@noracodes i’m currently part of several on Dreamwidth (which is a LJ fork) and they’re mostly fine—some communities are definitely shitty and places like failfandomanon definitely invented brigading before it was cool but overall I def prefer them to other forms of social media organization i guess?

pillowfort 

@noracodes this does seem like an accurate summation of their whole deal lol

pillowfort 

@noracodes i would guess they did LJ communities again going off the name

@jadedofmara@im-in.space ahhh i see! i’m far enough from the meme side of fedi that would be producing that kind of broadly palatable content—was sitting here like, pop radio is making jokes about going on HRT now???

@jadedofmara@im-in.space what are we even saying thats of interest to pop radio stations???

@rowyn sleepy umbral who’s easily flustered is adorable

I hope they both have a nice rest, and maybe also a fun time waking up tomorrow

@Mer__edith surprised the article doesn’t even mention MCAS as a potential explanation, when the symptoms are quite similar and it’s known to be comorbid with both ME/CFS and POTS

I suppose the individual patients in the study in question were asked more detailed questions to rule it out (as it would have also provoked milk reactions from some other foods—fermented stuff and capsaicin are both triggers) and then it didn’t make it into the article as an option for other people looking for answers…

@researchfairy mine has this! both “start playing at n seconds” and “finish episode n seconds from the end”, customizable per podcast if you’d like a rec?

@pamela that kind of almost aggressive spring sun that seems like its trying its hardest to make up for several months of dark and cloudy winter all in one day

health (no rants I promise) 

@celli@octodon.social i’m glad you’re taking some time off to test and heal!

You definitely shouldn’t spend every hour catching up on Korean and crafting but maybe you could “compromise” with that side of your brain by watching a few silly kdramas?

@aescling @Lady @wallhackio i know servers do character limits conditional on CW’s—would something similar for polls be too difficult?

ep3 

@Betty @geraineon @Forestofglory fandom has done you a disservice—two of the four leads are women

The supporting cast has several great female characters as well, with varying amounts of screentime

conspiracy theory terminology question 

@eldang the importance of regional specificity all too often is only evident after the fact!

I am speaking from a US context here for the part of that based on my own experiences to be clear—I think antiblack racism in particular in particular tends to have a common “they have too many kids which is bad and dangerous to me somehow” theme (eg. welfare queens mix the spectre of black children with “your tax money” but also all the pushes to give black girls IUDs/birth control implants which can be well meant but get real sus in the messaging)

conspiracy theory terminology question 

@eldang i most frequently see it in a generally racist context rather than specifically antisemitic — and looking it up it does seem the person who coined the term was primarily conspiracy theorying about Muslims ruining France somehow (tho he was building off older specifically antisemetic tropes)

so my vote (not that i voted, the poll is closed lol) is somewhere between A&B I guess, and if I did see B I would probably assume liberals was probably a euphemism for BIPoC
