I'm an intactivist, all children have the right to be protected from genital cutting before they can consent, regardless of their genitalia. A consenting adult has the right to do what they want with their own body. #intactivism #i2 #autonomy

I would like to present one incredible Y2K aesthetic I witnessed at HARD-OFF today, I was in awe

Idea: A clock that takes the time of daylight and divides it up into twelve sections, let's call them "bells", and they are shorter in winter and longer in summer. In the night, same idea, let's call them "watches" and they are longer in winter, shorter in summer.
Trains and timed meds and stuff would still need to run on UTC, but imagine being able to organise your day to the length of daylight/darkness.
Most people would still need different routines in winter and summer but this is a feature, not a bug.
If you think of better names for the bells and watches then let me know, I'm borrowing from nautical terminology here.
Also does anyone want to program this? Even as a website where I could input my location by city, it would be super useful. Even going strictly by sunrise/sunset and ignoring concepts like dusk, it would be helpful.

IGM mention, autonomy
Here is a good talk by an intersex person on childhood intersex gender assignment surgeries, which are almost never medically needed, and often very harmful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1rO3eDVM8
Here is another good video on the subject, by someone who had IGM performed on them as an infant, before they could consent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yHAYOvTdMI Being born intersex is about as common as being born a redhead.
"We need society, the medical field, and intersex communities themselves to acknowledge that nature provides humanity with a wide range of forms, so that all of our bodies can be recognized as valid. Unless there is an actual rare functional problem, our bodies should not be altered in infancy, and only those functional problems should be addressed. Our genitals should be altered only if we ourselves request it, to make ourselves comfortable in our own skin, not to make society comfortable by our medical erasure. Society must come again to embrace the diversity that is nature's gift to us." - https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersex-genitalia-illustrated-and.html
All children deserve to be protected from genital cutting without consent, whether they are male, female, or intersex. Autonomy over your own body is a human right.
October 26th is Intersex Awareness Day! https://intersexday.org/en/

was talking about eye floaters with someone and I couldn't think of the phrase "vitreous humors" so I said "eye juice" instead

Rats can learn to drive tiny cars around an arena in exchange for a food reward. Their hormone levels suggest they seem to find going for a drive relaxing
