IF it can be helped at all, stay home when you are sick to prevent your illness from spreading to others, even if it's not a "serious" illness and is just a common cold, a common cold can still be really detrimental anyone with a weakened or compromised immune system from conditions including, but not limited to, leukemia, HIV, and hepatitis. And you can never know if one of your co-workers or a customer or a random stranger at the store has or lives with someone who has one of these conditions.

Not everyone can help it, some people risk losing their job if they call in sick, and not everyone has someone they can call on to run to the store for essentials while they're sick.

In these cases at least consider wearing a mask while you're in public so as to prevent spreading your sickness to co-workers / customers / random strangers you encounter while out in public. There are several cultures where even pre-COVID times it was considered rude to go out in public without a mask even if you had a simple cold because of it being inconsiderate to spread your sickness to others.

Now, if it can be helped at all, if you have a job where you can call in sick without losing your income, or if you have a job where you can work form home, or if you have anyone at all you can call on to run to the store for you to grab essentials, use that!

"Oh but I don't want to inconvenience my co-workers by having them down a person today, what if they really need my help?" You know what's going to inconvenience them more is when you make everyone at work sick, and some of them might either have a compromised immune system or live with someone who does.

"Oh but I don't want to inconvenience my friend by asking them to grab some essentials from the store for me while I'm sick!" You know what's going to be more inconvenient is when you spread your sickness to that dad you stood in line behind at the store who has a child at home withe leukemia, or a spouse with HIV.

And again, of course not everyone has an option. Some people risk losing their income if they call into work sick, or they don't have anyone who they can call on to get essentials from the store for them. But again, at least consider masking up to mitigate the risk of spreading your illness to vulnerable people who could be seriously harmed by even a common cold or mild flu.

Day 20: Frost

“Did they not want you?’ Harry shook his head. ‘After you spent so long looking for them? How sad. Get over it, Tom.’ 

The air between them felt cold. Everything did. Harry glanced at the floor and saw thick shards of ice protruding through the floorboards. The temperature dropped. Tom’s wand wasn’t in his hands and he looked slightly surprised. ”

Having a crisis at 5am. I'm sick. We're out of tea. I desperately want to start drawing Alcibiades tan and dark haired. With strong eyebrows and long dark eyelashes and green eyes nobody talk to me.

i have genuine diagnosed ptsd from my health history/hospitalizations so i do tend to go freak mode whenever i get sick AND it’s worse when doctors don’t know what’s going on and can’t give me answers because it’s like Oh i’m quite possibly going to die again. they are going to put me in a very bright room for days and jam needles into my arms every four hours because my blood is poison now and i won’t be able to sleep or eat or breathe or move and i will be alone .

massive shoutout to carl for giving us the most iconic shadow voice without even knowing it

(interview with jason griffith talking about his work as a VA, timestamp 2:00)

transcript:

[jason talking about his inspiration for auditions]

Jason: I don’t remember if Shadow sounded different from the beginning of when I started voicing Shadow to the time that I was canned, but he was based on a roommate that I had named Carl; and Carl would always- (now in shadow/carl voice) He’d always wanna talk about the book he was writing, and he’d smoke cigarettes at eight in the morning, and Carl worked the third shift so as soon as I was waking up he was coming home: “hey man.” And so I based Shadow on him when they asked me to audition for Shadow. I immediately knew- I’m like oh, this is Carl.

Hey y'all, weird question time again, this time for people without POTS or other tachycardia-causing health issues. I know my heart rate is higher than it should be a lot of the time, but I can't find comparison data for not-tachycardia peoples' heart rates at any point except resting and like target rate when exercising, so my questions are these: 1. What's your heart rate when you stand up? 2. Does your heart rate go up noticeably when you are sick? There's presumably a whole spectrum of non-tachycardia heart rates at points between resting and high intensity exercise, but I have not been able to find any comparison points in between those extremes at all
