"Hey guys I got whooping cough."

"OH! OHOHOH! BEGONE SICKLY ONE! QUARENTINE RIGHT F*CKING NOW I CAN'T BE GETTING THAT."

"Woah calm down--"

"Do not tell me to calm down! Do you have any idea how contagious this shit is?!?!"

"Well, I heard but I'm wearing a mask and I'm literally on the other side of the glass wall, talking to you on the phone right now!"

"Like I give a rat's ass! I work at the child centre!! I. CAN'T. GET. WHOOPING. COUGH. BEGONE. NOW."

"Okay okay okay! I get it, going now! only like 8 of the kids could get it anyways...not even the same species."

"Love you!! I'll make you some cabbage soup!" with that she goes back to her lunch. Oblivious to the strange looks from her co-workers.

"Uh, what's whooping cough?" asked Op reaching for the salt with her tail.

"A very contagious human disease that gives you a nasty cough for several days to a few weeks."

"Oh, that doesn't sound too bad."

"Yeah but it can make you feel just awful and is actually very dangerous for infants, young children, and the elderly."

"How dangerous?" Fenrir asked

"Well...they could die."

*silence*

"Its not often though, usually rare, they're just more at risk. I mean I had it when I was a baby and look! I'm perfectly fine."

For a while no one said anything. Just eating. Until Fenrir asked another question.

"Why is it called whooping cough?"

"Because that's what it sounds like. The inhale sounds like a whooping noise. But according to my parents I sounded more like a barking seal."

"What does a seal sound like?"

"Hold on." she fishes out her phone and finds a video of a seal barking.

*Seal noises*

"...and what does whooping cough sound like?"

*Whooping coughing noises, which honestly sounds like someone coughing up their heart and soul*

"...how the f*ck are you alive???"

"I second that."

"My Dad tucked me into his coat and walked out in the winter air so that it would clear my lungs."

"That's it?!"

"Cold air is what saved you from death?!"

"...I mean I probably had some antibiotics but yeah. There's no real cure, just a vaccine."

"THERE'S NO CURE FOR THAT?!"

I'm sick, and hormonal, and scared, and I feel like I'm being told I'm an idiot for wanting to take every precaution to limit a literal newborn's exposure to serious illness... like I'm just being neurotic about a cold and not diseases that have literally killed people 🙃 like it isn't established fact that new babies are at a known disadvantage with an underdeveloped immune system and that the antibodies they get through pregnancy and breastfeeding HELP but aren't enough to throw caution to the wind and just LET them be exposed to shit...?? idk I feel like I'm being treated like I'm crazy and stupid and expecting too much for the people around me to just be a little bit careful 🙃

SICK MOTHER AND INFANT TRAPPED IN GAZA

Suad Ahmad is an engineer from north Gaza. You can read all about Suad’s chaotic and terrifying situation in our tag “Suad Ahmad”.

Recently, Suad, her infant son Khaled, and their family fell under an evacuation order by the occupation, meaning their location would be invaded and further bombed at any time. They were forced to flee on foot, and were completely without a tent, forced to live in the streets and on the beach. The intense heat and sun continued to worsen Khaled’s ongoing chest infection, and insect attacks caused him to have an allergic reaction.

They managed to find a room in the home of an extended family member, which provided Khaled protection from heat and insects. However, the occupation then issued another evacuation order. Suad and her family fled the home within minutes of it being bombed by the occupation. The following photos were taken within 30 minutes of each other: the left being a photo taken on Khaled smiling in a bassinet, and the right being a photo taken of the same spot just a few minutes later.

Currently, they are temporarily staying with another family. They hope to return to the home where they were and repair what remains of the room in which they were staying. However, this will not happen for some time.

Yesterday, Khaled began having coughing fits due to the constant presence of dust in the air. The dust is a result of the incessant bombings by the occupation, causing a cloud of debris, dirt, and toxic substances like asbestos to hang in the air. This has greatly aggravated his chest infection, and his fever has spiked once again. The debris dust has also caused Suad herself to suffer a negative reaction, including painful blotches on her skin.

Suad and Khaled are in desperate need of funds to survive. They require funds to procure medication, pay for what room and board they can find, receive food and water and formula for Khaled, and negotiate transportation for when they will need to evacuate again. In addition, they are raising funds to pay for documents that will allow them to evacuate Gaza through Rafah crossing. The crossing is believed by some to be opening soon, and we want Suad, Khaled, and their family to be able to evacuate as soon as possible.

Please support Suad and Khaled so that they can survive and find a better life.

Baby Excitement

The opposite of baby panic

The days following Bob's birth were a flurry of excitement and upset sleep schedules, and Robert had a two of his friends come over during it, and literally all he would talk about was anything to do about his new son.

Thankfully, they were pretty understanding. After all, it's an entirely new Sim that didn't exist a few days ago. That's pretty crazy.

A whole new experience began once Bob aged up into an infant. Now, he can be held, he can crawl, he can go behind the confines of the bassinet in Mags and Robert's bedroom. How thrilling!

Now, they can began to learn what kind of Sim Bob will grow up to be. There was a bit of a rocky start on Robert's end, as he's still learning how to interact with a Sim that can't talk.

Mags had a modicum more success, by pairing a chat with some food (and hoping Bob doesn't spit it all up afterward).

Between caring for Bob, and their overlapping work schedules, Mags and Robert were having a hard time finding time for themselves. Just a night for themselves, that wouldn't be interrupted by Bob being his infant self. A few weeks after Bob's birthday, once the two of them had established a routine for all of them, Mags had managed to find a babysitter, and they were able to go on a dinner date to a new fancy restaurant. Mags was particularly excited for it, since they claimed to specialize in "experimental foods".

On the other side of Brindleton Bay, the Simovitch family was also rearranging themselves around their new baby, Betty. The atmosphere was very cozy, warm, and romantic (according to Fatima, anyway).

Meanwhile, Betty was left entirely by herself in her room, but luckily she didn't do what most infants do (fall backwards and crack their heads on the floor). Fatima is steadily warming up to being a mother, including the less savory aspects (post-bottle burps).

Vadim and Fatima tend to Betty interchangeably, mostly depending on who went to sleep first. This night, Vadim was the one who had to get up and feed Betty (in the dark of the living room for some reason, even though there was a perfectly good chair in Betty's room).

I realized that I have my Sims basically celebrate Christmas with every Winterfest, and since I was repeating Winterfest due to my finaggling, I decided to not do the same exact thing that I have done previously, and have Winterfest be Hannukah for the Simovitch family.

Vadim ended up being pranked by his own prank gift, which he didn't find that funny, but Fatima got a nice gift (I don't remember what it was though). Betty didn't get any gifts, I guess because she is an infant, but like, infants get all kinds of gifts in real life. Idk, next year she'll be able to get something good.

The year did not end well for the Simovitchs, as there was (once again) a fire. Vadim started it by making some breakfast while Fatima and Betty were still sleeping, and his kindness was rewarded with flames.

Fortunately, Vadim was able to extinguish it with his freeze ray, and he also conquered his fear of fire, but then Fatima got a fear of fire from this fire, so the cycle continues. Betty had the most fun of all, by being outside for the first time.

Me: *feeling drowsy and cozy abt 130 or so idefk*

My Lungs: so, check it out. we took a single drag of the outside air which contains particulates of smoke, not even enough to smell it or make the air look bad. and we decided we hate that, 6 hrs after the fact. so how about you take a drag off that inhaler.

Me: but that's...if I use my emergency inhaler, I'll be wired and trembling for hours...

My Lungs: no yeah we know, but that single breath six hours ago was gross and we're lodging a complaint right now.

Me, Now: *quivering bc that inhaler tho*
