Shocking Revelation: Chemical Hair Relaxers Linked to Cancer

A disturbing story has emerged, shedding light on the potential dangers of chemical hair relaxers. A long-time user of Softee Hair Grease, has come forward with a harrowing account of the health issues she experienced. From 1995 to 2008, a woman who regularly used the hair product, only to be hospitalized hours after each application due to severe abdominal pain. This pattern continued for…

fun fact: in the 50s the Kent cigarette brand had a type of cig with micronite filters that literally had crocidolite in them, aka BLUE ASBESTOS, literally THE most lethal type of asbestos by a mile. and you could just buy it at the store and huff it

#even tho it was less commonly used than chrysotile or amosite asbestos a lot of sources im seeing say it may have caused more cancer deaths #citation needed on that but it really is much more lethal than the other types despite being a bit less common #it was also used in gas mask filters in like the 30s. though white asbestos seems to more commonly have been in gas masks overall #<- white asbestos is chrysotile

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?

it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".

i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.

the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.

it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.

tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.

#ramble #ok to reblog btw i'm fine with this being shared #this was meant to be a short version but this is just the whole story whoops #sorry i realised the way i phrased it sounded like i'm the detrans you see in the news #i'm Technically a detransitioner because a lot of detrans stats are people who go on to RETRANSITION #because detransition is often because of social stigma and not because you realised you weren't trans #so anyway. terfs are cancer and if you don't think their bs is harming children you're wrong #i know it's easy to say 'you should've used your brain and realised those people were wrong' #but like. when you're 16 you're SO impressionable. even if you think you aren't #especially when you're watching people who have been transitioning longer than you and you assume they know everything #i was in my mid-late teens when 'transtrender' videos were MASSIVE and i believed it!!! and i was Not nice about those people #all they made me believe was that being trans couldn't be colourful and comfy and fun. it just had to be Pain #i hope everyone who contributed to the 'you need to be this way to be trans' mindset knows how much hurt they've caused #nowadays i don't care. go and be stargender. we have actual problems to deal with not debates about neopronouns #anyway this was long. that's the story

okay, i think any time anyone asks what superpower we’d like to have most everyone on this website would say shapeshifting but what kind of shapeshifting would you like

type 1- wild shape, you can turn into any animal, real or fictional

type 2- mystique, you can turn into any real person

type 3- cosplay, you can turn into any humanoid fictional character

type 4- jake the dog, you’re super stretchy

type 5- character creator, you can alter your own appearance- like changing voice hair length texture color, changing height and weight, transing gender, etc, but you can’t add anything non-human (ie horns, wings, claws, etc)

type 6- additional features, you can add things like snake eyes, horns, cat ears, tail, claws, wings, mermaid tail, but you remain humanoid overall and can’t change things like height or gender presentation or hair color. you can still change your voice tho

type 7- were-wolf, we all know what a werewolf is, lads. can be any kind of animal. can be straight up wolf or more monstrous wolf form that’s up to you.

type 8- furry, you just become your fursona. or any kind of fursona really you can change between them

type 9- antman, can become small or big

type 10- other, say what kind ya want

#polls #crazwaz posted #i’m curious #just saying ‘shapeshifting’ is too broad yknow #there’s so many types of shapeshifting i can think of way more but there’s only 10 options lol #cause the lil loophole lover i am i’m just like. well i could shapeshift my dna n such to give me other superpowers couldnt i #i could make an argument that every character is a shapeshifter i think #shapeshift to give myself electric powers or flight or invisibility or strength or speed or spiderman stick to wall stuff #hell even without that like. could shapeshift your blood to be immune to diseases and such #underutilized form of that yknow #like wolverine and deadpool and etc etc have like that but they’re not shapeshifters yknow #if you can shapeshift more mass then you could shapeshift more blood. change your blood type. become a whole new type of universal donor #shapeshift to have a type of dna or whatever that is immune to like. cancer. and then donate that to people. like cmon man #if you’re not specific about your shapeshifting you become overpowered so fast that’s why i always say i wanna be a shapeshifter #that and i’m genderfluid and have adhd so like obviously

because i've been in been in the biology industry for so long that i can no longer judge what's common knowledge and what's actually very niche

how aware are most people that there's a protein called Sonic hedgehog protein, coded for by the SHH gene?

and that it is one of the core proteins responsible for development in all animals?

i can say 'Sonic hedgehog causes cancer' and i'm not even shitposting. it's scientific fact.

#biology #sonic the hedgehog #okay SHH doesn't so much cause cancer #rather #certain mutations in the gene and alterations to the SHH transcription pathway contribute to certain kinds of cancer #there i've hopefully been sufficiently accurate #i just need to know if this is basic enough everyone is aware or not

Are people off tikok aware of the lady who is dying of cancer and signed off all her rights to her latest single to her 7 year old son in the hopes that she'll have some amount of money to leave behind for him and initially her song was taking off and getting a lot of streams until someone pointed out that she follows the IDF on instagram so now people are debating over whether or not it's morally correct to stream her song even though the money exclusively goes to her son what stage of capitalism is this

#obviously it's terrible that she's a zionist! You should not ever consciously financially support a zionist! #but like... she's not even getting the money #I just feel bad for her kid man cause not only is his mum dying of cancer but she's also getting cancelled on her deathbed and it impacts n #one but him #idk #I support Palestine completely #I do not agree with her viewpoints at all #but this just feels a bit insane like this is the type of energy to bring when boycotting starbucks and mcdonalds #not some kid who has no control over the fact that his dying mother is a zionist

Are there any other wizarding families that are underexplored in canon and pique your interest in a similar way to the Blacks?

This is a unique function of what food my brain worms like to eat, but no one's doing it like the Blacks. The drama? The intrigue? The Gothic horror? The prodigal sons and lost daughters and killers and sinners and martyrs and saints? The wizard Catholicism of it all? The story of the House of Black is the best book never written.

#i do think the potters could benefit from fleshing out #like harry's got no cousins or grandparents on his dad's side and that's weird to me #because his parents were... 22? so... how early did james's parents die? and how? because they're not old enough for natural causes #though to be honest. if i could add one backstory to canon it wouldn't be the potters OR the blacks #it would be peter pettigrew and the story of his betrayal #most important decision in the whole fucking series. lynchpin of the novels' decade-spanning plot #and it's like. whoops. motivation machine broke! #WHY did he do it? we have no mcfucking clue #the potters and blacks are cool to think about but ultimately just extra dressing for the plot #understanding peter pettigrew is crucial to understanding why the novels happen and we simply don't! #EDIT: just remembered the pottermore canon that the Potters have james when they're much older and that's why they're not around #that's not satisfying to me for 2 reasons 1: wizards canonically have longer-than-normal lifespans #and 2: doesn't explain how/why the Evanses disappear after Lily's death #like I'm not saying they COULDN'T die — obviously could! my grandparents were all dead before my 20s #but that was like. cancer. and in one case aggressively accelerated liver failure #just like a throwaway line or something to clear it up would've been cool #since it's not so much a plot hole as a plot pothole #we can get over it but shit's smoother without

Modern crystal healing: It opens your ~chakras~ you will attract ~abundance~ you will ~connect with the universe~

Medieval crystal healing: This shit makes you invisible, stops your periods from hurting, and makes your husband love you.

#chatter #Yes those are all taken from real medieval descriptions of crystals. #I can't remember the last one but the first two are topaz and carnelian. #I prefer older crystal healing sources I will not lie. #Its the fact that they're less vague and more confident about their assumptions. #I have read modern (70s) crystal healing books and they are INCOMPREHENSIBLE. #The thing about these books from the 70s is that if you follow the citation chain of modern books they all lead back to them. #I don't know how you could get any useful information from Healing “diamonds are so strong they cause cancer” Stoned. #Want medieval rock information? #Hildegarde von Bingen's Physica and Albert the Great's De Mineralibus. #English translations: Priscilla Throop and Dorothy Wyckoff respectively because I've read those. #Physica includes a lot more than crystals and Throop's translation is easy to read so I recommend it in general. #Wyckoff's De Mineralibus contains a lot of interesting footnotes that explain what Albert could've been referring to. #Because shockingly in a society without ways to definitively test minerals sometimes every green rock is an emerald. #Bonus: Want some Roman crystal knowledge? Pliny the Elder's Natural History volume 11. #|| #witch #witchblr #witch memes #witchcraft #crystal witch #crystals #witch meme

“Kiryu got cancer”

Yeah, maybe consuming metric tons worth of fast food and alcohol, along with smoking for decades just for a completion list wasn’t the best idea.

anon im giving you a gold star for mentiong that fast food could lead to cancer. no one ever brings that up

#snap chats #at this fuckin point what DOSENt count s a carcinogen tho. jesus fucking christ we're killing outselves just by eating #i need to shut up cuase i just had soju tonight HYPORITE #anyway yeahl. no one hould be surprised kriyu got cancer #we're only surprised cause outside of akiyama no one has shown being affected by excessive smoking

Okay now I'm curious about your TMA/Gravity Falls crossover. Is it like the cast of TMA get a cartoony summer adventure or is it like the cast of Gravity Falls have to deal with The Horrors? Or is it something else?

See this fic enchants me because it’s sort of both. One of the Rules of the fic is that the characters absolutely must maintain the conventions of their genre. So it’s the TMA universe and all of its grimdark cosmic horror grappling with the metaphysically displaced Mystery Twins, who operate on cartoon logic.

So it’s a lot of:

Elias: As you can see, you are all quite trapped. Under the contract, you cannot quit and you cannot kill me, so I suggest you all--

Mabel and Dipper: *exchange a look*

Dipper, stonefaced: *shrinks him with the size changing gem*

Mabel: *picks him up by his blazer and puts him in a jar*

The TMA crew: *staring*

Dipper, clapping once: so that's him handled.

Tim, completely broken, having to sit down: what

Dipper: I mean he can't do his evil machinations when he's like two inches tall in a jar and he's not going to die either so--oh uh Mabel? You put holes in that jar right?

Mabel, already going through Elias’s wallet and pocketing the cash: I can't be expected to think of everything Dipper

Dipper: I'm sure he's fine there, there was some air to start with and--we'll add holes. We'll add some holes

#Mabel and dipper have to grapple with the horrors but the horrors have to grapple with them #it’s Mabel and Dipper stuck in the TMA universe with Jon—who panicked—as their fake dad #look in his defense he was half mad with paranoia and had no legal explanation as to how he suddenly had kids past ‘uhhh I was a teen dad.’ #‘the adoption was open. they’re visiting.’ #Elias spends the entire time absolutely vibrating with frustration because those are not his fucking kids and they’re causing him so much #fucking trouble. but everyone chalks his skepticism up to racism because dipper and Mabel look white and Jon doesn’t #meanwhile Stan and ford are trying to illegally universe hop to save the kids #Gerry Keay is there because he fell in with ford when he accidentally hopped into the TMA universe years back #they were fake dad and son and ford took him with him when he finally escaped #they got separated when he needed to get cancer treatment #ford left him in a utopia and it was just. too perfect. Gerry just wants a world that’s a normal amount of fucked up. he’s chewing the walls #of this place. the alternative music scene is nonexistent because there’s nothing to rebel against. he can’t live like this. its too perfect #ford recruits him to help save the kids with the promise of a world that was a semi normal amount of fucked
