daydreaming about the academic papers I want to write to procrastinate on the academic papers I'm supposed to be writing
#I would LOVE a lit review of all the different papers and surveys that have attempted to assess the percent of the population that's asexual#and their sampling strategies and assumptions and what can be gleaned from them all taken together#I also want to write a book called A Queer History of Marriage#that assesses marriage in like. Mesopotamia. Ancient Egypt. Ancient Greece. Han China. Medieval Europe. Classic Maya.#through the colonial Spanish/British in America and into the present day#how different cultures conceived of what 'marriage' meant and who did it and who was allowed to do it and why#and what people who didn't get married did instead#like surprise this is a very aro perspective of the history of marriage and why it is what it is today

I feel like lots of negative stereotypes about polyamory come from ppl reading on the internet about polycules made up entirely of people who probably shouldn't be in a relationship with anybody at all
#people understand that messy monogamous relationships they see on tv arent real#but there really arent very many poly relationships on tv so sampling bias makes the shit they read on reddit seem more believable#most poly ppl in real life are like. fine because thats how population groups work

not to generalize but there's a very specific type of really loud and aggressive middle aged usually-white woman who collects funko pops and is married to an ex-military guy & never shuts up about his duty tours and is an Adult Disney Enjoyer who likes the live action remakes and who obviously votes deep red that i did not think I would have to encounter, much less share a coffee pot with, so often in nonprofit social service work and yet.
#the political spectrum at my work is shocking considering what we do but the variance between departments is itself staggering#im luckily in a department unto myself for the most part and have a lil office so i get to not interact most of the time#but to get to my boss or the keurig i have to go through the finance department and whoo boy#every time they really are always saying some shit#like at every job ive ever worked ive known someone like this its very concerning as a sample size of the population#but here in finance there are not one but two of them#and theyre slowly but surely making each other worse & pulling the rest of the epartment into their orbit bc one is the director#🙃

i think the teaser and the song were done so well because i feel pretty confident that they’re kind of goofy on purpose to be in character but they’re still inspiring in-universe lestat stan feelings in me. every time i see someone saying the song is bad or he looks ugly i want to say HE ATE AND YOU’RE MAD
#i love crimped hair and chartreuse is my favorite color so i am a bad sample population.#but my first reaction watching it was oh we are looking camp right in the eye#iwtv

At least twice a week since July I've had people thanking me for my neuroendocrine cancer education and telling me how often they use the resources I built them :') idk imposter syndrome is ever present and in healthcare you can even have thoughts of "Man, am I spending too much time educating/researching on poorly understood cancers?"
I'm still struggling to decide on format, but I'm currently compiling my research and resources to make a self-guided cancer education resource for my team. I really enjoy my job rn but I think focused cancer education would be nice to springboard into later in life once I finish learning about the inner guts of the ACA. I'm finally healthy enough to consider higher education, but the catch is my employer insurance is the only reason I can get my medical care...and leaving for school to be able to focus more officially on cancer education means I'd lose that medical care security :(
#Creepy chatter#Idk I think I want another few years at least in my field since I can sample each medical specialty but oncology is my babygirl#The emails I get from the NCI..boy you would not believe the insane breakthroughs we've had in just this year#Literally modifying cancer cells to 'I hope we both die' to themselves + treatment resistant cells#Hi hello we are learning to hijack cancer evolution to make it kill itself with a series of kill switches#But first I want to understand this busted but improving system and how to protect affordable care for the most vulnerable populations#I learn the jargon. I break the jargon. I make an education series. Repeat lol...#Anyway biochem is my fun thought for a major and then focusing it into an oncology arm#Or maybe just cellular biology to learn more about immune checkpoints + mRNA revolutions#Last time I seriously thought abt going back school I was 22 and got diagnosed with Forever Expensive Sickness#🧍Me when I...me when I want to work w cancer closer but my health is too expensive to maintain w school 🧍🧍#So I focus in the ACA until I can do school ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ do good where you are rn and all that#Cw medical#Cw cancer#Sorry forgot my tags lol...during my work day it's easy to forget

sorry but intentionally not including an "N/A" or see results option on a poll is ignorant of human nature, pointlessly spiteful, and actively shooting yourself in the foot
#congratulations: youve reinvented virtue signalling by giving white leftists a way to feel like theyre doing activism by Not Clicking Button#humans r fundamentally curious enough to want to know what a poll's results are#but generally not patient/interested/organized enough to save a link for up to 7 days just to come back and look at results#are people who click anyway doing something wrong/unkind? sure! but an extremely small thing in the grand scheme#like this is literally a get off the fucking internet question too#if you ACTUALLY want to gather data with a controlled sample population then organize an actual survey#nobody is sinning against you for clicking button on internet! sorry get over yourself!#you are actively and intentionally creating the circumstances to give yourself inaccurate data#and then acting like everyone else has wronged you#standing in a river getting mad at the fact the water moves#take a fucking walk man. ...i also need a fucking walk.#journal

At this point the sad truth i'd have to lay onto all moon keeper miqo'te roleplayers, is that they aren't the persecuted minority sad face meow meows yall seem to think they are.
like, going around and looking out for whos who, a solid majority of moon keepers in gridania are either wood wailers themselves or otherwise part of the godsbow or twin adders. discounting infinitely respawning generic enemies of course, cause that'd be like saying the redbelly wasps are representative of all duskwight elezen.
#ffxiv#final fantasy 14#miqo'te#keeper of the moon#gridania#discourse i guess#its just kinda annoying cause its always about moon keepers#when there are so many other angles to talk about here#like tell me about the native lalafell or roegadyn populations in gridania#most gridanian roegadyn seem to be sea wolf descended well most gridanian lalafells seem to be dunesfolk descended#the small sample size we have of them atleast#or what about the sun seeker miqo'te population in gridania#its outweighed by the moon keeper population#but they seem to have melded into gridanian society as well. do one of the tribes call the shroud home i want answers square

i wonder what their accents are meant to convey
#liveblogging#series: arcane#ep: 1.2#rank perhaps?#like the ppl with english accents so far are all either leaders of their community and/or upper class#i cant distinguish specific regions very well cause im not from these places so my knowledge is limited but even that seems to be a factor#vander's and the male enforcer leader's accent seems to be some kind of middle-class english accent based on what i know#no idea of the region tho#the kirammans accents are incredibly posh and while theyre not the richest ppl in piltover theyre undeniably upper class#its also the accent that gets associated with english ppl (esp royalty and the like) in media quite often#and the kind that ppl usually try to imitate when asked to do an english accent#which in my mind is contextually important considering theyre actually born in piltover#unlike mel and heimerdinger who have more of a londoners(?) accent#neither of whom were born in piltover and also have supremely high positions in the governing body#which is where the royalty of england is located; where a lot of media focus regarding england is located#where the most diverse population in england is; and where there tends to be a lot of tourists; travellers; and other ephemeral populations#silko hasnt shown up much yet so i'll edit this later when i hear more of him#i cant really distinguish any particular regional american accent so far but regardless theyve all been more average rank#followers or at the very least of a lower rank than the ppl with english accents#viktor i think was meant to feel ''other'' and perhaps even mysterious with his slavic accent#im not entirely sure what the female enforcer's accent is esp with how raspy her voice is#but it might be british of some kind????? not entirely sure#mmm idk i need more samples im still less than halfway through ep 2 lol#edit: oh silkos accent is a londoners; interesting but also it makes sense considering he more or less runs zaun#or the undercity rather; i keep forgetting they dont call it zaun lol

What is it that causes the average cat owner I cross paths with to choose names like Wilhelmina and Achelous and the average dog owner I cross paths with to choose names like Rumples and Josh?
#i KNOW there are cats named mike out there. i know there are dogs named ... hang on what was stephen king's corgi named again#point being. i know there are exceptions. but *my* sample of the population has a trend#also it has nothing to do with cat people being bookish introverts or whatever they're all equally nerds i assure you#max says things tag

You know what at this point I feel like maybe I just need to either get institutionalised again or start an internship again because I feel like I am getting nothing.
#sorry after going down a rabbit hole i realised that there are a lot of very vague things wrong with most of my characters#and that perhaps i should make. less vague things wrong with them.#like more specific things#and i understand the theory of a lot of conditions but that doesnt mean anything#thats jackshit#and naturally in my life i have met a lot of people with various conditions bu the sample is still fairly limited#ive met people with OCD; with various anxiety disorders; people with various eating disorder; i live with one ed myself; ive met#people with schizophrenia both treated and untreated; ive met people with bipolar; ive met people with schizoaffective;#ive met people in a state of active psychotic episode; ive met people DID and OSDD; ive met people with PTSD;#ive met people with cluster C PDs and people who have BPD like me and ive met exactly one (1) person with NPD (about whom#docs arent fully sure yet)#but thats all. and its like. cool. ok. no idea about cluster A except for me (STPD) and no idea about the lived realities of the rest of#cluster B and no idea about some forms of depression and no idea about a lot of things. so its like. cool. i sure love not knowing.#its like. ok. do i have to get locked up again to meet new kinds of people or?#the thing is that probably wouldnt help i can tell you right here right now thered be like uuuuuh 50 % ED recovery people;#25 % affective disorders; including like one bipolar person probably; 15 % OCD patients and 10 % of undiagnosed people#sent there for a diagnosis#thats actually literally the average population of a psych ward. been there three times happens every time#i mean im exaggerating but you get me

i thought we were reblogging those 'reblog for a bigger sample size' polls for fun. snowball sampling for me and my friends. and the person writing a paper about monsterfucking. are we exiting containment
#bad data do not do as i do#*doing polls for fun. not the monsterfucking paper. it knows its sample population and i think it rules

tbh i know ppl have said cn players are speaking up but i don't actually know how true that is lmao. if hoyo took the initiative to make brown people actually real in game maybe they'd learn that pretty characters =/= pale skin but 🧍♀️
why i say this is like: (last time i checked) on twitter the english drip marketing has gotten vastly fewer likes/rt's than clorinde, emilie, or sigewinne's etc, while the jp twitter drip and bilibili posts have gotten basically the same amount of likes/shares as 4.7's. also maybe my search keywords are wrong but if you search natlan dark skin/纳塔黑皮 (on bilibili: video sharing site): there are some videos posting edits from twitter, and a fair amt of people comment 'oh this actually looks good' or 'oh not bad' etc, but there are also people just. being straight up racist, a good amount of people just writing this off as global fans organizing drama, and the usual retorts of 'just go play/make another game, genshin's supposed to cater to chinese aesthetics/beauty standards anyways' and im like. 🧍♀️
#it's heartening seeing people say oh x actually looks good/better w tan skin! < for a lot of the brown edits being reposted#but im also mostly sure tan/brown is the darkest they're willing to go ......#< ignoring that ka.china's intro uses a swahili word. ignoring that talking stick has a bunch of african refs#anyways. im glad (at the en backlash) i guess i just don't like false hope. also i really dont think gnsn's going to change anything even#if all cn fans collectively yelled at them. which isn't happening#i probably just wont talk about 5.x until the storyline is done#ramblings!#trying so hard to censor things so it doesnt show in tags; im just like. disappointed but not surprised. like from my limited literacy#if they make 5.x charas darker like how most edits have been making them; a lot of (cn) people would be like . oh not bad#but theyre not going to beg gnsn to change it after theyve already released the pale versions just to be '''''''''politically correct''''''#so then it's just the company. people are either neutral or liking the darker skinned edits so gnsn couldve not been a coward and made them#darker and they wouldn't have lost a significant amt of money. but like what the fuck is this#also my impressions may be skewed my sample size is limited and may not be representative of the population etc

first time I did golden wasteland, made my way to the temple and saw that manta be absolutely devoured by the sky shrimp I logically concluded based on the evidence available to me. That krills are only dangerous to mantas.
six seconds later i got my ass handed to me. 
#i stood there in the red light i see you countdown like well. you’reputting on an awfully big show for a non-manta#good thing u want harm me 😊 then well.#Listen I was not about to generalise beyond my sample.#How was I to know that we were both creatures of light and thus representatives of the same population. anyway#sky cotl

tumblr and my own social circle really do have me thinking that being autistic asexual and trans is just. normal. a bit overcommon, even! until i go literally anywhere else in the world and am reminded that being any one of those things alone makes me a minority. to say less of combining the three.
#tumblr poll that's like 'are you acearo'#and 70% respond yes#and i see the sample size is 20k and damn that's a lot!#there's so many acearo-specs in the world!!#we must be more common than I thought!#...... that's 0.000175% of the world population
