Should you consider switching from brand-name to generics?

Choosing generic medicines can save you money while ensuring you receive safe and effective treatment. Generic drugs are identical to brand-name drugs in dosage, safety, and strength, meeting the same rigorous FDA standards. They are often much cheaper because they don't carry the high development costs of brand-name drugs. At DiRx, we help you find affordable generic options, ensuring you get the best value for your healthcare needs.

I download AO3 fics occasionally, mainly DRRR ones. But since Apple Book default covers are downright hideous, I took matters into my own hands.

Truthfully it isn’t any better than the default, but it is an excuse to draw Izaya.

I have to imagine that Remy gets in trouble with the law a lot the turn of the century AU because he’s a big fan of picking Rogue flowers from rich peoples gardens

Rogue: please gambit tell me you did not rob one of the most influential and wealthy old money families of new york.

Gambit: why does it matta? Is just flowers. Even dere gardener ain’t gonna even notice. Sides’, Gambits robbed dem and da Vanderbilts plenty o times in da past fo jobs wit da thieves guild, Gambit practically know dere home layout betta den dem. an Gambit was neva caught or even seen.

Rogue: GAMBIT THAT IS NOT AS ASSURING AS YA THINK IT IS OH MY GOD. YA CANT DO THAT.

Gambit: it aint like dey dont deserve it. you know what dat french philosopher man Rousseau says Rogue, "Quand les pauvres n'auront plus rien à manger, ils mangeront les riches!” I think dat apply well here.

Rogue: ….Ah am regretting lending you that book on the french revolution

american copyright law is wild. I'm not a huge fan of the copyright act and think the anti-circumvention rules in particular are draconian & nonsensical but canada does iirc explicitly allow for non commercial user generated content and also fair dealing is not a mere defence so like. despite the horrors we persist i guess.

[et-excrucior]

So I’m going to highlight something I’m not sure people who like skeletons and curiosities think about often:

the human skeletal remains you see for sale in oddities shops were invariably grave-robbed.

I worked with human remains in an academic research context in the US for more than a decade. One of the first things I tried to teach my students was respect for the remains in our collections, not only because they were people, deserving of dignity in their death, but also because most of the skeletal remains in academic teaching collections were not donated voluntarily. In most cases, we have no idea exactly where they came from or to whom they belonged.

Historically, there has been a huge international trade in human skeletal remains for teaching medical students. The trade reached its peak in the 19th Century and continued for much of the 20th, and while ostensibly the practice was banned in India in 1985, it does still exist illegally. In the US and Europe, most of the remains in teaching collections were sourced from India through bone traders. Bone traders were (are) lower caste people charged with disposing of human remains—often by cremation, but also by interring in graves—but instead of doing so, sold the remains on to medical schools in the US/Europe through the intermediary of anatomical and medical supply companies. These anatomical specimens are the remains of people who were, unknowingly and without consent of their loved ones, denied their humanity in death to satisfy the appetite of the West for anatomical specimens, despite the remains of their own people being considered largely sacrosanct.

Which leads me to my next point: this practice originated under British Colonialism in India. I hope I don’t need to draw this point out, but objectification of these remains by medical students and researchers is a furtherance of the Western colonial project and othering of people of colour. As medical students, we’re trained to divorce ourselves emotionally from the remains we learn from in the name of professionalism. Medicine can often be confronting, and it serves patients and doctors alike to be able to continue working calmly and objectively in the face of those challenges. But in a world where empires and scientific disciplines have been (and continue to be) built on a legacy of scientific racism and dehumanisation, it behooves us to consider exactly how those teaching specimens were acquired—and how they came to be for sale.

Any human skeleton or human bones you see for sale in oddity stores are invariably retired teaching specimens, or were otherwise originally purchased through an anatomical specimen supply company that leveraged bone traders for acquiring their wares. In other words, those remains were grave-robbed, or stolen from funeral pyres and morgues. It is vanishingly unlikely that they are remains of known, ethically-sourced provenance like informed donation. If they were, they would not have been relinquished to the general public to be sold for profit. There would be contractual obligations that dictate how those remains would be managed once they need to be retired from teaching/decommissioned.

Please keep this in mind when you see human remains for sale in oddity shops. Buy plastic or ceramic teaching models instead. Don’t unwittingly continue creating a market for stolen human remains.

I've now spent multiple figures in healthcare for my cat that I adopted last year in just two months, and as I went over this amount of money earlier I had a feeling of... horrified, disconnected wonder of the adulthood I find myself in, if you will, like. you're telling me I've spent that amount of money? you're telling me I've made enough money to be able to spend it like that and not go immediately broke? you're telling me that amount of money is mine to spend?

anyway. I cannot stress enough the importance of considering before you adopt any pet that it could have special needs or health issues that will be expensive to treat and you'll have to be able to afford, and not go back on your decision to look after that creature like an asshole.

DIY [dirt cheap & probably works better than a] Starbucks Medicine Ball:

Functional teas that I had on hand were:

Celestial Tea Well Organic Ginger Mint

Bigelow Benefits Lemon & Echinacea

Honey, the real good stuff (this is from my cousin's farm)

Lemon Juice 🍋

Sugar Free Peppermint Syrup

Bonus Add on: Young Living Peppermint

Although the OG diy recipe uses the Teavana brand and a metric shitton of sugar, I am not that boujee and trying to avoid extra sugar... Honey has enough sweetness, but honey also has its own special properties. Use the google, I ain't your momma.

This tea is what I had on hand, and likely bought on sale or clearance. Also...there are a ton of different teas that are specifically blending to aid immunity or cold season. Try varieties by Yogi or Traditional Medicinals if you can find them. Experiment & find what works best for you.

I also don't have the space for a bag of fresh lemons. It is really all about balancing what you have with the effect you want.

I have found that in most of my experiments, I will feel better with any combination of mint, lemon and honey. But if I have to work, a tea that has some caffeine will help me perk up.

And yes, I have to work. I work FT and caregiver FT, I am out of PTO. My FMLA is only if my patient is sick, it doesn't cover my illnesses. But I work from home so... it could be worse. At least I am not infecting people.

Cam and Piper grab some snacks and coffee from the nearby cart, and then head to the English-Science building* to attend a guest lecture on sensors (I'm guessing it was a tech type one 🤔). Cam's more interested in this type of lecture but Piper ends up finding it fascinating too and gets a good moodlet from it. The two of them also run into Piper’s cousin Safiya, and chat with her for a bit before heading back home. They both have exams the next day and think it's a good idea to get a full night's sleep before that.

I haven’t been able to eat bc my wisdom teeth are making my mouth work like a hinge, so only my molars are making any sort of contact. Cannot chew really, I’m swallowing things whole on accident, nearly choking. Back when I was a teen, my old ortho said my wisdoms were “coming in straight” and I “didn’t have to remove them”-

My new ortho was like “get them out so you can eat, they’re just gonna screw everything up” and I’m seeing “Get all your wisdoms out for $999!!!”. I’m about to go to Nogales bc NAH. NAH.
