Alrighty I have a queary✨

So I’ve been super inconsistent with it bcs I forget like a total dick-head. But! I’ve been making an effort to add descriptors to my gifs when I add them. The thing is - I don’t write them super factually - I tend to try to make them kinda goofy - with the vibe of the post. But I worry that’s unhelpful.

So for those of y’all who need those please;

Seeing so much misinformation on Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene has inspired me to make this post.

Disclaimer: I am a biologist that is somewhat knowledgeable about weather because I'm afraid of thunderstorms, not a meteorologist.

How do Hurricanes form?

Hurricanes are super destructive weather events that occur in tropical ocean waters. In order for a hurricane to form there needs to be warm-ish water (26 degrees Celsius or 80 degrees Fahrenheit) ranging to 50 meters deep. Hurricanes move in from the east and travel west, bringing in cooler air.

The hot air from the ocean is forced to rise and force a burst of low pressure underneath, which unfortunately creates more heat to fuel the storm.

Wind is blown in from the Sahara Desert (for the US east coast anyway) and moves the pressure wave onwards. When the wind hits the ocean surface it creates droplets and vapor; contributing to the giant storms that hurricanes are associates with

With climate change, ocean waters are getting warmer. Warmer water means a larger pressure change which means more severe storms.

If you would like to know more, I recommend this video on Hurricanes by the NOAA. All pictures are from the Scijinks website!

Anti-Transmedical Transsex

PT: Anti-Transmedical Transsex /end PT

Anti-Transmedical Transsex: someone who identifies as transex/transsexual but is against transmedicalism.

"I have heard that many transmeds use the term transex instead of transgender because they see transness as purely changing ones sex, etc. I identify as this because I do not change my gender, I only change my sex but I am not a transmed and still wanna use the term."

Term and flag created by u/Owl_XCh (link) published on r/XenogendersAndMore (link).

The flower is inspired by the rad-inclusive flowers, and is upside down, inspired by the xenogender star.

Yellow: neutral/intersex. Pink: feminine. Blue: masculine. Black: etc. White: diversity.

@pastellieria congrats on passing peer review

One of my all time biggest pet peeves with historical(ish) fantasy is when the writer constructs a religion with a clear bias that it's stupid and false and therefore only the Stupid People and/or commoners believe in it and all the smart/elite main characters are like, quasi-atheists or otherwise just routinely flout established religious conventions of orthodoxy and/or orthopraxy because they're Too Smart for it or etc.

It's usually an extension of assumptions that people in the past were just less intelligent than in the contemporary, just being like "I know that the sun is a star millions of miles away that the earth orbits, but this ancient religion describes it as a chariot flying through the sky" and not really bothering to learn the context and just (consciously or subconsciously) settling on 'that's a crazy thing to think and was probably believed in because they were Stupid'.

And that whole attitude pisses me off so much. People were as 'smart' 10,000 years ago as they are today. These beliefs aren't just desperate, random flailing to explain phenomena that could not directly be accounted for either, it's not like people just looked at the sun and went "Uhhh I don't know what the fuck that thing is, actually. I guess it might be a chariot or a boat or something?? Yeah let's go with that." and based entire religious practices on this. Every well-established belief system exists within broader contexts of cultural values/subjective perceptions of reality/knowledge systems/etc, and exist as part of a historical continuum of religious practices that came before. Even when not Materially Correct, they have context and internal logic, they're not always dead literal with zero levels of allegory, and they're never a result of stupidity.

The BDS updated their boycott list

Please boycott these companies. We know from the past that boycotts work! Boycott what you can and don't boycott what you can't (example, Chevron is one of the only gas stations in my town and amazon is one of the few places that delivers to my house).
