#how much drinking water a day

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
#apollo don't fucking touch this one#serious post#not a shitpost#hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day#fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists#i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown#at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal#i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid#like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line#probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored#luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry#while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent#also eggs are $15

do you think the abyss healed Childe’s scars?
realistically I know it’s stupid graphics & model “limitations”
But do you think his skin looks as normal as it did before he fell.
Cause when they’re hit, an abyss monster.
They disintegrate.
Do you think Ajax’s scars healed like that? In the abyss? After it, too?
Do you think they burned? Or was it numb, as the darkened skin faded away with little, yellow, glowing particles?
That he has no evidence of his suffering for those three months in hell (and his only companion’s silence) but dull eyes no one wants to look at?
Callouses on his hands and feet that no one pays attention to? Takes care of?
That he shows his prowess and uncanniness and abyssal hunger because that’s the only way how? Yes. he is hungry and wants a fight. Look at him. He’s off. Broken now.
Look at him.
Please.
#am I self projecting?#maybe#a little bit#Nothing like a mental breakdown from a sort of family dinner meeting new people to remind a mfer they’re fucked#it’s me I’m mfer#also abt that companion’s silence part#as much as I fucking Abhor genshin’s uwu-ifying of Skirk#and her characterization cause god fucking damn it hoyo Give him a good parental figure#She says she didn’t talk to him at all/the bare minimum cause she sees him as weak#what the fuck#How do you send your son that was missing for three fucking days Blow off his trauma And then send him to the military?#You don’t care about him.#skirk evidently doesn’t#And the tsarista is all up to interpretation and is dubious as an average#does childe have any caring parental figure? Who the fuck knows.#genshin impact#childe#tartaglia#childe tartaglia ajax#genshin ajax#tw vent#?#self projecting#it’s sad. isn’t it? to have suffered but have nothing to show for it.#Christ I’m fucked.#do u think I should go back to the social gathering?#:/#drink water#stay safe#<3

procrastination is starting to have its consequences finally
#on my friends living room floor they love together but one of them has been london for weeks or maybe months#to be with her love. im on a foam mattress from one of their beds next to a glass bottle of water opened by one of them#in a mug given to me by another. the weather felt like my childhood today and it also felt like 2 years ago.#(put space in the heavens Einstein's idea and hes your friend too so nothing to fear) around the table they drank and laughed and i thought#i hope you keep growing so full with the love you receive . i hope your appetite becomes insatiable from how used to it you are#and i know youre all leaving soon but i hope one day you miss this and that youll be happy you miss it#its worth missing i think#i thought he didnt care but he said after exams hes going walk around this area over and over#(this is near where he lived and where we visited almost daily for a year)#(hed come across the bridge on a lake)#we went where she used to live and at the entrance a fox sat calmly. it just yawned and stared.#it felt important somehow. i think maybe their impressions of me will never be close to how i feel inside but i think#i love them enough for that not to matter. i dont think theyll ever know this. i dont think if they did it would change much.#and seeing them smile makes my heart glow anyway. today i tried their malaysian tea the ginger burned my throat#they warmed my heart. hes going to canada soon and hes going to the US soon and shes going everywhere soon ill never understand#how were supposed to live with memories and with seperation and with the past but we do it anyway so i think it doesnt matter much#i wanted to write a poem for the lab rats with the fibre optic wires lit with blue forcing them to turn around and around#something about how im sorry that the two photon arrays burned the inside of your brain. im sorry about the sharp points of multielectrode#arrayes. im sorry about everything we do to you. she asked to see me tomorrow. im trying to have self control but i miss her so awfully#last night my friend talked to me and i updated on everything that happened with love and the lack of it and she just started laughing#and she told me about the same thing from her side. and she told me about how she loved london because she would walk the streets#and she felt like the people were her. and her eyes would go over the people and the bag of bagels and the construction men they probably#have a kid at home maybe shes a daughter. this kid is crying for her mother and the building you just walked past caused#blisters and pain and people died in it and very likely people were born in it. we talked for hours and i felt like#i was holding her hand just like that time she held mine watching a horror film. i love her so much#my friend is a genius and i remember her picking up the charms of my phone and staring at the leaf hanging from them. shes side stepping to#music drinking dangerous cider and cocktails from a movie and chit chatting with billionaires and undergrads#i love her dearly. his head covered in electrodes. she tells me about a syrian guy shes in love with and she says#what you feel and what i feel is like cocaine. ive tried a lot of fucking cocaine.#she says ive reminded her of what living actually feels like and to never put energy into someone who doesnt see me this way.

Everything is so fucking hard I can’t even get a doctor 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
#I need blood work done so bad#I’ve been constantly dehydrated no matter how much water I drink for months#and I’ve been with case worker after case worker and nobody can get me a fucking therapist and I’m literally just not okay#I’m exhausted all the fucking time#I literally can’t do anything i need I feel so helpless#I don’t wanna struggle every day for the rest of my life

Idea! Make your Whumpee sick, and then make them completely unable to sleep <3
Give them a murdering headache, fever, chills, pain everywhere, and then take away their ability to sleep it all off. They close their eyes, hope so desperately to make time go faster, but when they open their eyes again, barely 10 minutes have passed.
#whump#whump prompt#illness whump#today’s prompt is inspired by me#I don’t Know what the fuck my body is doing but I haven’t slept since yesterday morning#only a few times did I manage to like. dog off or space out for twenty minutes or so#I also got this fun 39.5 fever and it’s giving me extra fun dreams#I was straightup sobbing for most of last night because I constantly felt like there were evil little robots around me#that would zap me with electricity if I stopped moving or working or whatever#I’m also so fucking nauseous oh my god#the legit only thing I can drink when I’m sick is warm water with lemon juice. no sweet tea with honey. no water. no broth#only lemon juice water#how is it only 3 pm I feel like this day has been going on for 75837 hours already#irl whump#lol oops#also to the people that recommended putting damp cool cloths on your thighs or wherever during a fever#pain of a million punches drives through me if I so much as touch something cold#I accidentally brushed my shoulder against my charging cable and ahahaha no#yeah anyway

diet soda is fr such a double edged sword, like I love the taste and the lack of calories but I just know the chemicals are sooooo bad for me
#like how much Pepsi max do I need to drink before my brain starts disintegrating#I obv drink a bunch of water too but like two cans a day is so bad 💀

one thing about barton is that he (unfortunately) has the most dead-eyed stare half the time, even when he's describing something extremely traumatic that happened to him, so people may not know whether it's due to the fact that he just doesn't feel like he has ' life ' in him or if this is because he was really messed up by the trauma (it's both. it's both in most cases)
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#yeahhh he uh. i feel like every time he talks about his bio father in particularly he gets this dead eyed look to him-#and it may be kind of disconcerting to see BUT part of it is due to the fact that he has kind of separated himself from the pain if that-#makes any sense?? like barton sometimes thinks about his past in such a way that it makes him feel like it happened to someone else-#bc he genuinely cannot still comprehend all of the trauma that wesley put him through sooo yeah. but he'll also get this look when-#talking about how it was like to transition from being in a VERY toxic household (aka with wesley) to being in what comparatively was a-#saints household (winslows household) bc both of the environments were so different that they were like light and day to him-#buttt whenever barton talks about his father he pretty much is ALWAYS speaking about wesley bc (and i know this is just... OMG but)#he taught him the ideology that he uses today that is such a big part of his life now so his brain tries to occasionally tell him that that#and other... thing's that wesley did that were very much NOT love were actually his way of showing love to him and it's. yeahhh it's#kind of devastating but anyhow JSJSJ how are y'all doing today? have you been drinking enough water and have you eaten yet?#tw: discussions of mental illness.#tw: trauma.

The problem with starting to think about the Pack more is the fact that now I want to grab Skalamander the same way I grabbed Bobo like. My house now. I want to use your character potential.
#Generator rex#genrex#Just. Ough. OUGH.#Bobo was just a bad use of his potential but Skalamander is just a nothing use of his potential. Very little character there.#But looking at his design I just. Cannot get the question out of my head of 'Is it painful?'#Is he an EVO who lives in constant pain? We see that he can't stop drooling and is blind on one 'side' of his head.#And his tongue flops around when he has his mouth open. His skin stretches and sags in awkward places#It makes me think that he probably lives a pain-filled life and has probably got a wrecked mind bc of it. And then follows VK#Someone who looks at him and says You are not broken. I have use of you. I have salvation.#And with the disability symbolism with Genrex Skalamander also looks the most chronic pain having#Though granted most EVOs with significant body changes probably have chronic pain#I just. Head in hands. Fucked up lizard. How much of his mind is actually still there.#Do you think he has good days and bad days. Bad days where he can't move or days where his mind is more of a mess than usual.#He definitely has to struggle to eat and drink. With no other mouth.#Thinking also in context of Rex Pack AU of like. Skalamander having his bad days and having people who actually care about him#Doing the best they can to help. Bringing him food and water with specially designed straws and utensils#Sitting and talking to him on days his mind isn't fully there so at least he's not alone. Giving him space if he needs it#But making sure to keep a close eye on absolutely anything he needs.#Bc they're one big disabled family and they take care of each other

New art new art!
#welcome home#wally darling#syncrovoid.art#syncrovoid.txt#technically it is still a WIP because uhhh there is still much i would try to fix but i do not wish to work on it for any longer @:P#hfaceless hands of those beyond laying claim on your visage and fame#where is the horror in that? surely being a being that is aware of the audience without knowing who wat or why they watch would be so normal#nothing is wrong nothing is wrong. everything is so normal for a silly little guy like him#also it took SO long yo figure out how to draw his face until i settled on this.. i really need to practice expressions#but hey i was practicing different digital painting styles and i think i found one i like (as seen with the hands haha)#i am still learning!!#that is why it may look a little rough but i think im improving!!#anywho i have been busy so new fic update might take a while but yeah!#i hope you (collective you) are having a lovely day/night! dont forget to drink some water and have a snack#@:)

No one ever talks about hemiplegic migraines and how much they suck and ESPECIALLY no one ever talks about how much your head hurts THE NEXT DAY king my head felt FINE when I went to bed let me LIVE
#anyways hi my migraines get so bad half my body goes numb and every time i move my head too fast the next day it throbs#best way i can describe the day after headace is like. if you've ever had covid and you got that really bad headache???#and like every time you'd move your head you'd have to like wait for a second cause it was fucking THROBBING??#that's the day after headache i usually get sometimes it isn't THAT bad but sometimes it is#and i guess hemiplegic migraine is like#what if you have Migraine boss mode and it felt like someone swung a baseball bat at your head so hard you were experiencing stroke symptom#teehee! ❤️#i am NOT exaggerating one time i made the mistake of trying to sleep off a hemiplegic migraine after playing animal crossing at like 4am#cause screen bad for migraine but ot already sucks so i can be miserable or miserable a d playing animal crossing lmfao cnxncnxncnddf#and ANYWAYS i had a nightmare timmy and tommy were beating my head in with a baseball bat lmfao like you cannot sleep that shit off#it will follow you and it will hurt!#Anyway here is Mimi's super cool guide to a hemiplegic migraine: Take more ibuprofen that is comfortable (my max is 4)#drink a LOT of water cause hydration helps with migraines. lay down in a dark room and throw on a video essay you can half pay attention to#you aren't gonna be able to fall asleep but close your eyes and just focus on that. ALSO icepack. you're gonna be here for a while#anyways i would like to switch up my pain meds when having one cause. ibuprofen isn't good for your stomach! but idk how much to take#so i am stuck in limbo until i figure that out i caught yesterday's too late and that's why my head hurts today

good afternoon beautiful people i am going sick in the head thinking of Neil wearing his orange bandana. just neil and his bandana,,, yeah,,,
#theres just something about neil still buzzing with practice energy#and wearing his bandana while drinking water to cool down#that is driving me crazy#i can also imagine it drives andrew crazy#imagine andrew particularly bored with todays practice#latching on to the little hairs that had escaped neil's bandana#and how he gets to appreciate neil's entire face being lit up by the locker room's light#for once not being covered by his hair#and how much it makes neil look even more handsome#safe to say andrew is Annoyed tm#one day neils hair gets in the way of him cleaning his room#and he wears his bandana at home#Andrew catches sight of him#all soft and comfortable tidying his room#and wearing his bandana#its the first time andrew sees neil in a bandana minus the sweat and exhaustion of practice#so he stands in the doorway and just watches neil#watches the little hairs jumping when he picks up an item of clothing to fold it#he comes up to neil#practically plastering his body to neils#neil: didnt know you were this fascinated with me folding clothes.#andrew: close enough.#neil wears a confused expression that andrew wants to immediately wipe off with a kiss#andrew hovers his hand above neil's head#andrew: yes or no?#neil. dumb dumb neil doesnt even ask about what and says yes#andrew gently places his palm over neil's bandana#stands on his tip toes#and kisses neil's forehead#neil's dumbfounded expression makes andrew kiss him on the lips on his way down

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place#where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was#when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll#and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and#evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys#between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's#water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk#and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road#but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood#and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in#the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings#but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree#as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert#and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a#little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha#but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da#one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here#but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature#bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes#so it goes i suppose#unrelated#listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol

My air conditioning isn't working right, my coffee exploded & burned my finger
Today is not my day
#speculation nation#.... the coffee thing was partially my fault bc i put it in the microwave#but see i didnt put it in for That long (i thought) and it was like#it was totally still when i took it out of the microwave. but i stuck the spoon back in to stir it#and out of nowhere it just fuckin bubbled over. explosively. catching my hand as it did it.#and it didnt hurt that much at first but i still put it under cold water#now that the burn is setting in it Hurts. like this is a pretty solid burn.#and it's 78F in my apartment despite it being set to 73F#and it's the anniversary of the catastrophic pet visit exactly one year ago.#around 1 am it's gonna be the anniversary of my cat's death. :)#so today is. not going my way! haha.#im just trying to get by. trying to relax. got food i was preparing before i got fuckin burned#(i microwaved my coffee bc it got cold and i decided to try drinking it more. i dont even want it now.)#but my finger hurts and i was planning on painting my nails again but idk how well that will work#but i...will Still try... to have an okay day............😭#negative/#animal death ment/

@the-wip-project Day 4: 644
Could have wrote more but I have this thing that if I write right until I need to get to bed, I won’t be able to sleep because I’m too in the flow. However, I reached the half point of chapter ten, which was my goal today so yay! It’s interesting that I re-read the first slice of the opening chapter of my fav book rn and that instantly improved on my writing. Not much, but a touch. It also gave me a little insecurity because now I acknowledged the level of skill there again, and had to face my own right after. But it means nothing though I know, even that book had a first messy draft for sure. Just a bit of an insight for today.
#40k in 42 days#Project Sasin#i can truly pump out words when there’s quiet and im alone#thats what i noticed#because however much i tried to write during the day it was just not happening#that ooor righr after i wake up#in those times i can write so much#but like really at the moment i opened my eyes#no bathroom no drinking water no nothing just simply sitting down and writing#its insane#would be interested how others write the most#in what circumstances
