ok, feeling the teensiest bit better, and now I really think it's unfair that Cartoon Network UK shows Jade Armor only 3 times a day - what about the rest of the day??? what else am i gonna watch on CN now? we wants more Jade Armor reruns dangit
Hey there! @aaghht here! I made this blog as a fan of Team TO's Jade Armor because I think it's one of the best teen-action cartoons with an asian lead to come out in a while :) Because the show aired it's final episodes here during the summer, and I finally got to see all of them this august, I've now had time to browse what's online about the show without getting spoiled.
I'll be posting character profiles and other stuff I've seen and noticed from official channels here!
I'll also be adding my sibling @anshiel here since I managed to get her to watch it too and now we have watched all of it thru together. Fun show!!! Keep your eyes open on the official instagrams with the hope of more to come ;D
To my knowledge these are usually pretty temporary. Though I imagine with how often Jessie and James get zapped, theirs are a bit more severe/long lasting. They cover them up with makeup in the places where the scars would show.
Ash's go away quick. They're usually on his hands because he has, willingly given Pikachu his hand to shock in order to help him think, get an idea or wake up (this is a thing he actually does in the show LOL)
i want to draw jade armor fanart so bad, but i'm just out of funny ideas lol (not i the mood for other mood of art)
the finale was so good i am actually wondering how the hell this show managed to tell this fun of a story in 25-26 episodes (i might be counting them wrong, but im pretty sure there are 26)
this post is fearmongering. the results of this study are concerning and should definitely be a matter of public discussion, but this is certainly not the conclusion the researchers came to.
the point of the study was to assess the risks of exposure to toxic metals- something one of the co-authors notes are “ubiquitous” fwiw- via menstrual products. Their research confirmed that these metals are indeed present in tampons, but no further conclusions are drawn. it is possible the metal entered into the cotton from the soil, which is a well-known phenomenon; cotton is so good at lifting heavy metals that it has actually been suggested as a part of the solution for revitalizing polluted ground.
the authors conclude with an acknowledgement that the study should be repeated- their sample size was 60 tampons- and a suggestion that further testing ought to be done to indicate whether or not these metals can even leech out of the tampon in the first place, let alone whether or not such leeching could occur at levels deleterious to human health.
there is, in fact, a body of research- too small, for sure, but much larger than this single study- indicating that long-term proper tampon use has no observable negative impact on health. i am grateful and thrilled that more research is being done and i hope that this study is the first of many on this line of questioning, but i am really frustrated at this post and the response it got.
obviously, if this study alters your approach to menstrual health, more power to you. consumers should be informed-risk-takers, and menstrual health is double-obviously a very personal choice. but it definitely wasn't the researchers concluding that you ought to “avoid using tampons at all cost," only this tumblr user did. the lead author of the paper, in fact, specifically says that she hopes people do NOT panic about the results.
(the notes of the post were disappointing. people affirming that they knew they were right to be suspicious of tampons all along, or even recommending alternatives that actually have very little to no research regarding the safety of long-term use, etc. it’s a different conversation, but categorical distrust of tampons is old-school misogyny. you certainly shouldn't wear them if you don’t want to, but there is nothing inherently scary or wrong about them, and people who prefer them are not being reckless or crass.)
((if you're really worried about exposure to heavy metals, you may want to turn a critical eye to fast fashion, as an aside))
"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.
