"Running in the Columbus Marathon and 1/2 Marathon was the most humbling experience of my life. This was so much more than just another run. I work in patient accounts, so I speak to families every day. I have not experienced the heartache those families have, but I'm so thankful I'm able to run for these kids who cannot."
Amy Goings, Customer Service Representative, Patient Accounts

So. The past week I. Uh. Tried my best to sew a waistcoat, something that I have done more or less successfully before. Unfortunately, I have to be honest here, this one was a mess. From a sewing machine that fights back to multiple mistakes on my part, well, it didn't quite turn out how I wanted :/ BUT. Giving up was not an option and then i found these cool clasps at the market and was like. Maybe these can fix it. This might not be how I hoped it'd turn out but I'm happy enough with it. I'll just have to style it differently than I had planned to.

Just wanted to quickly pop on here and say that I will be working away at those ask-prompt submissions, perhaps slowly but surely. I really really appreciate the submissions though, but I'll definitely need some time to tackle all of them. There may have been a few more than I was initially expecting hehe 😅 all good tho!/gen 🤗✨ I've been in a bit of a funk in terms of drawing turtle stuffs, so I definitely don't mind the challenge 🙌🌟
I'm planning to do something similar to the ✨first one✨ that I did, so I'm pacing myself a little. This is all for fun and I'm doing my best to not stress or worry too much about time. I usually am a little reluctant to do drawing prompts through asks for certain reasons, but I'm making an exception this time around. That being said, prepare yourselves for some sporadic angst and comfort art...~soon-ish~
(:

“FOREVER PUPPY!!”
I was bored and listening to msi so i decided to draw my bf(@reallifemarvbruh :D)as my pet the ranfren way, made him a lil scene puppy. He doesn’t actually have a set sona i dont think..so i usually make up one for him.
Also thought it’d be silly to give him the one and only btd collar! Not gonna give any further context to that..

sometimes i really don't think we've fully absorbed the realization that humans are animals. we keep trying to find new and spectacular ways to delineate between us and them, even as we try to deconstruct the beliefs of past western science
first we were put above other animals, who in the name of science were declared nothing more than organic automatons devoid of personality. today we know this isn't true, that every animal is the culmination of billions of years of chance and choices, and then a lifetime of experience to fine tune the rest.
so the discussion moved to the question: why are we different? breaking ourselves down to try to separate out the True Human Experience. we have tools--but so do other animals. we build homes and cities--likes termites and coral. we are intelligent--but then, what even is intelligence? we have culture--and yet again, so do other animals.
so we venture in vain to other traits. humans must be uniquely violent, destructive, upheaving the ecosystems of the world in a way no other creature has
but hundreds of millions of years ago, photosynthesis evolved and spurred one of the worst extinctions earth has ever seen. a species can encounter a new habitat and spread like wildfire, sometimes as destructive as one as well.
so surely our systems and our hierarchies set us apart in their depth and complexity. but it's myopic, naive even to think that other creatures don't form their own complexities outside our purview. we see our complexity because we are born and raised in it, but it's hardly what makes us different.
and in this journey to find out what makes us so different, instead we've found out the many ways that we are similar. the way our brains are similar to those of other mammals, how our bodies are all stretched out from the same general base tweaked and formed over an inconceivable number of generations. how the further we trace ourselves back, the more and more animals we share ancestors with.
i don't know where I'm going with all this. i think im frustrated with our medicine, how so much of it is grounded not in biology but in our own culture.
when we see a human not performing well, we call them lazy. when it's an animal, then something must be wrong. we understand the physiology of other animals and treat them within those bounds, yet despite what we know about the human body the way we discuss it seems frustrstingly disconnected.
maybe it's because we can talk to each other and so we assume that we can verbalize the problems we're experiencing, but language is a dismal thing to base healthcare on when most of us don't even use the same words to describe things. it's a subjective, moving target, and it assumes that the patient themself knows what's wrong. we rely too much on the ability of a patient to describe what they are experiencing, and not enough on observations of their behaviour.
my dad's shoulder hurts. he dislocated it a while ago, and it never stopped bothering him. but when i watch him he holds both shoulders forward and tense. slouching has for a long time been deemed lazy and improper, but it doesn't line up--the way my father strives for a healthy, active body but can never seem to make it work. the way he loves to be active, the way he wants to exercise, to walk and run, but it seems no matter how hard he tries he can't.
he told me his shoulder hurts, but the more i watched the more i saw that he doesn't move with the relaxed, easy movements that a man who's as active as he is should be. a human is an animal that loves to walk, and in many ways we've developed anatomy to this end, from the balanced efficiency of our bipedal forms to the way we utilize momentum as the driving force of our movement. we have science that says all this, so why does this not seem to hold true for some people? and why are we looking at them and calling them lazy? why aren't we looking for something gone awry, like the way we would a dog with a limp? we wouldn't blame the dog for not standing up the way a dog should, so why does this not hold true for humans?
