eh...no real insights, honestly. of course I think it's vile to shame someone's identity, as long as the identity isn't intrinsically harmful. (thinking of, like, Nazifurs and cop furs here)

the more normalization of unusual forms of identity, the better integration there will be among otherkin communities and society at large. shaming and unwarranted abuse of otherkin folx leads to secrecy and insularity of otherkin communities, and that is fertile ground for maladaptive social behaviors to flourish

free and open communication is absolutely vital, essential, especially as our current civilization decays and we are forced more and more to build our own sense of community. we should be bridging the divide between those who embrace humanity and those who feel divorced from it, and finding common ground

honestly fuck physical forms they suck.

The chemicals in green tea react with those inhibitor proteins with greater affinity than endogenous free radicals triggering transcription of those genes in the antioxidant defense system without causing colateral damage to the cell.

Some of these compounds have ongoing research as a preventative or mild chemotherapeutic agent for tumours as many of the problematic tumours (some benign, mostly malignant though) have disrupted metabolism asd often deviate in metabolic activity from normal cells, one of the areas which is usually disrupted is the cells ability use antioxidant defense so these chemicals may trigger oxidative damage to tumour cells while triggering healthy cells to produce more antioxidant defenses.

Btw when I say antioxidant defense I'm talking stuff like Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione synthetase, Glutathione peroxidase, and transferrin to name a few.

Did you know the reason green tea is "high in antioxidants" is because it doesn't have antioxidants.

Green Tea helps reduce oxidative stress not by supplying antioxidants, but instead by supplying phytochemicals that act as oxidants.

There are several proteins which transcribe genes associated with antioxidant defense, the body has evolved to express inhibitors that are prone to oxidative damage from food chemicals, you don't want to be spending energy on reducing free radicals all the time so this inhibitor remains (because you don't have high free radicals all the time), but the chemicals in green tea oxidise these inhibitors cause disulfide bridges to form disabling the inhibitor causing genes to start being transcribed, these inhibitors are very sensitive and stop working before oxidation reaches levels where it really starts cause damage to other componants of the cell.

A fusion of Boinc and a cryptocurrency.

Boinc is a network (a virtual grid supercomputer) which volenteers can donate computer resources to scientific research, gridcoin builds a cryptocurrency on top with a proof of research function, where the mining is actually supplying computing power to science.

3.6 Million Hectares of Rainforests Lost in 2018

The huge area of pristine tropical rainforest were destroyed in 2018, according to satellite analysis, with beef, chocolate and palm oil among the main causes, the media reported on Thursday.
The forests store huge amounts of carbon and are teeming with wildlife, making their protection critical to stopping runaway #ClimateChange and halting a sixth #MassExtinction.

Just because different groups experience *different* oppression doesn't mean one group gets to tell the other that they are not oppressed.

Plus a lot of the time, the people saying a group is not oppressed are part of the people oppressing them.

Intersex people, whether they identify as trans or not, regardless of their presentation and pronouns, are valid. And I never, ever see it said. So fellow intersex people, never, ever let the ignorant rob you of your identities, even if they pretend to be well-meaning. -Katie

flame retardants, generally heavily chlorinated or brominated aromatic organic compounds, have made widespread adoption of plastic articles in home construction and decor, but there's a growing move to ban them as fundamentally unsafe, it seems

they've gone through several rounds of flame retardants, looking for something safe *enough*, but maybe no heavily halogenated compound is ever going to be safe

(I think the halogens are necessary. heat generates atomic chlorine or bromine, free radicals which tend to scavenge the radical intermediates formed in the combustion of organic matter, and therefore suppress propagation of the combustion reactions.)

All Tropical Cyclone Basins are pretty quiet again, there is a weak Tropical Depression in the North East Pac (91E) but it hasn't really developed and looks like it may cross into the Atlantic.

Also the InterTropical Convergence Zone in the Atlantic is starting to flare up so we might see some Tropical Cyclogenesis flare up as the Hurricane Season aproaches.

95P in the South Pacific has disapated completely, there is another Low in the Coral Sea with plenty of convection but I think it would be unlikely to see it develop into another named Storm in the Australian region until at the very least October. (2 was weird enough giving the Season had ended).
