THE GANGS ALL HERE 🗣️🔥‼️ information below the cut, “B” cast ( Doll, Lizzy, Thad) have not been included yet as they dont have a role in the main story yet. feel free to ask any questions, me and @kylelily123abc4 will do our best to answer them (:

UZI

Uzi is a 21 year old woman with an undergraduate in medical engineering, which she was coaxed into by her parents (Namely Khan). She is incredibly adept and smart and prefers the technicalities of weapons engineering, and majors in art on the side. She would like to do it full time, however her parents insist it’s not a “real job.” She volunteers at the local hospital N, V and J are relocated to from overseas so they can continue inpatient care until they are stable enough to be discharged and resume physio / psychotherapy as outpatients. She meets N during his time there and immediately clicks with him, and eventually begins to visit him on her off hours, and continues to visit him even after her contract ends. They end up establishing a relationship together and, after finding it is much less expensive commuting to school, moves in with N, V, J, Cyn and Tessa in their apartment for the semester.

She spent most of her childhood moving around and being bullied—the most significant moment having been when her first kiss was stolen by someone who only dated her because he was dared to.

Uzi is a big fan of all things anime, edgy humor, hot topic, and nightcore. she’s got the soul of an unabashed 2000s emo girl stuck in the modern day.

N

Private first class Nate (all his friends call him N) Is a 23 year old man who was fostered from a family in Utah alongside his sister Cyn under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 8-18. When of applicable age, he went back to the United States to enlist in the marines and live with Cyn, a former child prodigy who was scouted and given multiple scholarships due to record breaking academics and reflexes on simulator games.

He was severely traumatized during his first deployment overseas along with his other childhood friends, V, and J, after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. He, along with J and V spent a total of 12 hours alone in the desert before they were airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.

Despite his honorable discharge and severe ptsd diagnosis, N does his best to remain upbeat and positive, almost to a fault, oftentimes repressing “bad” thoughts or feelings.

He ends up meeting Uzi in the hospital and they form a relationship together, her eventually moving in and living with V, J, Him, Tessa, and Cyn in their flat after they’re discharged from the hospital.

J

Sergeant Jane (Only preferring J when around close friends) is a 26 year old trans woman who was fostered from an immigrant afghan family under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 4-18, having realized she was a woman very early in life. She began socially transitioning at 12, and began HRT as soon as she aged out of the system. She was the first to be involved with the Elliots and was pushed to enlist in the australian military, quickly moving up the ranks to sergeant and was eventually posted in the united states to assist in training other cadets. She was severely traumatized during her second deployment overseas along with her other childhood friends, V, and N after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. she, along with J and V spent a total of 12 hours alone in the desert before they were airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.

Having been their squad leader, J often blames herself for the incident, even if she doesn’t talk about it or say anything out loud. J is an ass kisser. She will do anything and everything to succeed and has a Holier Than Thou personality, often very uptight and not about any bullshit. Her relationship with N specifically is horrible, and she harbours lots of jealousy and resentment from their time growing up due to favoritism.

She has a long standing, massive crush on Tessa Elliot, her longtime confidant and friend, though it went unrequited for their entire childhood and into their early adult life, J often being subject to Tessa’s dating endeavours and crushes in the meantime.

V

Lance Corporal Victoria, (Who prefers to go by V present day) 4-18 who was fostered from a family in Vermont under Tessa, another childhood friend, and the Elliot family in Melbourne Australia from the ages of 8-18. She enlisted in the military alongside J and eventually N, and was transferred to the states to assist in training procedures for new cadets with J.

She was decommissioned during her second deployment overseas along with N and J after their humvee hit an IED during a routine supply run. All three were critically injured and the sole survivors of their team of 6. She took the brunt of the blast, sustaining the most severe wounds and was airlifted to an emergency hospital in germany, then, once stabilized, returned to the states to resume inpatient care in Salem, Oregon.

The doctors operating on her told her she would never walk again--V proved that wrong by walking the next week. It was a miracle—however V simply states it was due to “having that dog in her.”

She is very resilient, but is often grumpy with a dry sense of tone and humor. She used to have feelings for N when they were kids, but it's since faded as they grew and disappeared during their time in active duty. Though despite this, she still cares for him as a friend, even if she rarely shows it.

She is the first to be discharged, having been set up in an apartment downtown by Tessa, who lives with her and eventually is joined by N, J, Cyn, and eventually Uzi. She is a gym rat with a heavy workout regimen that she will make everyone else's problem if its interrupted.

CYN

Cynthia (Who ONLY goes by Cyn present day) is N's little sister. She is still in active duty in the military air-force. She was a child savant who graduated highschool at 14 and college at 18, moving on to become one of the best UAV operators in history, with successful missions reaching into the hundreds. Cyn is autistic and physically disabled, having been born with cerebral palsy, and uses forearm crutches as mobility aids--but make no mistake, she is incredibly intuitive and adept. often knock-kneed and walks with an awkward gate, and speaks with very ‘robotic’ mannerisms. She sometimes struggles to show empathy in a ‘socially normal way’ or have a conversational filter. She has a very dark sense of humor as well, that for those not used to her may find jarring or off putting. Cyn hates being referred to as a child or incompetent because of her appearance or her disability, she will even go to an extent to prove the point that she does not need assistance. Tends to be protective of N, to a lesser but still protective of V and J and much later down the line Uzi becomes a close friend of hers.

In her off time she enjoys painting warhammer figurines, collecting cards and playing video games. She has a very kitsch, macabre sense of interest, often owning eclectic, odd knick knacks and memorabilia, namely a taxidermied wombat she’s affectionately named “Suzie.”

TESSA

Dr Tessa James Elliot is a very talented surgeon working out of a public hospital in Brisbane, Australia, descending from a very rich family. She is N, V and J’s childhood friend and frequently travels to different parts of the world to assist in surgeries or specialist care. Tessa paused all of her work when she learned of their incident overseas, flying to America to personally attend to their care–with some bribery and finagling due to HIPPA not allowing biased treatment. She just cares too much to not do anything. Tessa is a joyful, social butterfly. Excellent bedside manner and a good sense of humor but sometimes comes off as socially awkward. She is J’s lifelong crush despite not being aware of it, having spent some time dating around but nobody ever seems to be the right fit. She often complains about her recent dating endeavors to J much to her chagrin.

Tessa is, for the lack of a better word, weird. Think Cyn with a little more charisma, often not having a conversational filter or saying things out of the blue. She is not disturbed by otherwise off putting things like death, bodily fluids, nudity, gore etc, and has a bit of a dark sense of humor that she portrays very upbeat and positively. She is incredibly smart and adept bookwise, however socially she comes up a bit short.

there is an alternative version of these guys however it is 18+ for nudity. you can see it on bluesky here and twitter here

The Seven Deadly Sins if they were in a zombie apocalypse

So this is an AU, so none of their normal powers and shit, JUST ZOMBIEESS!

Meliodas: He's a 29-year-old military officer. Oldest of the group and the leader. He has that PTSD from the war he served in. A survivalist, the only one who has like "experience" in situations similar to a zombie apocalypse. Kinda like the dad, keeping everyone in check.

Elizabeth: A 26 year old nurse. Of course the medic, always gotta bandage everyone up. Totally the mom of the group. Can't fight at all though so she needs protecting. Meliodas and her definitely met when the outbreak started then later the others joined.

Diane: She's a 24 year old dancer. The others were super surprised when she boxes a zombie right in the face. Meliodas saved her and she fell in love with him, later though she falls for King. Can't really do anything except fight. But she's always happy so it keeps everyone from going depresso expresso.

Ban: 27 year old theif (yes theif) He stole kings wallet the first time they met. He and king from that point on cannot stop arguing, they are literally a walking zombie alert. So the others shuts them up on a daily basis. Steals alot of supplies from random people (and King ofc) that the group meet. Tried to steal Merlin's shit once and let's just say it didn't end well. He's the chef and cooks all the food.

King: 28 year old Botanist. He's the only one who can actually grow crops. Ban and Melidodas once tried to spray "special plant growth" on Kings crops, turns out it was just poison and all the plants died. Since then no one gets to touch his crops. He can't fight for shit though.

Gowther: A 23 year old computer programmer. The group just kinda found him wandering on the street and took him in. 100% autistic ofc, but we all know that. Him and Merlin are besties (totally not projecting what I wanted to happen in canon) He helps her with all her science shit. Knows alot of weird random facts that he just starts rambling about. In the middle of a fight with zombies "did you know Australia is wider than the moon?" Cut to King almost dying. Can fight but doesn't cause he says his nails will get dirty ✨

Merlin: 25 year old chemist. (Wanted her to be younger than Elizabeth so they can have that sister bond) the group raided a super weird facility and found her just kinda chillin' with all her science shit. Everyone was suspicious of her at first but she's to helpful not to take with. Tries to make a cure or atleast a medicin against the zombies but it's really a cover to just dissect the zombies. Meliodas found her with a bunch of severed zombie limbs one time and now she's banned from experiments (won't stop her though)

Escanor: Was the last one to join. He's a 22 year old poet. Fell for Merlin as soon as he saw her. He's horrible at fighting. But he does help King with his crops, king says eacanor is the only one who can touch them. Likes to bake and when they find sugar he will make the best desserts. Will give his share to Merlin because he knows she loves sweets.

[theramseyloft]

hello, a friend was asking me about actual sources pertaining to the claims that pigeons benefit from living with humans. is it ethical to just scoop one off the street? i personally believe it is, but i also think it's totally fair to want a credible source and not just "i read it on twitter". the work you're doing is great, by the way!

That's honestly a really complex question.

Feral Pigeons (Columba livia) in North America, South America, and Australia are the descendants of birds brought from Europe that had already been fully domesticated for thousands of years at the time.

The Rock Dove from which the domestic birds descend is native to Asia, Europe, and parts of Africa, and on those continents, there are still wild populations that can mix with the domestic ones, and the type of habitat to which pigeons are adapted for feral or semi feral pigeons to return to and live out their lives.

Feral pigeons in these locations may be treated as wildlife.

But feral pigeons in North America, South America, and Australia do not have the wild Rock Doves to interbreed with or access to natural habitat that would allow them even the most remote chance of 'reverting' to something like the wild baseline.

Domestication is achieved by breeding wild traits out.

However many generations any number of dog breeds may be allowed to mix, no litter will ever result in wolf pups, unless full wolves are reintroduced to the breeding population.

The same logic applies to feral pigeons.

You are never going to get wild Rock Dove out of a feral clutch.

So, I honestly apply the same morals in regards to feral pigeons that I do to feral and stray dogs.

They are so human dependent that they can't survive anywhere that we aren't.

Concrete buildings, bridges, signs, and barns are the closest thing to natural nesting habitat available to feral pigeons, who are cliff side crevice nesters.

Food they would be able to forage for in the wild isn't really available to ferals.

In places where feeding them is banned, populations die out because they starve to death.

Feral pigeons eat garbage out of desperation, not because they can actually digest any of it.

So the question to whether or not they benefit from human care is a resounding "Yes!!".

They genuinely do need us, and do suffer if we just ignore them, unlike actual wildlife, which thrives when left alone by humans.

I could die happy if street pigeons were taken in like stray dogs are in the US.

But with out enough shelters or homes, the moral issue of whether or not to bring any given pigeon in off the street comes down to answering: "What will do the most good and the least harm?"

Taking a healthy adult off the street is usually stranding a mate and offspring regardless of the time of year.

Pigeon babies eat SO much that both of their parents can lose a LOT of body mass!! The adults tend to end up weighing significantly less than their offspring, even in a situation where food is always abundant.

So removing one healthy parent is extremely likely to cause the starvation of one or both offspring and severe malnutrition to the other parent, directly causing more harm than good over all.

An adult caught in something or tangled in string with no serious injuries probably still has a mate and young. The best thing for them is to be detangled and released.

A severely injured or sick adult cannot take care of partner or young, and in the time it takes to heal a serious wound or treat a severe illness, chances are that their mate will have taken them for dead and found a replacement.

I keep birds that came in this condition, though they are not likely to ever like me or any other human.

No harm is being done to other pigeons in the flock of origin, and that individual will live a longer, healthier life in an outdoor loft with a constant supply of food and access to medical care when needed.

I would consider it more cruel to release disabled adult pigeons or young in any condition than to keep them as pets.

Remember, they are already domesticated, and physically adapted to human care. Young birds and disabled adults adjust very well to human households.

So, my advice to some one wanting to rescue and adopt a pigeon off the street is to check local laws and make friends with a local flock in a place where there are no regulations against feeding them.

Lost performance breeds can often be recovered from the outer edge of a feral flock, and birds who know you as a food source will be more willing to approach or desperate to eat if they have an injury or illness that makes keeping up with the rest of the flock difficult.

It puts you in the prime position to rescue a bird who definitely needs your help.

Anyone looking to take on the responsibility of rescuing a pigeon directly off the street needs to expect there to be vet bills!

Make sure you have access to a vet who will see pigeons, and specify that the bird is your pet, not a drop off you plan to just leave with them.

If you want to rescue, but do not think you can afford immediate trips to the vet, take a step back and reach out to a rescue organization.

The birds they have available will already have been treated for what ever injuries or illness got them there.

Great Lakes Pigeon Rescue is pretty solid, and you don't have to live in the Great Lakes region to adopt from them.

EDITS:

I previously butt heads with Palomacy on two serious issues, but the facts remain that the birds there need homes, food, and medical care, and having allowed that to prevent me from pointing Californians looking to adopt a pigeon in their direction was frankly petty of me.

@shayvaalski States in the comments: "Palomancy states very clearly that "Pigeons were the first domesticated bird" and "They are domestic and unable to live in the wild." While they also say that they don't think birds should have been domesticated, they also uh, understand that they were and talk about street birds as feral. They do not recommend parrot feed. They say "Pigeons eat seeds and grains and you can buy pre-mixed blends called pigeon feed"."

Both of these are changes since my last interactions with the organization, so I appreciate the correction.

EDIT CONCLUDED.

For further reading, Rosemary Mosco (who writes the adorable Bird and Moon comic) wrote a fantastic book detailing our history with pigeons.

Hope that helps. ^v^

Where to Purchase Isopropyl Alcohol: A Comprehensive Buying Guide

Isopropyl Alcohol is a versatile product widely used for cleaning, disinfecting, and medical purposes. Whether you're disinfecting surfaces, cleaning electronics, or using it in a first-aid kit, knowing where to purchase it can make a big difference. This guide will help you understand the best places to buy isopropyl alcohol and other related products like Sterile Water for Injection or Bacteriostatic Water.

understand the best places to buy isopropyl alcohol and Bacteriostatic water

1. Pharmacies and Drugstores

Pharmacies are one of the most common places to purchase isopropyl alcohol. Stores like Chemist Warehouse and Priceline in Australia often stock isopropyl alcohol in different concentrations, including 70% and 99%. You can also find medical-grade products, such as Sterile Water for Injection or Bacteriostatic Water. These products are often used for medical purposes, such as preparing injectable medications, but are also available for general use.

Tip: When visiting your local pharmacy, look for different bottle sizes. For small tasks, a 100ml or 250ml bottle of isopropyl alcohol will do. For larger jobs, pharmacies often stock 500ml or 1-litre bottles.

2. Supermarkets

Major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths often stock isopropyl alcohol in the cleaning section. While the selection may be smaller than in pharmacies, it is still convenient to pick up a bottle during your grocery shopping trip. These stores may also carry Sterile Water for Injection 10ml for household use or minor medical needs.

3. Online Retailers

Online shopping offers convenience and variety, making it easy to find exactly what you need. Websites like Amazon, eBay, and Catch have a wide range of isopropyl alcohol products available. If you’re looking to buy in bulk or want specific concentrations (like 99% for electronics cleaning), online retailers are a great option.

In addition to isopropyl alcohol, you can also find products like Bacteriostatic Water or Bac Water online. These are often used for multi-dose medication reconstitution and can be purchased from specialized medical suppliers.

4. Medical Supply Stores

For larger quantities of isopropyl alcohol or medical-grade solutions, medical supply stores are the best option. These stores often stock more specialized products like Sterile Water for Injection 10ml or Bacteriostatic Water for injection. These solutions are commonly used for reconstituting injectable medications and other medical purposes.

Tip: If you need to reconstitute medications, such as peptides, consider visiting a medical supply store. They also carry related products, including syringes and Buy Distilled Water Adelaide for non-injectable purposes.

5. Hardware and Electronics Stores

For those using isopropyl alcohol to clean electronics or remove adhesives, hardware stores like Bunnings often stock high-purity alcohol (90% or above). Electronics retailers also carry isopropyl alcohol for cleaning sensitive devices and components.

Conclusion

Whether you’re buying isopropyl alcohol for medical use, household cleaning, or electronics maintenance, there are plenty of options available both in-store and online. Pharmacies, supermarkets, online retailers, and medical supply stores all offer isopropyl alcohol in different forms and concentrations, along with related products like Bacteriostatic Water, Sterile Water for Injection, and Bac Water. If you’re looking for high-quality bacteriostatic products, consider Bacteriostatic Water Australia for your needs. Always check the label for the concentration that suits your purposes, and shop around to find the best prices and suppliers.

Hi, we're Tsuru!

We're a band of high school dumbasses from Adelaide, South Australia and we like queer retellings of folklore!

Our members are:

The Weaver/Storyteller (she/her)

Once a spirit of music and storytelling, the Weaver, or the Storyteller was cast out and left almost powerless after she toyed with the outcomes of stories one too many times. After some time, she gave up on attempting to regain her power and simply continued her craft as best as she could in her new form, eventually forming the band Tsuru.

Description: While she mostly appears to be just an ordinary human, while performing, enough of her power comes back for her to temporarily regain her wings, though they once again vanish when the performance is over. The feathers are every shade from pale purple to dark blue. She mostly plays keyboard, but will sometimes play the guitar if needed, or flute during someone else’s song, and is one of the main vocalists of the band, as she can sing anywhere from tenor to soprano range. She often wears gloves to hide the inkstains on her hands.

The Harmacist (any/all) (@sentientshitpost69),

They were an outcast to society due to their abnormal height and inhuman regeneration, they found their way in helping people using the natural resources of the forests and the nature around them using Phytokinesis. They were eventually enslaved by The System Of Thorned Shields where they were instantly recognised as helpful due to people recognising them from when they helped them previously. They ultimately found their friends when discovering a group of foreign people who accepted him for who he is, they then formed the group of Tsuru.

Description: A tall lanky person who measures to be 178cm tall and wears a ragged white lab coat with a hooded jacket underneath, along with cargo pants for all of the medical supplies that they need & wears a set of masks to hide who they are but when they take them off it reveals a set of sharp animal like teeth without any lips to conceal them along with boots to trek through the rough terrain that they inhabit. A deep and gravelly voice easily turns to a harmonic opera by just the will of them. Usually plays either the bass guitar or classical guitar. They generally like to listen to rock, metal, alt and electronic music and play a lot of video games, ranging from tower defence games, RPGs, sandbox games, to metroidvanias, rogue likes and fighting games. They are also very smart despite their ragged appearance considering that they are a doctor and they have managed to create weapons from mere grass and sticks.

Miki (she/they) (Peony/@sauleline),

Miki was born kinda fucked up, at least as a human, she was born with both cat ears and a tail, and was considered a medical anomaly. Although it’s not normal, she doesn’t really care what shits people give about her, and normally just flips off haters. They were unemployed for a while, and found a poster reaching out for members of Tsuru, and they applied, played a slightly technical rock beat. 

Description: A 5’9ish girl, with a purple undercut, with cat ears and a tail. Normally wears a bomber jacket with a crop top underneath, and jeans, which are cuffed. They also wear either Bright red cons, or Purple cons. She normally goes onto stage with a can of monster. They play the drums, quite aggressively, if/when I (peony irl) get a manual drum kit, there’s a big antifascist A on it, and an inverted pentagram, and a “Holy Fucking Bingle”. 

Baller Bat (he/him) (Jerome/no tumblr as of right now, @vampireslayersrscary on youtube if you want to see some his non-Tsuru stuff)

Vampire, cool, hot, and a bat, negative -13 rizz 🥶, dripped out, his fur is light brown instead of dark brown

We have two other members whose character descriptions are still underway/not begun yet, and this post will be updated when those are finished.

Our music:

Currently, we have two planned albums, The Selkie's Weddings and The System Of Thorned Shields

TSW is the story of a selkie, Mara, who has their pelt taken from them and has to figure out a way to escape, with the help of some friends along the way, while TSOTS is the backstory of The Harmacist and a future antagonist.

Developments:

In In July 2022, Sinopec and INEOS Group announced agreements to collaborate on three joint ventures aimed at expanding the production of petrochemicals to help meet rising demand in China’s market. INEOS acquired 50% of Sinopec subsidiary SECCO Petrochemical Co. Ltd. ( which produces butadiene). INEOS and Sinopec will form a new 50–50 joint venture to focus on increasing China’s production capacity of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) by up to 1.2 million tons per year (tpy) via the construction of two new 300,000-tpy ABS plants.

In June 2022, BASF extended its series of Licity anode binders for Li-ion battery manufacturing. The second-generation styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) binder Licity 2698 X F facilitates the use of silicon contents exceeding 20%. The product also offers higher capacity, an increased number of charge/discharge cycles, and reduced charging times.
