also i think it's funny how tumblr was like "you can pay to see someone's posts" and we were all like FUCK you and they were like "... pay to... inflict your own posts... on others?" and we were like

g-a-y-g-o-y-l-e

yknow, people talk about the tumblr userbase being reclusive and stubborn (and we are), but its worth noting that we’re also aggressively social.

we dont NEED algorithms, because thats OUR job, and we take pride in it. we WANT to do the work ourselves! we WANT to tell people ourselves!

we dont NEED our blogs to look the same, because we wanna make our OWN themes, and share them with each other, and experiment!

our most successful april fools days are the ones that just gave us new avenues to SCREAM REALLY LOUDLY in (promoting candidates in the 2016 election, turning our dashboards into semi-randomized rube goldberg machines of text and emojis in 2022).

we’re always constantly ramping things up to eleven, so the best enrichment toy for us is just. see this ball? feel free to throw it as hard as you want.

> we're also aggressively social

oh. I just realised.

this is what actual social media is. instead of the other websites, which are advertising media that pretend they're social media.

This exactly what I mean when I distinguish between Marketing Media and Social Media.

Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant.

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%.

“It’s not fat phobia! Fat people have higher rates of complications from surgery!! Doctors are just being prudent!”

People with diabetes and hepatitis C are not routinely denied kidney transplants, even though their conditions dramatically increase the risk of complication and death.

Also, when they are on dialysis, fat people have a survival advantage over thin people. Does this mean we should deny thin people dialysis until they can gain weight? Wouldn’t that be prudent?

“If you give a fat person a kidney, you’re throwing away an organ that could save someone’s life!”

Providing kidney transplants to fat people saves lives. Fat people who receive a kidney transplant experience a 48 - 66% reduction in the risk of death in the year following the transplant, compared to fat people who do not receive a transplant.

“Fat people have higher rates of complications sweaty, that’s why they are denied transplants <3″

Fat people have an approximately 20% to 40% greater risk of death in the eight years following a kidney transplant compared to thin people (although we cannot know if that increased risk was caused by a delay in treatment, weight regain post transplantation among patients required to lose weight, or another confounding factor). But that risk is far outweighed by the survival benefits of transplantation, leading researchers to conclude that “obesity should not be a contraindication for transplantation.”

bigfatscience

But honestly, this entire conversation is despicable. Inhuman. Soulless. People are actually conducting research to determine whether fat people should be offered life-saving medical care. Our world hates fat people so much, that this question seems reasonable to ask.

[image ID: Text reading Texas State Aquarium staff stated that the animals have been getting a little restless. One of the employees had an idea to let some of the land animals spend time with some of the sea animals, and it has worked out brilliantly.

Putting the sloths near the dolphins was the biggest surprise of all. The dolphins are absolutely delighted with the sloths, and the sloths, normally very quiet animals, have been squeaking replies back to the dolphins for hours at a time. Who would have guessed these two species would be such a great match?

There is a photo of two dolphins in a large pool, their heads peeking out above the water to look at a brown sloth, who is hanging on a branch. End ID]
