcs (sunscreen was invented by/with the influence of orcish sailors) and although it does crop up in human populations sometimes, it just means somewhere in your family tree someone boinked something non-human, and the result kept boinking humans.

MITZIE AND THE THINGS SHE FOUND IN THE RIVER; a wip intro

(intro graphics by @veneritia)

Genre: new adult, urban fantasy

Tropes: Cloudcuckoolander, But for Me, It Was Tuesday, Her Boyfriend's Jacket, Non-Linear Character, Red String of Fate, Necromancer, Child of Forbidden Love, Anthropomorphic Personification, Revenant Zombie, Interactive Narrator

5 Song Playlist: Inkpot Gods, Bulletproof Heart, The Last of the Real Ones, Call Your Mom, Breath of Life

TL;DR: Keyesville, PA's got a serial killer, and it's up to "undergrad" witch Mitzie Morse and yoga instructor Khalil Bashir to stop them.

Summary:

For six months, Mitzie Morse has been pulling murder victims out of the river.

She gets them fixed up, so she figures it's not really a big deal, but there's definitely a serial killer on the loose. One who's ramped up their activity lately, a pattern of escalation in both violence and frequency of killings that would give anyone other than Mitzie some pause. Necromancers have a dysfunctional relationship with reality. Someone has to remind them that death is scary for most people, or they forget. Luckily (for Keyesville, not Mitzie) the latest victim, burnt out physical therapist turned yoga instructor Khalil Bashir, is happy to remind her that she has the power to stop these killings once and for all. Unluckily (for Keyesville, for Mitzie, and mostly for Khalil) a quirk of fate and magic has bound the two of them together. Doubly unluckily (for Keyesville, for Khalil, and mostly for Mitzie), the killer has set their sights on a new target: Mitzie Morse.

Characters

Mitzie Morse

like all necromancers, mitzie has a sense of style kindly described as "macabre" and accurately described as "fucking gross." dir en grey, gazette, and my chemical romance posters war with gruesome anatomical diagrams of creatures ranging from humans to unicorns to, somehow, dodo birds for wall space. her kitchen cabinets are home to a collection of mismatched thrifted cups, plates, and bowls, an ancient, somewhat decrepit, rice cooker, and an array of body parts preserved in mason jars. the colorful ones your least favorite high school classmates use for drinks in their instagram posts.

[…]

"i think he might need a new left eye." she takes a step back to survey her handiwork. "maybe a couple toes and fingers, too. do i still have toes and fingers?"

unfortunately, the answer to that is yes. they're in the pantry, next to the box of gushers. the one that's already open, not the unopened one on the top shelf. kind of wedged between the gushers and the canned ravioli. yep, she's found them. she's never explained why she keeps them in there, to me or anyone, at least not in a way that i'm willing to accept.

"i told you, there's not enough space in the cabinets."

there would be plenty of space if she got rid of all the novelty cups.

"i don't want to get rid of my novelty cups."

she should, they're grungy in the gross way.

Khalil Bashir

"who are you?"

anyway, the yoga instructor, khalil, is up.

he's still sitting on mitzie's kitchen table, the blanket she threw over him folded over itself in his lap. he's twisting around, trying to figure out where he is (you're in mitzie's apartment, i just said that) and where i am (everywhere all at once, but i'm incorporeal so you can stop looking).

"who are you? who the fuck is mitzie?" he's got that high-pitched edge to his voice that people get when they're panicking. unfortunate.

"hello?"

oh. right. i'm stevie.

[…]

"what is this?" he holds the gift card out from himself like it's going to bite him.

"a twenty five dollar gift card!" mitzie stares at khalil. khalil stares back at mitzie. this goes on long enough that she decides to elaborate, "you know, for your trouble."

he looks like he'd like to say something but isn't fully certain what he wants to say or how he wants to say it. this is a common reaction to mitzie. she does tend to just open her mouth and say things. khalil opens his mouth, then closes it, then opens his mouth, then closes it. he looks at the gift card. he looks at mitzie. he looks at the gift card. he sighs, shakes his head, and stuffs it in a pocket.

"why did you settle on twenty five dollar gift cards?"

"i dunno, it seemed fair."

"right."

khalil's been having the longest day known to man for two and a half weeks.

Fatima Bashir

fatima is one of those unspeakably fashionable people that makes everything she wears look good. even, more than occasionally, dog vomit.

see, much like her brother burnt out on the whole "living in philly and fighting the demon in the homeless man outside the wawa for his life every time he wanted a hoagie" life, fatima got tired of having to sit through putting people's dogs to sleep for eighteen dollars an hour and no health insurance. so khalil's a yoga instructor, and fatima owns keyesville's first doggie daycare. somehow, her perfect manicures never get too fucked up.

"any news on khalil?" asks the office worker, passing a tupperware container of cookies across the counter. this is the fifth time today that someone has asked this. it is seven in the morning.

"not yet, but we're staying optimistic. thanks for the cookies; mom loved the last ones." it's true that her mom loved the cookies, but it's not true that she's thankful for them.

Johnny ???

"so, what's up with the mcdonald's napkins?" khalil is sitting extremely inadvisably unbuckled in the back of the van.

"no clue." two sharp turns and a hard stop at a red light. johnny sips his cucumber water placidly while everyone behind him climbs back into their seats. "gotta take 'em somewhere in oklahoma, though."

"how do you know that?"

"no clue."

johnny is a mystery wrapped in an enigma lodged in a mound of horse shit. you'll recall that his previous identity was cursed or something, so he turned it over to edna in exchange for the first of many mcdonald's napkins and a broken magic guitar. some garage sale special of unknown make, black paint flaking off the wood everywhere, strings curling around the pegboard like medusa's snakes. it doesn't matter how many times he changes the strings, or what he does when he changes them, they will always break as soon as he plays them, and the only song the guitar will reliably play is the mysterious one written on the mcdonald's napkins he keeps finding everywhere.

“Sometimes that’s what it takes mentally and physically to get the male penis inside the female vagina” I am DYING why would they phrase it like that but also, of course they would phrase it like that…

ITS THE FUNNIEST FILM THEY SHOWED US IN SEX ED

I have not been able to find it since, but i distinctly remember the whole plot because of that one line. It followed the protagonist, who was a teenage boy, from the moment he woke up and realized puberty had started, to when he went to bed at night knowing what sex is. Incredible learning curve btw. Dude was cooking.

He woke up realizing he had a wet dream and told his mom about it, who told him he must have hit puberty and went over how the things he dreams about now are perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of, but are still sometimes private and often not to be acted on in real life. Great lesson to instill in kids, but insane conversation to have over frosted flakes, which were what he was eating. This was how it STARTED btw. Our health class was at 9 in the morning.

He then went to school, where he disregarded what his mom told him entirely and told all his friends he had a wet dream and asked them what puberty was. One said that he thinks thats a city in france. The teacher overhears the conversation and completely stops her math lesson to draw anatomically accurate diagrams of a penis and a vagina on the board and label them.

After school the kid meets up with his older brother who is visiting from military boot camp (NEVER elaborated on. Malcolm in the middle plagiarism) at an outdoor public park by a lake to talk about sex and puberty. The brother has a big long talk with him about growing up and developing his sexuality over time and what is and isnt appropriate to engage in. This is surprisingly progressive for when i grew up in the 2000s, because he covered consent, said that maturbation is healthy, told him when and how to get STI tested without fearmongering, etc. Honestly they could have cut out all the rest of the movie. But the legendary line was when the brother was talking about how some people experience performance anxiety and erectile dysfunction which is totally normal and treatable with the right medical or psychological help and then he hit that one-two punch of "sometimes thats what it takes mentally and physically to get the male penis inside the female vagina."

And now, sometimes, to this day, in my own apartment, with a college degree, and my job, i will sip my coffee in the morning and my brain will think "sometimes thats what it takes mentally and physically to get the male penis inside the female vagina."

[nsk96]

I need to rant some, because I’m tired of controlling parents who make their kids suffer just to have some kind of moral high ground.

I just love how they're trying to fear monger people into voting against Amendment 4 in Florida. The amendment: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider." (Viability means the stage of fetal development when the life of a fetus is sustainable outside the womb)

The amendment will also allow minors to get an abortion without parental consent, but will uphold the law that parents must still be notified prior. Which would allow time for parents to intervene anyways.

This anti-amendment 4 ad I just saw, had this lady posing to be a mother, saying that the amendment goes against "parental rights". Way to tell people that you're a bad parent by saying:

Forcing your kid to undergo physical and mental trauma is a parental right, and

Your kids don't trust you enough to talk to you about it because you’re not a safe person to have this discussion with

Listen parents, if you actually respect your kids, you wouldn't have to worry about them getting an abortion behind your back. They'll willingly come to you first. Abortion is not some fun adventure; your kids will need emotional support and guidance through the process.

If you force your kid to carry a pregnancy to term because you want your kid to “learn a lesson", guess what, the fear, guilt, and shame of getting pregnant as a minor is enough punishment as it is. Being SA by a family member/friend/stranger is enough punishment as it is. You willing to put your kid in danger for the sake of teaching them a lesson is sick. Your job as a parent is to keep them safe, help them thrive, and raise them into responsible adults who can make their own decisions safely.

Putting them in more danger for the sake of your own feelings because you believe abortion is wrong, holds them back and makes things worse for their future. Safety > punishment. If you can't understand that, you already failed.

Be the parent they can have a safe discussion with.

Pregnancy and giving birth, are life-altering situations which in most cases have permanent consequences on adults (e.g., bodily changes/dysfunction, death, inability to have more children, heart conditions, diabetes, depression). Outcomes are worse for kids.

Pregnancy can be beautiful but also dangerous at the same time. People need to stop romanticizing pregnancy and recognize we are anatomically poorly designed for it, hence why so many people have died from it throughout history. Why so many still get C-sections when the default method fails. Hence why many are bleeding out in parking lots with their miscarriages when they don't get the care they need.

To force a child through that physical and mental torture is demonic. To force anyone through it, is. To be honest, I think if you force a child to carry a pregnancy to term, you should be charged for child endangerment/abuse. Fuck your "parental rights." Kids are not your property, they're your responsibility.

Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Satisfy.

The tagline for Hims literal Hard Mints Chewables in an online ad that auto-played as I scrolled through a wiki article literally nauseated me & makes me fucking sick:

Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Satisfy. With confidence.

Hims now makes and sells chewable hard mints for ED (erectile dysfunction) that come in “discreet” tins.

The ad for the Hims Hard Mints is absolutely sickening & dehumanizing.

I just saw an in-website ad for the Hims Hard Mints that auto played as I was scrolling.

I was actually rereading the script for the demiurge episode from Aeon Flux.

The dystopian society that Aeon Flux presented that I watched for the first time on MTV in 8th grade in 1995 has now become a distressing Orwellian reality.

Aeon Flux was deeply dark, mindfucky & deconstructive and included heavily sexual subplots where the main character, Aeon, clad in a skin-tight leather BDSM get up with an impossibly tiny & concave waist & ginormous boobs actually has sex with someone through a hole in her back.

Pretty dehumanizing & reductive portrayal of sex, right?

Just like the Hims Hard Mint ad.

So, the active ingredient in Cialis & Levitra has now been put into a hard mint chewable in a “discreet” tin.

Just like everything else, absolutely no thoughts to what might be behind the ED — anxiety, stress, mind body disconnect, unprocessed emotions and/or trauma, listlessness, lethargy, numbness, emptiness inside, loneliness, aimlessness, mindlessness, constant distraction, being overworked by design in our capitalist corporatist economic system, toxins chemicals & additives in foods & beverages, depressive feelings, malaise, existentialist despair, feelings of self-doubt, abandonment, isolation, inadequacy, constant comparisons, constant competition, keeping up with the joneses, overemphasis on the mechanics of sex, reductionism where sex is reduced solely to harden fuck ejaculate, lack of esotericism, total disconnect of mind body soul heart constantly caused by capitalism which is endlessly rewarded by disordered inhabitants that are slaves to the corporatist machine, lack of philosophical inquiries, never having a thought, watching pornhub on cell phone since 10 creating toxic harmful unrealistic expectations for sex. . .

Treating men like dehumanized sex robots and machines.

Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Perform. Satisfy. With Confidence.

Disgustingly sickeningly exploitative & reductive.

Reducing sex to nothing but moving body parts.

Why chewable? Why mint flavored?

Why in a tin?

Because then it seems like its not prescription medication - which it is, it has the same active ingredient as Cialis & Levitra - its just, pop an Altoid then go fuck her.

Just as mindless as everything else in our current 3 second attention span society.

Why not try to get to the root of what is causing the ED as 90%+ of physical & mental DIS-eases is literally your body mind being at dis ease and is caused by a mind body imbalance of some sort.

Why not look within instead of looking in a tin?

Why is the answer presented as a chewable Altoid?

Fun. Easy. Minty. Fresh. Discreet.

Why not reflection?

Why not meditation?

Why not examining ones own thought, minds, feelings & emotions?

Why not journalling?

Why not experimenting sexually and seeing if the ED is being caused by lack of interest in current sexual activities?

Why not explore your sexuality and sexual identity and see if boredom or malaise or lack of physical/sexual attraction may be at the root of the ED?

Why must everything be unthinking?

Simple?

Automatic?

Just pop a minty chewable chew.

In a discreet tin. Nobody has to know.

The entire ad focuses on the man satisfying the woman by chewing, hardening, lengthening, satisfying, performing with confidence.

Imagine that that is an ad actually describing a thinking feeling human being.

Its fucking terrifying.

Its nauseatingly reductive.

Its dehumanizing as fuck.

Its reducing men to literally nothing more than their anatomical reproductive organs and functions.

[weirdstrangeandawful]

I'm going to use anatomical terminology here. If you don't like that or if you find that dysphoria-inducing, skip over this post -- I won't be offended.

Okay look. This isn't my community but it makes me so so mad anyway. I keep seeing responses to anything that mentions prosthetic penises or packers or even dildos that say some variation of 'what is the point of this' as a way of shaming the trans community.

The point is to allow anyone without a penis or without a fully functional penis (or literally anyone who wants to) to participate in sexual acts that they couldn't otherwise participate in. There is nothing wrong or sacrilegious about that. This has been happening since forever. It's accessibility. It's inclusivity. Yes, it disproportionately helps the trans community but it also helps the disabled community. It helps the lesbian community. It helps the gay community. It helps veterans. It helps the straight community. It helps peple with low or no fertility. It helps people with pelvic floor dysfunction. It helps people who've been through sexual trauma. It helps virgins who need to insert menstrual products. It helps literally everyone because you are highly unlikely to never encounter someone who fits into at least one of the above categories.

It's a safe piece of equipment, can we stop being weird and transphobic about it please???

I know and understand exactly what you mean when you're talking about executive dysfunction. The wondrous world of being ND.

It's like this stupid conversation with your brain.

Myself: I need to do this for college.

My brain: School credits are important

Myself: I am completely capable of doing this.

My brain: We're smart like that.

Myself: So let's do this.

My brain: Nah. No fun.

Conversation circles back to the top, repeat ad nauseum.

And then I just don't do this thing I want/need to do because my brain is basically trying to protect me from boredom or something the like.

College is way more stressful then it needs to be...

So yeah, having executive dysfunction can't really be compared to a writer's block. Both suck for sure, but each got a completely different psychological cause behind it.

Best of luck getting past it, be it tomorrow or next month or later still. It may be one of those things that can't just be flipped on or off, but it will at some point.

And the thing about the conversation is, you have in real life. With real people. Like your parents or your teachers, but unless you can explain why you're like That™ It ends up being "I got distracted."

Can I tell you the anatomic traits of the Wobbegong Shark?Yes!

Can I tell you the story of the Pacific Clipper? Naturally!

Can I do math in my head? No. No I cannot. Please don't make me do math. For the love of god keep it away from me.

Engineers Design Robotic Replica of Heart’s Right Chamber - Technology Org

Engineers Design Robotic Replica of Heart’s Right Chamber - Technology Org

The realistic model could aid the development of better heart implants and shed light on understudied heart disorders.

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart’s right ventricle, miming live hearts’ beating and blood-pumping action.

A new bio-robotic model developed by MIT engineers simulates the function of the heart’s lesser-known right ventricle (illustrated here in cross-section, as seen from a front view, on the left). Soft, balloon-like “muscles” (in blue) wrap around and contract the ventricle, mimicking its real pumping action. The model could help to test new implants and devices to treat a range of cardiac disorders. Illustration by the researchers / MIT

The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with synthetic, balloon-like artificial muscles that enable scientists to control the ventricle’s contractions while observing how its natural valves and other intricate structures function.

The artificial ventricle can be tuned to mimic healthy and diseased states. The team manipulated the model to simulate conditions of right ventricular dysfunction, including pulmonary hypertension and myocardial infarction. They also used the model to test cardiac devices. For instance, the team implanted a mechanical valve to repair a natural malfunctioning valve, then observed how the ventricle’s pumping changed in response.

They say the new robotic right ventricle, or RRV, can be used as a realistic platform to study right ventricle disorders and test devices and therapies aimed at treating those disorders.

“The right ventricle is particularly susceptible to dysfunction in intensive care unit settings, especially in patients on mechanical ventilation,” says Manisha Singh, a postdoc at MIT’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES). “The RRV simulator can be used in the future to study the effects of mechanical ventilation on the right ventricle and to develop strategies to prevent right heart failure in these vulnerable patients.”

Singh and her colleagues report details of the new design in an open-access paper appearing in Nature Cardiovascular Research. Her co-authors include Associate Professor Ellen Roche, who is a core member of IMES and the associate head for research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT; along with Jean Bonnemain, Caglar Ozturk, Clara Park, Diego Quevedo-Moreno, Meagan Rowlett, and Yiling Fan of MIT; Brian Ayers of Massachusetts General Hospital; Christopher Nguyen of Cleveland Clinic; and Mossab Saeed of Boston Children’s Hospital.

A ballet of beats

The right ventricle is one of the heart’s four chambers, along with the left ventricle and the left and right atria. Of the four chambers, the left ventricle is the heavy lifter, as its thick, cone-shaped musculature is built for pumping blood through the entire body. The right ventricle, Roche says, is a “ballerina” in comparison, as it handles a lighter though no-less-crucial load.

“The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, so it doesn’t have to pump as hard,” Roche notes. “It’s a thinner muscle, with more complex architecture and motion.”

This anatomical complexity has made it difficult for clinicians to accurately observe and assess right ventricle function in patients with heart disease.

“Conventional tools often fail to capture the intricate mechanics and dynamics of the right ventricle, leading to potential misdiagnoses and inadequate treatment strategies,” Singh says.

To improve understanding of the lesser-known chamber and speed the development of cardiac devices to treat its dysfunction, the team designed a realistic, functional model of the right ventricle that both captures its anatomical intricacies and reproduces its pumping function.  

The model includes real heart tissue, which the team chose to incorporate because it retains natural structures that are too complex to reproduce synthetically.

“There are thin, tiny chordae and valve leaflets with different material properties that are all moving in concert with the ventricle’s muscle. Trying to cast or print these very delicate structures is quite challenging,” Roche explains.

A heart’s shelf-life

In the new study, the team reports explanting a pig’s right ventricle, which they treated to carefully preserve its internal structures. They then fit a silicone wrapping around it, which acted as a soft, synthetic myocardium, or muscular lining. Within this lining, the team embedded several long, balloon-like tubes, which encircled the real heart tissue, in positions that the team determined through computational modeling to be optimal for reproducing the ventricle’s contractions. The researchers connected each tube to a control system, which they then set to inflate and deflate each tube at rates that mimicked the heart’s real rhythm and motion.

To test its pumping ability, the team infused the model with a liquid similar in viscosity to blood. This particular liquid was also transparent, allowing the engineers to observe with an internal camera how internal valves and structures responded as the ventricle pumped liquid through.

They found that the artificial ventricle’s pumping power and the function of its internal structures were similar to what they previously observed in live, healthy animals, demonstrating that the model can realistically simulate the right ventricle’s action and anatomy. The researchers could also tune the frequency and power of the pumping tubes to mimic various cardiac conditions, such as irregular heartbeats, muscle weakening, and hypertension.

“We’re reanimating the heart, in some sense, and in a way that we can study and potentially treat its dysfunction,” Roche says.

To show that the artificial ventricle can be used to test cardiac devices, the team surgically implanted ring-like medical devices of various sizes to repair the chamber’s tricuspid valve — a leafy, one-way valve that lets blood into the right ventricle. When this valve is leaky, or physically compromised, it can cause right heart failure or atrial fibrillation, and leads to symptoms such as reduced exercise capacity, swelling of the legs and abdomen, and liver enlargement.

The researchers surgically manipulated the robo-ventricle’s valve to simulate this condition, then either replaced it by implanting a mechanical valve or repaired it using ring-like devices of different sizes. They observed which device improved the ventricle’s fluid flow as it continued to pump.

“With its ability to accurately replicate tricuspid valve dysfunction, the RRV serves as an ideal training ground for surgeons and interventional cardiologists,” Singh says. “They can practice new surgical techniques for repairing or replacing the tricuspid valve on our model before performing them on actual patients.”

Currently, the RRV can simulate realistic function over a few months. The team is working to extend that performance and enable the model to run continuously for longer stretches. They are also working with designers of implantable devices to test their prototypes on the artificial ventricle and possibly speed their path to patients. And looking far in the future, Roche plans to pair the RRV with a similar artificial, functional model of the left ventricle, which the group is currently fine-tuning.

“We envision pairing this with the left ventricle to make a fully tunable, artificial heart, that could potentially function in people,” Roche says. “We’re quite a while off, but that’s the overarching vision.”

For an old pixel daily theme, ‘ritual’. Since I already did a lead figuring from a binding spell for the ‘creepy’ theme, I figured I’d go for a slightly more wholesome (and still creepy) ritual object here.

It’s an anatomical votive offering based on this one currently in the Acropolis Museum (y’know, that place where the Parthenon Marbles should be).

I ended up having to make it look like the column was made of bricks rather than the limestone block that it is because that’s the only way I could get even remotely close to making it look like the face is inside the column rather than resting on its surface.

Info from the Acropolis Museum website:

It was found together with the pillar in 1876 on the south slope of the Acropolis, in the area where the Sanctuary of Asklepios is located.

At the time that archaeologists discovered the pillar there was still an inscription preserved, reading "Praxias dedicated it to Asklepios with prayers for his wife". Clearly, Praxias' wife was suffering from an ailment of the eyes and he offered their image to the god.

There’s something very human about this kind of votive offering and what they reveal - that ancient people worried about their health, and the health of their loved ones in the same way people do today. That sense of worry, of wanting to be able to help is an experience in common. It’s relatable content.

Praxias loved his wife, and his wife was ill. So he dedicated this in hopes that it would help his wife.

Other relatable content: there’s at least one votive offering of hair. Just… hair as if it were arranged on a head. No head. Just the hair. People have apparently always worried about losing their hair. (Absolutely not telling anyone here how they should feel about changes to their own body, but your hair is not your worth, or your beauty, and anyone who mocks you over any part of your appearance can go shit pine cones. Unless you are literally Samson, then it might be an issue).

Anatomical votive offerings are often found in shrines, temples, places associated with healing. Some are figurines of the whole body, but often the votive is a representation of the specific organ/body part that required healing (or perhaps, occasionally, protection - there’s at least one instance of a votive offering of a foot made by someone who was about to start a long journey. Some/lotsof the votives of wombs (yes, there are lots) were probably to keep a pregnancy healthy, others might be in thanks for a healthy pregnancy. Others might be related to fertility issues as well needing healing from all the many ways that pregnancy and childbirth fuck your body up (and which we don’t talk about enough in contemporary society because what happens to the incubator just isn’t important, right? /s)

There are plenty of offerings showing eyes, ears, feet, hands, wombs, breasts and external female genitalia (which is fascinating in that it’s represented here. It’s not exactly something you see represented/talked about in antiquity (or today)). And, of course, there are lots of dicks. Probably related to erectile dysfunction than fertility, given that ancient understandings of fertility mostly thought of it as a problem with the womb rather than the spunk.

I’m kinda fascinated by this one of ‘female viscera’ Currently in the Science Museum in London. You just don’t see that many representations in antiquity of the insides of a body. And it kind of reminds me of the anatomical Venuses (highly recommend Joanna Ebenstein’s Book ‘The Anatomical Venus: Wax, God, Death and the Ecstatic’.

Anyway, check this website to to read more about anatomic votives and to see things such as a ‘Votive left hand, broken at wrist, possibly making a prophylactic gesture’.

Oh. Canvas size is 100x100 pixels.

With only vague knowledge of anatomy, my very speculative theory so far is that if it's hard for your body to get one piece of information to another part of the body in some sort of systemic way, you will see all of these issues crop up. both as "strategies" and as emergent behavioral dysfunction when those strategies fail, or both at the same time depending on whether the strategy that makes the brain go less crazy on some level is incompatible with socially acceptable behavior (and if you can't reliably perform socially acceptable behavior at a sustainable cost to your body, you can get a little crazy on a different level bc some degree of perceived social acceptance is also a human need).

Hyper mobility involves stretchier tissues, which implies larger "gaps" between some anatomical components at a low level. Interferes with body maps, pieces of sense data taken in by one part of the body can get delayed (or blocked, esp. if you're primarily using your joints for proprioception).

You see a lot of comorbid POTS, which is aided by increased sodium intake, sodium helps electronic signals transmit throughout the body, would make sense that someone who has larger gaps in their tissues and cells would need More.

obviously you're going to end up with issues in smooth muscle function and compensate for it with voluntary muscle movements at some level if you can (which can cause constipation).

stimming = giving yourself lots and lots of predictable sensory input which brains need to avoid going crazy, and to be able to distinguish self-generated input from external input. The "bodymind" cares a great deal about this distinction bc it matters a lot for survival!

Conceptual rigidity is a similar kind of anchor for prioritizing information and actions. Also emerges downstream of having some kind of bias wrt which stream of sensory input is the easiest for an individual to process.

Meltdowns and shutdowns happen when the sense data hits some threshold of confusing.

You can compensate by attaching high stakes to behaviors which lets you temporarily use adrenaline and cortisol to figure out what to prioritize, leading to burnout if used as a default strategy.

Bodies need some appropriate ratio of all kinds of sensory input and feedback between actions and different kinds of input to adequately figure out what's going on between the self and everything else. We also need lots of actual movement, especially bilateral movement, to make sure the entire body gets all of the necessary information.

I tend to see all of this stuff as an attractor state which people can be more or less likely to fall into depending on genetics and environment. Disruptions at any level of sensory processing can move you closer to that attractor state. Modernity has a ton of auditory, visual, and conceptual input but way less required movement, tactile stimulation, etc. hence higher rates of all of the disorders mentioned.

Idk it makes phenomenological sense to me.

comorbid disorders are either like "yeah ok, makes sense" or "what the fuck"

adhd and autism having a high comorbidity rate? yeah checks out

adhd and autism both having high rates of comorbidity with hypermobility and GI issues? thats an evil curse

Sextoys: Exploring Intimacy, Pleasure, and Well-being

Sextoys have been a part of human culture for centuries, but in recent decades, their popularity and acceptance have surged. As people become more open about their sexual health and desires, sextoys are being recognized not only as tools for pleasure but also as instruments of self-care, exploration, and connection. This article explores the different types of sextoys, their benefits, and how they contribute to a fulfilling and healthy sexual life.

1. What Are Sextoys and Why Do People Use Them?

Sextoys are products designed to enhance sexual pleasure and intimacy. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials, and can be used solo or with a partner. Some common types include vibrators, dildos, anal toys, and BDSM-related accessories. People use sextoys for various reasons, including increasing sexual pleasure, enhancing intimacy with a partner, exploring their own bodies, or adding variety to their sexual experiences.

The use of sextoys is often tied to a person’s desire to discover new sensations, overcome sexual difficulties (such as low libido or erectile dysfunction), or simply to add excitement to their sex life. With a growing focus on sexual wellness, many are now embracing sextoys as a way to improve their overall well-being and self-care.

2. Types of Sextoys and How They Work

Sextoys come in a variety of types, each designed for different needs and preferences. Here's a breakdown of some of the most common categories:

Vibrators: These are among the most popular types of sextoys. They come in many shapes, from bullet vibrators to larger, more ergonomic models. Vibrators stimulate through vibrations, which can target sensitive areas like the clitoris, penis, or erogenous zones, providing varying intensities of pleasure.

Dildos: Typically non-vibrating, dildos are designed to resemble the shape of a penis. They can be used for penetration and come in a wide variety of sizes, materials, and designs. Some are designed to be gender-neutral, while others are tailored for specific anatomical needs.

Anal Toys: These include anal beads, butt plugs, and prostate massagers. They are specifically designed to stimulate the anus and surrounding areas, offering sensations that differ from traditional vaginal or penile penetration. Many anal toys are designed to be safe and comfortable, often featuring flared bases to prevent over-insertion.

Bondage and BDSM Toys: These include cuffs, restraints, whips, and blindfolds. These toys cater to individuals interested in exploring power dynamics, sensory deprivation, and pain/pleasure boundaries. BDSM toys can be a means of deepening intimacy, communication, and trust between partners.

Couples Toys: Designed to be used by two people during sex, couples toys can enhance shared experiences. Vibrating cock rings, remote-controlled toys, and interactive toys that sync to your phone or other devices are common in this category.

3. The Benefits of Using Sextoys

While sextoys are primarily used for pleasure, they offer numerous additional benefits. Here are some of the key advantages of incorporating sextoys into your sexual wellness routine:

Enhanced Pleasure: Sextoys can provide stimulation that might not be easily achieved through manual or traditional sexual activity. Vibrations, textures, and adjustable settings can help individuals or couples reach new levels of pleasure.

Increased Intimacy: Using sextoys with a partner can bring couples closer, fostering better communication and creating a shared experience. They allow for experimentation and fun, which can reinvigorate a sexual relationship.

Improved Sexual Health: Sextoys can be useful for addressing sexual concerns. For example, vibrators can assist in improving blood flow and sensation, which is beneficial for people experiencing sexual difficulties or those going through menopause.

Self-Exploration and Confidence: Exploring your body with a sextoy can help you understand what feels good, build confidence, and enhance self-knowledge. This can lead to a better understanding of your own sexual desires, which translates into more fulfilling relationships.

Relief from Stress and Anxiety: Many people report that using sextoys helps them de-stress and relax. The physical pleasure can lead to the release of endorphins, improving mood and easing tension. Additionally, for individuals who experience anxiety related to sex, toys can be a low-pressure way to enjoy intimacy.

4. Choosing the Right Sextoy for You

With so many options available, choosing the right sextoy can feel overwhelming, but there are some important factors to consider:

Material: Look for toys made from body-safe materials such as silicone, stainless steel, or glass. These materials are non-porous, easy to clean, and hypoallergenic. Avoid materials like jelly rubber, which may contain harmful chemicals.

Functionality: Consider the purpose of the toy. Are you looking for something for solo play or to use with a partner? Are you seeking a toy for internal or external stimulation? Assess the features of the toy—such as vibration settings, waterproof capability, and ease of use—to make sure it aligns with your preferences.

Size and Shape: Sextoys come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Think about what feels comfortable and exciting for you. For beginners, it may be best to start with smaller toys and gradually experiment with larger ones if desired.

Price and Quality: While price can vary widely, it’s important to invest in a quality toy. Higher-end products often last longer, are safer to use, and are more effective in providing the desired experience.

Reviews and Recommendations: Reading reviews or asking for recommendations can help you navigate the wide range of options available. Many reputable online retailers offer customer reviews that can guide your decision.

5. Breaking the Stigma: Why Sextoys Are an Important Part of Sexual Wellness

Despite their growing popularity, there’s still a lingering stigma around the use of sextoys, particularly in more conservative cultures. However, attitudes are slowly changing as more people embrace their role in sexual wellness. Here’s why it’s important to continue breaking the stigma:

Sexual Health and Education: Sextoys are an important tool in sexual education, helping individuals better understand their bodies and sexual needs. Open discussions about toys can also reduce feelings of shame and embarrassment surrounding sexuality.

Normalizing Pleasure: By openly talking about sextoys, we can normalize sexual pleasure for everyone—regardless of gender, orientation, or relationship status. This can empower people to explore their sexuality without guilt or fear of judgment.

Promoting Consent and Communication: Using sextoys with a partner encourages open communication about desires, boundaries, and preferences. This fosters a healthier approach to intimacy, where both partners feel safe and respected.

Encouraging Self-Love: Sextoys can be an essential part of self-care and body positivity. Exploring your own pleasure is a powerful way to build a positive relationship with your body, and it can help combat feelings of insecurity or disconnection.

In conclusion, Sextoys are not just about pleasure—they are an integral part of sexual wellness, offering benefits ranging from physical enjoyment to improved intimacy, health, and self-understanding. By breaking the stigma and normalizing their use, we can create a more open, accepting, and informed approach to sexuality. Whether you’re exploring on your own or with a partner, embracing sextoys can be a fun and empowering way to enhance your sexual journey.

Classified information has been governed by various Official Secrets Acts, the latest being the Official Secrets Act 1989. Until 1989 requested information was routinely kept secret invoking the public interest defence; this was largely removed by the 1989 Act. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 largely requires information to be disclosed unless there are good reasons for secrecy. Confidential government papers such as the yearly cabinet papers used routinely to be withheld formally, although not necessarily classified as secret, for 30 years under the thirty year rule, and released usually on a New Year's Day; freedom of information legislation has relaxed this rigid approach.
