Happy 11/11 everyone!!!

It's 11-11-24 today!!!

First, thank you to all veterans who have put their lives into protecting us. We love you all so dearly and thank you for your service. Without you, I am unsure of how our lives would be today.

Secondly, as today is quite literally an angel number, I will put a lot of effort into shifting today.

I woke up unable to breathe and couldn't stop coughing, so any of my plans for the day were put on hold as I rested to get back to my original self.

So now I sit here typing this while cuddled into soft blankets and plushies with some subliminals playing in the background.

I will be finishing my MPHFPC script while watching the movie and rereading some of the books, I am making a big change to my script which I am excited about so hopefully I can keep my motivation up!

I hope all of you have a lovely day and happy shifting to you all <3

Finally finishing the first Elric of Melniboné book, and I have made some notes on how disability is treated in it. Surprisingly, not as bad as I would have expected, which is cool.

I wasn't made aware of this update until I saw posts about it on here because god forbid they give a notification when there's a big update like... getting rid of activities, groups... EVEN THE EDITOR CHAT.

BRO. I used that shit to take notes about my stuff. Why would you get RID OF THAT.

I don't know if the comments are safe from the purge but if not you guys are going to have to communicate there lmao (I say 'you guys' because I don't have people to talk to on Quotev anymore, which doesn't matter to me).

Anyway, I'm moving to Ao3 to write my stuff. If you can't tell, this Tumblr account isn't new at all, so is my Ao3 account. Honestly, writing there makes me feel more professional for no reason.

Oh Food Jesus... I'll miss ya buddy.

Hello to everyone else who's migrating to Tumblr like a flock of birds. Hello, fellow birds (because my name's Crow ahahaha... ha... I'm not sorry).

You cannot resist the whole of the military industrial complex, especially the US American sector, without holding compassion and sympathy for veterans.

[televinita]

the HELL do you mean I have work in the morning still

[liberalsarecool]

Damn, Republicans are petty assholes.

Jimmy Carter deserves respect. Veterans deserve respect.

A virtuous person like Carter really puts the sick mind and vile behavior of Trump in perspective.

Mike Johnson shredding decorum and precedent for a felon rapist says it all.

Dear President Biden and Vice President Harris, We are 99 American physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, and midwives who have volunteered in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. Combined, we spent 254 weeks volunteering in Gaza’s hospitals and clinics. We worked with various nongovernmental organizations and the World Health Organization in hospitals and clinics throughout the Strip. In addition to our medical and surgical expertise, many of us have a public health background, as well as experience working in humanitarian and conflict zones, including Ukraine during the brutal Russian invasion. Some of us are veterans and reservists. We are a multifaith and multiethnic group. None of us support the horrors committed on October 7 by Palestinian armed groups and individuals in Israel.

We are among the only neutral observers who have been permitted to enter the Gaza Strip since October 7. Given our broad expertise and direct experience of working throughout Gaza we are uniquely positioned to comment on several matters of importance to our government as it decides whether to continue supporting Israel’s attack on, and siege of, the Gaza Strip. Specifically, we believe we are well positioned to comment on the massive human toll from Israel’s attack on Gaza, especially the toll it has taken on women and children.

This letter and the appendix show probative evidence that the human toll in Gaza since October is far higher than is understood in the United States. It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population. Our government must act immediately to prevent an even worse catastrophe than what has already befallen the people of Gaza and Israel. A ceasefire must be imposed on the warring parties by withholding military support for Israel and supporting an international arms embargo on Israel and all Palestinian armed groups. We believe our government is obligated to do this, both under American law and International Humanitarian Law. We also believe it is the right thing to do.

With only marginal exceptions, everyone in Gaza is sick, injured, or both. This includes every national aid worker, every international volunteer, and probably every Israeli hostage: every man, woman, and child. While working in Gaza we saw widespread malnutrition in our patients and our Palestinian healthcare colleagues. Every one of us lost weight rapidly in Gaza despite having privileged access to food and having taken our own supplementary nutrient-dense food with us. We have photographic evidence of life-threatening malnutrition in our patients, especially children, that we are eager to share with you. Virtually every child under the age of five whom we encountered, both inside and outside of the hospital, had both a cough and watery diarrhea. We found cases of jaundice (indicating hepatitis A infection under such conditions) in nearly every room of the hospitals in which we served, and in many of our healthcare colleagues in Gaza. An astonishingly high percentage of our surgical incisions became infected from the combination of malnutrition, impossible operating conditions, lack of basic sanitation supplies such as soap, and lack of surgical supplies and medications, including antibiotics. Malnutrition led to widespread spontaneous abortions, underweight newborns, and an inability of new mothers to breastfeed. This left their newborns at high risk of death given the lack of access to potable water anywhere in Gaza. Many of those infants died. In Gaza we watched malnourished mothers feed their underweight newborns infant formula made with poisonous water. We can never forget that the world abandoned these innocent women and babies. We urge you to realize that epidemics are raging in Gaza. Israel’s continued, repeated displacement of the malnourished and sick population of Gaza, half of whom are children, to areas without running water or even toilets available is absolutely shocking. It was and remains guaranteed to result in widespread death from viral and bacterial diarrheal diseases and pneumonias, particularly in children under the age of five. Indeed, even the dreaded polio virus has reemerged in Gaza due to a combination of systematic destruction of the sanitation infrastructure, widespread malnutrition weakening immune systems, and young children having missed routine vaccinations for nearly an entire year. We worry that unknown thousands have already died from the lethal combination of malnutrition and disease, and that tens of thousands more will die in the coming months, especially with the onset of the winter rains in Gaza. Most of them will be young children. Children are universally considered innocents in armed conflict. However, every single signatory to this letter saw children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us who worked in an emergency, intensive care, or surgical setting treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head or chest on a regular or even a daily basis. It is impossible that such widespread shooting of young children throughout Gaza, sustained over the course of an entire year is accidental or unknown to the highest Israeli civilian and military authorities.
