I have a friend who's still highly cautious around covid because she's high risk but she keeps posting all these screenshots of tweets about covid studies on her instagram in an attempt to convince people that covid is still very dangerous
and it's not that covid isn't still potentially dangerous, but one quick google search has allowed me to find every study that she has referenced, and without fail, every single one of them has been working with pre-vaccine, pre-omicron data. the most recent one she's posting about is about cardiac conditions post covid, and wouldn't you know, the entire sample was taken from people who caught covid between march 2020 and january 2021.
this was pre-vaccine, pre-omicron, hell, it was pre-delta variant (remember that one). this was the wild type covid, which our bodies were least immune to. it was the type that was most known to be causing cardiac symptoms and blood clots. besides delta, it was the most deadly. and no one was vaccinated.
so yes, in that group of people, who were unfortunate enough to catch covid during that period, the results of this study are likely very valid- they are at increased risk of heart disease. and that should be talked about and studied more and if those people end up with cardiac symptoms they need to be receiving proper care.
but we should not be assuming, without further study, that these risks are still the same for those who've been vaccinated, or who only caught covid after the omicron variant became dominant (the omicron lineages have been pretty different from the wild type and other pre-omicron variants, so it's worth noting that). like this is a study that must be replicated with a post-vaccine, post-omicron sample before you will even remotely convince me that those cardiac risks are the same as they were before.
and it is driving me crazy that my friend, who is also fucking trained in how to read science, is posting this shit seemingly without looking at the actual papers or thinking about the context at all. like it is driving me absolutely bananas. these posts aren't even like, direct quotes from the papers, they're screenshots of randos on twitter talking about these papers, as if twitter rando knows jack shit about what they're talking about. like it's all well and good to still care about covid but could you at least do it with less of the fear mongering?

Just a random question to my artist followers: does anyone enjoy posting their stuff on tiktok? I can't tell if its just a me thing or if that app and its userbase are the most obnoxious compared to other social media

sorry idk why i keep going back to that fucking “is sabrina carpenter hot” poll filled with tumblr’s most ghoulish misogynistic high school bullies. it’s like looking at a car crash to me. but are all the people saying she’s had so much filler and surgery she looks like an uncanny valley doll… looking at the same sabrina carpenter? like don’t get me wrong i’m sure she’s had some work done because every celebrity has but to me this is literally like, 10% filler 40% natural aging from early to mid 20s and 50% people not understanding quite how much a different & heavier makeup routine can change your face 😭

The absolute LOVE I feel immediately when an attractive female "influencer" takes the time to correct comments praising her "all natural beauty" and she just lists all the procedures and surgeries and upkeep it takes to look like that. Fucking. Thank you. Thaaaaaaaaank. You.

MFs be like "omg the new qunari design is good actually! I'm gonna make a hot, smooth qunari!" OK, admit you're boring then and go away. You obviously don't like cool race designs and just want everything to be human + one quirky feature. Go play with ur barbies because that's all that's fucking LEFT.

Those zoom in make-up mirrors are evil actually because you see all your pores and little pimples or scars much more clearly than normal and it makes you think something's wrong with you
Instagram filters that give you makeup or slightly change your face shape or smooth your skin are obviously evil too because it makes you think that's what people look like and then when you see yourself in the mirror you think something's wrong with you
I especially abhor filters that also change other things (like, normal colour filter, fun colourful makeup, stars or fireworks on screen), but then also subtly change your face shape. You might not even notice it when you use the filter for fun. But it's there and it's going to be in your subconscious memory of what a human face should be if you look at it for too long.

#as far as celebrities who’ve been openly discussing i/p jameela jamil has been on the positive side afaik#what I’ve seen from her has been compassionate & humanizing to ppl in both countries & careful to separate govt from the ppl#some takes I’ve seen that have been iffy & some I disagree with but broadly speaking not the worst#but it feels like she’s losing it over her instagram stories being ‘shadow banned’ posting dozens of stories abt & calling it ‘black mirror#like yeah meta has been heavily criticized for allowing ppl to spread misinfo abt global conflicts so training algorithms to deprioritize#content from accounts that are spamming a whole bunch of sensitive content about an ongoing conflict#it’s not a person at the switch saying ‘you talked about palestine specifically so fuck you’#it’s a algorithm trying to filter content based on datapoints that correlate with a whole bunch of different factors#it could be posting like 20-30 stories in a 24 hour period getting your stories flagged as spam#it could be the algorithm picking up that people click away or mark ‘not interest’ bc they don’t want to see war content from actors#i know i’ve had to actively tell pretty much every platform I’m on repeatedly that I don’t want to see that kind of content on my feed#& yet it still shows up so i get the furstration at the inscrutability of the algorithm & platform inner workings#but the ‘i tried to mute/unmute content & the platform didn’t recognize it’ cuts both ways#and leaning into conspiracism that basically implies the media is being controlled to ‘punish’ ppl for being pro-palestine is dangerous#like yeah that’s the kind of thing platforms *should be deprioritizing*#not content about palestine but the spam & the content with a conspiratorial bent#i/p
