Kallitsounaki and Williams found that transgender participants did in fact report alexithymia symptoms at an elevated rate, compared to their cisgender peers. This effect also held strong when eliminating all Autistic participants from analyses, which indicates that even non-Autistic transgender people are worse at naming and recognizing their feelings than non-Autistic cisgender people are. The study’s authors concluded from these findings that non-Autistic transgender people appear to exhibit “subclinical” Autistic traits. “Future studies mighty usefully examine whether alexithymia is a potential “marker” of autistic traits in transgender people who do not meet full criteria for autism,” they write. To put it another way, they believe the alexithymia that non-Autistic trans people report is still caused by (mild) Autism. But this conclusion carries with it a faulty and as-yet untested assumption: that alexithymia must be caused by Autism directly, when in reality it could just be a natural consequence of living in a marginalized and othered body.  Just because a transgender person struggles to name and recognize their emotions doesn’t necessarily mean they’re Autistic. It could very well be the case that both Autistic people and transgender people struggle to understand our feelings, because we have experienced a lifetime of questioning and invalidation. And if we look to the broader research literature on alexithymia, we see even more evidence that this might be the case. … It’s not just Autistic people who have been found by researchers to experience alexithymia. Sufferers of trichotillomania, or compulsive hair-pulling, have repeatedly been found to be alexithymic too. Some research also links alexithymia with early exposures to trauma and abuse. People who do not know they are pregnant (also known in the literature as pregnancy-deniers) tend to be alexithymic, for instance. They also tend to be victims of childhood sexual assault. These two things are not unrelated. We know that when vulnerable people (particularly children) are sexually assaulted, their minds tend to dissociate from that upsetting reality. Their consciousness “floats away” to a point elsewhere in the room, or they pretend the abuse isn’t happening to them or that the world around them is not real. Additional research has also found that alexithymia is associated with early childhood abuse, especially emotional and physical neglect. It makes sense that a mind that’s well practiced in the art of detachment might stop checking on its internal states entirely. A body that has often been the site of your abuse is one you can’t dwell in comfortably. If you can’t count on your caregiver to provide you with regular nourishment, there’s little reason to make note of your own feelings of hunger. And if your cries for help or comfort are never heard with sympathy, you may quickly learn not to even recognize sadness within yourself at all. These findings also dovetail with an observation that Kallitsounaki and Williams make in their paper, but don’t take much time to dwell on: they found that the cisgender men in their sample were significantly more alexithymic than cisgender women. This finding also suggests that there are environmental and social factors that contribute to a person’s awareness of their own emotions — and populations that are discouraged from sharing how they feel are far worse at understanding their feelings as a result.

Women aren’t innately more attuned to emotions than men are. They’re simply expected to be more emotionally aware, and given more tools to make emotional recognition and expression possible. Men, on the flip side, are denied the freedom to be openly emotional, and also relieved of the responsibility to look after their own or others’ feelings. This results in them understanding emotions a whole lot less. If we can’t assume that the alexithymia of men is innate, then we shouldn’t assume it’s innate in Autistics or transgender people either. For just as men are discouraged from openly crying, asking for help, or showing other signs of supposed “weakness,” both transgender people and Autistics are actively discouraged from expressing discomfort or seeking emotional aid for ourselves.

Because of reasons, I need to know the questions and (correct) answers for a Royal Navy lieutenant's exam from the Victorian era.

Ideally I would like to see the questions and correct answers for an exam from between 1845-1850 but at this point I'll take anything from the 19th century as a whole.

So far I've found...

• a late 18th/early 19th c. naval officer's papers that include sample questions, but not answers. • an item in the Greenwich Maritime Museum's collection called "Examination paper for rank of lieutenant, Royal Navy." and described as, "Likely the exam De Chair sat in order to quality as a lieutenant, the paper provides an example of the lieutenant's exam. The paper includes translations to and from French and practical navigation. It also includes sundry annotations of navigational calculations." However there is no photograph of the paper online, nor is it currently on display at the museum. I have emailed the curators for more information but am still waiting on a reply. • that one episode of Horatio Hornblower.

Any further information or nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So, a new anti-AI-art post is making the rounds because of course it is, and while I have not breached the paywall to read the paper, I do think the summarized version of it the author provides has some holes worth poking.

Past the break, because this gets long.

Anyhoo, their core argument is that AI art people are just capitalists who see art as a profitable object and do not exhibit those four fundamental values of But like... this is just casual observation, but I have seen a lot of those values in the AI art community amongst itself.

They share models and tips on how they use the tool! I rarely see them doing it for lucre! I see creators who've used AI art to integrate into other mediums they've worked with! I've seen people with major motor disabilities welcomed. I have seen authenticity in garbage AI art; in aggregate from singular creators.

There is a reason I say that to make good AI art, you need to approach it like an artist.

And like, AI art has genuine logistical issues that make it uniquely difficult to integrate into communities, the "flooding" that turbofucked Deviantart and the harassment problem that is "spite models,"

But beyond that I think it is not just, as they blithely dismiss, "AI art can be used for good" but I think it is even possible to integrate AI artists into communities that share those values. Because I have seen those values at work in AI art communities.

There are simple things that can be done, like normalizing charging as much for AI art commissions as traditional ones, or normalizing showing one's prompts when possible or observing DNP (Do not prompt) lists and so on!

But there's a desire to put up a wall there, specifically because of the fear of original sin, because of the unique nature of the process and the dubious origins of the programs; even if you didn't pay a dime to use them.

Which like... even if the privacy issues side of things is relevant and one I see validity in, in terms of the issue of "they didn't get permission," as friend of the blog @o-hybridity pointed out when we were discussing this, the assumption of the need for permission to adapt (Which is also what annoyed me in this post) is basically a cargo cult for how IP law treats art, attempting to integrate the framework of IP law into a system of communal production that IP law is more or less designed to kill.

Like, the idea that permission is required for derivative works (A notion also in this post I am very annoyed by) resembles none of how art has actually worked in-practice for all but the tiniest sliver of our species' existence, it's tunnel visioned in a way that ignores; say; the history of things like the blues, or jazz, or sampling, or folklore, or hell even fanfic.

Most art has historically been built on top of other art, without permission, because requiring a contract for every derivative work (Especially those "orphan works" without known originators) would make it unworkable.

IP rights becoming essentially inherent to art at the moment of creation and making those contracts almost entirely mandatory have basically killed a lot of models of how art is made within the commons via that sort of unauthorized-adaptation, and IDK about you, but this is an abomination, and the loss of those modes of production wouldn't be fixed by making it a tier system as the article proposes.

The notion of eternal tiered permission ignores that history of art by way of trying to shove the means of communal production into an ideological framework it can't exist in, due to the collective failure to produce better ways of helping creators make a living.

I would also say the idea of tiers system obfuscates the real issue; which is power not permission; and the need for collective organization of labor-power as well; by way of trying to hybridize it with that folk politics system of contracts that dilutes it, but that's its own digression.

But beyond that very long digression, inherent in that fear of the powerful working without permission, I feel there's a conflation of "small-scale creators shitposting or integrating AI art into their work" and "megacorps that want to replace you with an intern on Fiverr and a copy of Stablediffusion," which I think is best evidenced by the insistence on calling all AI art supporters techbros, conflating the small-scale users of the technology with the makers even though we don't do that with; say; artists who use fucking Adobe and the way they normalized walled gardens in their field.

I am not saying the techbro assholes don't exist or even that they aren't prominent, I probably don't run into them because I hate Twitter, but I am saying there are AI art communities and users that are not Like That, and that it is possible for AI art to exist within those norms.

It is not No True Scotsman because, even if it is not the norm (Which I am doubtful on) it is simply a demonstration that is possible and; with some effort and outreach akin to groups like @are-we-art-yet, doable.

But there's a further problem, that their argument heavily relies on the idea of moral rights, as evidenced by their image morally quantifying re-using art. But moral rights are not usually how we enforce most of these issues in a legal sense, in the US they do not even exist in a legal sense.

So their communal rules, drawing from moral rights, have no real material power. At least, aside from strikes, but the small online artisan community is not protected by them in a lot of ways I think are a part of the problem, but that's its own tangent so moving on.

Their argument on operating procedure, if it were to be truly materially effective by legal means, would be implemented by the mechanisms of copyright, which would be merrily smash those communal rules with a hammer, because those rules are scrublord shit in the world of raw power.

And if they don't... well, a wall can only hold for so long, and I think keeping workers within AI art away from the solidarity that is extremely doable is going to bite people in the long run. For an example of that, see how CGI's disrespect as an artform lead to it being wildly undercosted and used to drive out the union-run practical effects folks.

And they have no tools against it because, again, power does not give a shit about your communal rules, and conflating small creators with the assholes in power isn't helping.

Like, you're making the same argument artisans in things like the Arts and Crafts movement or the Luddites made back during the rise of factories, while forgetting that they fucking lost.

And Karl Marx had some ideas why wrt how mechanization uses raw power to make the displacement of individual artisans inevitable, even if I think the way people use them in response to this issue is... wildly unhelpful and cruel.

Like, it's still shitty to say "You're destined to lose your livelihood unless the revolution (Which we are bad at convincing you will happen) happens, no we won't help lol," as I've seen from those in my community.

I think the solution to traditional/digital art surviving if AI art is the existential threat it says it is (Which I have my doubts about) is unite or die, which dovetails into my ideas on the Creative Commons in a way I need to write on further one of these days.

But like... what I'm trying to say is, in all my experience, the way they describe the values of the art community are fundametally not opposed to the practice of AI art, not the people I have seen, and I think the efforts to treat that as untrue is unhelpful at best.

Praxis Study Tips

As someone who has studied for 5 Praxis exams, here are the tips I have accumulated over the years!

Confirm that you even need to take these exams. Every state is different and has different requirements. I didn't realize that when I started studying for Special Education (even though that's not what I'm doing now).

Decide on paper, digital, or both. Everyone has their own system that works best for them. I personally prefer paper because I like to hand-write things and use Google Docs for diagrams and pictures I cannot include on paper.

You don't need to buy companion books. Just know that the Study Guide offered by the Praxis website will not have the answers for anything other than the practice test they provide. I didn't purchase them and passed every Praxis I took, but if you want to purchase it for your own peace of mind, I would suggest you do it. :)

I would start by taking the practice test and look through explanations after. It will give you a very general idea of what the exam prioritizes, what to specifically look for when you are studying, and generally the types of questions/wording to expect.

Pace yourself and just do one section a day (or session, whatever works best for you!) Don't burn out while studying! If it helps, don't schedule the test before you feel like you are fully done studying, that's what I did. Also, side tip: The discussion questions at the end of each section are generally connected to the questions from the section you're studying. I matched the discussion questions to the study guide components so I didn't write anything that I had already written. That being said, if writing things multiple times works for you, do that! :)

Include strong examples for both the writing prompts and multiple-choice questions. These will help you understand the concepts and give you a better chance at correctly answering the multiple-choice questions. And of course it'll make your writing stronger, meaning you'll score more points in those sections (Not all Praxis exams have writing, but those are weighted differently). Also, side-tip: Use every resource available to prepare for the writing portion. Study the samples and try to include those in your responses.

Quizlet is always a great source to help you study too. I used Quizlet for more examples of questions so I could be better prepared. Also, if there is a practice test you can take when you register for the exam, take it and study that too!

When you register for the exam, make sure you also get the accommodations you need.

The Praxis is timed. Take the tutorials seriously to familiarize yourself with how to navigate the testing environment. Also, I would go through all the questions you can answer quickly that don't require reading passages and then go back and answer passage-based ones. Take some time to review your answers too! Also remember that you don't have to take the whole time that's allowed. Trust your gut, you know more than you think you do! :)

Don't take the score personally, especially if it isn't what you wanted. You have unlimited attempts but have to wait 4 weeks before your next one. If you do need to retake it, just know that you'll do better each time.

Generally, it takes a week for multiple-choice only scores to come back, and 3 to 4 weeks if it includes writing. Be patient, even if it's hard.

You will do great! If anyone has any tips they want to include too, please feel free to comment. :) Happy studying!

Research on atomic nuclei and radioactivity -

The atomic nucleus serves as the very core of each atom, comprising positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons. The atomic number, which is determined by the number of protons, ultimately defines the element in question. It is when the nucleus becomes unstable that we witness the phenomenon of radioactive decay. Through this process, unstable nuclei emit ionising radiation—manifesting as alpha, beta, or gamma particles—each possessing unique characteristics in terms of their ionising capabilities and penetrating power.

Radioactive decay leads to a transformation in the nucleus, resulting in the conversion of one element into another, a process known as nuclear transmutation. The rate of this decay is governed by a probabilistic rule, encapsulated in the concept of the half-life, which quantifies the time required for half of a given sample of radioactive material to undergo decay. Such a process is inherently statistical, with each individual nucleus exhibiting random behaviour, though large quantities of atoms permit predictions regarding the overall decay rate.

Detection of this radiation is accomplished through various means: for instance, the use of cloud chambers, which render visible the paths of charged particles; photographic plates, which darken upon exposure to radiation; or ionisation chambers, which detect the ionisation of air molecules caused by incoming radiation. The extent of radiation protection required varies based on the type of radiation: alpha particles, for example, can be stopped by a mere sheet of paper, while beta particles necessitate materials such as aluminium for shielding. Gamma rays, with their high penetration power, require more substantial shielding, often involving dense materials such as lead or thick concrete.

Radioactivity, though a natural phenomenon, also holds immense practical utility across various domains. In medicine, it aids in diagnostic imaging and targeted treatments, while in archaeology, it provides techniques such as carbon dating to determine the age of ancient artefacts. Furthermore, it is harnessed in the generation of energy through controlled nuclear fission. However, the inherent dangers posed by ionising radiation demand a rigorous understanding of radiological protection and safety, ensuring that human exposure is minimised.

FFXIV Write, Day 28 - Blunt

Minti does a drug. Ryssthota observes - for science.

CW: Drugs, Hallucinations, Mental Health.

Logbook:

Documentation of the inhalation of one (1) crushed Morbol root, using "rolling papers" provided by the subject.

Intent: Determine if Blue Mage crystal ownership, combined with inhalation of root from a wild morbol root, will grant the inhaler the ability "Bad Breath."

Hypothesis: Morbol root inhalation will not produce new magical abilities in test subject. A hostile encounter is required for absorbing the morbol's aether.

Background: The Encyclopedia Eorzea tells us that "The morbol is a terrible beast that moves upon its slime-covered vines and roots. Highly aggressive, it kills both animals and plants with a combination of its noxious breath and ceaselessly flailing tendrils." (Manne 279) Of importance today is the "sweet-smelling gas" the seedkin produces, which Manne, in her Eorzea Geographic article "Morbol Physiology" (1565) says induces sleep by inhalation.

Blue Mages are spellcasters of infamous reputation, recently introduced to Eorzea and her sister nations by the supposed Mage "Martyn." Observers report that wielders of this magic, found outside the opposites of black and white magic, draw on aether from wild creatures. This enables them to, say, cast Shiva's icy bow attack, or dash forward as aggressively as Ifrit. The practice has become so popular that Ul'dah has opened a Masked Carnivale, a series of challenges for anyone interested in solving puzzling battle scenarios.

Test Subject: Our test subject for today is one Miss Minti Chocolate, a rava viera employed by Gage Acquisitions. She reports to be a semi-accomplished blue mage. "Something to do when I get beast tribe jobs," she told me before the experiment.

Method: Miss Chocolate will be seated in a colorful environment (the basement of Gage Acquisition's headquarters), given a "blunt" seasoned with crushed morbol root, and observed for five hours. Snacks and enrichment through a live aquarium will be provided as requested by the test subject.

-----

Hour One: Subject has fully inhaled the morbol root sample. Early reactions include repeated coughing; feelings of elation; lightheadedness; and repeated staring into the observer's eyes.

Subject comments: "You are so nice. I like your hair. Why is your hair short? It is moving back and forth. *sings* 'Back- and forth. Back- and forth. Our love goooooes-"

Hour 2: Coughing has not stopped, although there is a pause of five minutes in between bouts. Subject is fixated on the live aquarium, and is attempting to feed the "fish with Thancred's face" some of the provided snacks, specifically the bowl of peanuts.

Subject comments: "Nuts. Nuts. Macadamia nuts. Pistachios. Why do nuts taste like nuts? Nuts are nutty nut nuts. NUTKIN! Thancred has a nutkin. NUTS." (Attempting to relay the subject's emphasis on certain words.)

Hour 3: Subject is attempting to show me what a grenade's Self Destruct looks like. Gently redirecting her by asking to see a physical copy of her blue mage spellbook.

Subject comments: "Did, did, did you know you can *Self Destruct* in Kugane, and and and a *white mage* can resurrect you on that lamppost, you don't even need to climb the Tower-"

Hour 4 1/2: Subject has abruptly passed out on the floor. Help from Nyx and Apple Silverberg requested, to raise subject from floor and move them to their private quarters.

Subject comments: Subject is currently incapable of producing speech.

Conclusions: Will have to wait until Miss Chocolate wakes up. I am feeling quite lightheaded myself, and fear that I will begin to see Thancred Waters' face everywhere I look. Not that I would mind, but.

(Miss Chocolate put me up to this. This is partly scientific intent, partly for our mutual amusement.)

ffxivwrite 2023: ring

Sharlayan cake was just like every other kind of Sharlayan fare—bland. Even this wedding cake had about as much taste as chewing on cardpaper. The pastel pink fondant was as hard as dried clay, and it wasn’t even sweet. Yuma nibbled on the driest slice of cake she had ever had in her life, and she was reminded of the hardtack she used to have in Rabanastre. 

Professor Tankin and Hinageshi decided to host their wedding in the Searcher’s Meet, and everyone was invited to the impromptu celebration. It was charming in a clumsy, bookish way. Instead of fancy glassware, guests had paper cups full of iced tea and juice. The wedding cake was appropriately pink with fondant roses and fondant doves, bought for about thirty gil at a random greengrocer’s at the last minute. An alchemy student loomed over the punch bowl, stirring something neon green and fizzling. A cluster of anthropology TAs were furiously huffing and puffing into balloons, and a department professor confident in their tenure let loose a dozen mammets blaring wedding ballads at maximum volume. 

The food was mostly take-out from the Last Stand, and along with her slice of boring cake, Yuma also had a small plate of popoto wedges and a paper cup of fizzy green drink. She took a curious sip, and found that it was flavored like grapes of all things. 

Hinageshi, the beaming bride, looked radiant in her wedding dress. One of her friends wore a moogle hat and acted as the officiator moogle. She brought out the rings, and the bride and groom put them on. They were silver bands fitted with gently glowing crystals, elegant in their simplicity. 

After the Scions publicly disbanded, Yuma had helped around the Studium gathering samples for various professors, among them Professor Tankin and Hinageshi. Hinageshi had always apologized profusely for asking Yuma to travel around, but Yuma was sick and tired of the sages at Physis Technon constantly fussing over her wellbeing, and was more than happy to have to any excuse to get away. When the party died down around midnight, Tankin and Hinageshi loaded Yuma with all the leftovers as well as a good chunk of the wedding gifts as thanks for the help she provided them. There were gift cards for various shops in the Agora, as well as practical items such as new pens, pencils, notebooks. 

Yuma smiled, and wished them a blessed and eternally happy marriage. Her eyes flicked to Hinageshi’s ring, and some strange emotion bubbled in her throat and caught there. 

Back at her room in the Baldesion Annex, Yuma brushed her hair and thought of what to call this feeling twisting within her. It was bitter, and it stung behind her nose and eyes, and it made her ears flatten back. There was something wrong with that shining ring. There was something wrong with that happy little wedding in the Studium, surrounded by peers. 

When she slept, Azem’s memories bled through her soul and into her dreams. Yuma hated witnessing bits of Azem’s life. She always awoke the next morning overcome with the most terrible grief, gasping and sobbing with ice-cold despair. Her, the so-called Bringer of Hope, having the gall to despair alone after promising hope to the greatest manifestation of despair in the stars. Azem had been dead for millenia, but her emotions still haunted her favorite shard like a bit of food stuck between teeth. 

This time, the dream had engagement rings. There were three boxes: one contained a ring with a yellow diamond, one contained a ring with a gleaming amethyst, and one contained a ring with shimmering ruby. They were simple golden bands, too simple for two Convocation members and the Chief of the Bureau of the Architect, but the three of them agreed that these rings were the ones they wanted. 

“Well, I think our matching earrings should more than suffice,” huffed a familiar voice.

Someone laughed beside her. “Oh, come now! Rings will make it official. Er, more official than it already is, of course.”

Themis would be invited, and Erichthonios, but maybe not Lahabrea. Although if Erichthonios was going, there’s no point in not inviting Lahabrea. And if Lahabrea was going, then so would the rest of the Fourteen. Venat was going to be there too, and she would probably bring along her archivist friend from Anamnesis. It would be so funny if they just held the wedding in Akademia Anyder, maybe in Mitron’s spacious lecture hall, and gave party hats to all the shark concepts. 

They split up to personally deliver invitations to everyone. Azem headed to Venat’s home with a bounce in her step, admiring her new ring. 

Yuma jolted awake in filmy gray morning light. Her face was wet with tears, and she felt a desperate presence pulling at her limbs. Groaning, Yuma pushed herself up out of bed.

“Shut up,” she muttered. “Just shut up. Stop crying.”

Yuma knew what both of them wanted. The aetherial sea was right there beneath them. Every day was the same tired song and dance. They would go to the Aitiascope, ask to take the lift down into the sea, and Fourchenault or whoever was on shift would say no. Then they would leave, and come back another time. Leave, and come back.

She couldn’t even find Emet-Selch’s earring on the Tempest floor after she killed him.

Later that day, Yuma found herself at the Agora with her gift cards. She stared at the display of fashion rings Tataru sold at her boutique. With a discount, they sold for just three gil each.

Effective Time Management: One of the key factors in improving your college grades is managing your time wisely. Create a study schedule that allocates sufficient time for each subject.

Active Participation in Classes: Attending classes regularly and actively participating can make a substantial difference. Engage in discussions, ask questions, and take diligent notes. Active involvement helps you understand the material better and reinforces your learning.

Utilize Resources: Take advantage of the resources provided by your college, such as libraries, study groups, and tutoring services. These resources can provide additional insights and perspectives on challenging subjects.

Effective Note-Taking: Develop a systematic note-taking method that works for you. Organized and comprehensive notes can aid in better understanding and retention of the subject matter.

Breaks and Rest: While it might seem counterintuitive, taking regular breaks and ensuring adequate rest can improve your overall productivity. Studies have shown that short breaks during study sessions can enhance focus and retention.

Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep are vital for optimal brain function. A healthy lifestyle contributes to improved concentration and cognitive abilities, which can positively impact your academic performance.

Set Clear Goals: Establish specific academic goals for each semester. Having clear objectives can motivate you to stay focused and organized throughout your studies.

Review and Revise: Regularly review your class notes and materials to reinforce your understanding of the subjects. Periodic revision prevents information from fading and helps in retaining what you've learned.

Seek Clarification: If you encounter difficulties with a particular topic, don't hesitate to seek help from professors, classmates, or online resources. Clarifying doubts early on can prevent misunderstandings from snowballing.

Practice with Past Papers: Practice solving previous years' question papers or sample tests. This familiarizes you with the exam format and helps you identify areas where you need more practice.

Conclusion: Improving your college grades is achievable with the right strategies and a proactive approach. By incorporating effective time management, active participation, and utilizing available resources, you can enhance your academic performance without overwhelming yourself.
