Sorry to my inbox, I know I have messages to respond to, unfortunately my state is currently under water and I have family and friends and neighbors I'm trying to locate and help atm. If you see me on here it's not because I'm here, it's because I'm trying to get five fucking minutes where my head isn't just airraid sirens

Much love to all, we are all just doing our best to survive ❤️💚

if its alright to ask questions about your specbio sophont species, what about the alternate earth allows them to get big, since arthropods’ limiting factor for size is getting oxygen through their body? do they evolve a different circulatory or respiratory system, or does this earth have insane amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere? i adore the way you draw arthropods and i love seeing more specbio!!

I LOVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM!!!!! and you were right with their guess about the atmosphere containing more oxygen!!! I haven't figured out how that would happen yet, maybe just an absolutely ABSURD amount of algae photosynthesising their algae asses off.. I'm not super knowledgeable about that area of Beautiful Planet Earth yet!! if anybody has ideas let me know :3

One of my favorite things about how slang evolves is thinking about how the society of the future is going to study us - we who are collectively the first and the last humans to experience how a social internet landscape has contributed heavily to the overall cultural development of how we communicate. Like how can you even comprehend what "blorbo from my shows" means if you were not around to experience a) the shows, b) the blorbos, or c) the divine moment when some random person dropped the phrase on a tumblr post probably without a second thought and it spread like wildfire and suddenly we all had a precise phrase to effectively convey the complicated tangle of the depth of our emotions for our chosen favorite characters in media and it connected us all, and it was beautiful? Linguists of the future could never.

Additional thought: it is unlikely that Thistle would just tell Kiera his name right from the start. And addressing him as the "Lunatic Magician" to his face is kinda weird. So for the first months of knowing each other, Kiera adopted a particular annoying nickname for him.

After some time, he had to directly ask Kiera to just call him "Thistle", if she insists on talking to him. Because he swears to all gods, if he has to hear her calling him "wizard boy~" one more fucking time-

Current fanfic pet peeve: people who don't understand how breathing works.

[emcads]

I’ve been thinking about vampire anatomy mostly because of smut threads and i am considering her respiratory system operating more or less like a snake’s, with one human lung falling into atrophy, and still able to intake oxygen while feeding. she would require a lot less breathing than a human would in normal circumstances (next to none when dormant), but the demands are increased in heightened physical activity like hunting, or sex. but when she’s not fed well she has to breathe more, as the blood that’s in low supply needs to be kept oxygenated.

As the Final Sif is, this is a pretty exciting development. Is it possible this will be taken in a cynical, abusive direction? Yes, absolutely, that's happened with most of our developments to be honest, but to be perfect honest the only way something can't be mis-used is if it is useless.

If we hold back developments for fear that it will be mis-used we'll never get anywhere.

But just like I think city lights have their own beauty I don't think these are ugly, far from it, they look quite beautiful in a way. Will it replace a tree? No. Even if it handles the oxygen production, there's other things a tree provides.

Plus there's room for multiple aesthetics in the world and the practicality is certainly there.

I want to swim (hates swimming) I want to swim in the ocean (scared of the ocean) (hates swimming) I want to swim in the ocean like a seal-fish-bear thing (don’t have a tail to swim with) (scared of the ocean) (hates swimming)

Edit: I should also mention that I’m sorta scared of being in pools. My anxiety says a shark will come and get me :•(

"FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

9. Plaintiff Alexander Morris is an African American man and is the lead singer of the famous Motown group the "Four Tops." At the time of the incident the Four Tops were on a national music tour with the Temptations and had recently performed at the Grammy Awards.

10. On or about April 7, 2023; Plaintiff was transported to the Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital emergency room via ambulance, and he presented to the emergency room with difficulty breathing and chest pain, he was on oxygen, and he had a significant known history of cardiac disease including the placement of stints and defibrillator. During his hospitalization, Plaintiff was ultimately diagnosed with a heart infraction that may require a heart transplant, pneumonia, and he suffered three seizures during his stay.

11. When he presented to the emergency room Plaintiff informed a nurse and a security guard that he was a member of the famous Motown group the "Four Tops," and that he had current security concerns due to stalkers and fans.

12. Shortly after check-in a nurse Holly Jackson, a White male security guard Greg Ciesielski, and a White male emergency room doctor Brandon Harris Fishman, DO racially profiled him and/or profiled him based upon a perceived disability and placed an order for a psychological evaluation for Plaintiff because they did not believe he was a singer or member of the "Four Tops." Doctor Brandon Harris Fishman, DO, the emergency room doctor who was on staff met with Plaintiff and interviewed him, Plaintiff informed him of his medical history, and informed him that he was having difficulty breathing and chest pain. Defendants and Brandon Harris Fishman, DO wrongfully assumed he was mentally ill when he revealed his identity as a celebrity figure. Defendants and/or Brandon Harris Fishman, DO made the decision to remove him from oxygen and pursue a psychiatric evaluation instead despite his clear symptoms of cardiac distress and significant medical history.

13. Plaintiff had a valid identification on his person and could easily have been identified as a singer in the Four Tops group.

14. Brandon Harris Fishman, DO ordered a psychological evaluation for Plaintiff instead of ordering the emergency medical treatment he needed. Plaintiff was denied the emergency medical care he needed due to his heart condition and pneumonia, and instead a security guard was instructed to ensure he was placed into a restraining jacket and/or a four-point restraint mechanism, removed his belongings, and Plaintiff was told he was going to have a "psych eval" or psychological evaluation. Plaintiff was referred to Virjaya Gopal Kotha, MD for the psychological evaluation.

15. Plaintiff asked if he could prove his identity by showing his identification card, and the White male security guard ordered him to "sit his Black ass down." None of the nursing staff intervened to stop the racial discrimination and mistreatment of Plaintiff. Upon information and belief none of the nursing staff reported the mistreatment or use of the racial slur to a supervisor. Moreover, none of the nursing staff thought to simply ask for Plaintif's identification.

16. Plaintiff told medical staff he was having difficulty breathing and asked for the oxygen back but was ignored. Plaintiff asked to have the restraint device removed and asked for his personal belongings back so he could leave and seek treatment at another hospital, and he was told he was not free to leave; thus, he was falsely imprisoned and deprived of his personal property. During this time his medical condition continuously declined and he was denied the medical treatment he desperately needed.

17. Several security guards were called to surround the nursing station to ensure Plaintiff could not leave. During this entire incident Plaintiff was not being treated for his medical emergency, namely a severe heart condition and pneumonia. Defendant Hospital and Defendant Jackson blatantly refused to provide Plaintiff with medical treatment due to his race and/or perceived mental disability. Instead, Plaintiff received a deliberate misdiagnosis and received a lower standard of medical care based on his race that amounted to racial discrimination and delayed his actual diagnosis.

18. Finally, Plaintiff's wife came to the nursing station to collect his belongings and she saw what was transpiring and Plaintiff informed his wife that the doctors thought he was delusional. Plaintiff's wife informed one of the security officers that he was actually a member of the Four Tops, but he took no action on Plaintiff's behalf, and he was left in the restraints and denied medical treatment. A nurse came to Plaintiff's side, and Plaintiff asked to show the nurse the video of him performing at the Grammys. The nurse realized Plaintiff was a member of the Four Tops, and the nurse went and got the emergency room doctor to inform him. The emergency room doctor returned and said he was cancelling the psychological evaluation.

19. The restraint jacket was finally removed, and he was placed back on oxygen. Plaintiff was restrained for approximately an hour and a half or 90 minutes. As aforementioned, during his hospitalization, Plaintiff was ultimately diagnosed with a heart infraction that may require a heart transplant, pneumonia, and he suffered three seizures during his stay.

20. Plaintiff was offered a $25.00 gift card to Meijers as an apology for the dehumanization and discrimination he faced at the hands of the hospital. He refused to accept the gift card.

21. Subsequent to the incident, a security guard that worked at the hospital contacted Plaintiff and informed him that Greg Ciesielski the security guard that restrained Plaintiff and made the racist comment, made racist comments and jokes to him and other coworkers about African Americans, and that he frequently used excessive force with patients.

22. The security guard who called Plaintiff also reported that he witnessed employees tampering with the internal incident report made on the incident involving Plaintiff, and he believed the use of racial slur was removed from the internal incident report, and he stated that employees were instructed not to discuss the incident. The security guard also stated that Greg Ciesielski was not disciplined or suspended because of the incident.

23. As a result of the above actions and inactions of Defendants as described above and below, Plaintiff suffered injuries and damages. Defendants are sued jointly and severally."
