I have EDS and it definitely feels like this sometimes lol

I think that you should talk to your doctor about your concerns. My doctor prescribed a UVB light that I use for a short period every day and it seems to be helping quite a lot with my muscle pain and vitamin D levels

Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts

Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.

Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they’ve refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they’ve had copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard when they pulled their albums from Spotify

I can’t believe the other guy doesn’t even ponder his orb

I’m agender, but my body is very clearly gendered

I agree that it’s annoying that people assume someone’s gender, but we also have to give people some grace. Most humans fit into one of two boxes, and the other boxes are on a shelf that is slightly out of reach and easily forgotten

I might be lucky in this, but people usually get the idea that I’m not cis if I ask for their pronouns while we’re in the introductory phase

I lie to people just to be polite. But I don’t lie to my friends. But what if they aren’t actually my friends and they talk to me just to be polite? But…

It’s a spiral that probably won’t end until I’m alone

Omg I just won the game! 🌟

Goblin mode is out, opossum mode is in

Assuming Lemmy is still around by then, the front page will have a cat on it.

It’s a scene from The Queens Gambit. I think Anya Taylor-Joy just does weird things with her limbs sometimes

I have an ex that did this well into his 20s,and convinced me to try it one night. I did not understand the appeal lol

Are you the weirdo checking the undersides of fern leaves for sporangia? (/j that weirdo might be me)

Lightboxes are pretty easy to build, and can be done under $20 if you already have a few lamps or a very bright window

Anyway, your art is neat!

I hear an ancient voice, whispering from the Void, and it chills my lightless heart

Sometimes I forget I have a video game tattoo lmao

Not all articles that are peer-reviewed and given a doi are credible. Peer reviewers are directly contacted by the editor(s) of a journal, this can introduce bias. That journal, its current and past editor, and the sources of the opinion article have all been advised of bias.

I already had them tagged as “Richard Dawkins lover”, had to laugh when the article they posted had Dawkins as a source almost immediately.

This is from Scientific American in 2017

That’s admirable that you want to be able to respond to arguments in a more thoughtful way, and I’m sorry people were assuming otherwise. I can’t really condense the entire semester of my developmental biology class into a comment, but I tried to give you terms to explore and learn more about.

I read the edit to your original comment and I think you’re on the right path!
