Achievement Unlocked: Take Out The Trash

(Clear out your tumblr likes until they’re empty. Well. Except for those two pesky posts tumblr won’t let you unlike, no matter how often you click the little heart symbol.)

So turns out I got about 400 fake likes according to tumblrs count, but it won’t load more than the two stuck posts for me to access, even with New Xkit off.

I’m pretty proud for tagging and drafting all my likes :D Been working on this for two years now!

FOR PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-25!! IF YOU WANTED TO TRAVEL BUT YOU HAVE LITTLE MONEY, I RECCOMEND USING THIS SITE!

studentuniverse.com

It’s a site for students to travel cheap! This screenshot above is the price ranges for a flight from Columbus, Ohio to London, England one way trip for March. I set ot up as an example.

AS AN AVID TRAVELER, this price is actually quite amazing! One year, i got my (formerly $2000) round about ticket to Japan for only $800! DO YOU FUCKERS KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD FOR THAT CHEAP.

It’s commercial air flight, but that’s not so bad when you CAN ACTUALLY TRAVEL WITHOUT GOING INTO DEBT. HALLELUJA.

So i reccomend this site for all!

REBLOG THIS AND SPREAD THE WORD!

I BET THERE ARE TUMBLR FRIENDS WHO WANTTO MEET EACH OTHER! THIS MAY HELP!

This needs more notes.

I mean, yes, this is true, but I also feel like Peggy has better sense than to volunteer as the guinea pig for an experiment when the previous test subject developed megalomania, noselessness, and terrible case of red cranium. 

Volunteering AFTER Steve successfully beefcaked up without contracting supervillainous side effects is far more sensible — similar to what happens in roboticonography's amazing fic Flames We Never Lit.

"Well, if one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected — those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most! — and listens to their testimony. 

Ask any Mexican, any Puerto Rican, any black man, any poor person — ask the wretched how they fare in the halls of justice, and then you will know, not whether or not the country is just, but whether or not it has any love for justice, or any concept of it. It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” - James Baldwin (August 2, 1924 - December 1, 1987)

Mai and Zuko got married, obviously, and the first thing Mai did when she moved into the Palace was adopt a cat. She named it “Your Honor”, simply so she could go around the palace shouting

“Zuko, I can’t find Your Honor! Zuko, do you know where Your Honor is? Zuko, you have to get Your Honor down from that tree! Zuko, Your Honor is terrorizing the turtle ducks again.”

Winter break is over, school is starting again and exams are coming up. Somehow going back to school after winter break feels less exciting than going back after the big summer break, when you’re excited to see your friends again and your bag is packed with new school supplies. Here are some sites to help you get back on track:

Get motivated and inspired

Get organized

Take care of yourself

Stay on top of your school work

Now, work hard but don’t forget to put your own health first! Your health is more important than school, and I promise you it will be okay. Keep working, and before you know it, the big summer holiday is here!

Anonymous asked:

It is absolutely, without a doubt, unhealthy to be overweight. No amount of denial from you is going to change science. I have no problem with people being fat - I don't think they're worse people than thin people at all. But being fat IS unhealthy. End of story.

And it’s clear you didn’t bother to make the effort to click on them and read them in my response to that post, or you would have seen that one of the three links I provided in that response was an answer to another ask where I linked to a whole list of scientific studies, peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals, that proves that fat does not automatically equal unhealthy.

My second-favorite scientific study that I linked in that post uses data from the Jerusalem Longtitudinal Study.  It found that normal body mass index, rather than obesity, predicts greater mortality in elderly people.

But my most favorite scientific study that I linked in that post was the one that found a genetic variance that not only predisposes the people that have it to remain outwardly thin no matter what they eat or how they exercise, but also predisposes them to store fat around their internal organs.  You know, that method of fat storage that leads to, for those people, all the physical ailments currently blamed on obesity, like diabetes and heart disease.  I also provided links to two articles that summarized this study, in case the terms in the study report are too technical for some people to understand.

So yeah.  It’s actually been proven, by science, that fat does not automatically equal unhealthy.  It’s also actually been proven, by science, that thin does not automatically equal healthy.

tl;dr: Maybe next time you should actually check out and read links people provide before coming up in their inbox and telling them they are wrong and in denial.

Has anyone ever considered that most of the science about obesity is probably biased in favor against obesity? Like who are the ones funding these studies and what are their interests. If you “follow the money” most of these studies are funded by the weight loss industry and some of these people that do the studies have an investment in such. So of course there is an incentive and investment by making studies that show how obesity is supposedly “bad” and actively suppress information that shows that some of these studies have been falsified and obesity is not the harbinger of death that it’s made out to be. Also, these same special interests and corporations control the media as well which is probably why we don’t see the studies that are neutral or favorable toward obesity.

Yeah I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory but this is something I have been thinking about for a while.

Hey, this is MG from TITP.

Yes, we have considered it, and you are absolutely right. We’ve talked about it several times. There are a ton of studies known to have been falsified or diddled. Your submission, along with our response, is in the queue and will be posted when it comes up.

That is true.  Lots and lots of studies have their data either falsified or manipulated in order to reach a desired outcome.  Others use methods that scream incompetence (I remember reading about one study that had a sample size of 12 - twelve! - and purported to show results that applied to the world’s population.  *facepalm*).  That’s one of the reasons I liked the “skinny gene” study, as it’s sample size was 36,626, which gives a much more statistically relevant finding.  Also, they gathered their data from 26 other genetic studies, reducing the chance of selection bias or that any participant in their sample was self-selected.

That skinny gene study also reinforces what so many of us have been saying all along, that fat/size bias in healthcare is dangerous for both fat and thin people.  A doctor could assume, based on a thin person’s outward appearance, that their blood sugar is normal and not bother to screen them for diabetes - when in fact if they have the skinny gene, and they are eating the diet commonly and erroneously ascribed to fat people - high fat and high sugar(and because of the gene there is no outward sign of it) - their body could be building up to full-blown diabetes.  And like many other diseases, not only is diabetes easier to treat when caught early, but complications, death and treatment costs are also reduced.

And then on the other side of the equation, you have doctors either running too many costly tests on fat people that don’t necessarily need to be done (because they assume that if they are fat that they must have all the “fat diseases”), or refusing to treat fat people at all for their health complaints (many of which have nothing to do with being fat) until they “lose 50 pounds.”

They do the awards on Sunday night, so you spend most of the con pretty much a nervous wreck. I was a tower of calm all year, I wasn’t worrying about it, I knew I wasn’t going to win it—I was against Fables! Four time nominee Shlock Mercenary! Stephen King’s son!—I was just looking forward to the bit where they read your name out and you get to go to the Loser’s Party and hang out with people you’ve admired for years. Then I got to the con, and people started telling me how much they loved it and that they totally voted for it. Random strangers told me they voted for it. People I had never met in my life told me they voted for it. And this horrible little voice started saying hey. hey. Hey, lady. Hey, you might win. Hey. I ignored it as long as I could, because hope is DEATH. If I expected to lose, I wouldn’t be crushed. And people kept telling me they voted for it. And you can’t grab them and say “Oh god, don’t tell me that!” because they are kind people doing a kind thing, and it’s all your neuroses at work, nothing to do with them. (I can honestly say that I was saying ‘It’s an honor just to be nominated,” with no irony whatsoever, and when I thanked people for voting, I meant every word. It was just the back of my brain going ohgodohgodmaybewehaveashotohgod…) (Side note: One really gratifying part of this experience was that Worldcon is very much an old-school literary con. Graphic story is not exactly the sci-fi ghetto, but it’s definitely got a lot of single-wide trailers and dogs chained out in the yard. The number of people who came up to me and said “I don’t do comics, but I looked at the ones in the Hugo voters packet and tried to keep an open mind,” was very heartening. I think we are making progress on this.) By late Saturday, I’d lost the fight, and was thinking “You know, it’s possible I might actually….no! Stop thinking that way!” and turning on Kevin at odd moments and going “Tell me I’m not going to win!” Saturday night I laid in bed and visualized the announcements with other people’s names in them, over and over, in a kind of primitive aversion therapy. “And the winner is…Locke & Key!” “And the winner is…Fables!” I was actually kinda hoping it would be Schlock Mercenary, because Howard Tayler is the nicest man in webcomics and we spent much of the con trading vaguely panicky, vaguely encouraging, “I want to win, but if I lose, I hope it’s to you,” comments and hugging a lot. (Seriously, the man is a class act.) “Self-selecting sample,” I muttered into my coffee. “People aren’t going to come up to you and say “Yeah, I totally voted for Fables.” (Although a few people reportedly went up to Howard and said “Yeah, I love your stuff but I voted for Digger.” Still feel a little guilty about that.) I should mention at this point that I was rooming with Mur Lafferty, up for a Campbell award. (Lily Yu got it, and I gotta say she is totally deserving and a brilliant author, and I’m glad she won it if Mur didn’t. We had coffee and sat together at the awards, and she is just profoundly awesome and also so young that you kinda want to shoot her out of a cannon for being nominated for a Hugo, a Campbell, and a Nebula at 22. Lily! If you’re reading this, keep in touch!) So anyway, I’m rooming with Mur, and by Sunday morning, we are both just wrecked. My brain had been lulled into thinking that it was fifty-fifty—me or Howard—since I hadn’t met any other nominees in the category and had decided they didn’t really exist. I wandered around the con feeling like I was in the dentist’s waiting room, waiting to hear if I got a root canal or a pony. Sofawolf, all four of ‘em, were marvelous during this. I spent a lot of time at their table signing and they distracted me nicely and listened to my whining and made soothing noises. I love those guys. A number of other past Hugo winners (and losers) were also very kind to me, Connie Willis and Phil Foglio especially. My mom called to say that her Buddhist group was chanting for me. Um. Thanks, Mom. Sunday afternoon, Mur and I have no appetite, Kevin is wondering if he’s going to throw up (I think he was more nervous than I was, actually) and we finally all have smoothies because we have to eat something or drop dead. I start running through the reactions of every person I had met at the con who already knew who the winners were. Had they made eye contact? Was that one conversation about using the art in the newsletter significant? They would never admit anything, but I wondered if cutting one of them open and reading their entrails would be frowned upon. We have a rehearsal. They show you the stairs and do a quick dry run—go up here, someone will take your arm, walk to here, take the Hugo, stand on this mark, turn to Scalzi (the toastmaster) hand him the Hugo if you think you’re going to drop it, go to the podium, give your acceptance speech, wait for applause, turn, take the Hugo, go to the curtains, there will be people right there, they’ll take your arms (and the Hugo as needed) and walk you down stairs or ramp, here are chairs, here is water, here are tissues, sit as long as you need, take Hugo, return to seat. It was all choreographed very well and seemed based on the principle that Hugo winners are in serious danger of falling down, throwing up, fainting, or weeping uncontrollably. (Much like warnings on labels, every single one of those is probably because Someone Has Tried It Already.) Do not drop the Hugo. The base this year is made of stained glass, by the awesome Deb Kosiba (who made a fabulous stained glass phalloi based on one of my paintings, and gave me a Danny Dragonbreath decal that graces my car to this day.) It will shatter if dropped. DON’T DROP THE HUGO. Kevin bought Mur and I chocolates. They were delicious. We got dressed. Mur’s husband Jim arrived. The four of us stood around in the room going “You look fabulous! Do I look okay?” I checked my mascara approximately eighty-five times to see if it was smearing, and finally just took most of it off. We went to the before party. Elizabeth Bear introduced Kevin to Neil Gaiman. Kevin will recover at some point in the next month, I believe. Then I wandered over, in search of crabcakes, and she introduced me. MR. GAIMAN: Ah. Nice to meet you, hope you win and all that shit. ME: Thank you, it’s an honor just to be nominated and all that shit. MR. GAIMAN: Exactly.

And please note that he starts to disobey the second he’s out of range of Loki’s scepter.  Ditto the squabbling with Tony, which ends as soon as they’re away from that damn thing.

I’m convinced that half the “bad characterization” that we see from Steve in The Avengers is because of Loki’s little glowstick o’ doom.
