Thank you Trixie and Katya for your wise words 🙏🏻 Also, inside I just know Noel would be very pleased with “I love the way that little goth bitch dresses, she always turns it.”

i feel like tumblr NEEDS to know about Dr. Ally Louks, and the term "Olfactory Ethics"

(long post incoming)

storytime/timeline:

on november 27, 2024, an excited English Literature PhD recipient posted a picture of herself with her thesis, titled:

"Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose"

as you can see (on the bottom row, above), the tweet has been viewed over 119 MILLION times, and has received over 250k likes. unfortunately, within days (most of the replies dating december 1st), she had garnered what seems like every possible insecure man with a twitter account to post their vitriol and rage concerning the fact that a woman is clearly more well-researched than them. regardless, she tanked it ALL with kindness and with a smile:

AND I MEAN VITRIOL (queen of making boundaries clear):

(inserting reading break for the timeline's space's sake):

here's her abstract:

and in case the abstract wasn't clear, she has since (date: december 16th) taken the time to re-summarize her thesis for the layman (yes that is a link! click it! 3min read!)

she has repeatedly shown just the perfect amount of kindness and understanding for those who are simply Not Comprehending (mostly december 1st):

(the chatGPT hate in the next one is my favorite:)

has upheld an incredibly high moral standard of how she interacts with the situation (december 2nd):

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: regardless of this crap, she made it clear that as a professor, her FIRST priority at the end of the semester would be taking care of them (december 3rd)

(CAN SHE GET MORE BASEDDDDDDDDDD)

she stays both 1) educating the masses, and 2) engaging with pop culture as much as a normal person would (december 9th-17th):

she also supports a free palestine (WHO IS SURPRISED. NOT ME.) ((december 15th))

here's the BEST FREAKING THING ABOUT THIS. since this all has happened, RANDOM TWITTER USERS, UNKNOWINGLY, have REPEATEDLY proven her thesis to be true,

again,

and again,

AND AGAIN.

EVEN CARDI B DO YOU HEAR MEEEEEEEE

COMBATING MISOGYNOIR WITH HER OWN BARE HANDSSSSS

oh she knows she's mother

here's some more she never saw/commented on (INCLUDING SOME FROM TODAY. IT IS STILL GOING ON. EVERY SINGLE DAY LIKE CLOCKWORK SOMEONE POSTS SOMETHING THAT PROVES HER POINTS ABOUT OLFACTORY ETHICS):

THE WICKED MOVIE REFERENCE HELLO

apparently, OTHER academics are mad at her for being so famous and influential, but she stays unbothered (december 16th, and TODAY, december 19th):

and she's partially getting her post-doc on how people's sense of smell has been altered (december 1st):

and the best part is!

all of these screenshots i've collected are only a SAMPLE, illustrating dr. louks' indomitably kind and ethical character.

anyway. i want ALL of y'all to start saying, out loud, "olfactory ethics", or even better, "dr. louks was RIGHT" (something something women's names are erased something) every time you see something that plays into her thesis. never let her influence die. THINK THROUGH what you're REALLY saying when you comment on the smell of something, or how your perception has been shaped by society. USE THIS PHOTO IF YOU HAVE TO:

follow her on twitter (@DrAllyLouks) or bluesky (idk her handle, if someone tells me i'll edit it in)

AND SAY HER NAME!! DR. ALLY LOUKS

Three little princesses working in the medical field !!

I'm proud to admit that this new art style is going to be my official art style. I also had this idea in my head for months now, and it feels so good to finally draw and post.

BONUS : Mario and Nurse Peach

One of my favorite couples ever !

I love how Peach is worried about her little hero getting hurt on his way to visit her after her shift as a nurse, this was also an idea I had in mind and was originally going to be Luigi and Daisy, but I figured Daisy would be the perfect surgeon since she does not fear anything.

And since I've started dedicating my artwork, I'm going to dedicate these both to @silenzahra and @ask-the-doors-entities . You both deserve something special after all those hard times you both went through. Feel better you guys !! I also want to dedicate this artpost to @starrosalina and @vulpixfairy1985 . Thank you so much for supporting my many (and I mean many) of my Luaisy artwork. I really appreciate it !!

Art is mine !! Don't copy/repost

Please ask before using

"Huh? You want out? You want me to help you? Who said I'd do that? Nyeeeeck!"

Getting out of a general art funk by drawing more Mario. Tolstar is one of the most memorable Mario and Luigi bosses for me because I just love what a horrible little nerd he is. Dude's just hanging out in a wasteland near a country's border calling himself King and extorting people for money. Only winged Spike in franchise existence and this is how he lives his life.

Luigi's Thunder Shield

Here's How I Headcanon Luigi Having The Ability To Create A Thunder-Like Force Field With His Thunder Hand When It Gets Too Much. Of Course During Battles He Uses It Too To Eliminate Lots Of Enemies, Just Also At Times When He Can't Take It. Usually This Sucks Out Almost All Of His Energy Though.

I have chronic back pain, have for a while. It’s not so bad now that I had surgery, but I lived with it for years. I tried to go to a doctor for it, but they just said to lose weight, so I learned to live with the pain until one morning I couldn’t get up from bed. Couldn’t move without feeling like electricity was running up and down my back, burning my spine and leg from the inside.

This had me back in front of a doctor who (thankfully) listened and then for an entire year my insurance jerked me around requiring that I try different methods to manage the pain before finally agreeing to cover surgery.

In that year leading up to surgery something inside me broke. I couldn’t do the most basic tasks. Having to learn how to move my body in just the right way so that I wouldn’t lock up trying to wipe my own ass is one of my least favorite memories. Next to it is a tie between falling at my sister’s wedding because my leg gave out and being in so much pain I couldn’t sleep for days on end. I couldn’t sit, couldn’t drive, couldn’t bend or twist or even lay down without feeling like my nerves were on fire.

Work accommodated but I felt useless. I couldn’t lift inventory anymore. Couldn’t do a key part of my job that I (oddly) enjoyed doing. Commuting the hour to school twice a week was excruciating, but it was my first year of grad school. I had to push through. My professors were kind, they accommodated so that I could be as comfortable as possible in class. But I felt like a distraction, a nuisance, a bother. It was so hard to focus on lectures and homework when 90% of the input my brain was receiving was that of pain.

I grit my teeth and bore it, my mental health hit a new all time low, and I broke down in front my my mother more times than I can count. And I did this for a year because insurance refused to cover surgery unless I proved to them I needed it. I had to jump through their hoops and play by their rules to get the procedure I needed and that my care team knew I needed. I lost feeling in my leg and foot because they made me wait.

I will forever be grateful for the doctors who listened, for the physical therapist who advocated for me, for my mom who surprisingly became my rock during the whole ordeal. But my insurance company? They can go fuck themselves.

My pain before that year was bad, but not excruciating. My pain now? It’s minimal. Sometimes I still lock up and I’ll likely never have all of the sensation return to my left foot, but I’ll take the constant pins and needles over that year of pain any day. That said, had it gone on much longer I genuinely don’t know if I’d be here typing this.

Anyways…I guess what I’m saying is IF he did it, I get it. I really really get it.

not to be inflammatory but violence is a legitimate and effective solution! your capability (and your communities capability) to be violent is one of the only powers you (and your community) can control. stay capable of violence.

also- “remember who the real enemy is” haymitch abernathy (hunger games, suzanne collins). (hint: billionaires)

(and i don’t really care about being inflammatory. inflammation is the body’s response to injury and infection. inflammation is necessary to heal and to get rid of the injury-causers. much like violence!)

[sirfrancisvarney]

So the alleged shooter was supposedly dealing with chronic pain? Honestly, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. I mean, I've been dealing with health issues recently, and between the physical pain and the frustration of dealing with our medical system, I was about ready to off someone in the first 24 hours.

[armandology]

plsss when I saw the video of the ceo shooter going into the courthouse I was like “he kinda has an lbf air about him” 😭🫣

HELPPPPP 😭

Seeing people's Mario OCs is making me think about mine... Princess Myrtle, Princess of Flower Fields. She's bub-ulb themed! Like all princesses, she was created by the star spirits after hearing the wish of all the residents of the Flower Fields; in their case, they wished that if they were ever in trouble again, they had someone they could rely on rather than having to wait to be rescued. She was raised by the Wise Wisterwood as well. (Art by Birthday on TH)

She's shipped with Prince Haru of the Flower Kingdom from the 1986 Mario movie...... He spends the majority of the movie as a dog creature due to a curse tho!

[thelaughingmerman]

I feel a little bad that I only use the Mario cast in Sparks of Hope if I like have to. But the Rabbids are all so fun and silly with strong personalities like im just supposed to not run around with just them?

justice for luigi!!!!
