not peter, but elsa! elsa spidersona…? uhhh

They really really want to sell you the narrative that trans athletes are these unbeatable and dominant athletes, but they are very nebulous with their evidence.

CeCé had a single first place finish in the 400 meter hurdles. She ran a time of 57.53.

Which was not a record.

In fact, the world record in 1974 was 56.51. So she didn't even break a record from 51 years ago. The current world record is 50.37. Which, if you know anything about track and field, is nearly an eternity better.

Her only other rankings were 3rd and 7th place in the NCAA 200 meter dash.

She kinda did okay in three events during her entire athletic career.

She was consistently bested by cis opponents. She smashed no records. She had no winning streaks.

Just like every other trans athlete.

Of which there are about 100 in the NCAA.

Total.

Out of 130,000 athletes.

I devised three questions that I feel judge whether a trans athlete is fair competition.

Have they lost to a cis competitor?

Do they have a world record that has lasted more than a year?

Have they had any statistically significant winning streaks?

I have researched quite extensively and I haven't found a single trans athlete that met my criteria for unfairness.

Trans athletes are so rare that the vast majority of athletes will never even compete against them. When my state banned K-12 trans students from competition it affected 8 people. K-12 sports have several million participants.

This is a moral panic, not a problem.

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

things I think frozen does very well that were forgotten by the anti-hype crowd

It is a natural occurrence that the breakthrough of a piece of media will eventually end up in its own anti-hype crowd culture. We have reached a point, long ago, in which saying that Frozen is bad or that Anna and Elsa aren't as great as the hype says became a sign of...

✨ status, intelligence, not-like-other-girls revolutionary warrior ✨

It's impossible to say "Frozen" anywhere without someone popping out of thin air to preach how they don't like it and how flawed and annoying and how X is better, because reasons.

But after Frozen II, this crowd became louder. I just can't find a single video on YT about Frozen that is not about someone dashing or overly criticizing the movie and its characters because it's cool, and different, and oh-so-clever to be one of the superior ones who weren't caught on this Disney trap.

Yet I feel like the hype made people forget *why* the world was so impacted by this story in the first place. I have my own whys, and some popular whys, here is a list of a few of them that I care to discuss.

Could not have phrase it better!!! Elsa’s character was so important for so many people. The story was so compelling and fresh, we’ve never seen anything like that before in a DISNEY PRINCESS movie!  Also, the magnificent soundtrack slapping everyone in the face repeatedly is so accurate made me laugh hard!

I can verify that Elsa alone was a remarkable thing, not just for Disney but for animation lovers. Her story impacted me quite profoundly in ways that I've discussed several times over the years. Not only did she reignite my passion for Disney stories (regardless of whatever bullshit the corporation does), but she helped me with my own life journey in ways I never would have imagined. So yes, the hype was fairly well-deserved.

Self care is writing fan fiction that you are the sole target audience for.
