#garry's mod#gmod#source engine#half life 2#deathmatch#remaster#hearted#i covered this map 2 years ago (to the day) in 2022! but it's so good that i wanted to give it another pass#the cozy winter atmosphere is still there and i still very much love this map#the gigantic piles of powder surrounding buses parked in the middle of the street. flanked by cars covered up to the wing mirrors in snow#there is a part of me that finds joy in the idea of being cataclysmically “snowed in” despite the logistical headaches that come with it#it's the part of me that also found joy in pandemic lockdowns that i had to downplay. in being *expected* to stay at home no matter what#i think i selfishly want more of that. which is why i still feel more excitement than annoyance in the preparation for a winter storm#it does not help that i worked customer service through the beginnings of the pandemic & never really had the experience people lamented#anyway! i'm a winter dude and i love this map a lot

the next time Mobius is on screen, he will probably be bathed in green & gold lighting, have longer hair, & there will be a subtle cinematic shot (an echo, a reflection, a radio, something)letting the audience know AGAIN that Loki is there watching over him & I’m not prepared & neither are you—
#are yall prepared??? god I’m literally READY but also NOT#I don’t go to mcu releases anymore LMAO sorry since the pandemic but I swear if it’s leaked and confirmed to be in a movie???#BUYING A TICKET FOR THE NEXT SHOWING#he might NOT have longer hair but#I’ve seen the footage LMAO I am manifesting it because those edits looked GOOD#lokius#mobius#loki season 2#loki show#loki x mobius#loki spoilers#mcu loki#mobius m mobius#loki laufeyson#loki

It’s been nearly three months since the U.S. government announced an outbreak of the bird flu virus on dairy farms. The World Health Organization considers the virus a public health concern because of its potential to cause a pandemic, yet the U.S. has tested only about 45 people across the country. “We’re flying blind,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health. With so few tests run, she said, it’s impossible to know how many farmworkers have been infected, or how serious the disease is. A lack of testing means the country might not notice if the virus begins to spread between people — the gateway to another pandemic. “We’d like to be doing more testing. There’s no doubt about that,” said Nirav Shah, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC’s bird flu test is the only one the Food and Drug Administration has authorized for use right now. Shah said the agency has distributed these tests to about 100 public health labs in states. “We’ve got roughly a million available now,” he said, “and expect 1.2 million more in the next two months.” But Nuzzo and other researchers are concerned because the CDC and public health labs aren’t generally where doctors order tests from. That job tends to be done by major clinical laboratories run by companies and universities, which lack authorization for bird flu testing.

It's not just the US. We know cattle in the US have been infected with H5N1. We've had this version of bird flu in Europe longer than the US, but our cattle remain virus-free?

The funniest thing about the Pixie Hollow books is how often the characters have to navigate assumptions that they've contracted some horrible fantasy disease. Every time someone starts feeling a little tired or insecure, everyone else immediately assumes they have "fairy pox" or "fairy flu" or "fairy distemper" or some other terrible illness with pandemic potential. There are like 3 different scenes where someone is like "I hope Clarion doesn't quarantine me because she thinks I have distemper," and it's like, what horrors have you people lived through where you're viewing every bout of exhaustion through the lens of a pandemic threat
#I think Tink Fira and maybe that one scout fairy are accused of having fairy distemper at one point?#fairy flu is a plot point in a couple of the books actually#anyway I just think it's really funny. why is Never Land more prepared for a pandemic than the CDC#pixie hollow#fairy haven

I think more people should be aware of, and talking about, the uptick in anti-mask policies being proposed/passed (or that already existed but rarely enforced until more recently) that have been popping up lately in several states.
Both because of the public health risks it sets us up for and because it’s being used as a way to further punish protesters. Not to mention the encroachment on our right to privacy in the ever increasing surveillance state we live in.
#us politics#north carolina#ohio#new york#every time I think about how public health has been politicized to the point that we’re LESS prepared for the next pandemic#than we were for this one I go a little insane#(btw this isn’t meant to be shamey if you haven’t heard about it#especially w it getting less news coverage than it should; I’m just trying to bring some awareness)

Maybe it’s just my feed but the only place I’m seeing anything about h5n1 is twitter. PAY ATTENTION TO IT!!! Prepare NOW! not when everyone starts to hear about it, not when everyone starts to care, not when the CDC finally admits it’s an issue (if they ever do). Prepare right now. While you have the chance. I am talking to everyone in my life about masks and precautions. I was hesitant about it before bc fear of confrontation but I’m cracking down now. I am going to stock up on essentials. My list right now is non-perishable foods, masks, bottled water, first aid kits, basic medications, and other essentials I can think of. I am going to be incredibly diligent about hygiene and selective about where I go in public. This is not me trying to fear monger. I would rather be paranoid and alive than dismissive and dead. This has high potential to be so so so serious. Please treat it as such.

#before the pandemic i sold a lot of original paintings and such at conventions and shows in my area#well some locals at a gathering today kindly informed me someone has been selling copies of my plague doctor piece#and some of my mini prints and presenting them as their own same with stickers#its not only ai we gotta worry about now even the damn locals are doing this shit#i got a show in may coming around the corner and I'm thinking i might not even sell paintings and stuff anymore if this is going to happen#im a creator that loves collaboration and thinks art should be free to enjoy#if this person approached and asked if they could sell my work i wouldn't give a fuck personally provided they give me credit and or a link#back to my stuff hell if people want to print my work if they cant afford it go for it#but fuck dude you don't just claim you did all that work as if it was yours#this was disheartening news#and several other local artists found out too at this venue that their work had been turned into stickers that vendors bought off amazon#ill hop off the soap box in a minute#still scrambling to get kofi stuff set and donation links prepared#thanks for your patience everyone#im getting out of a depressive funk too with what happened at my work place#and im gonna be speaking with a legal aid rep next week#magenta is my safe word for venting

So I hit my 700th edit for the WHA wiki today, because I am a totally normal person
#For the record I have been there for. 27 days.#That makes an average of 26 edits a day which is even more terrifying because I definitely was not updating every day#Also this is for the Telepedia Wiki not the Fandom one#Anyway you should check it out!#In maybe a week because the website cache is super slow for some reason when you're not logged in#But I'm having fun#The nice thing about working on a wiki where there's actually other people doing stuff#Is that they can do the boring stuff like character bios and etc while I run around doing the fun stuff like pages on animals and plants#Anyway I was working on the Eldroxen page which are the big fluffy ox from the Silver Eve Procession#And it was so funny collecting info on them from the main series and then checking Kitchen real quick and SURPRISE! THEY'RE EATING IT!#I mean I should have expected this after having watched Dungeon Meshi and yet~~~#Also funny was that I copy+pasted the page coding for one the (food) animals as a template for this giant Mole-worm beast page but#forgot to remove the line about it being for food and afterwards had a laugh and then removed it#But now I'm like. They probably WOULD eat that sucker. Giant mole worm/snake/dragon thing? That'd feed a whole town!#Qifrey could have an entire audience watching how he'd prepare and season it#Anyway if you've been wondering where I've been that's it#Also funny story: during the Covid pandemic I stayed employed when my coworkers got let go because they needed me to catalogue an entire#new set of guided reading books; and have these sets have a digital checkout instead of the old-school card catalog we were literally still#using in 2020. Anyway I went all out with the organization of the books and the boxes and even made a reference binder for the books#via subject so teachers/tutors could find specific subjects and reading levels etc#(I'd have done a digital way to search for results but honestly half the teachers couldn't figure out how to sign in to the laptop. So.)#Anyway. Only a handful of teachers actually used these books and two years later the school switched to a new reading program#that came with its own set of books and lessons so this 10k reading set was essentially unneeded (and my dear coworkers never got rehired)#Anyway I learned last week that they're clearing out that room and all of those barely-used books are getting thrown out 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃#Isn't that funny#Literally everything is just sandcastles built in the surf#I'm so glad I already accepted this during my pumpkin carving years because otherwise I think I'd be upset#Anyway I'm gonna go play my spooky fishing game

Aids Pandemic hits the Twin Peak's Bar
9/29/1990 Saturday
Drove to San Fransisco. Ran into Dick. He said that a mutual bar tender friend from Twin Peaks Bar now dies of Aids. His legs are paralyzed. He is in a hospital bed in the living room of his parent's house. His Mom and sister are there. And the blonde bomb shell bar tender takes AZT. 4th bar tender there to go. He will never be back. terminal.
The paper on 9/28/1990 said the 80's were nothing. We are in for an Aids pandemic 10 times what we have seen.
I said to Cliff last night that our little core of (gay) folks in Modesto waits. If the worst hits, we can train to support others. The paper says you change your (sexual) habits or you die.

Oh for fuck’s sake. I’m no epidemiologist but come next flu season, this shit will be so widespread (already right now HPAI can be considered a pandemic in various nonhuman animals) that when other highly infectious viruses coinfect humans with H5N1, possible antigenic shift could allow for effective human-human spread. H5N1 has neurological symptoms and a 50% mortality rate. We do not want this virus to excel at human-human transmission. It’s already in the wastewater and your food. Regardless of human transmission cases, this is already a disaster for wildlife and farmed animals. Keep your cats indoors. Do not consume raw milk or undercooked meat. Wear PPE if you are in contact with farmed animals.
#hpai#h5n1#bird flu#avian flu#covid 19#pandemic#I remember when I was scared out of my mind over COVID-19 before it even left Wuhan and so many people slept on it until it reached#their country so I am not going to be reassured by anyone saying it wont be a big deal this time around#I’m losing sleep over this we are not prepared for another pandemic. there might be vaccines but now the antivaxx culture is out of control#50% mortality will rock this world (negative)#ven talks

went to my first con in 4 years on Friday to meet Kaiji Tang and got a Dazai autograph + video recording of him reading to me. He was the sweetest person (as I knew he would be) and interacting with him was lovely, but also at the same time oh boy it sure was an extremely stressful, ugly wake-up call of what it feels like to live in a world now where everyone around you has blissfully moved on from covid and can enjoy things normally and happily, while you'll forever be trapped in a hellscape of perpetual fear 🫠🫠🫠
#like. to be clear this was the first time i've been literally anywhere but doctor's appointments in 4 years#not just because of the pandemic but because of mental and physical exhaustion#so it was a Big Mistake to go from 0 to 100 and not ease myself into it at all#but at the same time........ it was a fucking hellscape of people. i don't think any kind of buildup could have prepared me for it at all.#it was so much less crowded in 2020 (ironically the very last place i ever went; literally on the BRINK of covid)#and now idk what it's become. a monster con. it was unbelievable.#but i was only there for less than an hour but i was so so so terrified that i very nearly left before even seeing him#i couldn't even fully enjoy meeting him as kind as he was because i was so anxious and distracted#and when i got back to the car i just fucking cried.........#the last five days i've just been sitting in fear waiting to feel Any sort of symptoms#i wore two masks and again was barely there for long but Still#and everyone around me was so chill as if everything was normal and No One was wearing a mask :))))) it's not fucking fair man :)))))#insert the 'they don't know' meme; they don't know how much covid can destroy your body even if you get a 'mild' case#i would never want to be that ignorant even if i wasn't disabled and didn't have reason to worry (but everyone has reason to worry!!!)#but also. ignorance is bliss and it just really fucking sucks man.#it really fucking sucks. why do they get to be happy and enjoying life and not /me?/#why can't i do just ONE thing for myself without having it tainted by anxiety and fear that i'm going to die horribly???#while they get to do fucking EVERYTHING???#if they all just wore masks we could all enjoy ourselves much more comfortably than some of us are now#but no that's too much to ask from people 🙃🙃🙃#shit sucks man. the world sucks. something that should be a happy memory for me was simultaneously the most awful experience#and i don't know how to feel about it now that it's over#he knew that i was afraid and at the end he told me that he hoped to see me again at another event someday#and that made me cry because it felt like dazai telling me to live. and i want to. but i don't know how to when the world is like this now.#i desperately want to be able to see him again someday but right now after how terrifying that was i never want to go to a con ever again..#i wanted to ask him things about the manga and about dazai but i was being rushed and stressed so i couldn't ugh#(and doing that is hard enough anyway cause disability and i have to talk with my phone bahhhh)#at least i was able to give him my note *sigh*

promised myself that i'm gonna fix up my notes from last sy so i can share it with upcoming humss students but i also keep going 'but what's the point'
#there were already so many from years ago who have posted and shared theirs#except theirs weren't as detailed; just the general summary for each topic#and mine are more detailed and i'm also contemplating translating them to tagalog#like this could serve as y'know. notes they could refer to to prepare themselves for the upcoming topics they'd tackle#but also...would i be robbing them of the experience to learn things on the pace their own teachers are setting?#in my own experience i only sought notes in the first few weeks of classes to ease myself into each subs and to learn what i'd be-#getting myself into#but i had fun just anticipating the upcoming topics without knowing anything about them#idk...is this just the result of me constantly mourning the state of the educational system in terms of the garbage curriculum and the-#general unpreparedness of most youths in choosing their tracks especially after the setback that the pandemic has brought on that are still#not given attention to by this garbage administration#combine that with the study of humanities & social science being looked down/underestimated by most filipinos#no wonder they're picking the stupidest and useless politicians & public servants. no wonder they're not paying much attention to the-#credentials of people they're electing to lead the country. ngayon letche-letche HGGSGAHSHAJS#anyway so many of the humss students i know chose careers that aren't consistent with their track and it's sad to see. sayang 2 years my-#loves :')#sigh......gonna do it now anyway#brain be very scattered rn. hate that <3#catdrain#rambles#non fandom

learnt on radiolab this morning that coldblooded animals cant get fevers which if i had given it 5 seconds of thought i could have figured out on my own however i didnt so that throws a fucking wrench in all of my sickfic doesnt it
#it doesnt really matter though bc my timelords can still do whatever the plot needs them to do#which is exactly canon i think#thats a really fun sorta meta canon trait actually that fits#it was a very interesting episode i didnt realise how we just kidna lucked out on not being that threatened by fungi#and how climate change is changing that#MAYBE shouldnt have listened to this right after starting watching the last of us but hey what can you do#the episode is called fungus amungus if you wanna look it up#anyway so that means that means that timelrods WOULD be threatened by fungi#like where for us it´s viruses for them maybe thats the main plague threat#and gallifrey is hot right? hot and not very wet. they wouldnt have a lot of funguses there#but maybe when they ventured out suddenly there was a lot on other planets and their bodies just arent prepared#i was writing like post-potd yaz/missy yesterday and thinking about how yaz sorta like when they came home in 12x10#was like maybe a month before lockdown?#they lost the doctor and came home right into a fucking pandemic and yaz lost her mind#like looking for the doctor mustve been like one controllable thing when the entire world became uncontrollable#also a way to get out of the house#shes like im just going for a walk but she just goes to that tardis#anyway but then so i was writing yaz/missy and i had yaz tell her that and missy be like what and yaz was like oh right#you werent on earth then. and then i had yaz ask like you must have seen epidemics#and like have you seen pandemics that spread from planet to planet#and then i realised theres not a lot of that in doctor who? at least not new who idk about old but#theres the girl who waited but there the epidemic or the illness is more of just like a contrivance to create like the actual story right?#about amy and rory and 11#how different would that be now#i expect we might see some epidemic stuff in doctor who in the next like 10 years#HAS there been a pandemic on earth while doctor who was on? like that it couldve been an influence on the stories?#like you can see climate change as an influence all over the last 60 years in the stories periodically#you know what i mean?#i need to watch more classic#anyway im not gonna change the fic ive already written but this is a fun opportunity to change how i write fever in timelords from now on
