RICE Alzheimer's Research Institute

Terry died on 12 March 2015, having given his PCA a run for its money.  Open about his diagnosis, he has helped to unlock the secrecy and stigma that often surrounds dementia.  His legion of fans is undoubtedly grateful that despite the inevitable progression of the PCA he was able to fight his ‘embuggerance’ and continue to produce a number of both well-received and well-reviewed books.  Terry was also a great example to me in emphasizing how important it is that, in caring for people with any type of dementia, we always look for what people with a condition like PCA can still do, rather than what they can’t: by maximizing what is possible, a person can still live well with dementia for a significant time.

–Professor Roy Jones, Director of RICE (taken from “Terry Pratchett: His World”)

I wanted to post something for the Glorious 25th about the Research Institute for the Care of Older People (RICE) in Bath, where Sir Terry Pratchett received treatment for Post-Cortical Atrophy, the type of Alzheimer’s disease that eventually took his life. From the organization’s website:

RICE established one of the first memory clinic services in the UK in 1987 – a service which has since been widely replicated and is now considered standard and best practice by the NHS. In fact, RICE now runs the NHS Memory Clinic in Bath and North East Somerset on behalf of the local clinical commissioning group and local authority through a sub-contract with HCRG Care Group. To date, we’ve assessed, diagnosed, treated and advised 12,000 people with memory problems and their families in our memory clinic. 

Most of RICE’s clinical services and research activities take place in our own purpose built, specialist centre located on the Royal United Hospital site. The building of the RICE Centre was possible as a result of generous donations from major donors, trusts and foundations, and members of the public. RICE moved into the ground and first floor of the centre in 2008. Following the success of the DementiaPlus Appeal and further generous donations from major donors, trusts and foundations and members of the public, RICE converted the attic floor in 2019 to create more office space. This has given us access to much needed additional rooms and offices which will enable us to grow and run more services and activities. We’ve worked hard to ensure that the areas of the centre visited by our patients meets their needs and we regularly receive feedback on how much our patients enjoy their visit to our centre.

RICE not only provides clinical services to patients, but also conducts research into aging and dementia, including performing clinical trials for new drug treatments for memory-related diseases and developing other “techniques for diagnosing, managing, treating and understanding dementia and memory changes in older adults.”

Lady Lyn Pratchett is the patron of the organization, and the website includes a page about how people can donate funds or volunteer at the clinic and participate in fundraising events.

SO, if you’d like to help fund Alzheimer’s research on this Glorious 25th of May–or at any time–in honor of the Man in the Hat, take a look!

2024 – An incredible year! It’s new for me to have enough for an art recap, let alone an animated one. For years I'd been in “survival mode”, too burnt out to create anything unless it was for work.

Since the latter end of 2023 and all of 2024 I've been kinder to myself. I understand how I work better, figured out what works for me more. Embraced more of what I enjoy and found that spark again. I'd like to build on all I've learned, but if I fall short that’s okay too.

Thank you to everyone who’s found my little corner of the internet and showed immense love and support. I’m glad so many have enjoyed my lil animations and really appreciate everything so far. Unintentionally made this a Sonic-focused account, but I love all the fun and friends that’s brought along. Gives me an immense boost to keep going into next year, so I hope y’all stick around a bit longer!

Wish you all a happy new year! ✨

BONUS FOR TUMBLR: Please continue to scream and shout in the hashtags, I love that so much haha.

Big day for autistic people everywhere (it's me, I'm autistic people everywhere).

[egophiliac]

Hello! Hello! I hope your having an amazing day! Your art always cheers me up and makes me happy! Is there any character (can be from anywhere) in particular that you love but don't speak about a whole ton?

thank you! 💜🩷💜🩷 this might be cheating because I did use to talk about them a truly annoying amount, but there will always be a place in my heart for the OG bugsters, Poppy and Parad from Ex-Aid:

(Parad should be allowed to drink Baja Blast) (I don't think Emu would let him, but he SHOULD)

Lately I’ve been seeing creators being sad and feeling unmotivated and overall just feeling like there’s no reason to create. And I wanted to make this tiny post (as part of today’s feel good #221).

I want every single one of you, who constantly day by day create something, let that be gifsets, fanarts, fanfictions, countdown posts etc. - you are so so important. You are what makes being in the fandom fun, enjoyable and meaningful. You give meaning to everything. Believe me. And I wanna thank you all for tirelessly working and putting out content every day or whenever you can.

As we approach the end of the year I wanna thank you all for being so amazing. Every single one of you is so creative and amazing and all of your uniqueness is beautiful. Thank you for making every day a little better with your creations. It’s very easy to feel like nothing you do is good enough or feel like you don’t matter when the interaction is so low (and believe I am speaking from experience) but believe me your worth cannot be measured by numbers. Your worth lies in what that one person who had and extremely bad day feels when they see a gifset/fanart/gfx of a moment that is very dear to them posted by you and they smile and even if for a second but forget about what made them sad.

It’s okay to feel sad, it’s okay to yearn for an audience and it’s just so normal to yearn to be appreciated cause in the end you still put those hours into your own creations.

And I hope that even if at the moment you want to take a step back, want to take a break to try and find that lost motivation - never ever stop being the creative and beautiful people that you are💜 And I hope the spark one way or another but will find its way back to you💜

Thank your making MY and others day BETTER by being the amazing creators that you are💜

No joke I honestly think Mei Chang is one of the best characters in fma like this girl at the age of 11 with nothing but a small panda and the clothes on her back crossed a deadly desert that's stated alot of grown adults find difficult to cross, found a serial killer and his weird weasly little sidekick and went yep these are the guys I want to travel with from now on I will also defend this serial killer like im his professional bodyguard despite me being a tenth of his size, finds a sentient suit of armour and proceeds to fall deeply in love with him and later when he asks her to help sacrifice him to get his brothers arm back she does not hesitate and all that's on top of her being an outstanding fighter, alkahester and a princess

☆2024 has been so difficult for me, and i want to end the year off on a high note by thanking everyone who’s been there for me through it.

☆thank you for talking to me. thank you for listening to me talk to you in return. thank you for staying on vc with me to play games or talk or draw or cry together. thank you for keeping my secrets. thank you for telling me yours. thank you for the gifts you’ve given me. thank you for the advice you’ve offered when i needed help. thank you for the silly messages you've sent me unprompted—it is so joyous to be remembered when i’m not around. thank you for making me feel safe. thank you for letting me stay by your side. thank you for staying by mine.

☆the passage of time is so scary to me, i think. once things are over you can never get them back—all you can do is move forward and hold the memories close to your heart. thank you for the memories you’ve given me, i will treasure them eternally. i am so happy that we get to keep moving forward together, from one year into the next.

☆to kia, diggs, casey, and everyone in sweaties gang; to wewa and rei; to lorel; to eliza and mitsu; to wiz and corbell; to alex, nash, geddon, and paperd; to worm and goldie; to candy and ashe; to haze, mono, benji, and chasm; to my partners (sasha, robin, and keith); to steel; to michael, and to collie;

Writing representation: Help wanted!

OH actually that recent reblog reminds me: I'm presently working on a story where one of the main protags loses an arm early in the story, and I was wondering if I have any followers with a missing limb who might be willing to read it when I have enough written for a Beta reading? also if anyone has any advice on that sort of representation hmu, as I don't want to fuck it up!!! their circumstances are fairly unique, but regardless of that the more I know the better I'll be able to write them well, please reply to my inbox or in the comments here so I can get in touch with you (anon won't help lmao)
