[Image description: A photograph of a page from a spiral-bound sketchbook. The page has an illustration of the covid-19 virus and overlaid text that reads, "If I die of Covid-19 - forget burial - just drop my body on the steps of the C.D.C." A caption on the bottom of the page reads, "Ren Basel 2024. In memory of David Wojnarowicz and everyone killed by AIDS, COVID-19, and the government's negligence. Fight back!" End description.]

In 1988, AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz was photographed in a now-famous image, wearing a jacket that read, "If I die of AIDS - forget burial - just drop my body on the steps of the F.D.A.." I am far from the only person to adapt Wojnarowicz's words to COVID-19, but today I am feeling especially angry at the world. Holding the rage in my chest hurts--it hurts so fucking much--so instead, I've put it on paper.

Living through government negligence and community indifference during COVID-19 in 2024 fills me with rage and grief in equal measure, and as a queer person who studies queer history, I can see the echoes of AIDS in the way marginalized communities are being left to die.

As a disabled person who lives in a household that is very high-risk for COVID-19, the C.D.C.'s recent decision to shorten the COVID-19 isolation period feels like a slap in the face.

COVID-19 is not over, and it is vital to take steps to protect yourself and others. Please, follow the work of the People's CDC, an organization dedicated to COVID-19 safety, activism, and education.

Our government has failed us. Our communities have failed us. For those of us who are immunocompromosed or otherwise high-risk, we only have each other.

Remember us. Fight with us. Mask up, get vaccinated, get boosted.

Please.

Doris Loh comments:

It feels awesome to be validated by science.

A recently published study ties together two of my peer-reviewed papers on melatonin regulation of phase separation [1, 2, 3].

How?

In my first paper on melatonin regulation of phase separation, I talked extensively about the post-translational modification of SUMOylation used by melatonin to regulate phase separation https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3921/10/9/1483/htm.

In my third paper on melatonin regulation of phase separation, I explained how melatonin can suppress viral replication by regulating phase separation of the nucleocapsid (N) protein https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/15/8122/htm

Now this peer-reviewed paper published at Nature reports that SUMOylation facilitates nucleocapsid protein phase separation, enhancing the virulence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus [1].

I published the first paper in September 2021, the third in July 2022. Some serious #lohcurve for you. Got MEL?

Trụ implant sic

Trụ Implant SIC có xuất xứ từ Thụy Sĩ là loại trụ có chất lượng tốt nhất hiện nay, đảm bảo an toàn, tích hợp xương nhanh và bền chắc dài lâu.

Xuất xứ của trụ Implant SIC

Trụ Implant SIC là trụ Implant Thụy Sĩ, Implant SIC có xuất xứ từ tập đoàn SIC Invent (Thụy Sĩ), đặt trụ sở tại Basel, được thành lập năm 2003. Tập đoàn SIC có nhiều năm kinh nghiệm trong sản xuẩt và phân phối các vật liệu nha khoa.

Mỗi sản phẩm của SIC Invent đều là tâm huyết và công sức của hàng trăm chuyên gia và các Bác sĩ thuộc Schilli Implantology Circle. Các sản phẩm đã vượt qua những nghiên cứu khoa học được thực hiện tại các trường đại học chuyên khoa hàng đầu tại Bern (Thụy Sỹ) và Freiburg (Đức), cũng như hàng nghìn case lâm sàng thực chứng để có thể đến tay Bác sĩ và bệnh nhân.

Ngày nay, SIC Invent đã có hệ thống 31 công ty con và các đối tác phân phối trên toàn thế giới.

Cấu tạo trụ Implant SIC

Hiện nay, có 4 loại trụ Implant SCI phổ biến được áp dụng cho từng trường hợp cấy ghép Implant: SICace, SICmax và SICtapered, SICwhite về cơ bản các loại trụ này đều có cấu tạo 3 thành phần chính gồm trụ titanium, Abutment (khớp nối) và mão răng để tạp nên răng Implant hoàn chỉnh, tuy nhiên mỗi dòng Implant SIC đều có cải tiến như sau:

Dòng trụ SIC của Thụy Sĩ được sản xuất bằng vật liệu Titanium nguyên chất nên đảm bảo tính an toàn, có độ bền, khả năng chịu lực và chịu nhiệt rất tốt, không bị oxi hóa trong môi trường miệng.

Thiết kế ren xoắn đa dạng, khác nhau ở vùng cổ và thân Implant phù hợp với cấu trúc sinh cơ học của xương nhằm đạt được sự vững ổn ban đầu, kể cả với xương mềm. Do đó, Implant SIC rất thích hợp để cấy ghép tức thì.

Đồng thời, thiết kế rãnh song song của khớp nối Abutment giúp ôm sát trụ Implant và răng sứ, đảm bảo không có bất kỳ khe hở cho vi khuẩn xâm nhập.

Thân Implant SIC hình nón thường dẫn đến độ ổn định ban đầu cao hơn ở hầu hết các chất lượng xương và dễ dàng khắc phục các điều kiện giải phẫu kém hơn, chẳng hạn như các gờ xương ổ răng hẹp, các chóp chân răng hội tụ,.. Implant SIC thích hợp trong cấy ghép Implant tức thì.

Vòng xoắn trên thân trụ Implant SIC nhuyễn hơn để cắt an toàn ở xương cứng và giảm lực nén của xương. Thiết kế vòng xoắn được tối ưu hóa để có đặc tính ổn định ban đầu tốt hơn.

Kết nối giữ trụ Impalnt và Abutment là kết nối Platform Switching, kết nối này giúp bảo toàn cấu trúc xương vùng cấy ghép tốt hơn.

Các dòng trụ Implant SIC đa dạng kích thước, hình dáng trụ đáp ứng được nhiều lựa chọn và yêu cầu của Bác sĩ lẫn bệnh nhân điều trị.

Yakıt fiyatları iki frankın altına düştü

🇨🇭SESI- Ukrayna savaşının patlak vermesinden bu yana ilk kez, benzin fiyatları litre başına iki frankın altına düşmeye başladı. Aylardır İsviçre’de benzin fiyatları 2,25 CHF dolaylarında seyrediyordu. Yakıt fiyatlarının düşmesi, varil petrol fiyatlarının bir süredir 100 doların altına inmesi ve İsviçre için önemli bir faktör olarak, Ren Nehri'ndeki su seviyesinin artması olarak gösterildi. Nehirdeki su seviyesi artıkça daha fazla mavna trafiğine izin veriliyor. İsviçre’nin kullandığı benzin, motorin ve gazyağının üçte biri nehirdeki ulaşımla getiriliyor. Basel, Bern ve Solothurn kantonlarındaki bazı benzin istasyonlarında, yakıt fiyatları şu anda 1,98 CHF civarında seyrediyor. Düşük yakıt fiyatlarının artık ülke genelinde hızla yayılacağı tahmin ediliyor. Benzin fiyatlarının iki frankın altında düştüğü bazı yakıt istasyonlarının listesi burada yayınlanıyor.

I just found out about the Ana Mardoll situation. :/ Really disappointed, had no idea.

I've been recommending his writing as an example of characters who use neopronouns. Does anyone know of other published work with neopronoun-user characters?

Some of the stories on Ren Basel's patreon have this rep! But they are short stories, and it was exciting to see this in a novella-length work.

Queer Book Recommendations part 2!

Here’s the promised second part of my book recommendations! This time we have mostly fantasy books! I’ve included a short summary for each book, along with what I liked most and who I think would enjoy a book the most, and of course which kind of representation there is, though I’ve probably forgotten some. And this time there are even covers, because they are gorgeous :) The books are in no particular order. Some of the authors have tumblrs, I’ve added those I know of as well in case you want to follow them. That said, have fun reading!

(Link to part 1)

Baker Thief by Claudie Arseneault (Fantasy)

This is a cute fantasy heist/detective book about a thief, Claire, (who is also the baker Claude by day) and a detective, Adèle having to work together to find and save the city’s magical people who are used as a power source by a scrupulous company. Friendship and found family are important themes in this book, and it has a French-inspired setting which I found refreshing! Read this if you like baking puns and want to read a queerplatonic spin on the enemies-to-lovers trope!

Rep:  Claire is allo aro and genderfluid, Adèle biromantic demisexual. Claire is also fat, and it’s treated respectfully and positively. Other rep includes non-English neopronouns, disabled characters and a queerplatonic relationship!

Not Your Sidekick (Sidekick Squad) by C.B. Lee ( @authorcblee) (YA fantasy)

This is the first book in a YA series about a group of teens living in a (somewhat dystopian) town where superheroes are a part of daily life. This one is mainly about Jess, the daughter of two superheroes, who accidentally starts an internship at her parents’ nemesis company- though she also gets to work with her crush, Abby, there. And she soon discovers that there is more to the superhero and supervillain system than she thought. The following books are also really good! Read this if you like teenage superheros having adventures! 

Rep: Jess is bi, Vietnamese and Chinese, and her friends include a Black trans boy and a latina a-spec girl. They are the main characters of the following books. 

Chameleon Moon by RoAnna Sylver ( @thesylverlining) (Fantasy)

This book takes place in the city of Parole, whose inhabitants have a wide variety of superpowers. It is cut off from the outside world, burning and falling apart, and also under constant surveillance. I don’t usually like books with dystopian/grim settings, so I put off reading this for a long time, even though I heard a lot of praise for it. But despite the setting it’s actually really hopeful and uplifting. The plot centers around how the characters are resisting, not giving up and most importantly sticking together. They are all super interesting, diverse and often very relatable. Read this if you want to read a really well written, character focused book! 

There’s a second book set around a group of characters outside Parole (but with connections to the characters in book one) where we learn more about what’s going on in the rest of the world. There’s also a bunch of short stories!

Also: All books by RoAnna Sylver are currently (June 2021) free on their itch.io! 

Rep: Lots! Polyamory and QPRs, ace, aro, sapphic, gay, bi, transfem, transmasc and nonbinary characters, and also several disabled characters. Notably, one of the MCs has anxiety and panic attacks and it’s incredibly realistically written. 

Stake Sauce  Arc 1: The Secret Ingredient Is Love. No, Really by RoAnna Sylver (Urban fantasy)

This is a paranormal fantasy- we follow a group of former firefighters who try to live their life five years after a traumatic  work accident killed one of their friends/one character’s fiancé and nearly killed and left one of them, Jude, disabled. But Jude is convinced that it wasn’t just an unlucky accident, he knows he saw a vampire attack and kill their friend. And he is determined to never let anything like that happen again, and tries to be a vampire hunter. Tries, because he still hasn’t found any vampires. But things get complicated when he meets Pixie- a young, cute vampire who doesn’t want to bite anyone and is nothing like the monsters Jude is hunting. I love this book, and the second one a lot! The way the characters deal with grief and trauma, how they can strain relationships even with people who are very close is written very sensitive and realistic while still being optimistically written. Read this if you want friendship and found family as major themes!

There’s also a second book and a short story collection which is usually patreon-exclusive but is currently free on itch.io!

Rep: Jude is an autistic, grey aroace trans man, has PTSD and is an amputee. various flavours of queer (nonbinary, wlw, mlm, some polyamory, a-spec) and neurodivergent.

The Black Tides of Heaven (Tensorate) by J.Y. Yang (Fantasy)

This is a Asian-inspired Fantasy revolving around Akeha and Mokoya, the twin children of the Protector, the ruler of their country and their struggle to find and keep their agency while their mother wants to use them in her political schemes- especially Mokoya, who has prophetic powers. The worldbuilding here is fantastic, though most things are only hinted at and not described extensively (it’s a fairly short book). Gender identity is one important topic- children in this world don’t have a gender assigned at birth but get to choose their gender when they grow up, something Akeha struggles with a lot. Other important themes are familial relationships, especially between siblings and different ways of rebellion against an absolutist ruler. Read this if you like magical siblings!

Book one of the Tensorate series follows mostly Akeha, while book two follows Mokoya. Books three and four follow other characters and have an unusual writing style, being written as a journal and an extended monologue respectively.  

Rep: All children are presumed nonbinary, and choosing a gender that doesn’t fit your birth sex and transitioning are treated as completely normal, so while there are characters that would be trans in our world, it’s qiite different in this world. There are all kinds of queer relationships, including some polyamory!

The Queen of Cups by Ren Basel ( @renniequeer) (Fantasy)

This is a short fantasy novellette about Theo, a young captain who goes to the mysterious Oracle, an ageless woman living on the beach, to have their fortune told and to get a blessing for their ship before their first voyage and the adventure of this first voyage. The story is short enough that writing more about the plot would spoil too much, so I’ll leave it at that. Even though it’s really short, this story has interesting worldbuilding and is beautifully written. Read this if you want a heartwarming and exciting little story!

Rep: Theo is nonbinary and autistic (with synesthesia!) and is in a QPR with a trans woman. There are lots of queer minor characters.

The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie ( @annleckie​) (Fantasy)

This book follows two storylines- the first one is about a troubled kingdom whose patron god is weakening as the throne has been taken by an usurper. Eolo, a young trans man is trying to help the true ruler reclaim his kingdom and discovers an important secret. This storyline has lots of political intrigue, drama and suspense. The second storyline begins in the far past, and recounts the life of an ancient rock deity who is also the narrator. This storyline deals more with concepts, like religion and mythology, language and imagination, with some very interesting ideas. I liked how the gods aren’t just superpowered humans, but powerful, truly inhuman beings (there’s a god who is a swarm of mosquitos!). Read this if you like nonhuman narrators and lots of flashbacks! 

Rep: Eolo is a trans man, and I think most characters are POC.

The Four Profound Weaves by R.B. Lemberg (Fantasy)

This fantasy novella is set in the Birdverse and centers around two trans elders- Uiziya, a trans woman who transitioned years ago and has always been accepted by her people, and a nameless trans man who only transitioned very recently and struggles a lot with the rigid gender roles of his people. Together they go on a journey to seek out Uiziya’s aunt, so she can teach Uiziya how to weave from death, something Uiziya has waited for for decades. The language here is very lyrical and evocative, and the story is mystical and deep. And while it is quite dark at times, overall it’s still a hopeful book. The desert setting is also really cool! I especially loved the perspective of the nameless man, who could finally transition and now struggles both with the people who still see him as a woman, and the people who accept him but expect him to now fit in with the other men- which he doesn’t. I think this perspective is something that’s sorely lacking in most other books with trans narratives. Read this if you want interesting magic with older trans people!

There are also a bunch of short stories in the Birdverse, so check them out if you want to read something shorter by the same author!

Rep: Uiziya is also fat and dark skinned, there’s also some polyamory, sapphic characters and a nonbinary autistic child.

Lifelode by Jo Walton (Fantasy)

Lifelode is a pastoral fantasy, set in a small village where polyamory is the norm (families are usually two women and two men and all their children). The central story is mostly about the daily life of one family, while the larger plot is only in the background. This book also has really interesting worldbuilding- time passes differently in different places, and one character can see people’s past and future. The beginning of the book can be a bit difficult to understand because of this but it’s really worth it to stick with it! Read this if you like cottage core and polyamory!

Rep: Polyamory, and one minor f/f relationship.

The Trans Space Octopus Congregation by Bogi Takács (Fantasy/Sci-Fi)

This is a short story collection, and the title accurately shows how weird and queer these stories are. They have widely varying topics, both fantasy and science fiction- sentient octopuses, resistance against alien invasion, a failing memory archive… Frequent themes are nonsexual kink, Jewish faith, community, disability and, well, all forms of queerness. Read this if you want unconventional queer short stories!

If you enjoy weird queer poetry, Bogi has also published a collection of eir poems, called Algorithmic Shapshifting 

Rep: too much to list, but nonbinary and Jewish people the most.

[renthony]

Want to read a short story about a nonbinary autistic ship captain and a mysterious magical passenger?

In THE QUEEN OF CUPS by Ren Basel (that's me!), a mysterious woman known only as The Oracle resides on the seashore, blessing ships and telling fortunes for those who can pay her price. For new-made ship captain Theo Marinos, the price is higher than it first seems.

If Theo has any hope of surviving their ship’s first voyage, they must trust not just in The Oracle, but in themself–for the journey is long, and the ocean’s tests are many.

TỈ PHÚ JACK MA, NGƯỜI SÁNG LẬP CÔNG TY ALIBAMA MẤT TÍCH Tỷ phú Jack Ma, chủ nhân tập đoàn Alibama, đã biến mất một cách âm thầm và bí ẩn từ hơn 2 tháng nay. Giới kinh doanh chỉ nhận biết việc này khi họ không thấy ông xuất hiện trong chương trình Africa’s Business Heroes mà đáng lẽ ra, không phải có mặt trong hội đồng giám khảo của cuộc thi chung kết vào tháng Mười Một, 2020. Trở ngược thời gian thì người ta thấy là các tài khoản Twitter của ông đã không còn hoạt động từ tháng 10, 2020.  Người ta lo ngại là Jack Ma đã bị chính quyền độc tài Trung Quốc quản chế ở một nơi bí ẩn nào vì những chỉ trích của ông về sự lạc hậu của hệ thống ngân hàng, và sự tồi tệ của nền tài chánh nước này khiến Tập Cận Bình nổi giận. Điển hình là ông đã gọi hệ thống ngân hàng TQ là “những tiệm cầm đồ” hay ví Hiệp định Ngân hàng toàn cầu Basel là "câu lạc bộ dành cho người già". Vào tháng Mười Một, 2020, Tập đã ra lệnh cho đình chỉ phát hành cổ phiếu trị giá 37 tỷ USD của Ant Group của Jack Ma, yêu cầu công ty này thu hẹp hoạt động và cho tiến hành điều tra chống độc quyền công ty Alibaba. Việc trừng phạt mạnh tay những người thách thức quyền uy của Tập đã từng xảy ra. Chỉ mới vào đầu năm 2020, ông trùm bất động sản Ren Zhiqiang đã biến mất 6 tháng, và sau đó bị tuyên 18 năm tù, chỉ vì dám gọi Tập là “thằng hề” trong cách xử lý đại dịch Covid-19. Jack Ma là một đảng viên của đảng CSTQ, không biết đảng tịch của ông có đủ để bao che ông khỏi cơn thịnh nộ của Tâp hay không. Chúng ta chờ xem.

Orta Köprü ( Middle Bridge ) Ren Nehri’nin üstüne kurulmuş köprülerden biri. Basel’i ikiye bölen Ren Nehri, şehrin ortasından geçiyor. Nehir, şehri Küçük Basel ve Büyük Basel olmak üzere ikiye ayırıyor. Büyük Basel daha çok tarihi ve eski yapıların olduğu kısım iken, küçük Basel ise şehrin daha çok modern yüzünü temsil ediyor. Basel’e gittiğinizde bu güzel köprünün kenarından nehir boyunca yürüyüp şehrin keyfini çıkarmayı unutmayın ☺️ #middlebridgebasel #mittlererheinbrücke #basel #switzerland #baselswitzerland #isviçre #switzerland_pics #switzerland_destinations #lensbible #roamtheplanet #lifeofadventure #beautifuldestinations #livefolk #earthpix #stayandwander #artofvisuals #travelstoke #naturelovers #neverstopexploring #awsomeearth #travelguide #moodygrams #traveller #optoutside #travelcommunity #travellingthroughtheworld #travel #travelgram #travelmore #wanderlust (Mittlere Rheinbrücke) https://www.instagram.com/p/B73Rkt4hjbN/?igshid=k295eftgjzdz
