Went to a counter-protest yesterday in support of trans rights and queer kids, and it was the most intense moment of activism I have ever experienced. The anti-trans protestors were mean, rude, bumping into us, stirring shit, knocking umbrellas out of people’s hands. We outnumbered them, but not by much- depends on if you count kids or not. Also they didn’t scruple to use said kids as shields and/or weapons, so that was pretty shitty. There was a rumour that a kid actually got taken away by the cops o.0
The optics were weird. Apparently the movement was started by a Muslim woman, so while the anti-queer sentiment attracted some “trucker convoy”-type white dudes (and they were only too happy to instigate and escalate), it looked very much like a bunch of white queers yelling down a bunch of brown families- super uncomfortable. Weird day, very stressful, definitely felt unsafe at multiple points in the day… and as someone with a whole lot of privilege, I’m so glad I went.
PS My arms actually hurt from holding up my sign.

Este año que cumplo un número par decido que sea el comienzo de apreciar más a las personas que me rodean, a veces tiendo a desplazar y herir a gente que me aprecia, quizá sea mi mecanismo de defensa ya que inminentemente sé que algún día moriré y sufrirán, por eso no quiero que se encariñen conmigo y yo tampoco crear un lazo porque suelo desbordarme de amor. Reconozco mi errores, mi apatía, mi pelea diaria contra mi ignorancia, mi procrastinación, mis pocas ganas de luchar contra mis problemas que me ahogan, mi ego… sé que es un largo trabajo aún, que quizá en un año no lograre mejorar todo pero sé que trabajaré tanto que seré mejor que ayer, la competencia siempre ha sido contra mi misma. Espero poder convertirme en lo que tanto anhelo, por mí y para mí. Seré resistente una vez más.

Happy end of 2023! This has been a great year for me despite all the things happening in the world. I graduated with my bachelor's and got into my first choice master's program and I am having a swell time there right now. Got my first job -job, finished a thesis, spent more time with my family. I started writing fanfic - will be linking it on this blog- and finished NaNoWriMo, all while getting mostly 7 hours of sleep a night. It had been a good year for art too, even though I've had less time on it this year due to everything else that is going on.
Here is to 2024 continuing to be great!

Sept 18 - did more hours of scanning. Interesting to see glimpses of my sister and BILs life outside of the times I was present. And spot the odd photo from events I was there for.
Made chayote wraps for supper using the leftovers from the roasted chicken legs last week. I did the filling while the nephew took a turn at scanning, then he filled and baked the wraps.
Sept 19 - did some shopping and a grocery run. Dozed off in late afternoon/early evening and nephew didn't take over making the planned supper, so we had a fend night. I hunted down a cherry turnover, some fresh mini tomatoes, strawberries, and a yogurt cup.
Sept 20 - back to scanning! And crocheting between scans. I can work 1-2 triple stitches per scan, so I'm making slow but measurable progress on the scarf. Nephew made shepherds pie for supper.

they have a point though. you wouldn't need everyone to accommodate you if you just lost weight, but you're too lazy to stick to a healthy diet and exercise. it's that simple. I'd like to see you back up your claims, but you have no proof. you have got to stop lying to yourselves and face the facts
Must I go through this again? Fine. FINE. You guys are working my nerves today. You want to talk about facing the facts? Let's face the fucking facts.
In 2022, the US market cap of the weight loss industry was $75 billion [1, 3]. In 2021, the global market cap of the weight loss industry was estimated at $224.27 billion [2]. 
In 2020, the market shrunk by about 25%, but rebounded and then some since then [1, 3] By 2030, the global weight loss industry is expected to be valued at $405.4 billion [2]. If diets really worked, this industry would fall overnight. 
1. LaRosa, J. March 10, 2022. "U.S. Weight Loss Market Shrinks by 25% in 2020 with Pandemic, but Rebounds in 2021." Market Research Blog. 2. Staff. February 09, 2023. "[Latest] Global Weight Loss and Weight Management Market Size/Share Worth." Facts and Factors Research. 3. LaRosa, J. March 27, 2023. "U.S. Weight Loss Market Partially Recovers from the Pandemic." Market Research Blog.
Over 50 years of research conclusively demonstrates that virtually everyone who intentionally loses weight by manipulating their eating and exercise habits will regain the weight they lost within 3-5 years. And 75% will actually regain more weight than they lost [4].
4. Mann, T., Tomiyama, A.J., Westling, E., Lew, A.M., Samuels, B., Chatman, J. (2007). "Medicare’s Search For Effective Obesity Treatments: Diets Are Not The Answer." The American Psychologist, 62, 220-233. U.S. National Library of Medicine, Apr. 2007.
The annual odds of a fat person attaining a so-called “normal” weight and maintaining that for 5 years is approximately 1 in 1000 [5].

Doctors became so desperate that they resorted to amputating parts of the digestive tract (bariatric surgery) in the hopes that it might finally result in long-term weight-loss. Except that doesn’t work either. [6] And it turns out it causes death [7],  addiction [8], malnutrition [9], and suicide [7].

The idea that “obesity” is unhealthy and can cause or exacerbate illnesses is a biased misrepresentation of the scientific literature that is informed more by bigotry than credible science [12]. 
12. Medvedyuk, Stella, et al. “Ideology, Obesity and the Social Determinants of Health: A Critical Analysis of the Obesity and Health Relationship” Taylor & Francis Online, 7 June 2017.
“Obesity” has no proven causative role in the onset of any chronic condition [13, 14] and its appearance may be a protective response to the onset of numerous chronic conditions generated from currently unknown causes [15, 16, 17, 18].

Fatness was associated with only 1/3 the associated deaths that previous research estimated and being “overweight” conferred no increased risk at all, and may even be a protective factor against all-causes mortality relative to lower weight categories [19].
19. Flegal, Katherine M. “The Obesity Wars and the Education of a Researcher: A Personal Account.” Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 15 June 2021.
Studies have observed that about 30% of so-called “normal weight” people are “unhealthy” whereas about 50% of so-called “overweight” people are “healthy”. Thus, using the BMI as an indicator of health results in the misclassification of some 75 million people in the United States alone [20]. 
20. Rey-López, JP, et al. “The Prevalence of Metabolically Healthy Obesity: A Systematic Review and Critical Evaluation of the Definitions Used.” Obesity Reviews : An Official Journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 15 Oct. 2014.
While epidemiologists use BMI to calculate national obesity rates (nearly 35% for adults and 18% for kids), the distinctions can be arbitrary. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health lowered the overweight threshold from 27.8 to 25—branding roughly 29 million Americans as fat overnight—to match international guidelines. But critics noted that those guidelines were drafted in part by the International Obesity Task Force, whose two principal funders were companies making weight loss drugs [21].
21. Butler, Kiera. “Why BMI Is a Big Fat Scam.” Mother Jones, 25 Aug. 2014. 
Body size is largely determined by genetics [22].

Healthy lifestyle habits are associated with a significant decrease in mortality regardless of baseline body mass index [23].  
23. Matheson, Eric M, et al. “Healthy Lifestyle Habits and Mortality in Overweight and Obese Individuals.” Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM, U.S. National Library of Medicine, 25 Feb. 2012.
Weight stigma itself is deadly. Research shows that weight-based discrimination increases risk of death by 60% [24].
24. Sutin, Angela R., et al. “Weight Discrimination and Risk of Mortality .” Association for Psychological Science, 25 Sept. 2015.
Fat stigma in the medical establishment [25] and society at large arguably [26] kills more fat people than fat does [27, 28, 29].

HEY YOU!!
Fuck it, I'll share this with the class.
Do YOU want to rewatch all of Phil's QSMP Hardcore Deity Lore in one big binge like a total fucking masochist? LOOK NO FURTHER!
In order to drag my friends into Bird Man Brainrot Hell with me, I made a bullet list of all the major lore vods with dates and timestamps included for a streamlined list of what and where to watch!
All you have to do is use this [QPhil Lore Playlist] I made from our beloved Crow Mercy's Phil vods channel and refer to the bullet list below!
Tallulah & Chayanne would've loved this day (Sept 15th 2023, 8:00:15)
What Happened to Me? (Sept 24th 2023, 1:09:11-1:15:00)
Finding the Line (Oct 27th 2023, 2:50:00-3:03:00)
A discovery… (Dec 6th 2023, 2:19:47 to 3:15:26)
Another discovery (Dec 15th 2023, 2:42:07, 2:57:18, 5:37:39)
Healing (Dec 18th 2023, 3:07:10, 6:10:59)
Xmas Event & A New Threat (Dec 20th 2023, 3:11:25, 3:36:33 to 3:42:46, 6:19:06)
A message or a warning? (Jan 12th 2024, 7:53 to 19:04)
The date is fast approaching (Jan 17th 2024, 2:21:31, 6:08:28)
oh boy oh gosh it's island time (Feb 21st 2024, 6:21:12)
A Strange Gift (Feb 23rd 2024, 2:15:11 to 2:20:11) (OPTIONAL: WATCH WHOLE VOD)
Greed comes with a price (Feb 26th 2024) (WATCH WHOLE VOD)
Break past the void (March 1st, 2024) (WATCH WHOLE VOD)
ALTERNATIVELY!!
If YouTube is giving you trouble for one reason or another, YOU'RE IN LUCK!!
Kristin uploads all of Phil's vods to an archive on his Twitch, so you can actually find ALL these vods on Phil's Twitch channel too! I did this myself just a few days before posting this, they're all uploaded and relatively easy to find!
In order to do it this way, all you have to do is go to here on Phil's Twitch, then refer to the dates in the above bullet list in the vod titles. Once you find the right vod, just refer to the timestamps above and go nuts!
Happy binging and reliving Bird Man Trauma! :D
And as a bonus note: The vods in my playlist that AREN'T major Hardcore Deity Lore moments are other significant QSMP Lore moments Phil was involved in or present for, so you could actually binge the entire playlist chronologically if you want to relive it all! :)

China’s Ministry of Commerce announced Thursday that export controls on antimony would take effect Sept. 15. Antimony is used in bullets, nuclear weapons production and lead-acid batteries. It can also strengthen other metals.
“Three months ago, there’s no way [any] one would have thought they would have done this. It’s quite confrontational in that regard,” Lewis Black, CEO of Canada-based Almonty Industries, said in a phone interview. The company has said it’s spending at least $125 million to reopen a tungsten mine in South Korea later this year.
Tungsten is nearly as hard as a diamond, and used in weapons, semiconductors and industrial cutting machines. Both tungsten and antimony are on the U.S. critical minerals list, and less than 10 elements away from each other on the periodic table.[...]
China accounted for 48% of global antimony mine production in 2023, while the U.S. did not mine any marketable antimony, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s latest annual report. The U.S. has not commercially mined tungsten since 2015, and China dominates global tungsten supply, the report said.[...]
The U.S. has sought to restrict China’s access to high-end semiconductors, following which Beijing announced export controls on germanium and gallium, two metals used in chipmaking.
While tungsten is also used to make semiconductors, the metal, like antimony, is used in defense production.
“China has a declining tungsten production, but tungsten is absolutely vital, far more than antimony, in military applications,” said Christopher Ecclestone, principal and mining strategist at Hallgarten & Company.
He expects China will put export controls on tungsten by the end of the year, if not in the next month or two.[...]
Starting in 2026, the U.S. REEShore Act prohibits the use of Chinese tungsten in military equipment. That refers to the Restoring Essential Energy and Security Holdings Onshore for Rare Earths Act of 2022.[...]
China is acting more in retaliation “against what it views as an intrusion into its national interests,” Markus Herrmann Chen, co-founder and managing director of China Macro Group, said in an email.
He pointed out that China’s Third Plenum meeting of policymakers in July “put forward a completely new policy goal of better coordinating the entire minerals value chain, likely reflecting the further heightened supply importance of ‘strategic mineral resources’ for both business and geoeconomic interests.”
