Here I am stepping outside to get some vitamin D while drinking tea and smiling because I am listening to Arnie Niekamp sing the theme song to Growing Pains. #morning #sunlight #tea #smile #funny #arnieniekamp #hellofromthemagictavern #podcast #vitamind #growingpains

Three things make a post: Magic Tavern, plural studies, and Holmesageddon

I got a shoutout in the “thanks to some of our patrons” section from this episode of Hello From The Magic Tavern! I never listen to the credits, someone else going through the archive pointed it out to me, which is why it’s from July 2023 and I’m only realizing it now. Neat.

(I’m not a regular supporter, I just jump in for a month every so often to download a new batch of episodes. They get so many patrons, I can’t imagine them thanking everyone, but maybe they do? Or maybe I just got lucky with the timing.)

After some aggressive weeding of my Youtube recommendations, I finally got it to go back to reccing new videos (a) from channels I’m not already watching (b) that are relevant to my interests! (Fingers crossed that this lasts.)

Mini-vent from watching some new-to-me DID Youtubers: there’s a purported statistic of how 1% of the population actually has DID, and it gets repeated by so many people in the community…

And none of them mention what study it’s from. Pretty sure they’re all quoting each other. I finally found a couple real studies with the number! …They cited it as coming from other studies, which cited it from other studies.

Long story short, I would bet money that every single mention of this stat goes back to this one paper: Sar V, Akyuz G, Dogan O, 2007. Prevalence of dissociative disorders among women in the general population. Psychiatry Res. 149, 169–176. 10.1016/j.psychres.2006.01.005

The title already tells you they were only surveying women. The abstract clarifies that they only surveyed women from one specific city in Turkey. And that “1.1% rate of DID” number…seems to be based on the subjects’ results from “filling out the DDIS one time”? (Anyone with time and access to read the full text — if they were actually diagnosed based on something more, please drop a comment to clarify.)

All of this was published in 2007. And I haven’t found any sign of these results being replicated or verified in any other study in the 14 years since.

I don’t think we can call this one a win, folks.

Mentioned this on Mastodon back around Holmesageddon, keep meaning to document it here:

“Thankfully [group] came to its senses and changed back to the old policy” sounds exactly like someone complaining about AO3 wrangling decisions, right?

It’s a quote from a professional in my library’s cataloging department, talking about the professionals at the United States Library of Congress.

It’s true the OTW doesn’t always get advice from experts. And yeah, there are ways in which the org has noticeably suffered for it. But sometimes I see “if only AO3 hired professional librarians to handle the tagging system, they would all agree on how to categorize things and never make bad decisions”…and, no. Not how it works. Sure wish it was. But nope.

a few warm up sketches from the other day

#hellofromthemagictavern

A sketch of Dripfang from Hello from the Magic Tavern. He’s looking off to the side with his eyebrow raised, his hair pulled back with a headband, wearing a sleeveless v-neck shirt. He wipes his hands off on a cloth as he says “Here’s the thing—when you have a passion project and you’re your own boss, you can tell yourself to fuck off and you’re fired whenever you want.”

A sketch of Baron Ragoon from Hello From the Magic Tavern. He’s dressed in a shirt and vest with a cravat, eyes closed and slightly tiling his head. His word balloons are broken into various overlapping phrases: they are positioned to fill in the blank between “about” and “ago.” The phrases fully read “about two score and six bortnights ago—“ “about seven moon dances ago—“ and “about a month of flernsdays ago—“

your honor I have known morel for less than twenty four hours and I would fight an army for her

#hellofromthemagictavern #characterdesign

A sketch of Dripfang and Morel the Mushroom from the Hello From the Magic Tavern spin-off, Masters of Mayhem, as well as a stand-alone sketch of Morel. Morel is a little mushroom with stubby hands and legs. She has a big smile and rosy cheeks. Her cap is brain-like, based off of the wrinkled cap of a false morel. In the sketch with Dripfang, she’s sitting on his shoulder, looking out from his coat fur with an expression of open mouthed shock. Dripfang—who has pale green skin, short black hair, a mustache and goatee, and snake scales on his cheeks, ear tips, and backs of his hands, wearing a green coat with gold trim and a large fur collar—looks at her slyly.

scene: the two dorks you keep running into/are seemingly stuck with are definitely about to ruin this fancy conference, but at least you can get drunk on champagne in the meantime

#hellofromthemagictavern #procreate

An illustration of Bullexa and Squibbert from the Hello from the Magic Tavern spin-off, Masters of Mayhem. They chat with glasses of champagne next to them. Bullexa is a large bipedal bull, with brown fur, fringe bangs over one eye, horns with dark brown tips with orbs of light hovering around them, a nose ring, and a halo behind her head. She’s wearing a toga that is pinned at her shoulder with a large gold disc. She holds Squibbert, who is a small green frog with yellow spots, in one of her hooves.

Gandalf The Grey or Usidore The Blue? I have my suspicions that they may be one and the same. Could this be yet another unrevealed secret name? Perhaps one of such immense power and portent that to acknowledge it could bring about the end of existence as we know it. #gandalf #usidore #lordoftherings #hellofromthemagictavern #wizard #magic #plush #secretname #bluewizard #greywizard #notaconjurerofcheaptricks #lotr #hftmt #geek

Create content. Don't edit yourself. Hail Eris.

I think I'm spiraling...

May need to take a podcasts break...

But I'm only on Ep39 of #HelloFromTheMagicTavern and I just really love Craig's voice 😭
