[findroleplay]

🌚Hello! I am a 24 year old female in search of some new rp partners for mpreg plots! (18+ only please. No minors) I usually like longer stories with characters developing/changing/growing etc. I love to make plots with my partner, as well as share fandom memes, videos, and more. I always love getting to talk out of chat as well.

NSFW very very welcome but not entirely necessary

My preferred genres and ‘tags’ are, hurt comfort, whump, and always angst.

My triggers/ no-no’s are BDSM, incest, rape/non-con, self harm, harm toward children, infantilism, feet, or pedophilia. (this being said I do not mind rp’ing teenagers if the SO is also a teen)

I do prefer to be the carrier in mpreg storylines but if you would like to do multiple I am perfectly comfortable being the one not pregnant.

One can only dream to be as based as Chen Weihua,but must try nonetheless

The post is machine translated

Translation is at the bottom

The collective is on telegram

🇨🇳 Le parole su Twitter del Compagno Chen Weihua, Giornalista e Direttore dell'Ufficio dell'UE per China Daily, permettono di ragionare ulteriormente sul nuovo mantra anti-Cinese "L'ira di Pechino", e sull'aggettivo "aggressive", utilizzato dai giornali USA in funzione anti-Cinese per qualsiasi risposta legittima della Cina di fronte all'avventurismo delle tigri di carta americane 🤔

🇺🇸 Gli USA inviano Gruppi d'Attacco di Portaerei nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, spiano la Cina con aerei da ricognizione che si avvicinano pericolosamente, ad esempio, a Shantou? Se la Cina risponde, è lei quella aggressiva, irosa ed irresponsabile. Questa è la logica Occidentale! 🤦‍♀️

一 24/02: il Comando Orientale dell'EPL intercetta un P-8A nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, e invia un Caccia di Superiorità Aerea J-11, armato con Missili Aria-Aria, per scortare l'Aereo USA al di fuori della Zona Cinese 🔥

🇺🇸 Aereo USA nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, la Cina risponde, ed è la Cina ad essere aggressiva per le tigri di carta, come si può leggere qui, su CNN: "US says Chinese jet conducted ‘unnecessarily aggressive maneuver’ intercepting US spy plane over South China Sea" 🤡

四 26/05: Il Comando dell'EPL intercetta un RC-135V nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, pericolosamente vicino alla Città di Shantou, e invia un Caccia Multiruolo J-16 per scortarlo fuori dalla Zona Cinese 🔥

🤔 Di nuovo la stessa retorica, questa volta su ABC News: "Chinese jet carries out 'aggressive' maneuver in front of US military plane, officials say" 🇺🇸

L'Occidente collettivo, dagli USA ai Paesi UE, tra tutti la Francia, ruba le risorse ai Paesi Africani, assassinando i leader patriottici e fomentando guerre? Ecco che arriva la narrazione fasulla sul "Colonialismo Cinese" sulla "trappola del debito" smentita da tutti i leader Africani 🌍

🔺Presidente Eritreo: "Le menzogne delle «forze egemoniche» sulla «trappola del debito» sono un tentativo deliberato di diffamare le relazioni tra Cina e Africa" 💕

🔺La dimostrazione dell'ipocrisia, del paternalismo e del moralismo occidentale anti-Cinese sul Tema dell'Africa 😡

🔺La Cina condona 23 Prestiti senza Interessi a 17 Paesi Africani ❤️

🔺Le menzogne occidentali sulla falsa «Trappola del Debito» 😡

🇨🇳 Tuttavia, non è la Cina il Paese rabbioso, aggressivo e irresponsabile. Non è la Cina ad aver sparato un AIM-9X contro un Pallone Meteorologico, definito dalle tigri di carta un "pallone spia", salvo poi dover ammettere che non era un "UFO" [🤦‍♀️] e non era neanche un "pallone spia" 😂

🇨🇳 La Repubblica Popolare Cinese è un Paese responsabile. Non getta benzina sul fuoco dei conflitti, non genera tensioni e preferisce il Dialogo rispetto alle sanzioni unilaterali lanciate dagli USA, soprattutto contro la Cina 🤧

🇨🇳 Non è la Cina ad aver dato il via ad una Guerra Commerciale (Trump) e Tecnologica (Biden). Non è la Cina che definisce ogni giorno le aziende di altri Paesi come "pericolose per la Sicurezza Nazionale", diffondendo un pessimo clima per la conduzione degli affari 🤧

🌸 Iscriviti 👉 @collettivoshaoshan

🇨🇳 The words on Twitter of Comrade Chen Weihua, Journalist and Director of the EU Office for China Daily, allow us to further reason on the new anti-Chinese mantra "The wrath of Beijing", and on the adjective "aggressive", used by US newspapers in an anti-Chinese function for any legitimate response from China to the adventurism of American paper tigers 🤔

🇺🇸 Does the US send Carrier Strike Groups to the South China Sea, spy on China with reconnaissance aircraft that come dangerously close to, for example, Shantou? If China responds, it is the aggressive, angry and irresponsible one. This is Western logic! 🤦

一 24/02: PLA Eastern Command intercepts a P-8A in the South China Sea and sends a J-11 Air Superiority Fighter, armed with Air-to-Air Missiles, to escort US aircraft out of the Zone Chinese 🔥

🇺🇸 US Planes In South China Sea, China Responds, And It's China Aggressive For Paper Tigers, as you can read here, on CNN: "US says Chinese jet conducted 'unnecessarily aggressive maneuver' intercepting US spy plane over South China Sea" 🤡

四 26/05: The PLA Command intercepts an RC-135V in the South China Sea, perilously close to Shantou City, and sends a J-16 Multirole Fighter to escort it out of the Chinese Zone 🔥

🤔 Same rhetoric again, this time on ABC News: "Chinese jet carries out 'aggressive' maneuver in front of US military plane, officials say" 🇺🇸

the collective West, from the USA to EU countries, among all France, steal resources from African countries, assassinate patriotic leaders and foment wars. And then comes with the bogus narrative about "Chinese colonialism" about the "debt trap" debunked by all African leaders 🌍

🔺Eritrean President: "The lies of «hegemonic forces» about the «debt trap» are a deliberate attempt to defame relations between China and Africa" ​​💕

🔺The Demonstration of Western Anti-Chinese Hypocrisy, Paternalism and Moralism on the Theme of Africa 😡

🔺China condones 23 Interest Free Loans to 17 African Countries ❤️

🔺Western lies about the fake «Debt Trap» 😡

🇨🇳 However, China is not the angry, aggressive and irresponsible country. It is not China that fired an AIM-9X at a Weather Balloon, defined by the paper tigers as a "spy balloon", only to then have to admit that it was not a "UFO" and it was not even a "balloon spy" 😂

🇨🇳 The People's Republic of China is a responsible country. It doesn't add fuel to the fire of conflicts, it doesn't generate tensions and it prefers Dialogue over the unilateral sanctions launched by the USA, especially against China 🤧

🇨🇳 It's not China that started a Trade (Trump) and Technology (Biden) War. Isn't it China that defines companies of other countries as "dangerous to National Security" every day, spreading a bad climate for conducting business 🤧

Arachne Blight-Daughter of Chaos - CR20 Aberration

A powerful drider boss with disease powers, based on the Daughter of Chaos from Dark Souls.

Artwork by Orphasm on Tumblr.

The Daughter of Chaos, also called the Fair Lady in the in-game dialogue, is, despite appearances, a friendly character in Dark Souls 1.  Due to the blight she’s contracted, she’s in a weakened state, and if attacked, simply dies in one hit without fighting back.  This Pathfinder creature is meant to function as an actual boss fight, though, and is only loosely inspired by the Dark Souls creature.

Unlike typical driders which all have the upper body of drow, the Arachne Blight-Daughter of Chaos is a fair-skinned surface elf - thus the term “drider” isn’t actually accurate for her.  Her mother, consorting with the demon lord Flauros in an attempt to forcibly bring light to the Darklands - one of the same demon lords that the drow worship as deities - was overwhelmed by the demonic powers she touched.  She was destroyed, and in the process, cursed her daughters with the same kind of arachnid transformation that affects driders.  The Arachne Blight-Daughter of Chaos spreads her parasitic eggs into the underdark, infecting its inhabitants so that their bodies are consumed by her brood.  Drow and other driders consider her and her followers to be enemy invaders.

The Burdened Egg Carrier that I released stats for some time back was designed to be either a servant or victim of the Arachne Blight-Daughter of Chaos.  It’s a very low level creature, but that just means you can fill her lair with literally dozens of them, and have them all aid each other as they attack.  You could apply the template to something stronger, however, if you actually want to use a Burdened Egg Carrier as an enemy in the same adventure as the players fight this boss.

The defiant glaive lets her use Heroic Defiance and Heroic Recovery 5 times per day instead of just once.  If she casts gloomblind bolts, she typically casts quickened fractions of heal and harm first.

Arachne Blight-Daughter of Chaos - CR 20

Embedded into the back of this massive sickly spider is the upper body of a pale-skinned woman with bleached-white hair and distinctly elven features. The spider-like abdomen is covered in open red sores, and draped with long strands of webbing that hangs from the enormous spider legs like cobwebs.  All together, this aberration stands perhaps fourteen feet tall and twenty feet wide, and could easily stretch out to twice those dimensions if needed.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Divine Chaos Protection (Su) Once per hour, when a creature within 60 ft. of the arachne blight-daughter of chaos makes any d20 roll, after the results of the roll are revealed, she can force the d20 to be rerolled with either a +1d20 or -1d20 bonus (her choice).  After she does so, she loses her spell resistance for the next hour.

Blighted Blisters (Ex) An arachne blight-daughter of chaos is covered in blighted blisters.  Each time she is dealt more than 5 points of bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a single attack, one of these blisters bursts, releasing a cloud of harmful blight in a burst that affects creatures within 5 feet of her.  This blight enters the lungs of all living creatures within the cloud that need to breathe unless they succeed on a DC 32 Fortitude save, and deals 1d6+8 points of damage immediately, plus an additional 1d6+8 points of damage every round until the disease is healed.  This is a disease effect.  A creature that is already suffering from the disease but fails the saving throw simply takes the damage again immediately.

If the arachne blight-daughter of chaos is killed, her blisters burst all at once in a larger radius, affecting all living creatures within 50 feet of her that need to breathe unless they succeed on a DC 37 Fortitude save.  The save DC is Constitution-based, and the DC of the effect triggering on her death includes a +5 circumstance bonus.

Implant Eggs (Ex) A living creature hit by an arachne blight-daughter of chaos’s bite or weapon attack must succeed on a DC 32 Fortitude save against a disease effect or take 1d6 Con and Cha drain.  If a target takes a total of 9 Con and Cha drain from multiple applications of this effect, the target immediately gains the burdened egg carrier template.  The save DC is Constitution-based.

Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 32; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Str and Dex, and fatigued; cure 2 saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Profanity of the Blight (Su) An arachne blight-daughter of chaos gains a profane bonus to her AC and all of her damage rolls equal to her Wisdom bonus.  This is already calculated into her statistics and abilities.

Sickening Waves (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, as a free action, an arachne blight-daughter of chaos can release waves of sickening energy in a 60-foot cone.  Creatures in this cone must succeed on a DC 32 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1 day.  A creature that is already sickened and fails its saving throw doubles the penalty from being sickened for 1 round, in addition to having the duration refreshed.  The save DC is Constitution-based.

The True Blight (Su) As a move action, an arachne blight-daughter of chaos can attempt to permanently remove a target’s resistance and immunity to disease.   Unless the target succeeds on a DC 33 Will save, it loses immunity to disease, and loses any bonus to saving throws it has specifically against disease effects, regardless of whether that immunity or bonus is supernatural, extraordinary, a result of its creature type, or gained in a different way.  This is a transmutation effect.  The save DC is Charisma-based.

Undersized Weapons (Ex) Although an arachne blight-daughter of chaos is Gargantuan, her upper torso is the same size as that of a Medium humanoid’s upper torso.  As a result, she wields weapons as if she were three size categories smaller than her actual size (typically Medium).

Gli altri sport: Didier Pironi

 Il pilota che pur di continuare a correre trovò una seconda strada nel mondo della motonautica… Didier Joseph-Louis Pironi nacque  il 26 marzo 1952 a Villecresnes, cominciò a studiare come ingegnere, ma poi dopo si iscrisse alla scuola di guida al Paul Ricard ricevendo la borsa di studio di sponsorizzazione della compagnia petrolifera francese Elf nel 1972. Il giovane pilota partecipò alla Formula Renault francese nel 1973 e l’anno successivo con il team Elf Martini conquistò il titolo con sette vittorie e fu  sempre con il team Elf Martini nel 1975 nella Formula Renault Europea ottenendo tre vittorie a Monaco, Paul Ricard e Hockenheim e l’anno successivo conquistò il titolo con dodici vittorie. Passato nella Formula 2 con lo stesso team, Pironi ebbe una sola vittoria a Estoril e il terzo posto finale e nello stesso anno corse la gara di Formula 3 a Monaco vincendola. L’anno successivo con la Renault-Alpine Didier vinse la 24 ore di Le Mans in coppia con Jean-Pierre Jaussaud e debuttò in Formula 1 con la Tyrell, riuscendo a conquistare punti in cinque gare del campionato e concludendo la stagione al quindicesimo posto con sette punti. La seconda stagione con la nuova vettura della Tyrell 009 per il pilore fu migliore rispetto a quella della passata stagione, con due terzi posti in Belgio e negli Stati Uniti e punti iridati in Brasile, Spagna e Canada, terminandola undicesimo con quattordici punti. Nel 1980 Pironì passò alla Ligier e conquistò la prima vittoria nel Gran Premio del Belgio, conquistando diversi podi e punti iridati, finendo il campionato quinto con trentedue punti. L’anno successivo passò alla scuderia Ferrari dove si trovò come compagno di scuderia Gilles Villeneuve, che divenne sua grande amico, ma la Ferrari 126CK non era competitiva e Pironi riuscì  ad avere punti solo a San Marino, Montecarlo, Francia e Italia concludendo la stagione tredicesimo con nove punti. La stagione 1982 della Ferrari, con la più competitiva 126C2, vide il pilota,  dopo il diciottesimo posto nel Gran Premio del Sud Africa, i punti conquistati in Brasile con il sesto posto e il ritiro nel Gran premio degli Stati Uniti Ovest, ottenere la seconda vittoria della sua carriere nel Gran Premio d’Imola. Quest’episodio rese difficili  i rapporti tra lui e Villeneuve, poichè il francese aveva superato il canadese nelle ultime fasi della gara, quando c’erano ordini precisi di scuderia di tenere la posizione conquistata. L’8 maggio 1982 nelle prove a Zolder del Gran Premio del Belgio Villeneuve, pur di migliorare il suo tempo, ritorna in pista,  tampona la vettura di Jochen Mass,  sbalzato fuori dalla vettura  muore in ospedale, la Ferrari per rispetto non partecipò alla gara. Dopo due podi conquistati a Montecarlo e Usa e il nono posto in Canada, Didier ebbe la sua terza ed ultima vittoria in Olanda e ottenne altri due podi nei due successivi Gran Premi. Sabato 7 agosto 1982, durante le prove del sabato mattina del Gran Premio di Germania sulla pista bagnata Pironi,  che stava tornando ai box dopo aver ottenuto la pole position, tamponò la Renault di Prost  decollando, quando atterrò la Ferrari si spezza in due insieme alle gambe del pilota, mettendo fine alla sua carriera in Formula 1. Fu superato nella classifica finale da Keke Rosberg che conquistò la sua unica vittoria nel Gran Premio di Svizzera. Dopo varie operazioni Pironì tentò di nuovo di rientrare in Formula 1, non riuscendo,  prima con la scuderia AGS e poi con una Ligier. Alla fine il pilota si concentrò sulla motonautica, con uno scafo da lui ideato detto Colibrì,  che lo portò a vincere diverse gare, ma il 23 agosto 1987 non potè sfuggire ancora una volta al suo destino, morì, insieme a Bernard Giroux e Jean-Claude Guenard,  nel Needles Trophy Race al largo delle coste dell'isola di Wight.

How Does the Climate in Nairobi Influence the Prevalence of Cockroach Infestations?

Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital, is not just known for its vibrant urban life and rich cultural diversity, but also for an often-overlooked challenge that plagues many of its residents: cockroach infestations. The city's unique climatic conditions create a perfect storm of environmental factors that make it an ideal breeding ground for these resilient insects.

Pest Control Services in Nairobi

Understanding Nairobi's Climate: A Breeding Ground for Pests

Nairobi's geographical location, situated at an elevation of approximately 1,795 meters above sea level, contributes to a subtropical highland climate characterized by moderate temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons. This climate plays a crucial role in the proliferation of cockroach populations throughout the city.

Temperature and Humidity: The Perfect Combination

The average annual temperature in Nairobi ranges between 16°C and 24°C (60°F to 75°F), with relatively high humidity levels. These conditions are exceptionally favorable for cockroaches, particularly species like the German cockroach (Blattella germanica) and the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). These temperatures provide:

Optimal metabolic conditions for rapid reproduction

Comfortable environments for survival and growth

Minimal temperature stress that might otherwise limit insect populations

The consistent warmth, combined with periodic rainfall, creates moisture-rich environments that cockroaches find irresistible. Humid conditions help these insects maintain their body moisture and support their rapid reproduction cycles.

Seasonal Dynamics of Cockroach Populations

Nairobi experiences two distinct rainy seasons: the long rains from March to May and the short rains from October to December. These seasonal variations significantly impact cockroach populations:

Wet Seasons: Peak Infestation Periods

During the rainy seasons, cockroach populations experience exponential growth due to:

Increased moisture providing ideal breeding conditions

More abundant food sources from vegetation growth

Enhanced survival rates for eggs and nymphs

Increased indoor migrations as insects seek shelter from heavy rainfall

Pest Control Services in Nairobi

Dry Seasons: Adaptive Survival Strategies

Even during dry seasons, cockroaches in Nairobi demonstrate remarkable adaptability:

They concentrate around available water sources

Seek refuge in urban infrastructures like sewers, drainage systems, and building foundations

Demonstrate heightened resourcefulness in finding moisture and shelter

Urban Infrastructure and Cockroach Proliferation

Nairobi's urban landscape inadvertently supports cockroach populations. The city's dense housing, complex drainage systems, and waste management challenges create multiple microenvironments perfect for cockroach survival.

Key Contributing Factors Include:

Aging infrastructure with numerous cracks and crevices

Inadequate waste management systems

Close proximity of residential and commercial buildings

Limited pest control interventions in some neighborhoods

Health and Environmental Implications

Beyond being a nuisance, cockroach infestations in Nairobi pose significant health risks. These insects are known carriers of various pathogens, including:

Salmonella

E. coli

Various fungi and parasites

Allergens that can trigger respiratory issues

The climate-driven proliferation of cockroaches thus becomes not just an pest control issue, but a public health concern.

Mitigation and Control Strategies

Effectively managing cockroach populations in Nairobi requires a comprehensive approach that considers the city's unique climatic conditions:

Moisture Control: Implement strategies to reduce humidity and eliminate standing water

Proper Waste Management: Develop robust waste disposal and management systems

Building Design: Encourage construction techniques that minimize pest entry points

Regular Pest Control: Implement consistent, professional pest management strategies

Community Education: Raise awareness about prevention and early intervention

Pest Control Services in Nairobi

Conclusion

Nairobi's subtropical highland climate creates an environment where cockroaches don't just survive—they thrive. Understanding the intricate relationship between local climate conditions and pest populations is crucial for developing effective, sustainable pest management strategies. By recognizing how temperature, humidity, seasonal variations, and urban infrastructure interact to support cockroach populations, residents and city planners can take more targeted approaches to control these persistent insects.

La reazione dei Cinquestelle, con una dichiarazione congiunta dei deputati e senatori delle Commissioni Giustizia , non si è fatta attendere: “Era tutto già scritto ed è un piano devastante ben congegnato. La separazione delle carriere […] risponde al disegno di vecchia data del centrodestra di indebolire la magistratura e togliere autonomia e indipendenza ai pubblici ministeri. […] Il governo Meloni getta così la maschera e srotola il suo piano completo per mettere la giustizia sotto il tallone della politica”.

La pensava diversamente, già molto tempo fa, un pubblico ministero che conosceva il suo mestiere:

“Un sistema accusatorio parte dal presupposto di un pubblico ministero che raccoglie e coordina gli elementi della prova da raggiungersi nel corso del dibattimento, dove egli rappresenta una parte in causa. Gli occorrono, quindi, esperienze, competenze, capacità, preparazione anche tecnica per perseguire l’obbiettivo. E nel dibattimento non deve avere nessun tipo di parentela col giudice e non essere, come invece oggi è, una specie di para-giudice. Il giudice, in questo quadro, si staglia come figura neutrale, non coinvolta, al di sopra delle parti. Contraddice tutto ciò il fatto che, avendo formazione e carriere unificate, con destinazioni e ruoli intercambiabili, giudici e pm siano, in realtà, indistinguibili gli uni dagli altri. Chi, come me, richiede che siano, invece, due figure strutturalmente differenziate nelle competenze e nella carriera, viene bollato come nemico dell’indipendenza del magistrato, un nostalgico della discrezionalità dell’azione penale, desideroso di porre il pm sotto il controllo dell’Esecutivo. È veramente singolare che si voglia confondere la differenziazione dei ruoli e la specializzazione del pm con questioni istituzionali totalmente distinte. Gli esiti dei processi, a cominciare da quelli di mafia, celebrati col nuovo rito, senza una riforma dell’ordinamento, sono peraltro sotto gli occhi di tutti”. (Giovanni Falcone, intervista a Mario Pirani, Repubblica, 3 ottobre 1991).

Poscritto: “Nemo propheta acceptus est in patria sua” (Luca 4, 24).

CarrierCon 2024 Cosplay Contest (Sat 3/09)

[jodilinbio]

My nine-year-old niece, Lisa, took my departure from New England hard. We had grown so close.

I never saw Barbara again. She was never around the few times I went back to the apartment with Dad or Tammy to grab something. A part of me wanted to confront her now that I could breathe easier, but another part of me didn’t care. I was leaving. That was all that mattered.

By my last day in New England, I was completely exhausted. Excitement had kept me up the night before, so when we visited Cousins Boo and Max in Longmeadow, I crashed on their bed for a couple of hours before it was time to head to the airport.

I jolted awake the moment I heard my father calling me from the foot of the stairs. “Time to go.”

“Oh my God!” I thought. “This is it. I’m not dreaming—I really have a date with the friendly skies to sunny Phoenix, Arizona!”

And so did Shadow, who was flying with me in a pet travel carrier.

Boo and Max gave me $100, which was generous of them. They later sent a little more once I’d arrived. I hated asking for money, but I didn’t want to bother my parents. I asked Boo and Max not to mention it to them, but I’m sure they did. Either way, I was grateful for the help.

We drove back to Connecticut, to Bradley Airport in Windsor Locks. We arrived just before my 4:30 PM flight, which would land in Phoenix at 10:30 PM Eastern Time (7:30 PM in Phoenix), with a brief layover in Cincinnati.

As Dad and I walked through the terminal, I felt lighter with every step.

“I’m free now,” I told him.

“I know,” he replied.

I was overwhelmed with emotion, shock, and excitement, crying so much that Dad had to practically hold me up as we made our way to the plane.

“You can board with her,” the stewardess said to my dad, likely assuming I was afraid of flying.

He walked me to my seat, and we said our goodbyes. It would be the second to last time I ever saw him.

It felt like an eternity before the plane began taxiing down the runway. I took one last, long look at the world I was about to leave behind.

Suddenly, the plane lurched forward.

Life would never be the same.

It was 7:30 PM when the plane touched down in Phoenix on June 9, 1992. The flight had been long and exhausting, but exciting. I was amazed by the massive mountains and countless swimming pools dotting the landscape as we approached Sky Harbor Airport—there seemed to be more pools than in all of the Northeast combined.

I had no idea how different my life was about to become and I wholeheartedly agreed with those who said I deserved my newfound happiness. After years of misfortune, it was time for some compensation. Of course, I still faced my share of problems. For the first six months in Arizona, I was so broke I feared I’d starve. My parents sent non-edible items that couldn’t be bought with food stamps, but I couldn’t get food stamps in the first place for quite a while and there were only so many times I could go to the food bank. The food stamp and SSI offices really jerked me around. They take advantage of people who move, delaying things to save themselves money.

After Andy and I retrieved Shadow and my luggage from the baggage claim, we headed to his studio apartment at the Vista Ventana complex. The hot, dry air reminded me of Texas, where I’d visited my sister one summer when I was twelve. I marveled at the palms, cacti, and modern buildings. The massive mountains in the distance were breathtaking. I knew I wouldn’t miss the Northeast with its old, dreary buildings or the cold, rainy, and snowy climate.

“Quit smoking,” my dad had told me before I boarded the plane. “That can be your IOU.”

No, I thought. You owed me. After everything I endured because of you and your wife, you owed me this much. He would still get his request one day—just not as soon as he’d hoped.

Arizona had its pros and cons. My asthma improved slightly, but my allergies became a million times worse, causing me to sneeze nonstop for up to 24 hours at a time.

I missed having patches of woods to provide privacy and block sound. Arizona was so flat and open—you could see for miles, especially outside the city. The bugs were terrifying, with huge spiders, cockroaches, and biting ants. Bees were everywhere, year-round. And the drinking water was awful—like diluted bleach.

The dividing walls in the apartments were too thin. Though better than the NHA, I could still hear footsteps, doors slamming, and other noises that annoyed me as a light sleeper. I swear the NHA scarred me for life—every door slam made my whole body tense up. And as I would later learn, most buildings in Arizona were constructed the same way.

Despite the downsides, apartments, and houses were cheaper and more plentiful back then, and they were gorgeous and modern. Dishwashers and central heating/cooling were standard. The monsoon storms were intense but amazing, with vivid lightning and thunder that could rival gunshots. The rain was much heavier than anything I’d seen back east.

The complex grounds were beautiful, unlike anything I’d seen before. The complex stretched an entire city block, with clusters of buildings surrounding two pools, soda machines, pay phones, and laundry rooms.

After four days in Andy’s second-floor studio, I moved two buildings away to a ground-floor studio of my own. It was small—just 400 square feet, like my Norwich apartment—but functional, even if I had to use upside-down boxes for furniture. On the day I moved in, about 30 boxes of my personal belongings, shipped by my dad, arrived.

I met a dozen or so neighbors, but most weren’t very friendly. Robert, who lived above me, stomped around like an elephant. Mark, who lived next door, was a typical pig, constantly making inappropriate comments until I scared him half to death with a threatening note. He even talked about getting a gun the next day—probably not the first time he’d made enemies.

Donna and Rosemarie were attractive but turned out to be major backstabbers. Prejudiced against gays, they made me wonder if there were any good-looking people who weren’t so hateful. Rosemarie, who I found particularly attractive, freaked out when she learned I liked her.

“I’m religious, so I think it’s best if we don’t associate,” she said.

“Oh, I thought religion taught people to accept others as they are,” I replied.

Andy and I were open about who we were. If someone asked if I had a boyfriend, I’d say I preferred women, and if they didn’t like it—tough! However, I was shocked at how prejudiced people in Arizona could be. They were quick to target gays, yet anyone speaking against the city’s “ethnic freeloaders” was labeled a racist.

Andy and I met several people at this apartment complex, and I wrote weekly letters to my family. Sometimes they surprised me with letters of their own.

Angel and Dennis were among the few kind neighbors. Dennis helped me move, and Angel was a frequent chat partner at the pool.

Then there was Tara, who was into drawing, and Tonya, an exotic dancer, both just 18. Tara helped me improve my drawing skills, and Tonya made me consider dancing myself. I loved to dance and was tired of being broke, so I pondered the idea for a while.

Though Arizona had its challenges, it was the beginning of an entirely new chapter—one filled with unexpected twists, adventures, and opportunities.

Fay, a heavyset woman who lived across from me, started off as friendly enough. But over time, I realized she had a big mouth, so I gradually began to ignore her. She was just too phony and two-faced for my liking.

Randy, on the other hand, was one of the nicest people I met. If I’d been attracted to him, I could have easily seen myself wanting a relationship. He was easygoing and made for pleasant company.

Kara was also one of the better ones. She was a twenty-two-year-old with a year-old daughter. They lived with Kara’s mom and eventually moved to a nearby complex not long after I arrived.

Then there was Eluisa—now, that one was a bit strange. Ellie introduced herself to me at the pool one day. She seemed perfectly sane and friendly at first. But when she started talking about little FBI agents hiding out in her heating vents, I quickly realized what I was dealing with—a few cards short of a full deck. She could be in a fine mood one minute and then fly off the handle over the smallest things.

Andy and I continued our little pranks, calling random people around the city. With Caller ID about to hit the scene, we were careful not to keep dialing the same number—it was getting too risky.

As the weather cooled, Andy and I would laugh at friends and family back east, still stuck dealing with the cold and snow, though Arizona could get pretty chilly at night during the winter too. Arizona only seemed to have two seasons: either it was hot enough to roast you, or it was borderline cold.

Back in the projects, Debbie actually did me a favor—though I didn’t realize it at the time. Andy and I had sent her a weird, wacky letter. Nothing threatening, just bizarre stuff. Well, she panicked and ran to the cops, who ended up contacting the probation officer (PO) I was supposed to report to in Phoenix.

The PO had left his calling card on my door one day while I was out, but I ignored it, determined to take charge of my own life. I wasn’t going to let the past hold me back, especially over some petty phone calls. Since I didn’t have a phone during my first four months in Arizona, he went through Stacey, the apartment manager, to reach me.

I called him from Andy’s place and gave him a piece of my mind for dragging the management company into my personal business. I felt like he had no right to involve others.

But it turned out we were done with each other before we ever even met. Because of that letter to Debbie, he informed me that he was dropping my case and that I didn’t have the “blessing” to live in Arizona.

“Well, obviously I do or I wouldn’t be here,” I told him before hanging up.

Six months passed, and then I received a large envelope from Sheila, my original PO in Massachusetts. All she wanted was for me to fill out a brief questionnaire every month for about six months, and that was it.

🇺🇸 L'avventurismo anti-Cinese degli imperialisti statunitensi nel Mar Cinese Meridionale costituisce la causa principale dei rischi per la sicurezza aerea e marittima nella zona, ha dichiarato la Compagna Mao Ning - Portavoce del Ministero degli Affari Esteri della Repubblica Popolare Cinese 🇨🇳

🤹‍♂�� L'ipocrisia delle tigri di carta statunitensi, che inviano aerei nel Mar Cinese Meridionale e, quando vengono intercettati dai caccia dell'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione si lamentano, definendo la Cina "aggressiva", non ha fine

🇺🇸 Gli USA inviano Gruppi d'Attacco di Portaerei nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, spiano la Cina con aerei da ricognizione che si avvicinano pericolosamente a Shantou? Se la Cina risponde, allora è aggressiva, irosa ed irresponsabile. Questa è la logica dei reazionari americani🤦‍♀️

🌐 Il Mondo sa bene chi è il vero Paese irresponsabile, chi getta sempre benzina sul fuoco dei conflitti e chi promuove costantemente l'avventurismo contro Paesi sovrani e indipendenti 👍

🇨🇳 Wang Wenbin: «Gli USA sono i guerrafondai n°1 al Mondo, sono il principale violatore della sovranità e la prima fonte di antagonismo e scontro tra blocchi» 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Aereo USA nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, la Cina risponde, ed è la Cina ad essere aggressiva per le tigri di carta, come si può leggere qui, su CNN: "US says Chinese jet conducted ‘unnecessarily aggressive maneuver’ intercepting US spy plane over South China Sea" 🤡

四 26/05: Il Comando dell'EPL intercetta un RC-135V nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, pericolosamente vicino alla Città di Shantou, e invia un Caccia Multiruolo J-16 per scortarlo fuori dalla Zona Cinese 🔥

🤔 Di nuovo la stessa retorica, questa volta su ABC News: "Chinese jet carries out 'aggressive' maneuver in front of US military plane, officials say" 🇺🇸

Giant Mutant Giant Giant Mole - CR15 Animal

What do you get when you take a giant giant mole, and then mutate it, and then giant-size it?

Artwork is official concept art from RuneScape, copyright Jagex.

You needed a boss for your giant giant mole dungeon, right?

Giant mutant giant giant moles, aside from being thirty feet long and twenty feet tall, also have the ability to mutate people they bite in a sort of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kind of way. This functions as lycanthropy, transforming the target into a were-dogmole. Dogmoles aren't an official Pathfinder creature, but are Large-sized moles that were published by Open Design LLC in the Midgard Bestiary for Pathfinder RPG. If you want a stat block for a merely giant mole (as opposed to a giant giant mole), that's the one to use; just replace its Wormkiller Rage with this creature's Crop-Devouring Rage (or don't; I'm not your mom).

Giant mutant giant giant moles themselves aren't lycanthropes, but are able to carry and transmit the curse.

This creature uses the "overwhelmed" condition, a condition that I use for a lot of monsters.  I’ve previously used it for the First World Responder, but in my own games I nearly always replace the stunned, paralyzed and nauseated conditions with overwhelmed when enemies inflict those conditions onto PCs.

Giant Mutant Giant Giant Mole - CR 15

Next to the other moles in this cavern, the creature in front of you looks like a giant. And those other moles would already look like giants next to giant moles. On top of that, this thing's face is bloated and deformed with some kind of strange mutation.

XP 51,200 N Colossal animal Init +9 Senses blindsight 60 ft., scent, tremorsense 120 ft.; Perception +13

DEFENSE

AC 29, touch 7, flat-footed 24 (+5 Dex, +22 natural, –8 size) hp 225 (18d8+144) Defensive Abilities fast healing 10 Fort +21; Ref +16; Will +12

OFFENSE

STATISTICS

Str 38, Dex 21, Con 26, Int 2, Wis 18, Cha 9 Base Atk +13; CMB +35; CMD 50 (54 vs. trip) Feats Cleave, Cleaving Finish, Great Cleave, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Power Attack, Weapon Focus (bite, claw) Skills Climb +25, Perception +13, Survival +14 (+22 when underground), Swim +17; Racial Modifiers +8 Survival when underground

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Burrow (Ex) Giant mutant giant giant moles cannot burrow into solid rock, but they can move through softer material like soil or loose rubble, leaving a usable tunnel 10 ft. in diameter.

Crop-Devouring Rage (Ex) Once per hour, if a giant mutant giant giant mole spends a standard action eating crops or other edible plants, it can enter a rage similar to an unchained barbarian's rage. It gains a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls and 36 temporary hit points, but suffers a -2 penalty to AC. This rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to its hit dice plus its Constitution modifier (typically 26 rounds), and the giant mutant giant giant mole is fatigued for 1 minute after the rage ends. Unlike a barbarian, a giant mutant giant giant mole cannot end its rage voluntarily.

Curse of Lycanthropy (Su) Although a giant mutant giant giant mole is not itself a lycanthrope, it is a carrier for lycanthropy, and can transmit it through its bite. A target hit by a giant mutant giant giant mole's bite attack must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy as a were-giant-mole (ignoring the typical size restriction).  This gives the target the lycanthrope template with a dogmole as its bestial form, except that the target gains the Crop-Devouring Rage ability (see above) in place of the Wormkiller Rage.

Ferocity (Ex) Giant mutant giant giant moles continue to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.

Overwhelming Disease (Su) Claw—injury; save Fort DC 27, onset 1d4+2 rounds, frequency 1 day, effect 1d3 Con damage plus overwhelmed condition, cure 2 consecutive saves. This is a disease effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

An overwhelmed creature is staggered and cannot concentrate. If an overwhelmed creature attacks or casts a spell, it falls prone and becomes helpless until the beginning of its next turn after doing so. Effects that would remove or prevent the paralyzed or nauseated conditions also remove or prevent the overwhelmed condition.

Powerful Bite (Ex) A giant mutant giant giant mole's bite attack naturally has a critical threat range of 18–20.
