#how unfortunate!

[dandelionjack]

i say ‘unfortunately’ way too much. unfortunately, it’s become something of a catchphrase and i have no intention of taking steps to diversify that aspect of my vocabulary because, unfortunately, it seems to be quite fitting when the situation is unfortunate, which is far more frequently than i’d prefer. unfortunately, there is nothing to be done about it, most of the time. this is all ironic because i’m one of the luckiest people i know. unfortunately, that only applies to grand sweeping near-misses and miraculous passes, rather than any kind of success in my day-to-day personal life. i think it’s all rather unfortunate. in my defense, i’d replace that adverb in a heartbeat if the circumstances allowed for it. unfortunately, the conses against all expectations continue to quence, and everything’s been in suspended animation for the past 3years-ish, but i ride the wave of dissatisfaction and it will someday wash me ashore — and on that day i will speak into existence something entirely different

i desperately need people to realize there's a difference between "women need to coddle (cis) men's feelings even when they're being misogynistic uwu" and "we shouldn't tolerate misogyny but actively keeping men separate from women and treating them like they're inherently dangerous to women is only going to worsen the problem (and also this mindset causes IMMEASURABLE harm to nonbinary, trans, and intersex people, who are already incredibly at risk right now)" and i need people to realize that NOW

Here’s the picture I referenced!

In total this took 6 hours which is honestly surprisingly short given how much detail is in that skirt. The skirt alone took up about 2 hours of that time though lmao

Something that completely flew over my head (I am not very observant), I was rereading chapter 87: Winged Lion II to re-check some things about dungeons and I just now realized the ancient humans weren't from the current races we know.

They seem to have characteristics from several of the human races together, and some of them even seem to have fur (like demi-humans?)

It's even implied that the lifespan differences and physical differences (the two asking for muscles and using magic in the background) were due to the Demon granting wishes

I did notice this part but I didn't realize this was probably part of the source of the race differences rather than the races already being different and wishing for different things.

So at some point the human races might have been even more closely related, before a powerful being influenced their evolution.

AU where Damian feels really bad for hurting Tim but won't admit it out loud, so he goes into over protective mode.

you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.
