"What if Bill Gates tabled the idea to the CIA of Population Control? Not just the future management of Population Growth, but also the Control of the remaining Populations who would eventually realise what was going on. It involved the idea of Ethnically cleansing the Populations that hold most of the Land Assets the greedy 1% desire. The Populations of the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada & New Zealand predominantly. What if Bill Gates devised an Ethnicity Specific Weapon of Mass Destruction, mRNA Covid-19 injections, which he planned to use alongside the Poisoning of Water Supplies & the removal of Nutrient Rich Food by Genetically Modifying it? The Food looks great, but holds no Nutritional Value. What if Gates also Pollutes the Air we breathe with Chemtrails all leading to a shortening of Life? What if Gates was then given the role of Global Population Control on a limited contract, 2020-2030 along with a Licence to Kill? That he then publicly divorced in an attempt to shield his equally complicit wife & their Children from the dangers his new role would bring? His Licence to Kill allows him to target aircraft carrying individuals that could adversely effect his plans, like the Cancer specialists whose flight went down recently? What if he was gifted the contract to operate the new global digital currencies through Microsoft, meaning he earns with every single global transaction? What if the reason there are no "Property Of" signs on 5G towers are because they are Gates owned? And what if this ultimate salesmen managed to convince or blackmail the Leaders of our Nations that this was in fact a good & profitable idea?
Sell Eco-Terrorism as Geo-engineering?
Sell Death Jabs as Healthcare?
Sell Bio-Terrorism as a Pandemic?
Sell Financial Terrorism as Inflation?
Sell Digital Control Management Slave Systems as Convenient?
If the answer is Yes to any of the above.
Bill Gates is a Terrorist."

I would have bled out in the parking lot
Amber Nicole Thurman's death is on Trump's hands
Bess Kalb
Sep 17
In 2019, about six weeks after my first child was born, I found myself on the bathroom floor in a small, but nonetheless unsettling puddle of blood.
“Oh no,” I remember thinking. “I just did the laundry.”
I called out my husband’s name, but the sound caught in my throat. The pain I felt inhaling to get enough air out of my lungs to yell the two syllables in “Char-lie” jabbed my guts like a bicycle spoke to the abdomen.
So I was quiet, trying to keep breathing in a way that didn’t move anything inside me, and the pain pulsed a bit, then steadied, then dulled, then evaporated into whatever hell ether it came from.
Because there is no G-d (unless there is, in which case I abbreviated His name so as not to desecrate it, and also thank you, King of the Universe, for subscribing to this newsletter) this was the one time in my life I hadn’t brought my phone with me to the bathroom.
I decided to sort of slither-lumber to the door like a lame harbor seal, because I didn’t want to stand and loosen the spoke that had just stabbed me. I reached for the knob and let the door creak open.
The cat was there, looking at me right at eye level, keenly aware what was happening, and completely unmoved by it.
“You are dying,” he blinked, “Pity. Have a nice time.” He sashayed away.
Fortunately, our house in Los Angeles was small enough that from the bathroom door one could see everything. My husband was sitting on the couch with our infant, and I knocked on the open door to summon him. Within one one thousandth of a second, he set the baby on the (since-recalled) donut pillow and was holding my head.
I sat up. I breathed. No pain. I took a picture of the bloody mess on my husband’s phone, texted it to myself, he found my phone, then I texted the picture to my OBGYN.
Apologies for being graphic, but within the puddle there was something roughly the size and shape and color of a fig.
“Is this ok?” I said to my doctor, the bicycle spoke scraping lightly at my insides again from all the lumbering.
“Come in,” she replied.
Within two hours, I was in the waiting room of her office, accompanied by my terrified but SMILING mother, who was still, as is the Jewish custom, in town for “a few days or so” after the birth.
An ultrasound which felt like the finger of Satan himself revealed there was retained placenta in my uterus. If I hadn’t come in, there would have been more hemorrhaging, then sepsis, then whatever the cat foretold.
The next day, I was in surgery getting a Dilation and Curettage.
I went home, pumped the anesthesia milk, then fell asleep perfectly fine, my sweet newborn cooing merrily in the bassinet next to his alive mother.
Amber Nicole Thurman’s story was the same as mine, but it happened to her in Georgia in 2024, not California in 2019. She was a Black woman in a healthcare system that disproportionately kills Black women, especially postpartum. In 2021, the Black maternal mortality rate was nearly three times the rate it is for white women. Post-Roe, the toll is and will continue to be staggering.
Because post-Roe, the procedure that saved my life, the D&C, is something doctors cannot perform in states where matters of life and death have been left up to non-medical Christian-supremacist superstitions.
I know the pain Amber Thurman felt when that placenta dislodged and carved its tiny, treacherous hole in her uterine wall. I know the terror she felt when she saw the blood, and the rush of dread when she thought of what her child would do without her.
And when I vote in November for Kamala Harris and every progressive down-ballot candidate, I will do it because she can’t. And I will do it so that women in Georgia and Idaho and Texas and North Dakota and South Dakota and Utah, Arizona, Nebraska Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina, and West Virginia won’t have to meet the same completely preventable doom.
This election isn’t just about Amber Thurman. Every day of my lucky, breathing life is about Amber Thurman. Because the only thing that separates us, is one of us bled out under the right Supreme Court.
Let’s raise absolute federal hell about it.
-- From Bess Kalb's newsletter The Grudge Report. I pay for this substack -- though it's free-- and think this is a message worth sharing far beyond her newsletter.

By Fiona Callingham
The NHS has said people could be unknowingly spreading the infection to others.
The NHS has issued a 10-day Covid warning in a bid to reduce the spread of infection amid a rise in cases. According to the latest data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Covid cases in England rose by 17.8 percent in one week while deaths increased by 27.3 percent.
In the week up to October 9 there were a total of 3,496 Covid cases - 529 more than the seven days prior. There were also 163 deaths (up by 35) and 2,622 hospital admissions (up by 149).
Although there are no longer any mandatory rules about self-isolation if you have Covid, the NHS still advises avoiding contact with others if becoming ill. The UK's health body warns that COVID-19 spreads “very easily through close contact with people who have the virus”.
It explains: “When someone with COVID-19 breathes, speaks, coughs or sneezes, they release small droplets containing the virus. You can catch it by breathing in these droplets, or by touching surfaces covered in them and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
“You are more likely to catch it indoors and in crowded places.”
he NHS added that you can still be infectious for “up to 10 days”. You can also still catch or spread COVID-19 if you:
Do not have symptoms Are fully vaccinated Have had the virus before. Therefore, if you test positive for Covid, the NHS says you should:
Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for five days after the day you took your test if you are 18 years old or over Avoid meeting people who are more likely to get seriously ill from viruses, such as people with a weakened immune system, for 10 days after the day you took your test.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive, there are things you can do to help you avoid passing it on to other people, including those you live with:
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and encourage children to do this Regularly clean surfaces you touch often (such as door handles and remote controls) and in shared spaces, such as kitchens or bathrooms Try to stay away from other people, including those you live with, until you feel better Let people who need to come into your home know that you’ve tested positive or have symptoms Think about asking friends, family or neighbours to get food and other essentials for you avoid indoor or crowded places (including public transport or large social gatherings) or places where there is not much fresh air if you need to leave your home Wear a face covering when it's hard to stay away from other people Let healthcare professionals know about your positive test result or symptoms if you’re asked to attend an appointment in person. This comes as a new variant is now thought to account for one in 10 Covid cases in the UK.
The XEC variant was first discovered in Germany and has since been found in 27 countries across Europe, Asia, and North America.
The global case count exceeds 600, including 82 confirmed instances within the UK.
It is thought to be highly transmissible due to a number of mutations it carries with experts believing it could become the dominant strain.
Symptoms Symptoms of Covid can include:
A high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature) A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste Shortness of breath Feeling tired or exhausted An aching body A headache A sore throat A blocked or runny nose Loss of appetite Diarrhoea Feeling sick or being sick. Booster jabs will be available until December 20 this year. They will be offered to those deemed most vulnerable to Covid, which include:
Over-65s People aged between six months and 64 years with health conditions that make them more vulnerable People living in care homes for older people Frontline health and social-care staff, including in care homes for older people.
The NHS will contact eligible patients directly, but they can also book their own appointments now via the NHS App, GPs, pharmacies, drop-in clinics, or by calling 119. Anyone also entitled to the flu jab, will be offered this at the same time.

Thousands of doctors and healthcare professionals signed a petition earlier this year calling for the immediate suspension of all COVID-19 mRNA ‘vaccines
They said the jabs were contributing to an alarming rise in disability and excess deaths.
Known as the HOPE Accord, the online petition makes five calls to the international community in relation to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, that were given emergency use authorisation, stating that “a growing body of evidence suggests that they are contributing to an alarming rise in disability and excess deaths”.
The petition has been followed up by an open letter to the UK’s General Medical Council (GMC) this week. It was drafted by British Indian Consultant Cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra who has been campaigning for a more evidence-based approach to all COVID vaccines.
The Daily Sceptic reports: The petition calls for “independent investigations to be properly resourced to allow a comprehensive re-evaluation of all COVID-19 products. There must be a full exploration of mechanisms of harm to provide insight into their effect on the human body, both short and long term.”
There are additional calls for immediate recognition and support for the vaccine-injured. “The vaccine-injured must be recognised, and every effort must be made to understand their conditions. Support should include readily accessible multidisciplinary clinics offering investigation and treatment, as well as appropriate compensation for all those who have been harmed.”

So- I'm new to the blog, so please forgive me if this has already been answered...
What happened to Racheal?
She looked like she was still quite young in the pictures you've shown...
You're all good m8, and welcome to the blog ^^ It's humbling to have people come across it and want to know more!
Rachael in her 60's still looks like she would be in her adult years mostly due to better skin care and healthcare in the future. some of the shitposts I've made with her, she's been younger but sometimes older. The photo of them together in the comic, she's probably 40ish. (I do have to make it a habit of marking her age more often lol) The more unsatisfying answer to her age is: When I designed her, my art skills weren't (and still probably aren't) capable of aging her up in a fashion I was happy with, she was stuck in an uncanny valley. I'll retry it one day soon :> but I'll stick with the skincare lore XD
In regards to what happened to Rachael? (assuming you mean what was her cause of death?) I can give the vague answer (below) or the nitty gritty truth under the 'keep reading'. Spoilers for that one (as it's meant to happen in the fanfic).
Rachael was severely poisoned when battling Okita's creator (Professor Drake) and her Deoxys. Rachael and Okita were trespassing in the early hours, before they were caught and a fight broke out.
Thanks for the ask! [spoiler content under here]
Both Rachael and Okita were sneaking into Professor Drake's mansion to retrieve documents to prove that Aunuran mewtwos were created by her, to incriminate both her and Team Helix Rocket. Rachael was both severely poisoned by an enhanced poison jab from Deoxys. In an attempt to save her from Deoxys' attack, Okita used her black hole attack for the first time in battle, hitting both of them; breaking their bones in the process. The difference being, Deoxys are immortal, just like mewtwos.
That leads into the events that are 'dreamt' up by Okita in the first chapter. :>

THE MAN MADE HIMSELF A SHIRT. I REPEAT THE MAN MADE HIMSELF A SHIRT! That was why he took my markers earlier today! And i had the audacity to think he’d be normal and that the mind map paper was the worst of it all. He took a white shirt and wrote with a sharpie ’Team Brian’ on it. He said he even watched youtube videos to learn how to like stitch it in but gave up after he hurt himself with a needle. He made 3 extra shirts, 2 for our parents that he express sent to them and one for me. He wrote a note with the package to our parents that said ‘if you love me, you’ll wear it’ So I cannot wait to see how that goes (fr imagine getting that sent to you, just a shirt and a note.) And the best(?) part of it all is he wore the shirt to the damn doctor check up! I almost forced him out of it but then at the last second thought to myself ‘for the content..gotta let him be dumb for the people on tumblr, they would want me to do it.’ (At this point I’m just going with the drugged up idiot flow) The doctor took one look at him when he walked into the office and sighed. I forgot that they had to deal with him for two days during his new found love, so i have no clue what all he put them through. And he tried to ignore it at first but my brother kept pulling at his shirt and smiling at him so the doctor went ‘(brothers name) i see youre in the arts and crafts part of your obsession..’ and all my brother said was ‘bro…i mean Doctor Bro, you have no clue. I am stressed! I am tired! I stayed up all night thinking. Nobody cares about my feelings. Nobody cares about what I have to say and think, i have no one in my corner. And now the worst of all, he ran off with a kazoo player! Do you know how dumb that is?!’ The second my brother looked away, the doctor looked at me and mouthed ‘kazoo?’ And I mimicked a violin and the guy had to cover up a laugh. I feel like the doctor is cursing at HIPAA cause if i was him, id want everyone to know about this dumbass at my work. I will report back when my parents get the package (should be like two days or so). He asked at the post office if they will receive it in less than a week ‘because it is important, very, very important! Like life or death situation’ and then he panicked that they’d think he is sending something illegal so he went ‘it’s shirts! Like this one’ *shows his shirt* and then idk what went through his head because he went ‘it’s from a show I’m watching. I swear im not just being weird about Brians’
Dear sweet anon, I was settling in with an afternoon coffee on the couch to do some work on my tablet and your message popped up before I turned on my work DND (otherwise every notification I get is like 👀 surely someone reblogging this this is more important that the thing I am literally paid to do, you know how it is). And I’m so glad that I saw this before I “hunkered down” for some paperwork. Blech.
Nobody cares about my feelings. Nobody cares about what I have to say and think, i have no one in my corner. OH BROTHER ANON you have tens of people in your corner. We DO care about your feelings and one day you will know.
The arts and crafts part of his obsession! I die. He’s going to get an etsy or redbubble store before this is over and start selling fanart phone cases (not a jab, I have a fanart phone case!).
So about HIPAA. HIPAA only applies to healthcare information and identifying information. So for therapists, that’s basically everything (although I will frequently say a client recommended a TV show to me because that is not healthcare information [uh your brother’s qaf obsession would be though] and it’s not identifying). And HIPAA doesn’t apply to consulting with other medical professionals without identifying information (so I could say to a fellow therapist “I have a client who ripped his stitches after surgery due to excitement about a TV show, my own bar for how normal this is is a bit fucked, should I be concerned?”) So I can absolutely guarantee that your brother’s doctor is at the very least telling his fellow doctors about your brother. I promises you they are in the break room laughing about this.
IAN PLAYS A KAZOO. Sorry if this shows up in a fic of mine in the future… this is very Brian coded. No offense to kazoo players. I’m sure they are a lovely bunch who do not deserve to be grouped in with Ethan.
#ask winderlylandchime#dear sweet anon#queer as folk#a straight man watches qaf us 2000 in the year of our lord 2023

Vaccination: A Journey, Not Just a Jab

Maintain Records: Keep a detailed vaccination record for future reference.
Prioritize Health: Ensure your child is well-rested and healthy on the day of vaccination to minimize discomfort.
The Emotional Side of Immunization
For every parent, watching their child wince at the prick of a needle is heart-wrenching. Yet, within that moment of vulnerability lies strength — a testament to the love and care that drives them to prioritize their child’s future. Vaccination is not just a choice; it’s an act of hope, ensuring that every child grows up free to chase their dreams without the shadow of preventable illness.

I would severely disagree that the views of Silco and Vander are equally valid, or even treated as such. Though the show initially vaguely implies that, it sides entirely with Vander in the second season.
The show continuously relies on a very simple trick to achieve this effect that Vander's approach is supposedly the better, more humane one: They simply do not show the suffering within Zaun during the time when Vander was in charge (season 1 ep 1-3) and again in that alternate universe (season 2 ep 7).
Are we supposed to believe that things were generally fine during this time? Since we don't see any shimmer addicts in slums?
Are there no people dying of lack of proper food, lack of clean water, lack of breathable air, lack of healthcare for even just easily preventable/treatable disease and injuries, lack of shelter, etc? Are there not hard drugs being sold by organized crime gangs? The show itself provides sufficient clues that this is happening, though they refuse to show it. Victor grew up in the undercity during that time, he's dying from illness he received from being exposed to the toxic air. The "council archives" minigame has a jab at Vi in prison being assumed to be addicted to some sort of powdered drug, since she keeps talking about Powder.
The main difference between Silco and Vander is that Vander is content with things being alright for only himself and his close loved-ones, but fuck everyone else. He has carved out his own little warlord-fiefdom from the undercity, under the auspicious of Piltover's enforcers, for whom he is a collaborator. We see from his interaction with Grayson that it's completely business-as-usual for the enforcers to approach him when they are hunting for people in the undercity and, from the way they easily get along and act pretty much like old friends, that usually Vander would hand them over without much hassle (except of course this specific time, since now his personal loved-ones are on the line). Meanwhile Silco aims for nothing less than the complete liberation of all of Zaun, no matter how long and vicious the detour to get there may be.
Silco's approach is the only one that can hope to actually achieve something, as long as the goal is to actually improve things for all of Zaun. But endorsing armed resistance as a means for liberation - a liberal show can't have that, now can it? So they stick some goofy villain shit on Silco's character to discredit him, have him dangle vials of shimmer over suffering addicts, just to really drive home the point that this is actually the very mean no-good bad guy who should not be seen as a positive example, while Vander's approach, which essentially boils down to the liberal's most dear virtue "fuck you, got mine" is framed in such a way that his personal wealth and fortune is misleadingly implied to be general a characteristic of Zaun at large during his time.
So all in all a slightly more sophisticated version of the traditional method of creating a "villain" with correct intentions, giving them one (or a few) comically bad trait(s), and then pretending that somehow discredits the good point he was making. While opposingly having a character who embodies pure stagnation, who actively prevents any sort of positive change from happening (as the liberal wants irl in regards to, for example, the global south stuck below the west), but he's portrayed as a nice guy, so his useless/harmful liberal politics are now treated as somehow virtuous and validated.
Vander's line “Who are you willing to lose? Powder?” rings incredibly hollow, when Vander was already willing to sacrifice all of Zaun to a slow death, to secure his personal advantageous position within the undercity.
So yeah, I would severely disagree that the views of Silco and Vander are equally valid.
So what I loved about the conflict between the dads in s1 and how it sets up the stakes is that they believe the same thing but have opposing beliefs/attitudes about it, and that neither of them are wrong. Actually the narrative validates both of their views.
With Silco it’s more obvious, they need to resist, Piltover won’t just change its mind, nothing will get better by itself etc etc. however the narrative also proves Vander right. His stance was that the price for ‘progress’ is too high, that the base violence necessary for change is too much, and he’s right.
“Who are you willing to lose? Powder?” cut to Silco running up to Jinx on the bridge. And then follow it up with the independence deal. And then Silco’s is at Vander’s statue moping about how he understands him now.
However Vander’s attitude of borderline complete pacifism fails to protect the Lanes and his kids from enforcers and inside threats like Silco. And Silco’s quest for independence would have cost him a price that is too high for him to pay. Vander thought he could keep the peace by just ignoring Piltover and he was wrong and Silco thought that he could pull this off cos he’d do anything for independence and he was also wrong, even he had a limit, one he just didn’t realize before. Neither of them had the answer and it lead to their demise.
I was really looking forward to how they’d follow this up 😅😅😅
That’s why the idea of stuff being easily solved in the au rings so hollow to me. Silco giving up is just ooc but s1 also rejects the idea that things would have just worked out. In s1 there were steep prices for characters to pay for making the wrong choices and sometimes there were only wrong choices to choose from. In that way s2 feels like smth made for Disney channel. Same with the idea that Vander got radicalized. While more plausible if Vi died and maybe the other kids were in danger why do this time around things just magically work out? Where’s the ‘give me Jinx and I’ll give you your independent nation of Zaun’ moment? It’s so cheap to go back on what they established in s1 about how this world/narrative worked, that Vander was right, the price IS way too high to pay.
I’m honestly not even sure what happened with PnZ in the au or in the main timeline but whatever it was it feels like a cop-out. I’d think that in the au Vander chose to join Silco but in the main timeline they talk about ‘letting go and walking away from the cycle of violence’ so essentially just like Vander in s1a1, right? Even tho s1 proved Vander wrong??
That’s why I liked s1 and would say it was good cos it was complicated in such ways, there were no easy answers. what they’re doing feels so reductive compared to what was established about this narrative in s1 and I’m not sure if even the writers know what message they’re trying to convey.

In the afterevents of the pizzeria fire that resulted in the destruction of so many animatronics, the death of the night guard, and the suicide of Henry Emily, Fazbear Entertainment Incorporated decided that they needed a fresh start. As the public's wariness wound down once more, Fazbear decided to cash in on the growing mental healthcare market. And what better to clear their name than a building and programming meant to keep children safe and alive?
It started with the VR game of course, a lighthearted jab at the past, to show they've changed, they're safe now. Soon after, the "brand new" Fazbear Inpatient Facility opened and began accepting patients aged 0 to 18!
Now, 7 years down the line, Fazbear has had moderate success with the hospital. There have been hiccups, sure, but any new building has those, right? They're even ready to expand into research and development! Everything is going great, considering it's a mental hospital.
So why can't you shake the nagging suspicion that the troubles are just beginning?
I'm sure it's fine.

The masked figure stood there, practically frozen with his eyeless mask just staring down at her. It was giving the couple an eerie feeling. Ramon takes Peach by the hand and began to lead her over to The Mayor. He gives a small shudder once they were away from him.
"I did not like him. When he was staring at us like that, it was like he though we were both beneath him. I don't know how to explain it. Dad? Who even is that guy?"
"Everyone simply knows the guy as "The Emperor." He's had that clone of yours for a while now, and I have no idea how he managed to get that dna from Rayman. I assure you I never gave it to him knowingly. I'm not too fond of the idea of clones for the purpose of acting as your stand in. Don't worry about the jabs, they don't bother me.
I don't blame you for turning him down, Peach. I don't trust him to handle the kingdom either. We have a long history, the two of us. We were always butting heads with our ideals on how to run a city. You've seen how I run Utopia. Fair wages, plenty of work oppertunities, good healthcare available to all. The Emperor promises these things, but with ulterior motives. You get the fair wages, but you are often working yourself to death. Plenty of work oppertunities, but you must do the job that is assigned to you. There is no freedom of choice. Good healthcare available to all, but your records aren't kept private. You're put into a system that he can view for his own purposes.
I support your decision, my dear."
"Good. Now, why don't you join us for tea? I want to go over some things with our upcoming wedding with you."
Those words.... the princess took that with a bit of a bit of a confused and shocked expression was he insulting her father in law ﹖𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 ﹖
Oh that is a huge no in her book, she will not tolerate that kind of things in her presence. Besides that those words alone.... and not only that, that economy that he was propossing wouldn't work unless done with an iron fist.
And she might not know much about echonomy, or used not know much. Thanks to the classes she was having with everyone, she has the knowledge of a princess now.
And for her life, she was very critical with everything that was happening. And was being said, so she ignored that man entirely and litened to the much softer Rayman.
“ 𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚍'𝚜 𝙳𝙽𝙰. 𝙷𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚊 𝚋𝚒𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚜𝚔𝚒𝚗 𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚊 𝚘𝚛 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚊 𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛... 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜.... 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚛. 𝙸𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗... 𝙴𝚡𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚊 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝, 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞 ﹖”
Asked Peach as she bowed sightly in front of the other Rayman as she listened to her beloved one speak, and she agreed with everything that was happening.
So approaching to the masked figure, the ex-princess acted calm. But had a serious expresion in her features.
“ 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚊𝚏𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚛, 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚗𝚘. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚊 𝚕𝚘𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝙵𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚘 𝚒𝚗 𝚊 𝚠𝚊𝚢... 𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚓𝚊𝚋 𝚝𝚘𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚖𝚢 𝚏𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚕𝚊𝚠 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚜𝚘 𝚊 𝚍𝚎𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎.

going off the "super chill fight" ask, how would the ROs react if the MC got hurt by a patient? like the patient lashed out or something and punched MC really, really hard
ouch
I'm going to answer this ask assuming the patient is still riled up and ready to fight.
Eli: Immediately ready to throw hands, professionalism be damned.
Davy: Would automatically step between the patient and the MC, so the MC didn't get hurt any further. “Touch them again, and you’ll regret it.”
Jean: "No!" -jabs finger at patient- "You do not behave this way. Sit the fuck down. If you so much as move, so help me--"
Vic: Would make themselves as tall and threatening as possible. "I would choose your next move very carefully."
Dr. Grey: Would say very coolly, "I highly suggest you don't try anything like that again." His tone? Absolutely terrifying.
Dr. Sloan: "We are in a hospital. You will behave like you are in a hospital. Calm down, sit down, or I will have you on your ass outside of this hospital so fast, you'll still have an IV in you."

RO reactions to MC getting physically hurt trying to protect them? Like pushing them out of the way of smt
ouch
Let's go full drama and say the MC pushed them out of the way of a car.
Eli: "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. No, no, no." Would be half trying to perform first aid, half crying/sobbing hysterically. Would not leave the MC's side--the paramedics would literally have to pry them away (and, even then, probably wouldn't succeed).
Davy: Outwardly, calm and collected, trying to do damage control and keep the MC awake. But, their fingers are shaking. And there's a tremble in their voice. "Why would you do that? Why would you--"
Jean: Would be having a full-blown panic attack. All medical knowledge has left their brain. Crying, gasping for breath, calling out the MC's name. Cradling the MC's head in their hands. "MC. MC. Please. Don't--don't--"
Vic: Would go into crisis mode and immediately start first aid. While waiting for the ambulance, would be holding the MC's hand in a death-grip. "If you fucking die on me, I'll never forgive you."
Dr. Grey: Would be the calmest out of the ROs. Scarily efficient, immensely protective. Don't even think about fucking up around him right now--paramedics, he's looking at you (and, yes, he will be riding in the ambulance). "Hey, love, stay with me. You'll be all right. You'll be fine."
Dr. Sloan: Like Vic and Dr. Grey, would immediately stamp down her feelings about the matter to administer first aid. Still, her heart's racing in her ears--and, fuck, where's the ambulance? She normally has a short fuse, but watch out now--one misstep with the MC's care, and she'll be tearing into you. "You'll be okay. Just keep your eyes on me."

Thanks for Clicking!
As a healthcare professional-in-training, I’ve been working on a medical drama game with a healthy dash of romance added.
Please note, Citadel and this Tumblr may contain adult themes unsuitable for underage readers such as graphic depictions of medicine (including death), strong language, and sexual content.
Please enjoy and leave comments/suggestions/etc.! Also, feel free to leave something in the ask box!
It’s the not-so-distant future, and the landscape of medicine has been irrevocably changed. Once incurable diseases are now completely manageable. Metastatic cancer. Alzheimer’s. These patients have a new lease on life, and it’s all thanks to Citadel Health’s NINO technique. But, like all innovations in medicine, there’s more to it than meets the eye…
Play as a first-year surgery intern at Citadel Health. Will you become the star intern and curry the favor of the chief? Or will you uncover Citadel Health’s secrets and break a story or two? This will be the best and worst year of your life. Don’t forget to save lives and break some hearts along the way.
Elliot/Ellen Sanford (he/him, she/her):
Your roommate, and Citadel Health medicine intern. You and Eli have known each other since the beginning of medical school. Can come off as a bit of a slacker, but cares deeply about providing the best possible care to patients. Aspires to become a geriatrician.
Davy Jackson (they/them):
Fellow Citadel Health surgery intern. Very self-assured, very sassy. Has huge ambitions to become a leading surgeon of the NINO technique and isn’t afraid to hide them. Whether they’re your friend, frenemy, or enemy is up to you.
Jean Liu (she/her, he/him):
Resident (hah!) coffee-drinker, and Citadel Health medicine intern. Born and bred in the Bay Area, this is really their first time out of California (and they’re already regretting it…). Would love to do a fellowship in Pulmonology/Critical Care to become an ICU attending.
Victor/Victoria Uytterhoeven (he/him, she/her):
One of the chief surgery residents at Citadel Health. Strict, jacked, and full of angst.
Dr. Peter Grey (he/him):
Chief of NINO Surgery at Citadel Health, and one of the early pioneers of the NINO technique. Perfect for your McDreamy fantasies.
Dr. Ivy Sloan (she/her):
Medicine attending at Citadel Health. Smiles rarely. Compliments residents even more rarely. Perfect for your House fantasies.

Happy Sun-yay everyone!
I’m in the middle of residency interview season, so I apologize for this very delayed progress note + the sporadic posting.
1) Case 2: Chapter 2 is at 17,000+ words...and I’d say we’re about at the halfway point. Most of you indicated that you’d like the next chapter released all at once when it’s finished rather than my releasing it in two parts, so please bear with me haha!
2) Thank you for your patience regarding asks! I’m going to shoot for posting one ask per day, but no guarantees...
3) There are now 21 (!) fics on the AO3 Citadel page. Check out some amazing content written by very talented people. Link here!
4) Another shameless plug for the Discord! You can find short snippets from me, as well as amazing content in both art/writing from others. You might also occasionally find me hosting Chats with Bouncy, where I hop into voice-chat and engage in shenanigans.
5) Commissions are closed (thank you to those who bought them up!). But, if you’d like to donate to support my writing, feel free to visit my Ko-Fi link! Donations go to commissioning wonderful art, so if you’d like to see more art, click that donate button!
Cheers!

Extracts of the the Judge’s reasoning and analysis:
On November 4, 2020, Plaintiff Brianne Dressen received AstraZeneca’s experimental COVID vaccine as part of a clinical trial in Salt Lake County. 4 Velocity Clinical Research, Inc. (Velocity) administered the trial on AstraZeneca’s behalf. 5 Before receiving the inoculation, Dressen signed an informed consent form (ICF) that outlined her rights and responsibilities as a trial participant and disclosed possible side effects of the vaccine.6 Under the terms of the ICF, the parties agreed AstraZeneca would “reimburse[] for time and travel in the amounts of $125.00 per each completed study visit and $30.00 for each completed phone call.”7 The parties also agreed that a “study doctor” would “provide medical treatment or refer [Dressen] for treatment” if Dressen became ill or injured while participating in the study.8 Additionally, AstraZeneca disclosed that it had an insurance policy to “cover the costs of research injuries as long as [Dressen] followed [the] study doctor’s instructions.”9 AstraZeneca confirmed it would “pay the costs of medical treatment for research injuries, provided that the costs are reasonable, and [Dressen] did not cause the injury [her]self.”10 At the same time, the parties agreed federal law may limit Dressen’s right to sue for injuries caused by the vaccine: Due to the coronavirus public health crisis, the federal government has issued an order that may limit your right to sue if you are injured or harmed while participating in this COVID-19-related clinical study. If the order applies, it limits your right to sue the researchers, healthcare providers, any Sponsor or manufacturer or distributor involved with the Study. You may be prevented from making claims for injuries that have a causal relationship with the use of the investigational product in this Study, including, but not limited to, claims for death; physical, mental, or emotional injury, illness, disability, or condition; fear of physical, mental, or emotional injury, illness, disability, or condition, including any need for medical monitoring; and loss of or damage to property, including business interruption loss. However, the federal government has a program that may provide compensation to you or your family if you experience serious physical injuries or death. If funds are appropriated by Congress, compensation for injuries may be available to you under this Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.11 Within an hour of receiving the vaccine, Dressen’s right arm began tingling.12 The sensation, a condition called paresthesia, soon spread to her right shoulder and left arm.13 Later the same day, Dressen began experiencing a host of other symptoms, including blurred vison, tinnitus, nausea, and sound sensitivity.14 Dressen first visited an emergency room three days after receiving the vaccine.15 The doctor who treated her diagnosed her with a “vaccine reaction.”16 She returned to the emergency room four days later, and the next day she visited a nurse practitioner at Utah Valley Neurological who diagnosed her with an “immunization reaction.”17 Thirteen days after receiving the vaccine, Dressen visited an otolaryngologist to seek care for “acute sensitivities to light and sound.”18 The doctor noted Dressen was suffering from “a likely side effect due to an increased immune response to the vaccine.”19

Brazil turns the tide with Covid-19 vaccines
Brazil is one of the fastest vaccinating countries on the planet, after a late and chaotic start that continues to take its toll on President Jair Bolsonaro.
[Image description: woman receives a jab of the CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine from a healthcare worker at a drive-thru vaccination post in Brasilia on September 13, 2021.]
Despite a slow start plagued by much controversy that still haunts President Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's coronavirus vaccination campaign is now one of the fastest-paced and farthest-reaching in the world.
While boasting a globally renowned vaccination system, the country of 213 million people only started coronavirus inoculations in January, several weeks after the United States, many European countries and others in South America.
The rollout was delayed by political bickering under a president who belittled the pandemic and spread vaccine falsehoods, then hamstrung by logistical difficulties in the vast country.
But the country with the world's second-highest Covid-19 death toll – more than 588,000 fatalities reported to date – has seen its coronavirus vaccination rate pick up and its death rate tumble as imported jabs started arriving and local production began.
Continue reading.

Omicron (V) - various reports
youtube
The International Monetary Fund is warning that the new Omicron coronavirus variant is likely to delay the global economic recovery from the pandemic. The fund is expecting to downgrade its forecasts for world growth this year and next. That's even though the World Health Organization says it has no evidence yet of any deaths connected to Omicron. The new variant is spreading rapidly in many countries. South Africa in particular is seeing an alarming wave of infections. More young children are being hospitalized, and authorities are concerned that people who've already had COVID-19 are being reinfected. Healthcare workers in South Africa have their hands full since scientists there first detected the Omicron variant last week. And it's been found across South Africa. Just a quarter of the population has been fully vaccinated. But it is not clear yet how far the current vaccines protect against an infection with Omicron. South Africa's public health authorities warn that more children and young adults are being hospitalized with the coronavirus. Many countries have placed new restrictions on travelers from South Africa, and even shut borders. And the Scientists who alerted the world to the Omicron variant are facing a backlash at home. Face masks are mandatory, and there are limits on the number of people who can attend indoor and outdoor gatherings. But Omicron continues its invisible race across South Africa.
youtube
The new Covid variant Omicron was present in the Netherlands earlier than previously thought, officials have said. It was identified in two test samples taken in the country between 19 and 23 November, which is before the variant was first reported by South Africa. It is not clear whether those who took the tests had visited southern Africa. Oxford University has said there is no evidence vaccines would not prevent severe disease, but earlier Moderna jolted markets when it said Covid jabs were unlikely to be as effective against Omicron.
youtube
A top South African scientist says there has been a sharp rise in new cases in COVID-19 as the new variant omicron spreads across the country. But Dr Michelle Groome says more data is needed before any conclusions can be drawn about how infection and dangerous the variant is. So far omicron has been detected in over two dozen countries. It was first identified in Botswana and South Africa: which has now been cut off from air travel by many nations. Here in Europe, the variant has been detected in at least thirteen countries, from Norway and Germany in the north, to Italy and Portugal in the south. Researchers say they will need 2 or 3 weeks to work out whether Omicron is more transmissible than the now-dominant Delta strain, resistant to vaccines, or causes more severe symptoms than previous coronavirus variants.
youtube
THE World Health Organisation has said it expects to have more information on Omicron transmission 'within days', as the organisation calls for a 'balanced and proportionate approach' to tackling the variant. The WHO Director General, Doctor Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said blanket travel bans "will not prevent the international spread of Omicron", and also "place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods", as he called on calm. Whether the variant is more transmissible or evades vaccines are some of the major questions that still need answering. Vaccine developers have said it will take about two weeks to assess whether their shots are effective against it. Van Kerkhove said one possible scenario was that the new variant, which was first reported in southern Africa, may be more transmissible than the dominant Delta variant. She said it was not yet known if Omicron makes people more ill. WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said the agency believes the existing COVID-19 vaccines will work against the variant.
youtube
The new COVID-19 variant Omicron was first identified by researchers in South Africa. But they point out that doesn't necessarily mean it originated there. It is more an indication of the country's prowess when it comes to gene sequencing.
