So uh. Since it feels kind of like "when, not if" twitter just becomes unusable, my discord handle is standard_deviant

so feel free to add me preemptively. Probably won't check on it as long as twitter is up though

Cancer cells are so dangerous because they are functionally reverting to their embryonic state. They behave very similarly to embryonic stem cells

Had this argument the other day with someone who claimed a trans woman's breasts, which were solely the product of HRT with no surgery, were somehow "fake" and distinct from any other breasts. When I provided links to medical sites I was told the entire profession had gone "woke"

Someone sexually harassed her about her butt and I guess gprime is saying it's her fault for wearing a dress while having an ass

It's actually safer to pour a bucket of dirt vs a bucket of water onto a large flame. Water only works if you have enough volume to smother the fire; otherwise it actually feeds it. Not like these racists would know that.
@iamrockytee
I'm autistic and babies crying is a big miso trigger for me. That's why I plan ahead for flying because just like us, sometimes parents gotta get places! Don't turn this into a bizarre thing
This screenshot is of a tweeter claiming that someone shot his wife's Tesla. The attached image shows some mild gravel damage, nothing like bullet holes.
@BadMedicalTakes
I got my period at 11 and it's not unheard of to get pregnant before your first period. 16 is such a weird suggestion? But I guess that means this person isn't looking at teen girls, so...win?

@MediClit
Yeah this is. Not helping anyone at all! I say this as an intersex woman with a very stigmatized labia shape: shaming anyone's labia will not make mine more normalized! It just compounds the issue of shaming! This also seems weirdly cruel to victims of FGM imo

Because masks work best when the other individual is wearing them, "the science" demonstrates that the vaccines are decreasingly effective with each new strain, and regardless of case severity 1 in 5 people are ending up with long covid. It's not fucking theatrics.

Tell me you've never been around toddlers without telling me you've never been around toddlers. There's nothing creepy about this tweet, little kids are just learning about other humans and are also extremely weird.

Nic idk if you know this, but Ogun is the Orisha (Yoruba deity) of warfare and iron. He invoked a god to smite you, that's how angry he is
@the_tweedy
A lot of parents get really upset when their kids express curiosity about these things. I think they're worried about offending. And obviously I can speak for everyone, but I actually think it's pretty great when they ask their kind-hearted questions! I'd rather they learn about
I stg everyone with EDS has at least one ridiculous injury story. Mine is that a week and a half ago I was so bad at walking that my leg broke. What's yours?

There is evidence that lower back treatment from chiropractors can be helpful - about as effective as a lower back massage. But insurance tends to cover chiro instead of massage. Can still be risky with disk issues or tethered cord, but less risky than cervical manipulation
@chronicallybeee
Hate that "just wait" line. Like first of all my joints are worse than yours, second of all why tf would you tell me "your pain is going to increase immeasurably, have fun!"
@jtrebach
The so-called "fixes" for these for me would be having someone else's brain (antidepressants), risky esophageal surgery that often fails (PPIs) + traveling back in time to prevent my collagen mutation somehow (PPIs, painkillers, antihypertensives). I'll stick with pills, thanks!

I'm sorry, women don't have bones, muscles, lungs, breathing, blood, ligaments, tendons, or hands??? What does this guy think women are, exactly?

Yes, exactly. And I guess shoe pointed out that it was a completely regular sheath dress (not that it matters, I don't care if it was a micro-mini, you don't harass people!) and gprime is mad

That's usually a solid indicator but it's not a guarantee. I've know a few people who bled a few months in, and one individual who bled all the way through. Thankfully all the babies were fine

For anyone reading this, if you have an oil/grease fire, remove it from the heat and either cover with a tight-fitting lid or pour a ton of salt (not from a shaker, from the container) on it to smother it.
@CaelanConrad
I can't find the post but someone was on the phone and used the word f*ggot and an older woman glared at them so they pointed at themself and mouthed "I'm f*ggot"
@KhalilJeries
Yeah, the claim that we killed him has been used to murder us for millennia now. Thank you for taking the time out of your mourning to speak out, Khalil. It's a testament to the depth and breadth of your kindness.
@mmisandrypilled
She never said the vulva produces mucus. She said the vagina does, and unless you're post-menopausal, that's pretty much always true. Why do you think your panties get bleached in the crotch, pussy magic?
@StellaParton
Amazing to me when people ask why Harry sided with Meghan over the rest of his family, as if he didn't have to watch this exact media treatment literally kill his mother???
Keeler tried to out a queer NDN with no actual results (doesn't really work when the person isn't in the closet) but like. That's who she is. That's her true self right there. Outing people to their mothers.
@migizikwe_mle
@OnaagoshinAnang
The exhilarating part is that she decided to have my ‘queer ndn’ post front and center in the screenshot for some reason. Like Jackie are you trying to tell something to my mom that she doesn’t know? She’s not homophobic so you’ll have to try harder.
Adhd should really be renamed EDEDD (Executive Dysfunction and Emotional Dysregulation Disorder) but I guess that's a bit of a mouthful huh

I guarantee that whatever you're imagining, it's so much sillier. It started with a bunch of transphobes claiming that standing bottomless to wash period panties in a public bathroom sink is normal woman behavior (please note, it absolutely isn't) and went downhill from there
@BadMedicalTakes
Does he think we can turn it on & off at will? Cuz it really doesn't sound like he's suggesting lube.
It's true that unlubricated sex is more likely to cause microtears in the vagina, increasing likelihood of transmission, but that's frankly the least of concerns with prevention
@DanieTHBee
They gave me IV fentanyl when splinting my leg prior to surgery. I survived. The nurse survived. The casting technician survived.
No word on the waiting room security guard, though.
There's too much to address everything, so I'm just gonna address Kathy's last little point there: Cherokee Freedmen are 100% Cherokee. They are citizens of the Cherokee Nation, and therefore their blood is Cherokee. Whether or not they have an "indian" ancestor (and many 1/?
How can a person support her when she has not rejected the comments by the people from her research team that have posted anti-black, racist comments. She continues to work with them & we are supposed to believe that her research is not biased?
@CynicalEyebrow
@BadMedicalTakes
It's not a real thing that happens. It's absolutely a lie. Without dilation for the first few years, the newly constructed vagina can contract and atrophy similarly to post-menopausal vaginas. That's literally all.

@femboy_fujoshi
Calling a gay man a pervert for no reason other than him being gay is objectively homophobia, regardless of being an "old school lesbian". Is that code "political feminist" like the straight predator Bindel?
Btw if you agree that people like
@KirosAuld
aren't native because they can't enroll, you are explicitly endorsing decades, if not centuries, of anti-Black laws, both tribal and state, intended to delegitimize eastern Woodlands communities. It makes you a racist.
@KirosAuld

@KirosAuld
And while you may be "of descent" you're not Native. Proximity to Natives does not give you the right to call yourself Native. If you are actually Pamunky you'd be enrolled. They only require that one of your parents be enrolled in order to be eligible.
When we say we're against ABA, a lot of people respond, "so you're against teaching 'children with autism' social skills?" And frankly, the truth is far from it. [thread]
You know...haven't seen a single person point out that JKR's tweet calling Black, brown, and trans queers "shit" also said that of intersex people.
Remember that every single anti-trans bill aimed at forcibly detransitioning children has made explicit exceptions to allow for

They really aren't on display. They're just present. That's just what happens when you have large breasts. We can't ask people to dress like nuns just because of how they're built.

I don't know, that second one is genuinely interesting. What are they gonna do with the lobster? How does it lead to you giving them money? So fascinating
