making yourself feel divine: a short guide

i shall update this list as i find/am suggested more things. not all of these will work for everybody, this list is just here in hopes of helping.

-------------------------------------

gods/deities/adjacent

throw a party where everybody brings food. these are their offerings to you.

do some form of fortune or future telling for others or yourself.

wear clothing typical of your pantheon, or themed around what you rule over.

angels

if you're a guardian, think about who you protect.

gold, white, and pastels in your makeup and clothing.

learn to dance something elegant.

demons

wear fake fangs in your daily life. (just don't bite through them like i did.)

have meat around. i personally prefer bacon jerky and prosciutto. simulates flesh, if you're that sort of demon.

if you've got a tail, make one. there's several ways to go about this, but i recommend fursuit makers' tutorials. there's also the more expensive option of those electronic ones that move.

all divinekin

wear accessories related to your correspondences

if you get phantom wings, do things such as going to trampoline parks or, if you're brave, skydiving.

if you so desire, spend some time researching ways to expand your vocabulary and speak more eloquently.

meditate. any sort you'd like.

observe humans. people watching could be rewarding.

candles.

or maybe just ignore all of this. do what you enjoy doing, what makes you feel divine in your own unique way. not all angels are soft, not all demons are evil. not all deities want to be worshipped. no matter what you are, do what you need to be happy.

Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:

After Mike Johnson’s election as Speaker of the House, Republicans unveiled their top legislative priorities for 2025. Leading the list was a bill targeting transgender participation in sports—a measure so expansive it could impact everything from team sports to activities like dancing, darts, and even chess. On Tuesday, the House is set to take up the bill, with a Senate vote anticipated shortly thereafter. If enacted, the legislation would have immediate and far-reaching consequences: transgender individuals could be barred from participating in sports, forced to publicly out themselves, and face the erosion of legal recognition for their gender identity in broader aspects of U.S. law.

When asked about the bill’s prospects, sources familiar with the proceedings described the Senate vote as “close.” With a 60-vote threshold required, it remains unclear how many Democrats will support banning transgender participation in sports, but enough are considering doing so to bring the vote down to the wire. This vote will mark the first major direct congressional vote on transgender issues for many of the elected officials. Republicans appear poised to replicate a strategy that has driven the passage of hundreds of anti-trans laws and policies in recent years: begin with sports bans, normalize denying the legitimacy of transgender identities, and expand to restrictions in broader aspects of life.

Democrats have largely managed to sidestep taking direct, floor-wide votes on transgender issues post-election. During the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, an anti-trans provision barring the children of U.S. service members from receiving coverage for gender-affirming care was included in the final legislation. The bill passed with the support of 81 Democratic House members and was signed into law by President Biden, marking the first national anti-transgender law enacted in the modern wave of legislative attacks on transgender rights in the United States. While the transgender provision was just one small part of a broader budgetary bill—a strategy Republicans are likely to replicate in future fights—the precedent it sets is significant. A Senate vote to strip the provision was blocked by Democratic leadership, signaling that Democrats may be on the brink of conceding on transgender issues even in the one chamber where they currently hold enough power to offer meaningful protection.

The bill, set for a hearing on Tuesday, stipulates that “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” It prohibits transgender female participation by barring “recipients of Federal financial assistance who operate, sponsor, or facilitate athletic programs or activities” from allowing “a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.” If passed, the legislation would result in the immediate outing and exclusion of transgender athletes in sports programs at schools and colleges across the United States. Moreover, it would mark the first instance in recent U.S. law where transgender individuals are explicitly defined as not legally belonging to the gender with which they identify, as recognized by their identification documents and court rulings. While the bill is expected to impact sports that have become hot-button issues for conservatives, such as swimming and volleyball, it is also poised to have far-reaching—and perhaps intended—consequences for other areas of competition. The legislation prohibits athletic associations from making case-by-case judgments for competitive fairness and instead imposes a blanket ban on transgender participation. This sweeping approach means transgender individuals could be excluded from activities such as darts, billiards, dancing, disc golf, fishing, and other sports where claims of unfair advantage are tenuous at best. Even chess—recognized as a sport by multiple universities—could fall under the bill’s scope, echoing a recent move by FIDE, the international chess organization, to bar transgender women from women’s chess competitions. Notably, each of these sports has seen targeted attacks from Republicans in recent years.

[...] There is also no sign that selectively voting in sports bans is politically effective for elected leaders who decide to do so under the false pretense that it will save their jobs. In New Hampshire, one of the states where Democrats arguably capitulated the most on transgender rights—with 16 Democrats voting in favor of or “present” on a transgender sports ban, allowing it to pass—the Democratic candidate for governor lost, and Republicans gained several seats in both the House and Senate, and they have named forced outing of trans students as their next priority. Meanwhile, in Montana, where Democrats fought back fiercely against anti-trans legislation, they gained 10 seats in the House—their largest gain in the past 30 years. With House action expected Tuesday and a Senate vote expected in coming weeks, those who wish to speak to their elected officials about the policy can call them using the address lookup tool provided by Datamade.

Dear House and Senate Democrats, don’t you even entertain thoughts of capitulation and throwing out trans folk. Bans on trans people participating in sports competitions aligned with their gender identity are just the beginning step to make other anti-trans policies palatable.

Hopefully the Senate Dems stand strong and stop cloture of this harmful bill that doesn’t do jack squat about “protecting women’s sports.”

Master Recs: Webcomics (Vol. 1)

I enjoy webcomics. I like being exposed to accessible art, to witness the evolution of artists and storytellers who bring their individual viewpoints to the table, expressing themselves through the medium of free comic books! I spend an inordinate amount of leisure time perusing the old sequential literature. As a result, I follow a ton of people that would give it to me. Now, I wish to recommend a few of these works from my constantly expanding list. I shall begin with a small taster of five, currently ongoing projects to wet your appetite. Let us go.

Preeny Has to Repeat 6th Grade by Jasmine Coté

Preeny is a brush-tailed kitty, fluffy both in appearance and personality, and she might just be the Chosen One to save the world from Darkness – as it is often the case. This comic vaunts a peculiar shtick: the setting is populated by adoptable furry OCs the artist has bought from DeviantArt kids, effectively creating a Kingdom Hearts style fictional universe for the Mid-2000's Sparkledog subculture. This works both as a unique selling point and as a clever metatextual conceit that informs the themes of the story, which is an earnest celebration of creativity, childhood and self-expression, untainted by the cynicism of "You Posted Cringe." It's funny, cute, sincere and it hits you right in the feelings.

HELLO FROM HALO HEAD by Batshaped

The author describes it as "An exploration of the multitudes a person experiences as a response to trauma. Also cartoon animal adventures. I promise it's mostly funny. it's a trauma comedy! a TRAUMEDY!!!!" Indeed, I would say it's an apt summary. The strip began life as a series of Animal Crossing fan comics which would eventually spin into a darkly humorous, twisted yet oddly wholesome deconstruction of kinks and emotional repression. Soon enough, it was rebooted and morphed into the understated, original masterpiece that it is today. Every page oozes with ethereal colours, a delicate yet decisive trait and subtle foreshadowing as a yet unclear narrative starts taking shape behind the surface of "cartoon animal adventures." A rewarding read for those who enjoy to obsess over every detail and pick apart allegories. It's the Thinking Man's TRAUMEDY, if you will.

Haus of Decline: Gay Comics by Haus of Decline

Sometimes, all you need to create a widely appealing classic is a good set-up, a punchline and impeccable comedic timing, all of which encapsulated into the confines of a traditional 4-panel strip. Actually, now that I have typed it, that is one of the most difficult crafts to master. Haus of Decline is a ubiquitous work that has managed to achieve the coveted "Meme Status", swimming in the immediate periphery of your Internet experience. You might be aware of it thanks to that one Steven Universe joke that stands tall as the most succinct and accurate parody of that show. As of right now, I am yet to encounter a single strip that isn't a comedic slam dunk or at least chuckle worthy. If you enjoy a spoonful of irreverent, queer, scatological, sometimes personal humour in your breakfast bowl than this is the cereal box for you!

Molly's Future Mishaps by Peyton Partyhorn

It's the year 2000, the Earth has blown up. Right before that, humans managed to send a rocket full of sea slugs to Europa, one of Jupiter's satellites. It is now the year 3000 on Europa. Molly the slug meets Jo, a sea bunny time traveller from the year 4000. After a soda-related debacle, they both wind up at the end of Time itself. The titular mishaps ensue. Molly's Future Mishaps presents an overly complex amalgamation of premises, each more outlandish than the last, that lays the foundation for what is, in essence, a straightforward character-driven piece. It explores a group of people attempting to finagle their way across Life, their feelings, anxieties, societal pressure, self-worth, many "What If's" and "What Could Have Been's", with timey wimey shenanigans serving as the backdrop for their reasonably scoped adventures. Their personal and interpersonal journeys keep the bizarre, somewhat nonsensical nature of the Universe grounded in a familiar space - in a manner not too dissimilar to that of a Douglas Adams' novel. In truth, the initial run of the comic mostly focuses on comedic high jinks, which tend to be hit or miss, but the writing improves dramatically when it starts exploring the characters' psychology and emotional hang ups. For me, personally, the turning point was the (inevitable) Time Loop arc, which I enjoyed for reasons that will become obvious if you know about my feelings for In Stars and Time. In short: this comic has a high-stakes Absurdist/Existential Sci-Fi premise that belies a refreshingly "Down-to-Europa" story about a bunch of 20-something cartoon slugs. It's relatable!

Dolmistaska by AngusBurgers

In many ways, this one defies description. You should just go read it. Seriously, go read it! It's great! Exceptionally well-drawn too! It looks like an underground Punk comic from thirty years ago. It lures you in with the understated intrigue of its unclear premise, its oppressing atmosphere, environmental storytelling, savvy use of lighting and shading, before dropping everything on you all at once. The protagonist is a non-binary cat person with gremlin energy and a knack for vehicle-related heists. Read it. You'll thank me later.

---

That would be all for now. There might be more webcomic recommendations in the future, whenever inspiration shall strike - or I get in a writing mood. Thanks for reading... and happy further reading!

Next time send this in as two different asks please:

SI: dramioneasks (tumblr.com)

SG:

my brother’s best friend - mrsren - E, 5 chapters - Hermione’s plan to lose her virginity starts with a list of potential men to get the job done. At the top of an already very short list rests Draco Malfoy, but he’s her brother’s best friend. The pinch: Draco finds the list, and she is woefully unprepared for the fallout.

The Healer’s Guide To Transfiguration - malpal132 - E, one-shot - It happens like this: Hermione is hunched over her desk like some kind of Tolkien goblin, essentially deep-throating three Sambal fish tacos from Del Seoul in a desperate bid to finish a late lunch before her next appointment (she’d rather choke to death than be late) when a light knock on the open door makes her head snap up. “Dr. Granger?” Holy shit. Holy shit. Her previous nonchalance about choking to death vanishes when she sees who’s standing in her door and a piece of fish hunkers down for a long winter in her esophagus. “Are you–shall I perform the Heimlich?” He asks, face familiar and concerned as he moves a step closer. “I don’t think your face should be that shade of purp–” She cuts him off by vomiting into the trash can. Airway finally clear, she gulps a few greedy breaths. Her lungs expand and her face burns, and Hermione genuinely wonders if she’s hallucinating. She’s not prone to fantastical thinking even though she’s well acquainted with the fantastic, but…why else would Draco Malfoy be standing in front of her? Malfoy, on crutches. Malfoy, handing her a tissue? Malfoy, but…not. It’s complicated.

Project Ghost by youhavemyswordandmybow - M, 19 chapters - Granger is the Head Analyst working at the DMLE wondering what the hell is going on with the spike of dark magic - and why an unknown wizard vigilante is running around like Jason flipping Bourne. Malfoy, may or may not be that vigilante - but he’s certainly not telling Granger, with her exceptionally nice arse and cute freckles. As Head Auror, (Hermione’s former and Draco’s current) best friend Harry has answers - and as strained as their friendship is, Hermione is going to get them. *** Beta’d by loads of different people but mainly Peb, MagicalIndigoSunrise and Ardeleanca - with huge thanks to them! And if there are mistakes - masses of apologies. If you like it, gimme some kudos or pls write a comment :) Thanks for reading!

Other Halves by westxnorthwest - E, 37 chapters, Words: 155,362 - Hermione is returning to Hogwarts, this time as a professor of Muggle Studies. It had been four years since the Battle of Hogwarts and she was more than ready to reclaim her life as her own, rather than living under the pressures of being part of the Golden Trio. Her personal life might be somewhat in shambles, but she’s willing to forge her own future and put herself first, for the first time in her life. Little does she know, Draco Malfoy is beginning his tenure as a professor this year too. Her complicated feelings as they pertain to the Malfoy heir resurface as she tries to navigate them, her failing relationship with Ron, and the infancy of her career. *** COMPLETED WORK | Author’s Note: This is, first and foremost, a love story. Mind the tags, but this is not a dark tale, just a few…less sunny moments. You’ll have some fluff, some angst, some (hopefully) really good smut, and, of course, some plot to carry us along. Tags have been updated to reference important themes, even if they only feature briefly, and chapters will contain relevant content warnings. If I’ve missed one, please let me know! This story developed into its own as I wrote and posted.

Baby, Any Time You’re Ready, I’m Waiting by Zeebee3 - E, 11 chapters - “Alright,” said Pansy. “Then we’re still stuck. How do we divide three rooms between three girls and three boys?” “You share with Ginny. Blaise shares with Ron. And then Draco and I can share,” said Hermione easily, scrolling through the phone at the rest of the property images. Pansy’s attention snapped to Draco so fast, he almost jolted at the impact of it. “Oh?” She said with pointed interest. Draco shook his head minutely at her and her brows shot up. She turned back to Hermione. “Why you and Draco, Hermione?” “Well it’s such a lovely house, it’d be a shame to pass it up just because of sleeping arrangements.” She glanced up, perhaps sensing the underlying emphasis in Pansy’s question, and met his eyes. “You don’t mind, do you Draco? Or I could share with Ron if you’d rather be with Blaise?” “Don’t mind a bit.” He sipped his tea, the picture of nonchalance. —— Or where Hermione thinks she and Draco are “just good friends” but he’s secretly in love.

Big Dick Energy by louiseob - E, 9 chapters - After months of successfully keeping Ginny Weasley away from happy hours with her coworkers, Hermione finally relents and allows her to tag along. Unfortunately, her crassest friend wants nothing more than to embarrass Hermione and (hopefully) get her and Draco sodding Malfoy into bed together one and for all.

Fifty Shades of Granger - winterwells - E, 7 chapters - Draco Malfoy finds himself reentering society after having been on house arrest for the past five years. The Wizengamot has *graciously* given him the opportunity to leave the manor provided he gets a job at the Ministry. What could go wrong? Dramione, post-war AU

Hello my sweet beloved fellow nerds, I have received my grade (176/200 because I put it in APA instead of MLA, fuck my life) and thus I am Free to share with you my magnum opus,

You Will Appreciate Linen By The End Of This Essay Or I Will Eat My Favorite Hat

(available to read for free on my patreon, along with the list of sources!)

Linen’s place in human history is unmistakable. The flax plants from which it is derived were some of the first to be domesticated by human beings, and linen has been made and worn across Asia, Europe, and northern Africa since neolithic times. Royalty have been buried with bolts of fine linen, communities have thrived and died on the trade of various linen fabric types, and today’s uses of linen have expanded into creating specially-treated fabrics that can prevent the spread of deadly diseases and actively eliminate microbes. It is an incredible fibre with a fascinating hold on our species’ past. Hopefully, we’ll bring it forward with us into the future.

A Primer on Europe’s Favorite Fibre

Flax, or linum usitatissimum, “is an annual herbaceous plant grown today for fibres as well as for oil, which is extracted from the seeds” (Kislev, 2011). There are many species in the linum genus—approximately 200, in fact—but for the purposes of this essay, we shall focus on l. usitatissimum and its ancestors. It is of note that flax is a dual-purpose plant, though many farmers specialize in either fibre or oil. Linseed oil has been in use in industry and the arts for as long as flax fibres have been spun and woven; unprocessed flax seeds are often eaten whole. Indeed, there is debate on whether flax was domesticated solely as an edible crop in many regions of the world, especially northern European countries like those of Scandinavia, before its capacity to be cloth was discovered. While flax seeds and their nutrient compounds are fascinating, they are not the main focus of this essay, and so we shall now set them aside.

The earliest recordings we have of flax fibre are in Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent, but as previously stated, the plant has a wide natural range, further extended by trade and travel. For the majority of linen’s history, its processing method has been largely unchanged—below I have laid out the steps as given by the website for Ulster Linen, an Ireland-based company, with additional details as deemed necessary.

Producing fibers

The process of creating linen fabric is more involved than that of cotton or wool. Whilst the latter two only require cleaning and carding in preparation for spinning, flax must be prepared in stages that take more than a week to complete.

Flax was traditionally harvested through pulling the stalks from the earth rather than reaping with a scythe. This enabled the harvesters to retain as much length and durability as possible, maximizing the amount of product each yield. After pulling, the stalks are tied into bundles, or ‘beets’, and stood on end to dry in a process called stooking. Bundles dried more evenly this way than simply being laid out in the sun. Once dried, the bundles went through rippling; the tops of each bundle were run through a comb fashioned out of nails embedded in a piece of wood, to separate the seeds from the stems. Seeds were then collected and stored for later planting.

The fourth stage of processing flax, retting, required large amounts of warm, still water in which to soak the stalks. Bacteria in the water would rot the pectin binding the fibers together, allowing them to be separated. The water was changed or the flax rinsed periodically. Many northern European communities, such as those in Sweden, may have used bogs or lakes to rett their flax before turning to artificial containers and ponds (Viklund, 2011).

Once retting was complete, the flax was dried thoroughly before moving on to breaking. Stalks have a tough, woody exterior that must be stripped off to use the fibre; this was done by pulling the flax through a set of wooden ‘blades’, root to tip, and beating it until the woody bits were removed. A wooden scotching knife was used to scrape out any shives that remain; this process is called scutching. The final step, hackling, is similar to rippling in that the stems are combed through nails in wood, but as it was the final refining, the nails were more numerous and closer together. Inferior strands caught in the nails were used for lower grade linen.

For a long time, archaebotanists considered seeds, pollen, and other plant-matter found at the sites of former flax fields to be from weeds—unwanted but inevitable products of early agriculture, that left clues on the biological makeup of our landscapes (Latalowa, 1998). However, as further research has been done, some botanists have made note of which ‘weed’ is most prevalent, and a new theory has been proposed: the plant gold of pleasure was a deliberate addition to the fields (Larsson, 2013). Its seeds have been found in similar states as flax, discarded in pits after accidents rendered them inedible or pressed into cakes. This indicates that both plants were appreciated for their oil- and nutrient-rich seeds, though flax, as a dual-purpose crop, has certainly generated more evidence of its historical use.

Sacred and Sturdy

The utility of flax led it to have a status much like wheat, rice, or corn: it was powerful, a connection to the divine, a plant that was with most humans from the day they were wiped clean of their mother’s blood to the day they were buried. Sometimes even after that, in some traditions; much like how the spilling of salt was said to be a powerful protection against the Fair Folk, who would be forced to count every individual grain, flax seeds were sprinkled in coffins to keep the dead bound to their graves (Viklund, 2011). Flax was linked to the Norse goddess Freya, deity of hearth and home, and is mentioned several times in the Torah and associated holy texts. Egyptian pharaohs were entombed with bolts of linen to clothe them in the afterlife. The nobility of many nations dressed in fine linen bleached to a true white, to signal their easy lives and enormous wealth. In Ireland, the linen trade was so important to their economy that the Navigation Act laws of 1660 dealt the country a heavy blow.

And yet… there are hardly any linen clothes in stores or available affordably online. A fabric that’s strong enough to be made into sails for ships that circumnavigate the globe, yet soft enough that royalty swathed their newborns in it, that was with us for thousands of years, is simply unavailable. It is reserved for expensive formal wear and $50 ‘vacation shirts’, unless it is cut in a blend with another fibre. Why? What happened to flax?

Well, like with all global trade, it came down to money.

Fallen from Favor

Flax is an intense plant. It was general knowledge that, after one harvest of flax, it was best to use a field for some other crop for at least six years, lest the soil become depleted of necessary nutrients (Kislev, 2011). The procedures that must be followed to make it comfortable to wear are long and tiring. Linen does not dye easily, and natural dyes fade quickly. Flax grown for fibre prefers cooler, temperate climates and clay-rich soils. And though the fabric is hard-wearing and can even take being washed in a river with lye-soap and beaten with rocks, laborers and farmers couldn’t afford the light stuff that the wealthy could.

Laborers and farmers could, however, afford cotton.

It is speculated that the cotton boom started in India and China, in the 13th century (Styles, 2022). Cotton is not a fussy plant, and is easy to clean and spin. It is usually lighter than linen, takes dyes well, and can mimic linen texture. It is also a weaker fibre, and does not have the same properties as linen. As people who dwell in a cooler climate, we often hear that denim jeans are the worst cold-weather gear; this is because cotton conducts heat away from the body, and if dampened by sweat or melted snow, it can actively hasten the process of hypothermia. Linen is not as good as wool or fur in the cold and wet, but it is certainly better than cotton, and is to this day the second-most recommended fabric for inner layers when spending time outdoors, directly behind wool.

Of course, few people in 13th century India ever had to deal with blizzards and treacherous ice; they had monsoon season and summer. Cotton, though inferior, was quite possibly life-saving. It grows better in the heat than fibre flax, as well, thus making it economically worthwhile.

The problem is that, as cotton became the norm in much of Asia, European countries began to bring it further west along the Silk Roads as a luxury good. Cotton does not grow well in Europe, but that hardly matters when there’s money to be made and luxuries to flaunt. It took quite some time, and quite some work in the Americas from kidnapped and enslaved peoples, for cotton to flood the market and drown out flax; but it happened.

Enduring Threads

Despite the setbacks, linen survives. It is still a luxury good, and the standard for many homegoods—there’s a reason household goods stores have so many different sections for “linens”. In medical settings, such as hospitals, linen is preferred because of the fibre’s natural antibacterial properties. Research is being done on treating linen with microcapsules of thyme oil to repel mosquitoes that carry diseases (Nagender, 2021), or certain metals to increase its resistance to bacteria and microbes (Abo, et al, 2023; Fan, et al, 2020). Compound materials utilizing flax fibres are being proposed for many different industries as sustainable alternatives. Linen yet lives.

So, though we no longer consider linen a fact of life, we are still surrounded by it. It is in our history, our present, and hopefully, our future. There will always be room on this planet for the genus linum and its many bounties. It is my sincere hope that I have managed to convey even a fraction of my admiration for this building block of humanity, and that my readers may come away with a new interest in fibres of all kinds. Vive le linum.

Commissions Live [3 Slots Open]

For more information, please read the following.

Hello everyone!

After deliberating and planning, I will start accepting requests for commission work as of today and into the foreseeable future. I will be taking a few small steps into this endeavour at first and, ideally, be expanding my offerings going forward.

For the time being, there are limited options that one may select as a basis for commission. This is meant to limit the scope of requests in an attempt to keep lead times short. I'm aware that I have a propensity to become fatigued, distracted, or otherwise sidetracked when it comes to my illustration projects. By shrinking the scope of these commission illustrations my hope is that I can finish them quickly and with relative ease. That being said, I've made a few caveats and exceptions to those interested [The caveat is basically always 'Just ask me about it and we'll work something out. Maybe.']. With that out of the way, let's move on.

Commission Info

As mentioned, what I will be offering with this first round of commissions will be limited. They'll be centred around the premise of 'Single Character Illustrations' offered at various tiers of quality. This is standard practice from my experience, but I don't often operate in this regard because I find it limiting. However, that's kind of the point this time around!

No fussing around with details. The client sends me a reference of a character they want drawn [Visual preferred, but written isn't off the table], along with the tier/price point/level of quality they desire. A pose, action, idea, or concept to go along with the character is heavily advised unless the client wants to give me creative liberty with the project.

As mentioned in the references, there might be an idea or part of the illustration the client desires or is curious about. Feel free to enquire as the worst that will happen is I say, "Nah."

Slots are open on a first come, first serve basis. Work will be done in batches until all previous commissions are complete. I'll make posts to let folks know when slots are closed and when they reopen.

Stipulations and Boundaries

I will not draw NSFW content.

An illustration may be revealing or somewhat risque, but I will not be drawing any characters in the nude or involved in indecent situations.

If you're curious about what things I'm willing to create, the best way to find out is to scroll through my posts. Otherwise, consult this helpful list that has most [I think] of the things I generally draw:

Girls

Furries / Scalies

Monsters

Fantasy Stuff

Fanart

Cool Outfits

If you're curious about what things I might be willing to create, consult this secondary list of things that I do not draw regularly, but have no qualms about drawing:

dudes

flowers? trees?

fish

animals in general

uuuuuh food

man idk just like request something normal please

If you're curious about what things I'm NOT willing to create, the best way to find out is ask. Better yet, ask yourself first. "Would this artist find drawing [blank] weird?" if you answered yes or even hesitated, you're probably right. I am a prudish individual and I do not enjoy drawing things for capital to begin with.

Payment

Payment will be done through Paypal or Ko-Fi and discussed in detail on a client by client basis.

Paypal is preferred as Ko-Fi assumes that if I get paid I will FOR SURE get your commission done. This is not my preferred method of payment. I strive to make sure the client is content with the end product before I accept payment, ergo payment shall be processed at the end of our transaction. The client receives the final, full quality, render of their requested work and I am paid in full.

How To Contact Me

Please contact on Tumblr via messaging as I will not be publicly distributing my methods of interaction [IM/E-Mail]. I can also be reached at my Twitter, @TheToothyTerror if such an avenue is more convenient.

Thanks for reading and please reblog / share this post because wow man I'm really stupid broke.

The Emergence of Private Health within the UK: A Threat to the NHS

The United Kingdom and it are still most associated with the National Health Service (NHS), a publicly funded state health service providing free-at-the-point-of-use medical care for all of the public and members of the people and residents of the country. Yet in more recent times, there has been a trend in the emergence of private healthcare in the UK. This is being fueled by a range of factors, including several-hour wait times for NHS treatment, the need for increased control and tailor-made treatment, and lowering costs of private health insurance. Here, we shall discuss the expanding role of private healthcare in the UK, its pros and cons, and how it will shape the future of the healthcare sector.

The Current State of the NHS

The 1948 NHS has been the cornerstone of British life, offering comprehensive health care services paid for through taxation. The system has, however, been under extreme pressure in recent years. Demands for increased growth, an ageing population, and budget pressures have stretched NHS resources. Patients can, therefore, expect to wait for extended periods to have routine procedures, specialist consultations, and even emergency treatment.

According to the most recent figures, the NHS waiting list for non-emergency hospital treatment in England has reached record levels, with millions of patients waiting for operations and consultations. The COVID-19 pandemic has added to this backlog further, placing the healthcare system under unprecedented strain. Under such conditions, private healthcare is becoming more and more of an option for many to have access to instant and effective medical treatment.

The Attraction of Private Healthcare

Private healthcare in the UK has a myriad of benefits that are ever more making it the most preferred type of care for patients. The most significant benefit is reducing waiting times. Private hospitals and clinics comparatively possess shorter waiting lists for consultation, diagnostic tests, and surgery, and this implies that patients can get the treatment earlier than they would if they opted for the NHS.

One important benefit of private healthcare is the amount of personal care and attention devoted to patients. Private healthcare staff are more likely to provide more convenient appointment times, extended consultations, and more autonomy over specialist and treatment options. Personalization has the potential to deliver a better patient experience and, in some instances, better health outcomes.

Private medical centres are also supposed to be well equipped with the new era of technology and more luxurious facilities in an attempt to offer a comfortable and convenient experience to patients. Private hospitals also include private rooms, fine dining, and other luxurious facilities, making hospitalization cosy.

The Role of Private Health Insurance

Private health in the UK is also following the trend of direct correlation with increased availability and affordability of private health insurance. Firms in some firms offer private health insurance as an incentive to the employees, and it increases the availability and affordability of private health insurance to the people. People also buy private health insurance policies from medical care providers at varying rates with different budgets and requirements of healthcare.

Private health insurance will typically cover private medical care, such as consultations, investigations, surgery, and in-patient hospital stays. Other coverages are usually included with some policies, such as the use of counselling for mental illness, physiotherapy, and complementary treatments. Private healthcare insurance is optional for those who are financially stable to pay for and provides them with security and comfort that they will receive proper care without being subjected to the waiting list, which is what occurs under the NHS.

Disadvantages and Criticisms of Private Healthcare

Private healthcare, although much more beneficial than public healthcare in many ways, is far from perfect and indeed criticized. Among its big issues is a fear of the two-tier health care system where individuals who can receive private health care are treated immediately and receive better treatment. In contrast, the others that go to the NHS have to wait and receive inferior treatment. This inequality is a concern about the equity and accessibility of UK health care.

The second type of resistance to private healthcare is the expense. Even with private health insurance, which aims to make private treatment more affordable, most families and individuals cannot afford private care, especially those who earn modest incomes. The expense of private treatment also becomes astronomically high for the uninsured, and that is a matter of the economic burden on the patients.

There are also worries about the effect private healthcare has on the NHS. Some individuals believe that more private healthcare will lead to a brain drain as expert health professionals are sucked out of the NHS to work in the private sector. This will also cost the NHS more and compound the problems.

The Future of Private Healthcare in the UK

The direction of the future of private healthcare in the UK will be shaped by vast amounts of government policy, popular opinion, and changing pressures of the public. As long as the NHS continues to experience growing challenges, private healthcare could be expected to increasingly assume a growing role in Britain's burden of health.

It could be one of the trends where more blending of the public and private healthcare centres takes place. There is the argument that others have raised that collaboration between the NHS and private health companies will decrease the pressure on the NHS by taking some of the procedures and treatments to the private sector. It would be one way of minimizing waiting lists along with increasing access to treatment for NHS patients, and raising revenues for private providers.

Another option is private health insurance coverage for an extended period. With an increasing number of companies providing private health insurance as a company benefit and people becoming more aware of the benefits of private care, there will be greater demand for private health insurance. This would make it cheaper and more available, and private health care would be affordable for more people.

Conclusion

More private healthcare in the UK is a response to the increased demand for quality, timely, and personalized medical services. Though the NHS is a highly important organization, due to the challenges it is facing, everyone has resorted to other ways of receiving services via private healthcare. With private health insurance becoming the trend and more public-private integration for healthcare delivery in the pipeline, private healthcare will play a larger dominant role in the future of the UK's healthcare system.

Challenges and issues with private healthcare, however, such as fairness and access, must be addressed. With its complex health care system, the solution for balancing UK residents' private and public care will be on the top of to-do lists to make them all have satisfactory access to what they require. Regardless of what more integration, insurance schemes, or other advancements are created, the future of the UK's healthcare will probably be a combination of both public and private solutions with which to care for the nation's diverse populations' needs.

The Importance of Land Clearing Services

1. Safety First

The first on the list of why a person should hire a professional service provider in land clearing is safety. Obstacles such as trees, stumps and undulating ground present a real threat in the construction process. Removing the vegetation reduces the possibility of accidents within the compound hence making the area safer for the people working there and future development.

2. Increase Land Usability

Silvicultural activities make the land available for use in different ways. It is very important to hire professional clearing services to prepare the land for construction of a residential home, to expand agricultural land or construct a commercial building.

3. Ecosystem and Aesthetics Advantages

If land is left idle it becomes infested with pests and undesirable vegetation gains a foothold. Residential lot clearing is important in preserving the ecological balance of the environment and the soil health as well as making the compound beautiful. A property, which is cleared and graded, is visually appealing and will not require as much work in the future as one might think.

Why Hire Professional Land Clearing Contractors?

1. Expert Tools and Knowledge

2. Local Regulatory Compliance

These regulations are familiar to professional contractors who guarantee the clearing process complies with regional and federal standards to avoid fines or project slowdowns.

An open space is more appealing to buyers, builders, and developers due to the following reasons. Besides, it provides more possibilities for landscaping and other improvements of the appearance of the territory.

Lot Clearing and Grading in Whiteville

Lot clearing and grading are some of the most important processes that need to be completed for any land development. Where clearing involves the removal of such things as trees and shrubs, grading involves making the land flat and free from water loggings. Here’s why grading is essential:

1. Preventing Drainage Issues

Grading contributes to the process of avoiding water accumulation near the base of a structure, which results in erosion and flooding or in the long run, structure weakening. Residential grading, in particular, carefully manages the presence of water, ensuring it is redirected away from structures themselves as well as from the buildings constructed on the land.

2. Erosion Control

Other benefits of grading include; The grading also plays the role of checking on soil erosion; this is especially in the event that the land holding is inclined. When designing the property, grading work helps avoid erosion that is not only dangerous for constructions but also negative for the environment.

((WARNING: pedantic rant ahead. Press J to skip this post if you don't want to see me ramble.))

Okay, FIRST OF ALL, 'Two Towers' is NOT a sequel, it's part two of a trilogy AND it was filmed at the same time as the other two parts. And its literary source material wasn't a "sequel" either.

A sequel is what happens when you've made a thing, it's good and people like it, so you decide to make another thing. It might end up being the second part in a continued series, if people want more after that, but it's not MEANT to set up future parts (although canny creators might put in seeds they can develop in further installments, if those end up happening). A sequel is its own complete story, with some connection to the story an came before it.

'Empire Strikes Back' might or might not count as a sequel, depending on whether it was made with the HOPE of doing a third movie, or the INTENTION of doing a third movie (and knowing it might not happen). But personally, since it's these days mostly considered "part two of a trilogy", I'd reject it from the classification of "sequel" under grounds of "ambiguous whether it belongs here or not, but unambiguous that it can be better defined as something else".

Also, there's the phrasing of the question "which is the best sequel". Does that mean "of these sequels, which is the best movie"? Or does it mean "of these movies, which is the best sequel"? Because "best movie" gets judged on, well, things people have been writing about for a LOT of years; but "doing a good job as a sequel" means that it takes something from the first part, expands on it, doesn't throw away everything that had happened, gives a new adventure or a new perspective or both; DOESN'T require encyclopedic knowledge of the first part, at most a vague familiarity.

I've only definitely seen five of the listed movies: Empire Strikes Back, Addams Family Values, Two Towers, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and Evil Dead 2. I might have seen Shrek 2, but if so it wasn't something I sought out specifically, maybe playing on a screen in a waiting room, or someone put it on at a movie night and I had nothing better to do; either way, I have insufficient knowledge of that movie to rank it. Of the other five, TT is the best movie, but it's not a sequel so shall receive no further consideration. GotG2, I had to consciously think just now what it was about; I remember finding it enjoyable, but it wasn't MEMORABLE, so it's out of the running. ESB was good, and I think it works well as a sequel, I'm just not sure if it IS a sequel or rather part two of a trilogy. AFV was a good movie and a good sequel. ED2 was a good movie, but I'm also not sure if it counts as a sequel.

So that leaves me with three movies. Addams Family Values wins "best job as a sequel" by virtue of "I'm not sure the other two count as sequels". But putting aside that factor... ED2 doesn't follow or continue anything from the first Evil Dead movie, so that's out of the running. And I genuinely can't look at ESB strictly in its relation to A New Hope, because I can't put "the entire rest of Star Wars" out of my mind, just like it's hard to consider it as a MOVIE instead of "what cool things it brought to the Star Wars sandbox to play with".

When it comes to the movies which I haven't seen... from what I've picked up, Princess Diaries 2 or Terminator 2 would be considered the best.
