[mangledscrimp]

HAPPY BUTCH DAYYYY!!! Finished her a while ago but i think it’s a good time to post it now hehe

will contain nonsexual nudityyy in the cut!!

This is Hershel’s new ref sheet!! the old one was..erm..kinda doodoo LOLLL! Kinda scared to get hate on this waaaa but idgaf I love her hehe

as always, going into detail abt bullet points!!

•Pronouns

Generally, she goes by she/her pronouns. Though with her wife, (post miracle mask/what i’ll call dy miracle mask), she also enjoys going by he/him from time to time..but really only with her wife. She’d rather the public use she/her.

•Sexuality

I like to think she’s bisexual but mainly with a preference for women. In diabolical Yuri’s writing, she dates a lot of the female cast. They enjoy her gentlemanlyness I guess LOL! She hardly involves herself with men but if her wife were a man, she would still love them dearly. She’s very sapphic in my head tho haha..

She’s also a Stone Butch! if you’d like me to go more into that, send me an ask!! :3

With original Hershel, I like to think he’s also bisexual haha yay

•From Barbados & Puerto Rico

Ok this is purely because I projected so heavily onto Hershel that I gave her my ethnicity LOL. Diabolical Yuri au is really to help find joy in myself haha.. Also chose to make her those ethnicities because I hardly see characters from Barbados and wanted to feel represented!

Though, Hershel wasn’t raised in Barbados or Puerto Rico, her biological mother is from Barbados and her biological father is from Puerto Rico. She was raised in a small unnamed village with her sister until she moved to Stansbury alone with her new adoptive parents after an accident involving her father and mother had occurred.

•Facial Features

For dy and in canon, I like to give Hershel a big nose because I find it cute hehe.

For dy, I give Hershel crow feet. No the little lines by her eyes are NOT eyelashes, they are crow feet. Without them, it makes her art just not look like her. She gets them from her (bio)mother.

Another thing that I do is give her a rounder plump face. I think it fits for her and looks great hehe!

I also give her visible facial hair by the sides of her head and by the left side of her face! I give her facial hair because, again, I want to feel represented in my designs. I have facial hair in those areas as well and I think it looks good on other characters too!

Lastly, visible eyebrows. Gave her eyebrows because her hat can’t possibly cover them up, unlike regular Hershel. She’d have to fight with her hair if she wanted her hat to cover her brows! Loll

•Facial Expressions

Hershel has a range of facial expressions that she can do.

When she’s startled, confused, or in a trance she gets little swirly eyes.

When excited, Her eyes dilate like how a rat’s eyes would or gets whale eyes when she’s really excited!

•Hair

She’s got fluffy hair with an exclamation point standing straight up!

•The ring & Wife

The word ���wife” is in quotes because she never got legally married. Her “wife” just bought her a ring. She doesn’t like to use the term girlfriend or anything like that for her partner because she has this feeling that their relationship wouldn’t end, no matter what happens to the two of them.

Though, to keep the ring safe, she doesn’t wear it on adventures. Only to special events like staff parties, birthdays, or evenings out with her special somebody. She’s very afraid of losing it.

•Outfit components!

Decided to give hershel a flared out coat, nothing special haha. Her shoulders are quite boxy in her coat compared to her sweater, but she finds the look stylish.

Unlike regular Hershel, she tends to take off her hat inside buildings like a gentleman would. The hat doesn’t contain much sentimental value to her because of her rocky past with Claire.

Underneath the coat she’s got her lovely orange sweater, attached is her clip on tie. Her tie is really just a pin with a cap to hold the string of the other component of her tie. She finds it pretty rude when someone grabs it to pull on it but doesn’t mind all that much when her wife does it.

Green shoes, nothing much to it!

Not really an outfit component but she does have a purse/case mix thingy that she uses to hold items much like Hershel in the original professor layton. She’s also quite the klepto like the original professor haha!

•Pcos and Other things

I gave Hershel pcos to, again, feel represented in the things I create!

(UWAA,, IF I GET ANY OF THIS WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I don’t reallyyyy know if i’m autistic myself yet,, so pleaseee let me know if i’m doing anything wrong with thisss )

I also decided to give her Autism/Autistic traits. In some of the art I make of her, her hands shake whenever her wife touches her or in stressful/overwhelming situations in dy’s writing. similar to mine whenever I see stuff that I like or just to relax myself.

In dy’s writing, she tends to go silent/mute when she gets too overwhelmed. During her college years it affected her quite a bit but she tries to manage it as she gets older.

She finds certain textures pleasing. She loves to have her hands in hair, preferably dense hair. And she likes the feeling of facial hair as well!! Besides hair, she hates certain bedsheets that are grainy so she’ll try anything to avoid them at all costs.

That’s ittt!! for this section at least!

Nonsexual nudity under the cut!!

Here is how she looks under everything!!

She wears a regular standard bra and Exclamation point boxers with regular old white socks.

She’s got body hair on her arms along with her legs and a happy trail!

yeaaa not much to it haha!

End of ref!!

[shesahershey]

Hello! I know I haven't been very active on here recently, but that's because I've been dealing with a LOT of personal issues. I've just been mentally and physically exhausted to the point where I felt dull and couldn't bring myself to do anything. But I've been working on myself and I'm feeling so much better! During my recovery process, I doodled a lot and started working on Grease Buckets and AHDoT! For the new year, I will be posting more, either stupid drawings or chapter updates, I want to be more active. I look forward to the improvement of the new year, both online and personal :]

Thank you for sticking around!

[wenevergotusedtoegypt]

This is why I have such a hard time with the idea of working for somewhere non-Jewish.

That I could conceivably have to go into work on a day like today and it would be Just Another Day for everyone around me. That at most maybe they’d recall a vague headline about some faceless, nameless hostages being murdered (or merely “dying,” as per the AP) but it wouldn’t actually make any difference in their lives, just another unfortunate bit of news from somewhere far away happening to other people.

“Did you know him?” No. “Well then do you know his parents?” No (although I know people who know them, probably know people who knew him). “Then why are you crying?” He was my brother. They are my siblings. I watched Rachel and Jon for - “Who are Rachel and Jon?”

Hersh is gone, and not just gone, gone after making it through all those months despite his injury and all odds, gone after his parents got in front of the world day after day after day, gone perhaps just a day or so before rescue. A part of me had believed he was likely already dead, with that injury after that amount of time. He wasn’t. Not til now. I’m sorry, Rachel. I’m sorry that with all your emunah and all your hishtadlus you were right, the cynic in me was wrong, and it still didn’t matter.

I don’t want to walk into an office where no one else understands this.

My brothers, my sisters. I’m sorry. I’m broken.

[woodsteingirl]

hello i really like your occasional sy hersh posts on account of he is my real life great uncle (not a joke! i see him at thanksgiving every year and in the summers quite often) and yet i have learned a lot of fun facts about him from you. it makes me very happy that someone out there is shitposting about the crazy guy from my family dinners i really appreciate it

oh my god???? 😭 actually i’m so so sorry. i don’t know if you’ve seen them all some of them are bad… please don’t tell him that there’s a teenage girl out there who’s somewhat parasocial about him… god that’s so embarrassing 😵‍💫….. though i’m glad i could bring some light to his life experiences… he’s such an interesting person.. i still can’t believe he was allegedly neighbors with ralph nader, i’m still dying to know more about that…

[jewishbarbies]

One of the things I don’t understand/agree with when it comes to Biden is his handling of I/P. And disclaimer, this has nothing to do with voting, I already voted for Harris (early), this is a seperate issue.

The hostages. Besides their Jewish ethnic background, a lot of those people are first and foremost American citizens. Shouldn’t the government be doing everything in their power to find them (hopefully alive)?

From what I googled, the plan to get them back is to have a permanent ceasefire. I think it’s pretty clear that that’s not going to happen though. Biden said that Netanyahu is not cooperating when it comes to this, so I tried to understand why Bibi would not cooperate and honestly, I sort of get it.

And this is not me on Bibi’s side or anything of the sort, but assuming this is his line of thinking, if I was the leader of Israel, why the fuck would I make a deal with a terrorist organisation? Who the fuck makes deals with terrorists? Hamas is only going to accept a deal that favours them, and none of that would be good for the people of his country, so there’s obviously no ceasefire option.

So if that’s the situation, why doesn’t the US have a Plan B? It’s been over a year. Israel and Hamas have made it very clear that a permanent ceasefire is not possible (at this point), so what’s next? Are they just going to leave them there?

Is the plan to beg and plead for Netanyahu to agree to a deal (which he will not do)? Is that it?

Idk, I just feel like we used to do more for hostages and POW. I’m not expecting guns blazing, boots on the ground, Saving Private Ryan Call of Duty style type shit, but why is the US not acting? I’m just confused.

yeah, the way it’s framed as if the hostage situation is purely an israel problem when american citizen(s) are involved definitely feels like the Biden admin’s attempt at keeping blame/responsibility off of them, specifically leading up to the election while Biden was still running. now there’s less pressure with it just being Kamala, but it’s still so off to me compared to previous american hostage situations. it felt like Hersh dying was an afterthought not just to Biden but to most Americans. like the “yes very sad. anyway-“ meme. idek what to do differently as far as action, considering how touchy the whole situation is and Netanyahu purposely fucking up ceasefire talks, but at least ACT like you’re upset about it?? act like you’re trying to help negotiate on behalf of OUR CITIZENS?? it’s been a lackluster response as a whole since the beginning for me.

on the topic of “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”, that’s really fucking dumb. because you have to negotiate to at least some capacity if you want your citizens back alive. swallow your pride and come up with a compromise that will bring them home safely. I know it’s very complicated, but Netanyahu’s tough guy act is fucking annoying when literally everyone is screaming to bring them home. hamas is never going to let them go or give them back without a deal of some kind, that’s just a fact. so, do we want them back or not? we can’t continue to pretend we do when we’re actively refusing to negotiate and acting like it’s only the other guy’s fault. there’s been some rescues, but they killed hostages when then learned we were onto them. that’s too big of a risk. those deaths could’ve been avoided with a deal and if Netanyahu is admitting he’s not going to negotiate seriously, it’s on his hands, too.

layherzen au backstory (details subject to change)

pretty much the whole backstory of folsense is rewritten. the town came under attack by vampires (vampires are real in this au), and a great number of people died as a result. some were killed by the vampires themselves, others after being turned

sophia was attacked by a vampire, and while anton was close enough to hear her screams and rush over to try to help, he was too late to save her from dying. he tried to attack the vampire and ended up getting bitten pretty badly, so much so that the other people who tried to help worried that he would die. he barely managed to hang on by a thread

knowing that he would likely be murdered on sight if he were to leave the castle, he stayed safe at home and simply watched as the town quickly became smaller and smaller, either from people dying or from people fleeing. eventually, any vampires who didn't chase the townsfolk down moved on, leaving him alone

most of the events of pb remains the same until luke and hersh meet anton for the first time. he doesn't hide the fact that he's a vampire; both of them at one point notice his fangs. because vampires are real in this au, it doesn't come as that unbelievable to hershel, and he grows wary of anton's intentions behind letting them stay the night

things continue canon compliantly until right before the fight scene due to the obvious: katia isn't there. this of course means that the fight is not prompted, so anton instead simply continues his scare act, threatening one last time to kill and eat them both. hershel starts protecting luke, saying that he wont let anton hurt him, which takes the vampire by surprise. hes never had someone refuse to leave before. not to mention there's something about hershel's determination that anton finds respectable at the very least. still, he keeps up the act and leaves for a moment, giving them one last chance to flee, although part of him knows they are not going to take it

while hershel does still wish to figure out the truth behind the elysian box, there's also something about anton that he cant help but feel drawn towards. on one hand, he's definitely afraid of him; the man kidnapped him (poorly, but still) and threatened to kill him and luke! even if he was bluffing, his attempts to frighten them both still worked. on the other hand, hershel cannot help but want to know more about the man, and he cannot figure out why. perhaps it was simply his connection to the elysian box. perhaps it was the mystery surrounding his being a vampire. or perhaps it was more personal than that. after all, even from first seeing him, hershel had thought he was quite pretty, something which his voice and demeanour only added onto. and though it scared him, waking up tied up with anton leaning over him calling him "feisty", seeming more than ready to sink his fangs into him... but that cant be right, can it? if all this means what he thinks it means, surely those would have been aspects of himself he would have discovered by now. he's nearly fourty, for crying out loud, and never in his life had he felt this way that quickly, nor towards another man, nor in that kind of context! there must be something weird going on that hes just not fully aware of yet

and to say anton wasnt feeling confliction of his own would be to lie. part of him still wants to drive the two away as he had done to countless other trespassers, and yet there was something special about hershel. the man was determined, brave, protective; he didnt run away or try to fight when anton revealed he was a vampire, even maintaining his politeness; and admittedly, the loneliness had been taking its tole on him for quite some time. decades, in fact. he wants to believe that was the only reason why an ever growing side of him wishes to keep hershel around, but something in the back of his mind practically demanded that there were other factors at play here, that he isn't just desperate and instead actually admires hershel at least a little

it is at around this point that id want the front-story to begin if i were to ever turn this into something. my ideas for the general themes are as follows:

the beginning includes a lot of self discovery, mainly on hershels end. hes realising shit about himself that he feels like he should have figured out years ago and, if anything, is a bit ashamed of, especially once anton bites and turns him out of desperation to get him to stay

luke wants to help hershel, but he practically demands he leave just in case. luke eventually complies and rushes out of the castle. he goes to find chelmey and tell him what happened. idk what id do with that but it is a conflict that exists

yeah this part is basically just a rewrite of that one fic i wrote

while hershel and anton stick together, things go from awkward to normal and great and awesome to... "codependent in a spicy way" is the most appropriate way i can put it. its very much a thing where if youre uncomfortable with the very specific elements of their fucked up relationship youre not gonna like what i have to say about them. thats part of where my hesitance lies. i wont go into detail, you get the hint (i hope...)

its a fairly slow burn tho, so slowly in fact that neither of them realise how bad things are getting even when theyre in the thick of it. gives me the chance to play around more with unreliable narration

chances are, this is just going to be an au that i keep rotating in my brain instead of sculpting into something for others to enjoy, but i wanted to get my thoughts down in case it was interesting to people. itll definitely be more mature than what i usually make, but part of me does want to write a longfic. whatever i decide to do will depend on future me's comfort levels

[partisan-by-default]

According to another leak, at least three of the murdered hostages were on the list of those to be released first as part of the hostage-ceasefire agreement that has been on the table for many weeks. One of them was Hersh, prioritized because he lost a hand in the Hamas attack on October 7. So a “senior Israeli source” - or multiple sources - familiar with the details of the talks  told Israeli media. The leaks were only the latest indication that Netanyahu had stalled the talks by stiffening Israeli conditions. Gallant clearly shares that view. His first statement after the deaths called for the security cabinet to reconvene and reverse its decision on the Philadelphi route.

Here’s the essence: Hamas killed six more Israeli captives. Netanyahu abandoned them.

Why has Netanyahu foiled a deal? The most common hypothesis among Israelis, it seems, is that he wants the war to continue because the public pressure for him to resign, or call elections, will increase dramatically when the shooting ends, reservists come home, and the bodies of more hostages are returned for burial. This is a logical explanation. But the truth is that we don’t know what’s going on in Netanyahu’s mind. He may truly believe he will achieve the “absolute victory” over Hamas that he has promised. He may believe that Israel can and should occupy Gaza permanently.

What’s certain are two facts: that saving hostages is not his priority, and that they keep dying.

[mariacallous]

In recent decades, both the moral injury of the Iraq War and the turbulent state of public discourse has shaped an anti-American narrative strongly held by a minority of Americans themselves. By “anti-American,” I don’t just mean opposition to contentious aspects of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. I am talking about actual oikophobia, aversion to one’s own homeland, which manifests on both the far left and the far right.

People as diverse as Tucker Carlson and Noam Chomsky have embraced this twisted narrative. After Iraq, their logic goes, and after decades of growing political division, the United States can do no right. This is why the United States shouldn’t aid Ukraine, they argue—we are failing as a country and have no authority to intervene. Whatever other countries might be doing, the United States is doing worse.

It’s gotten to the point that U.S. President Joe Biden’s bold surprise visit to an embattled Kyiv earlier this week was met with such howls of consternation at home that I got the impression that some of our extremists would outright cheer if Russia had, in the words of its own propagandists, tried to “whack Biden” in Ukraine.

There is a defeatism in the words and actions of these U.S. supporters of foreign dictators. They believe there is no hope for the United States. No matter how much they may hem and haw, the logical conclusion of this narrative is: “Americans should give up and let people like Russian President Vladimir Putin run the world.”

“Stick a shovel into the ground almost anywhere and some horrible thing or other will come to light,” the Canadian author Margaret Atwood wrote in The Blind Assassin, an extraordinary book published a year before the events of 9/11. As the decade wore on and I became a journalist who worked in a number of countries, I kept coming back to this line. They are not an absolution, but they are a practical way of thinking about the world: There are no utopias.

The call to give up, simply because we are not a utopia, plays on fears about our global standing after decades of the war on terror. Consider Seymour Hersh. As an already-seasoned and celebrated investigative journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War, Hersh followed up by reporting on the inhumane torture at Abu Ghraib prison.

Yet years later, Hersh has devolved into a writer who will carry water for a number of war-crime enthusiasts—as long as they are not American. Now, he is an apologist for the brutal regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Most recently, he has been celebrated by Russian war propagandists for alleging that the United States blew up the Nord Stream pipelines. It’s an explosive allegation – based on a single anonymous source. . Not to mention the fact that when one turns to open-source intelligence, glaring holes emerge in Hersh’s detailed narrative.

I understand why some people have been electrified by Hersh’s recent writing, even if it’s bad. Today, the most committed Americans are internationalists, but careful ones—as a 2021 survey by the Eurasia Group Foundation points out, the majority of Americans want the United States to have a greater international role, but not one in which Washington commits our troops at the drop of a hat. Americans are rightfully wary about interventionism, and Hersh’s allegations play into that wariness.

Yet being careful is not the same as projecting our fears and doubts onto the rest of the world. Americans have baggage as a nation—as every nation does—but forcing others to carry it is immature and self-indulgent.

When I was a young person during the George W. Bush years, for example, I began to balk at manipulative and melodramatic rhetoric on freedom, how it cheapened the very idea. Does this give me the right to laugh at Ukrainians who are dying in the thousands because they want to be free of a murderous dictator next door? No, that would be selfish and cowardly.

The devastation of 9/11, the confusion and pain of the wars that followed, the hollowing of our institutions, the increase in bitter divisions—all of these things are real, part of the scar tissue that grows on society. But Americans have choices about how to see those scars and what to do about them.

It’s not my intention to diminish the brutality of some of the United States’ most hotly debated foreign wars, from the Philippines to Iraq. What I do believe is that you can’t effectively reckon with the past if you don’t believe in the future. People who implicitly argue that the failures of Iraq justify a lack of response to Russia’s genocidal invasion of Ukraine have stopped believing in the future. If you rightly think that Abu Ghraib was horrible, you should have something to say about the countless Abu Ghraibs that Russia has created, not turn away and shrug.

Americans should engage with the world, not turn away from it in a spasm of self-hatred. After decades of costly interventionism, the United States is now being practical, using a small fraction of its defense budget to degrade and destroy a significant fraction of Russia’s war machine without putting U.S. troops on the ground. Even a cursory look at Russian propaganda will tell you that this war machine had plans even bigger than taking Ukraine and that this spending is justified in light of the threat Russian fascism has posed. It’s not just 40 million Ukrainians whose lives are on the line here—though they should be enough.

That Americans are tired of war is understandable. In fact, Russians gambled on that in the beginning. Americans proved them wrong. We can, and should, continue to prove them wrong. As a nation, we are greater than our fears.

[justkillingthyme]

Ok I’m reposting this bc I’m a dumdum and forgor to tag it

Pretty much I’m writing an Akbadain fix-it and I posted another poll about how to hurt Hershel

I love him so much I want to give him a smooch

the general was for light stabbing,

So the question now is when does he get stabbed?

Cause for me it seemed like his top priority in the ruins was to make sure that Randall was safe, then that Randall was happy. All over his own health and happiness, (though he did end up enjoying himself to a certain point)

I can totally see himself getting hurt and then being like ‘I can’t ruin this for him :(‘ so he doesn’t tell anyone, or prioritizing Randall’s safety over his own (cause they promised Angela that he’d be safe)

In the big circle room with puzzle 100 and the little gay fencers it would be harder to hide an injury because of the proximity but Hershel is very clearly looking out for Randall’s safety (also just in general, not only bc of Angela) but I feel like Hershel could pull it off.

It would be easier to hide it if he got stabbed after they got separated (for obvious reasons)

I do remember that when they reconnected he asked Randall if he was hurt, Randall said that he was fine and then asked him the same.

If I’m remembering right he gave a noncommittal answer (like ‘I’m alive 🤷‍♂️’ or something like that in the EU version) and than Randall was like ‘great we both aren’t injured :D’ even though Hersh didn’t really answer him?

So…

The fix-it would come when Randall finds out

Sure, he might have some crippling failure and disappointment issues, but he wouldn’t sacrifice his best friend for it

This could go multiple ways but I’m more inclined for it to go something like this

Hershel is like ‘oh fuck I’m in so much pain buts it’s fine lmao’ and Randall’s like “my man are you even listening like are you good” and then he like actually takes a good look at him cause they’re in the final room.

Randall goes “Hershel. Move your fucking hands.” And Hershel goes ‘😨’ but he does and Randall moves aside his little vest and there’s a huge ass bloodstain and Randall has to decide between the life of his best friend and his life’s work, aspiration, and proof that he’s good enough.

And he chooses to leave with Hershel, but he’s like “You can’t do that it’s too important. I’m fine let’s go man :)” and Randall goes “😨 HERSHEL YOUR FUCKING DYING??? WERE GOING HOME GIRL WTF YOU REALLY RHOUGHT ID CHOOSE SOME STUPID ASS RUINS OVER YOU??” And then they kiss homosexually so then they go home

So that’s how Hershel saved Randall’s life 👍

Superbugs Catastrophe

By Arjuwan Lakkdawala

Ink in the Internet

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are expected to claim more human lives than cancer by 2050.

Situation is only short of being declared a health emergency.

Almost 10 million people die each year in the world from cancer according to www.ourworldindata.org 

The factors contributing to the rise in superbugs are many by which mutations and ARGs occur resulting in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. 

Antibiotics overuse and misuse are among the factors and so is hospital hygiene.

ARGs (antibiotic-resistant genes) through Horizontal Gene Transfer can occur in three main ways: Transformation - in which the bacteria picks up genetic material from the environment.

Transduction - in which bacteriophages transfer genes between bacteria when bacteria DNA gets incorporated in the genomes of the virus. This can happen during the Lytic or Lysogenic Cycles which are reproduction processes of bacteriophages.

Conjugation - in which genes are transfered between bacteria from a donor bacterium to a recipient bacterium on direct contact.

In laboratory tests transduction was observed more frequent to occur than in nature. This may or may not be a reassuring indication. Because of the abundance of phages and bacteria generally in hospitals. More studies and observation is required in this matter to have a better understanding or estimate.

Bacteriophages or phages for short, are viruses that have specifically evolved to attack bacteria and are harmless to humans. They were in fact used to treat bacterial infections before the discovery of antibiotics.

Microbiologist Felix d'Herelle in 1917 at the Institute Pasteur in Paris, published a paper in which the lysing of bacteria was described "by an invisible microbe he named Bacteriophage." 

The first recorded therapeutic use of phages was in 1919.

Phage Therapy is being explored by scientists again because of the superbug catastrophe. The increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria is so severe that if no solution is found humanity will go back to the days of dying from the simplest of infections.

Phages have two studied functions of reproduction. One is highly in favour of elimination of bacteria which is used in phage therapy. It is the lytic cycle: the phage attaches to any of its specific target range of bacteriam and injects its DNA into it, eventually the phages multiply in the bacterium killing it.

To use this process as phage therapy it is required to identify the phages that can attack the specific bacterial infection. Since each type of phage can only attack a range of bacteria but not all bacteria.

The sides effects are not known of this treatment if there are any. What is known so far is that the phages used in the therapy should be eliminated from the human body when there is no bacterial infection host cells anymore. 

However, phages can also be a factor that contribute to bacteria getting ARGs by the lytic or the lysogenic cycle in which the phage injects its DNA into the bacterium but instead of multiplying immediately the phages are reproduced in the cell devision process of the bacterium. However, here too the phages eventually kill the bacteria cell and burst from it to infect more bacteria cells.

Bacteria can also become superbugs due to natural mutations during cell division.

Phages are the most abundant entities on earth, outnumbering all living organisms including bacteria. And have been actively evolving for billions of years.

It is suspected they might be the workers that drive evolution in species.

I interviewed some nurses who said another problem with the treatment of bacterial infections is the practise of prescribing strong antibiotics from the start. The problem with this is that if the bacteria becomes resistant there is no higher antibiotic to administer said the nurses.

Adam Hersh, M.D, Ph.D. an expert in infectious diseases writes in an article on the University of Utah website.

"When US doctors prescribe antibiotics, 60% of the time it is strong antibiotics (broad spectrum) which can kill multiple kinds of bacteria. According to a study by University of Utah researchers. But more than 25% in such cases it is useless because the infection is from a virus." He says the downside of this can be that the antibiotics kill the "good" bacteria in the body which can lead to more side effects and also contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

hiiii *scurrys away* DY Claireeee n Clive mentions heheheheeee

Some bullet points in the image & Facts

• Her Corset is made for Comfort, or Just her overall Health. If she takes it off, which she can, it’ll cause great discomfort and/or death because it holds her Organs in place.

-During the blast, her abdominal or major torso area was struck, leaving her body in pain and needing the corset to keep her vital organs in place.

• She is a trans woman and went on HRT pre-blast. And also, Bisexual!

•She’s got Freckles bc I am a Claire Freckle truther

•She made her hat! And also made Hershel’s hat. She loves to make clothing, including the outfit she’s wearing now.

•She’s from the UK

•Her gloves are made to hold gems and jewelry

•The glass in her goggles are made of gems

•She met Hershel in college from Dahlia, Who was a very good friend to Hershel. Ultimately, after a year of dating, things didn’t work out between the two of them. Hershel couldn’t get over her own problems and wanted to just be friends again. This devastated Claire as she was still very much in love with Hershel , so after the blast, she created Hersh-bot to cope.

(Design Subject to change)

•After the blast, Her and Clive became a found family! Clive often tells her that she needs to meet real people, but she brushes it off and goes back to the robot wife she made.

(No full design of Clive yet hahaaaa just doodles)

Top 40 Albums of 2023

We say goodbye to 2023 with 40 of the best albums we've listened to in the last year, a list topped by Fever Ray's amazing third album "Radical Romantics", another close encounter with Karin Dreijer's extraterrestrial electropop project. Our top 5 albums of the year also include Yo La Tengo's "This Stupid World", one of their best efforts in an amazing career that's nearing its 40th anniversary, Protomartyr's sixth album "Formal Growth in the Desert", another post punk masterclass, and the two excellent albums that newcomers Bar Italia offered us in the year ("Tracey Denim" and "The Twits"), combining a hard work ethic with great talent.

Here are our Top 40 Albums of 2023 based on what we've listened to so far, plus a few others that stood out. This list will be updated in the near future as there are certainly more good albums out there that we are yet to discover and will be posted in its final form in Cool Music Database as usual.
