Having a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that I was a college freshman 10 years ago

so i finally read the whole chapter 1115 and the only thing i have to say is...peloponnesian war and melian dialogue. it is the beginning of realism theory, the so called "the strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must" theory. the peloponnesian war ended in antiquity, but the fight of the ideas continues to this day and so far no one is able to say which one of the views, the realist view of athens and/or the non-realist "the weak can put up a fight" view of melos, was right or wrong

i feel like keith could absolutely terrify normal/rational people (hunk, lance) by coming up with the weirdest most complicated way to fix the most simple problem. shiro is very used to it so he isn’t scared anymore

i think keith and pidge are two sides of the same raccoon-macgyver-packrat coin, but whereas pidge is a #WomenInSTEM👩‍🔬, keith is an unhinged liberal arts major

three shots in trying to figure out what bradley was planning on doing with his poli sci degree if getting in the navy didn’t pan out

officially switched my minor today from creative writing to politics (international relations). simultaneous “it’s so over/we’re so back” feeling

I did it boys, three weeks of feverishly thinking about him at work, 12 stickynotes, and a few hours of digitalization and he's alive! (Goofy Ahh Sidekick-)

And some bonus info! Because I do believe with my whole heart that Leon would dress up in that goofy lil wizard costume for his entire school career and then realize it was hella impractical last second and completely rebrand himself.

In the School Era doodles he's about 15-18, and his Pro Hero doodles are ages 19-??? (Whenever he retires or dies ig???)

once again I still think finn and Liz are better as friends, but also I think what’s very irritating about this pairing is that they aren’t really playing a part in any major plotlines rn, so seeing them show up feels like these two have been paired together to hit contract minimums in the meantime, like they’re in this romance story holding pattern until the writers figure out what to do next…

this is incredibly dumb, but I get such a warm feeling out of something if I feel it's "Connected to History" in some vague narrativized way.

had this happen last night where I got a small block of chihuahua cheese as a snack for the walk home, and eating it prompted me to meditate on Chicago as the largest "trade outpost" in the US -- the confluence of wheat, soybean, dairy, and meat shipments by rail or by barge (likely via the northern branches of the Missouri, but the Mississippi may be involved) and the connection to the Mississippi shipping system (by way of literally reversing the flow of the Chicago River, no I will not shut up about that) producing meatpacking plants in the city itself, bringing about a local cuisine culture that heavily relies on cured/smoked/otherwise naturally preserved meats, then that logistics network combined with the icecar brings about the possibility of the dairy farmers of Wisconsin beginning to specialize in their creameries, leading to further developments in the Americanization of various foreign foods, such as the Michigander adoption of "brick cheese" as a component of a pizza cheese mix that I've seen slowly get reincorporated into the newer pizza places' recipes (god, if only I could track regional incorporation of Muenster as a pizza cheese over time).

Why do I think like this? I'm not even sure I've gotten all the facts right!

okay but r being lonely by himself eating a sandwich on a little bench doesn’t get me as much as s eating dinner at a table full of people and nobody talking to him actually.

i thought of him sitting on the stairs listening to music play and people laugh in the distant and got Very Upset.

see i can take lonely s i can enjoy it even because i often feel he could stand 2 be taken down a peg or two at least until the whole prison era he has going on. ALTHOUGH admittedly the image you conjure does upset me i am more fond of him than i expect my blogging habits would suggest however. r is my most special little princess and well if HE was at a table full of people and nobody was talking to him i would have to set myself on fire most likely

im halfway done writing buzzsaw dilemma (yay!) and i think i can say that if you read the whole fic you will develop a decent understanding of nuclear strategy despite nukes not being relevant to the story

Oh my gosh he's so adorable...

Hey saw your tags about anemia and still being anemic after taking supplements. And you may have tried this, but I got this tip from another tumblr user so I'm passing it on. Have you tried Iron Bisglyconate supplements? It's a different form of iron than typical supplements or RX supplements and it's much better on your stomach and more easily absorbed. And in my experience it worked when normal Ferrous Sulfate didn't.

I consulted my doctor and she went off and told me the correct dosage for me when I was severely anemic was 100mg/day but normally I take about 50mg now.

Just worth trying. For the record they don't know the cause of my anemia either but my mom has had the same problem her entire life. They just don't like when I tell them it has to be genetic.

I haven't tried bisglycinate - i've now got some tabs open for reasearch, thank you!

my Dr put me on 28mg heme polypeptide + polysaccharide iron complex every other day, which does seem to help a bit but not get me out of the zone?

after the one session of iron infusion last november, we seem to be just watching the hemoglobin go slowly back down. he seems to feel like if it gets too low again then the answer is just another infusion and has stopped really looking at causes/other options

i'm a bad case i guess because i'm also taking omeprazole and that inhibits absorption.

my new idea recently was to try a methylfolate supplement, even though my folate numbers are good, in case it was a lack of the right kind of folate that was inhibiting iron uptake (i don't get a lot of plant-derived vitamins) but it was *really* affecting my mood for the worse, so i had to stop. next appointment is soon, so we'll see in the bloodwork if it had any affect.

i'll ask him if trying another form of iron supplement might be worth looking at - maybe in addition?, because he didn't really offer a choice - just said "take this, it's easier on your stomach" (probably because the metformin is rough enough on my digestion)
