my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU! #SciArt #endometriosis #fibroids #adenomyosis

cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - FIBROIDS- non-cancerous abnormal growths of muscle tissue extremely common, 2/3, ~50% asymptomatic unclear origin, estrogen? progesterone? at higher risk: African Caribbean, family history, early periods, obesity heavy bleeds, anemia, back pain infertility constipation, frequent urination Dr. Platypus fact: one of the biggest fibroid was 28kg in a 53 year old Singaporean patient! the middle drawing is of an uterus absolutely covered in pink blobs representing the different type of fibroids: pedunculate (outside), pedunculate (inside), subserosal, submucosal, utnramuralcartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ENDOMETRIOSIS- endometrial-like tissue growing outside of the uterus unclear origin (cells escaping fallopian tube at menstruation, immune dysfunction, local estrogen production, circulation, surgery, genetics) Dr. Platypus fact: endometriotic lesions were even found in the brain, which caused neurological and psychiatric symptoms! ~8 years to get diagnosed 1/10 people bleeding outside and inside infertility pelvic PAIN! during intercourse, bowel movement, urination, or for no good reason nausea the middle drawing is of an uterus, guts, kidneys ovaries and bladder covered in pink endometriotic lesions, none of the organs are happy about it, one ovary has a massive pink chocolate cyst on it (a cyst full of endometrial tissue and blood)cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ADENOMYOSIS- endometrial tissue frowing inside the muscles of the uterus 1/10 people, and they might not even have symptoms (one figure sayinh you telling me WHAT??) unclear origin... shocking i know... estrogen?? other hormones? most likely in: +30 years, abdominal surgery, given birth heavy abnormal bleeding, anemia, pain bloating, fullness infertility Dr. Platypus fact:you can have endometriosis, adenomyosis, and firboids ALL AT ONCE!... and they all have similar symptoms the middle drawing is of an uterus absolutely covered in pink blobs representing the endometrial tissue growing within the muscle: focal (adenomyoma), diffuse, enlarged uteruscartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - MANAGING- there is no one-size-fits-all treatment, care ranges from less to more invasive first you need to diagnose the problem: ultrasound, blood markers, Magnetic Resonanse Imaging (MRI), surgery etc. PAIN CONTROL: painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, heating pads or hot water bottles, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) HORMONAL MEDICATION: IUS, mini pill, implants (progestogen only), combined pill, patches (progestogen + estrogen), hypothalamus pills injections (GnRH agonists and antagonists) SURGERY (diagnostic, to alleviate symptoms, and curative) laparoscopy, transvaginal hysteroscopy, abdominal (all biopsied) diseased tissue removal by laser or surgical hysterectomy: curative for adenomyosis and fibroids, but harder to access if <45 Dr. Platypus fact: platypuses don't have a uterus*(long oviduct, sometimes called the "uterus") so don't need to worry about any of this

Manifesting a timeline where a really cool rich queer woman creates a successful payment processing company that lets people move away from paypal and visa/mastercard so they can fade into obscurity 🤞

So tired of this shit. Literally any concept artist can doodle up a better solution in minutes. And you know it’s original and not just plucked from some other IP. And they can iterate on it in realtime, allowing the whole team to be in on the process. We had this process for fucking decades.

We asked the Crystal Dynamics team about its use of generative AI in developing Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Here’s what Jeff Adams, experience director on the game, had to say.

Runs both hands down face If you see me going insane over a new rabbit hole I'm realizing the Jak and Daxter characters translate into Warframe really seamlessly (yes even Seem. They're apart of the Quill)
