The files of Mario Super Sluggers contain an unused early model of Daisy that has mysterious finger bones inside her hands. All other characters, both used and unused, are completely boneless.

It must be noted that model control points used to rig animations are usually called "bones" in the industry, but those are not themselves modeled, and their visual representation (often as cones or other simple shapes) exists only within the 3D modeling program for the benefit of the designer.

These bones, however, are actually modeled, which is highly unusual for the kind of bones discussed in the above paragraph, and is mostly the case for when literal bones actually need to be seen in-game, such as for cartoony animations of a character's skeleton being visible.

It is speculated that there may have been an oversight during the model export that has assigned a model to the bones. Either way, it is notable if it is an error (especially since it makes them look like actual real-life bones seemingly coincidentally), and highly bizarre if it is on purpose (as nothing explains what kind of purpose having bones only in the hands, and only for Daisy, would have).

Turns out you can roll a 7 on a d6

this is what I mean about how right now in the united states (won't speak for elsewhere but feel free to lmk in the notes if you'd like) a lot of us trans adults who are able to access transition care can only do so at the direct expense of trans minors. this clinic would not have opened if they held the line and offered equal access to healthcare to trans minors.

"Martin announced the direct-care clinic, calling it “one of the first times a public health department has ever taken that step.” But when Cabán pushed back, pointing out that trans youth are the ones most under attack right now—noting that there are “almost no providers” left for youth the entire city—Martin indicated the clinic would not serve youth, citing the need to “strike a balance” between providing care and avoiding “clawbacks from the federal government.” This morning, EITM can directly confirm that the age cutoff is 19—matching the Trump administration’s executive order threshold, not the standard legal age of adulthood in New York."

a lot of the structural transphobia we are experiencing is hitting minors even worse. their care gets banned first. if you want a preview of what access to healthcare will look like for us trans adults in 2 years, look at what access looks like for legal minors right now.

AUTISM RESPONSE: Rubber ducks and other rubber bath toys can accumulate mold on the inside because of small holes underneath where moisture becomes trapped. The mold often goes unnoticed because it's not visible from the outside.
