Hiiii! If you're here, then you likely came from one of my side blogs. When I started writing on Tumblr, I made a side blog every time I started writing for a new fandom...which was fun at first but backfired because now I literally manage like a dozen blogs instead of just having everything on this blog :/

Nonetheless, all replies and comments on my side blogs will come from this blog! Below the cut I have linked all of my side blogs...and in the future, any new fandom that I start writing for will just be included on this blog :)

I appreciate the love and support as always <3 and maybe one day I can get everything transferred here HAHAHAHA.

Four years ago today (March 13th), then President Donald Trump got around to declaring a national state of emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic. The administration had been downplaying the danger to the United States for 51 days since the first US infection was confirmed on January 22nd.

From an ABC News article dated 25 February 2020...

CDC warns Americans of 'significant disruption' from coronavirus

Until now, health officials said they'd hoped to prevent community spread in the United States. But following community transmissions in Italy, Iran and South Korea, health officials believe the virus may not be able to be contained at the border and that Americans should prepare for a "significant disruption." This comes in contrast to statements from the Trump administration. Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said Tuesday the threat to the United States from coronavirus "remains low," despite the White House seeking $1.25 billion in emergency funding to combat the virus. Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told CNBC’s Kelly Evans on “The Exchange” Tuesday evening, "We have contained the virus very well here in the U.S." [ ... ] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the request "long overdue and completely inadequate to the scale of this emergency." She also accused President Trump of leaving "critical positions in charge of managing pandemics at the National Security Council and the Department of Homeland Security vacant." "The president's most recent budget called for slashing funding for the Centers for Disease Control, which is on the front lines of this emergency. And now, he is compounding our vulnerabilities by seeking to ransack funds still needed to keep Ebola in check," Pelosi said in a statement Tuesday morning. "Our state and local governments need serious funding to be ready to respond effectively to any outbreak in the United States. The president should not be raiding money that Congress has appropriated for other life-or-death public health priorities." She added that lawmakers in the House of Representatives "will swiftly advance a strong, strategic funding package that fully addresses the scale and seriousness of this public health crisis." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also called the Trump administration's request "too little too late." "That President Trump is trying to steal funds dedicated to fight Ebola -- which is still considered an epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo -- is indicative of his towering incompetence and further proof that he and his administration aren't taking the coronavirus crisis as seriously as they need to be," Schumer said in a statement.

A reminder that Trump had been leaving many positions vacant – part of a Republican strategy to undermine the federal government.

Here's a picture from that ABC piece from a nearly empty restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown. The screen displays a Trump tweet still downplaying COVID-19 with him seeming more concerned about the effect of the Dow Jones on his re-election bid.

People were not buying Trump's claims but they were buying PPE.

I took this picture at CVS on February 26th that year.

The stock market which Trump in his February tweet claimed looked "very good" was tanking on March 12th – the day before his state of emergency declaration.

Trump succeeded in sending the US economy into recession much faster than George W. Bush did at the end of his term – quite a feat!. (As an aside, every recession in the US since 1981 has been triggered by Republican presidents.)

Of course Trump never stopped trying to downplay the pandemic nor did he ever take responsibility for it. The US ended up with the highest per capita death rate of any technologically advanced country.

Precious time was lost while Trump dawdled. Orange on this map indicates COVID infections while red indicates COVID deaths. At the time Trump declared a state of emergency, the virus had already spread to 49 states.

The United States could have done far better and it certainly had the tools to do so.

The Obama administration had limited the number of US cases of Ebola to under one dozen during that pandemic in the 2010s. Based on their success, they compiled a guide on how the federal government could limit future pandemics.

Obama team left pandemic playbook for Trump administration, officials confirm

Of course Trump ignored it.

Unlike those boxes of nuclear secrets in Trump's bathroom, the Obama pandemic limitation document is not classified. Anybody can read it – even if Trump didn't. This copy comes from the Stanford University Libraries.

✨Self-care✨ is re-reading light bringer and stopping at chapter 82 like damn i wonder what happens next anyway i’ll go and still enjoy my not ruined day

It’s so infuriating that Light Bringer ends on that loaded cliffhanger, isn’t it? Loathsome practice, really: leaving your audience in such terrible suspense—and after four years since the preceding book, too? But... you know, artistic license and all that. I suppose we’ll just have to wait on Red God for our answers.

🤷

But better that than a colossal waste of a chronically misunderstood character (oversimplified by the majority of the fandom and often reduced to a woobified caricature of themselves, abused by an author that, more often than not, only sees their utility as a plot–device) sacrificed like a lamb, fattened for slaughter over the course of the entire book, to further another character’s villain arc.

And because the author thinks spontaneous and senseless death is the pinnacle of plot–twists and the hallmark of compelling tragedy, when it’s really just about the most pedestrian thing you can write, especially as a conclusion to a redemption arc that promised reparations but delivered martyrdom instead.

Let’s count our blessings, shall we?

🙃

I, for one, am excited to see Dassius visit Lykos in Red God. Darrow going off about Cassius’ ethereal bioluminescence while they’re spelunking; Darrow teaching Cassius how to dance in the Red styles and dancing without violent application, for once, in the way that he passionately loves and Cassius has never seen; making rings of spidersilk interwoven with each other’s hair as tokens of their renewed vows—of lifelong brotherhood and steadfast companionship, of course.

Just ignore the fact that Darrow repeatedly compares Cassius to Eo; we don’t need to unpack that. And how they lovingly embrace beside the chasm; the deepmine drafts are cold! And the completely chaste and definitely–not–heated–by–eighteen–years–of–UST kiss on the lips. With... tongue? No, trust—it’s a cultural thing. Cassius is just Franco–Italian.

Ngl, though—I am a touch jealous of you, anon, because I only wish my beef with Light Bringer started at Ch. 82. It is, altogether, a bad time for me. Starting with the eldritch horror that is bald–and–bearded Darrow, because what the actual fuck. Narrative significance be damned, I am not here for Kratos!

😭

No, silliness aside, I’m dead serious about being a Kendrick–level hater of LB from page–fucking–one. But that’s something we definitely don’t need to unpack!

It is with deepest sadness that I am posting this to let all the Emergency! family know that on 12 May 2023 actor Michael Norell passed away.

Mike portrayed Captain Hank Stanley in the show and was very much loved by both fans, cast and crew.

His family had asked that the news be kept private until now.

His obituary is at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/michael-norell-obituary?id=52019510&fbclid=IwAR3c-s-sWm4LgdH7Kte063pV4-2ZwWG2d6je6jbq6ZHrgTeuZTWk33-_Rws
