#health department up

[shima-draws]

Been having a rough couple of days. Send me asks?

i love how every single month, around the same time, i think something cataclysmic is happening to my mental health and then i realize it's my period. so i probably don't need to be researching like, ketamine clinics, bc i'm fine. every single month this happens. like clockwork, i am gripped by panic over how depressed i suddenly feel. it's routine! and yet i never fucking remember that.

I have one friend who is usually the only person who ever actually calls me around this time so i didn't bother checking caller id so i just answered an unknown number by reciting the opening narration of the bee movie. They hung up

I love having chronic migraines it kills my work flow like ✨nothin else✨

It is clear that the protective functions of workplace health and safety have transferred to the workers through the process of corporate government deregulation and reduced funding of relevant government departments.

Love when you are having a class discussion about resources available/unavailable on campus and what can be improved, spitballing ideas to make them more useful and accessible and then of course someone inevitably brings up campus email lists because that is the primary way the school tells students about things that are happening and multiple people are like "not a great idea. i never look at my email"

maybe you should be checking your email then

they give you an email address and 5 thousand different links to access it. it's the most convenient thing in the world. the app costs nothing to have on your phone too. some of the stuff we're literally talking about is emailed to you so you know it exists and often has links to the thing so you can conveniently go to it and y'all are acting like its worthless because you can't be bothered to glance at a notification on your phone. Or go to one of the many public computers on campus to skim your inbox once a week or even month.

15. something you learned this year (while researching for a story)

Thank you!

So I opened Sunset to see when each chapter was posted because I did a ton of research for the earlier chapters, including watching all of Troy (2004) which I do not recommend under any circumstances, but this just ended up with me spending a good chunk of the day rereading Sunset and not answering your question at all.

Sadly, I didn't do much research for the chapters that were published this year. For Agua Caliente, I did look up the names of cactuses in Anza Borrego, and the names of the different camp grounds and various camping rules. I also looked up whether San Diego has eucalyptus trees (yes). I ended up on some incredibly unhinged smoothie sites and learned that smoothie people can be absolutely bonkers. Oh and I watched a bunch of videos about cat birth, ahahah.

I first read and watched FMA in grad school while involved in a riled up graduate student government and watching multiple rounds of undergrad student government undergo scandals which is probably why I developed a very intricate college student government AU with just as much drama and betrayal. Now that I am involved in college governance as an employee I realize I undersold the drama actually.

Anyway as I continue my reread I am going to be incredibly self indulgent and post about this AU because a) I think it's hilarious and b) I need something to distract me from the pain suffering and indignity of having braces again.

lots of carefully written fics of civilian touya building a relationship with shouto, not enough of civilian touya finding a path of healing and deciding not to pursue a bond with his youngest sibling. nowhere near enough touya todoroki in so many words saying what amounts to "i've reached a place where i recognize that the pain and rage that i felt growing up comes from how endeavor treated us, and you bear no responsibility for it, and are, in fact, another victim of our father. i know that none of it is your fault. but i also cannot deny that looking at you makes me feel sick to my stomach. through no fault of your own, you are a reminder of a past where i was constantly angry and helpless and in pain. i do not hate you, but i have no love for you either. i have no desire to be your brother at this point in my life. for my own well-being, i am leaving this house and i am never coming back and i will probably never see you again. i hope you find some sort of peace from all the abuse our father has put you through. goodbye."
