Forgive me for venting here, but one of the things that irritates me the most about the media coverage of the Olympics is how it overlooks all the medalists (and athletes) from countries that don't have as much geopolitical influence/affluence.
Wouldn't it be great to see more recognition and support given to athletes such as the gold medalist Thea LaFond, who won Dominica's first-ever medal in the triple jump? Or what about Julien Alfred, who won Saint Lucia's first-ever medal in the 200m? Or Daniel Varela de Pina who won Cape Verde's first in the flyweight? Or what about Olympians from places like Mongolia, Jordan, Botswana, Grenada, or Panama? Or what about the Olympians from the Refugee Olympic Team?
So it's disappointing that extraordinary athletes like them (and the history they made) end up being just as overlooked as the countries they're from.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:
Ever since the discovery of whale songs almost 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their lyrics. Are the animals producing complex messages akin toĀ human language? Or sharing simpler pieces of information, likeĀ dancing beesĀ do? Or are they communicating something else we donāt yet understand?
In 2020, a team of marine biologists and computer scientists joined forces to analyze the click-clacking songs of sperm whales, the gray, block-shaped leviathans that swim in most of the worldās oceans. On Tuesday, the scientistsĀ reportedĀ that the whales use a much richer set of sounds than previously known, which they called a āsperm whale phonetic alphabet.ā
People have aĀ pho-ne-tic alphabetĀ too, which we use to produce a practically infinite supply of words. But Shane Gero, a marine biologist at Carleton University in Ottawa and an author of the study, said itās unclear whether sperm whales similarly turn their phonetic sounds into a language.
Since 2005, Dr. Gero and his colleagues have followed a clan of 400 sperm whales around Dominica, an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, eavesdropping on the whales with underwater microphones and tagging some of the animals with sensors.
Sperm whales donāt produce the eerie melodies sung by humpback whales, whichĀ became a sensationĀ in the 1960s. Instead, they rattle off clicks that sound like a cross between Morse code and a creaking door. Sperm whales typically produce pulses of between three and 40 clicks, known as codas. They usually sing these codas while swimming together, raising the possibility that theyāre communicating with one another.
Over the years, Dr. Gero and his colleagues have reviewed thousands of hours of recordings of the undersea noise. It turns out that sperm whale codas fall into distinct types.
All told, the researchers identified 156 different codas, each with distinct combinations of tempo, rhythm, rubato and ornamentation. Dr. Gero said that this variation is strikingly similar to the way humans combine movements in our lips and tongue to produce a set of phonetic sounds.
A single sound like āba,ā or ānaā carries no semantic meaning on its own. But we can combine them into meaningful words like ābanana.ā The researchers raised the possibility that sperm whales might combine features of codas to convey meaning in a similar way.
Other experts said the whale alphabet marked an exciting advance. But they said sperm whale codas might be more akin to music than language.

The Margay: Chapter 1
There Was BogotĆ” That One Time
series masterlist / main masterlist
Summary: Santi ropes Frankie into a trial-run mission that doesn't go to plan but comes with one hell of a consolation prize.
Pairing: Frankie Morales x OFC x Santiago Garcia in this part but only in this part because BogotĆ” was just the once. No age gap.
Word Count: 3.8K
Rating: Explicit 18+/ the beginnings of a threesome, Santi has a filthy mouth, oral over underwear bc Frankieās a tease (f receiving) / Minors DNI
A/N: Hoooly cowww, thank you all so much for the love on Dominica as my first little foray into this world. And a special thank you to everyone who has liked and shared. Your comments (and tags!) have truly given me life.
OFC here is the reader from Dominica, although I may play with future side chapters where I flip to that pov again. No taglist, but I'll mark everything with #ohforficsake. I do hope you enjoy. Edited 11/3 - I've been asked so I will be doing a taglist, drop me a line if you're interested!
āWho the fuck else is out here, Pope?ā
āNo one,ā Santiago sweeps the clearing in a quick circle, butt of his gun still dug into his shoulder, āno one else is supposed to be out here.ā
Things hadnāt gone sideways and he hadnāt called anyone in.
And yet the mark stares back at him through lifeless eyes the same color as the leaflitter he threatens to stain red.
āWell,ā Frankie gestures vaguely where heās knelt down next to the still-warm body. āThis aināt local.ā
The high-caliber bullet that blew out the back of the manās skull is most assuredly not Nicaraguan-made.
āWe have to move, Fish,ā Santi says before letting out a sharp whistle. A signal to the men holding the perimeter to circle up.
āNah, if whoever did this wanted us deadā¦ā He lets the words hang in humid jungle air, propping the brim of his cap up just far enough to swipe damp hair from his forehead. āThe angle of itās weird though,ā Frankie cants big dark eyes up into the trees even though that makes no goddamn sense.
The men have moved in by now and one of them lets out a low hiss.
āEl Caucel.ā
āCrees eso?ā Santiago's gaze cuts towards him and then over at two other men nodding in agreement.
Two more from their team had departed towards the trucks the moment they saw the carnage.
Frankie stands upright with knitted brows before finding Santiagoās gaze.
Heās met with an imperceptible shake of the head.
And so he doesnāt open his mouth again until theyāre back in their hotel room.
_____
āYou got an explanation for that, Pope?ā
āNot a good one.ā Santi sits on the edge of a twin bed and unlaces his boots before toeing them off and flopping backwards.
Frankie stays standing, hands on his hips.
āSomeoneās out there with high-caliber shit we didnāt even have as Deltas and thatās all you have to say.ā
āThatās all I fuckinā know, Fish. Look, at least weāre on the same side, ok? For now weāre on the same side. Fuck, I need a shower.ā
Heās on his feet now. Clearly rattled.
āWhatās El Caucel? A group? Whereād they get that kind of heat?ā
āI donāt know, Fish. I donāt know if El Caucel is one guy or fiveā¦ā
Santi doesnāt realize it but heās pacing the room.
Heās useless like this.
āGo take a fuckinā shower, Pope.ā
āI need a fucking beer.ā
_____
Frankie doesnāt speak again until theyāre both perched on plastic chairs at the back of an open-air bar, cumbia blaring through tired but persistent speakers, waves lapping at the shore nearly on beat.
āI donāt like it, Pope," he mutters after a sip of beer. "I donāt like that people we donāt know, using shit that we donāt have, know the same things we do," each point punctuated by a finger stabbed into the table.
āTheyāre after the same people that we are, Fish. We were fifteen minutes late, more than likely that was our backup. I have a call out to my guy, but heās out of pocket until tomorrow. Can we at least just leave it at that for the night?ā
Somehow Santiagoās nerves arenāt as frayed as they were an hour ago.
āThis isnāt what I signed up for, Pope.ā
āYou signed up to kill bad men and get paid, Fish. A bad man is dead today and I donāt know if you took a look at your bank account, but itās $25K heavier than it was this morning.ā
āWe didnāt pull that trigger.ā
āTake the fuckinā win, Catfish.ā
It's low out of Santiago's mouth. Like an order.
Frankie doesnāt run like this. Not with unknown eyes on them. And he doesnāt take money for jobs he didnāt finish. He agreed not to ask who was bankrolling this little excursion, he trusted Santiās judgment enough for that, but things were starting to fall out of alignment.
The last time that happened they lost someone.
He doesnāt like how fucking cool Santi is right now either.
And Santiago pipes up as though he can hear the gears in Fish's head gnashing against one another. āLook, Fish. Youāve got a cold beer, the Caribbean fuckinā Ocean right there, youāre in a beautiful tropical country instead of freezing your balls off in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere in February..."
"...There are hot girls in this bar.ā
āPope.ā
āDo you trust me, Fish?ā
Dark eyes lock over the table, Frankie searching for something Santi wonāt give away. It takes at least a minute for the tight line of Fishās mouth to soften into his usual pout.
āItās a sea.ā
āWhat?ā Santi swallows a mouthful of beer.
āThe Caribbean Sea.ā
āRight, fuckinā, okay.ā Santi grins. āThe goddamn Caribbean Sea. Just enjoy it, Catfish.ā
Itās not a good enough explanation, not by a fucking long shot, but he hates admitting that Santi is right. For the next few hours, thereās nothing they can do.
And for a moment, Corona and lime on his tongue and the thought of $25K in his bank account makes him ignore the insistent scratching in the back of his brain.
Dark eyes sail over Santiās shoulder and happen to land on a woman reading in the corner, all brown skin and black curls that skim the tops of her shoulders. He can't help but notice the way she's left a few buttons on her linen shirt open.
Can't help but notice the way it allows the curve of one breast to peek out when she reaches for her drink.
āI saw her first.ā Santi knows exactly where heās looking.
āI wouldnāt, actually,ā Frankie attempts to clarify, but his half-hard cock says otherwise.
āI would.ā
āWeāre sharing a room, Pope.ā
āIāll put a sock on the doorknob. Plus there was BogotĆ” that one time,ā Santi arches a brow and grins before draining the rest of his beer.
BogotĆ” that one time and a blonde between the two of them.
Thereās more space than you'd think on a twin bed.
āWith $25K you can get your own goddamn room.ā Fish quips.
BogotĆ” was before his girl. Before his kid.
āSo could you. Honestly. I think you need it, Francisco. Come on, what happens in Nicaraguaā¦ā
āNah, Iāmā¦ā
āYeah, you need it. Iām doinā it.ā
Pope is out of his chair before Fish can bite back.
"Fuckinā idiot," Frankie mutters under his breath and directs his gaze out to sea.
āExcuse me, miss?ā Santiago purrs in Spanish, leaning over the womanās table, his most disarming smile playing on his lips.
She angles huge green eyes up from her book and waits for Santi to continue.
āMy friend over there,ā Santi nods his head in Frankieās direction. āThinks you look like you could use a refill.ā
āYour friend, or you?ā She answers in the same tongue.
Santiās teeth catch on his bottom lip.
āMyee, my uh, my friend.ā Santi slips in English. āMi amigo.ā
Freud would have loved that one.
The woman sets her book aside and reaches for a packet of cigarettes, eyes cutting over to Frankie as she taps the top of the box on the table. He's lit up by red and yellow light and staring out across sand.
Plush lips wrapped around the mouth of his beer bottle, wishing the ocean would come crashing through this fuckinā bar.
āWhatās your friendās name?ā
āFreddie.ā
āTell Freddie Iāll take a gin and soda with lime, but only if he does his dirty work himself and sits down here with me.ā She lights up a cigarette. āI suppose you can stay too.ā
Santi lets out a sharp whistle that has Frankie on higher alert than heād care to admit.
āGin and soda,ā Santi calls over his shoulder. āWhatās your name, sweetheart?ā
āArabela,ā she tosses the packet on top of her book.
āSam,ā Santi offers his hand and she takes it, surprised when Santi presses his lips to her knuckles.
Surprised in a turned-off way.
"What are you reading?"
She lifts the packet of Parliaments so he can glance at the title.
The Living Daylights.
"You like spy novels?"
"I think they're funny."
Frankie appears at last, two fresh beers, one gin, and three shots of tequila balanced easily between two massive hands.
The tequila was an impulse but he needs something stronger than Corona if this is BogotĆ” Round Two.
Which apparently it became the moment Frankie stood up from his seat.
āFreddie, this is Arabela.ā
āMucho gusto.ā Frankieās hand is shy.
All of Frankie is shy.
āI do speak English, if thatās more comfortable.ā
āAn American.ā Santi perks up. āWhere are you from, sweetheart?ā
āFlorida.ā
āAhh, Texas,ā he jabs a thumb towards Frankie and then his own chest āand Miami. What part of Florida?ā
āOrlando.ā
Jesus this is boring.
_____
She actually just showed up here for dinner and a buzz because it was five minutes down the beach from her hotel. A function of convenience, nothing more.
And now with dinner over, she finds herself in need of another gin.
Sheās up at the bar when two more men wander in. Not locals but not uncomfortable here either. Military, past or present, from the sound of their boots on the wood planks.Ā
She quickly steals a glance over her shoulder. Military boys arenāt uncommon down here, and frankly not particularly interesting, but these two arenāt standard issue.
One of them looks like a good time and the other looks like trouble.Ā
Trouble slips into a plastic chair at a table in the corner, choosing the seat that allows him to face the door. Good Time on the other hand is skating dark eyes over her bare legs.
She runs the top of one foot over her calf just for kicks as the bartender hands over fresh gin, and turns to leave the very moment that Good Time sidles up.
God itās too easy.Ā
Sheās not here for this tonight.Ā
But itās been three, or was it four, months and sheās not opposed to it either.
Trouble is heated about something when his friend returns with beers.
Heās cute.Ā
Not in a classically handsome way, his friend has that in spades.
Cocksure, chiseled jaw, perfectly coiffed hair.Ā
No, Trouble is cute in a wound spring kind of way.
The kind of way that looks absolutely beautiful coming wildly undone.
What the fuck is in this gin tonight.Ā
Ten minutes later when Good Time struts over, she decides she definitely isn't opposed.Ā
_____
āWhat are you doing down here, baby girl?ā
āVacation. Just needed a break from work, I guess.ā
Her phone buzzes face-down on the table and Santi Sam laughs.
āI like your phone case,ā he grins as he pulls an identical one from his pocket.
Jesus Christ its a regular fucking Amazon phone case, how do we move this along.
āSo what are you boys up to?ā
Heās probably going to say something stupid likeā¦
āJust appreciating the scenery.ā
Yeah.
She checks her watch. Itās barely gone 19:30, she could still have a perfectly enjoyable night on her own.Ā
Nope.
āLook,ā she leans over the table as Good Time leans in and Trouble leans back, āIām sure that works on someone else, but todayās not your day.ā
Santi braces for the crash.Ā
āYou didnāt come over here just to chat and Iām more than happy to save all of us the grief. Whatās on the table?ā
āBoth of us.āĀ
No one at the table was expecting Frankie to be the one to speak up.
Pope shoots Frankie a look that swims with āhadnāt expected but not opposed...ā
āIf thatās what you want.ā Frankie rumbles, arm draped over the back of his chair.Ā
Trouble.
Something searing and unspoken in a language that Pope doesnāt understand passes between them.
āWhatās your word, sweetheart?ā He continues with the barest nod of his head in her direction, eyes dark. And starved.Ā
Ā āBogotĆ”.ā
She hadnāt overheard them. Thereās no way she could have with the music in this place.
And Frankie throws back his tequila because Frankie's not a man to question the Universe when it hands him something.
āClose the tabs,ā a firm hand squeezes Santiās shoulder as Fish stands. āHers and ours. You. With me.ā
Her with him finds them both outside, her back against the wall of the bar, cigarette nestled between her fingers, Frankie close enough that the heat coming off of him sets her nerves tingling.
He hasnāt laid a hand on her yet. Oneās braced on the wall near her head, the other on his hip.
Heās angled such that she has room to slip away.
āAre you sure you want this? You can leave right now and Iāll get him out of here and weāll pretend we never met.ā
Dark eyes track the fingers that bring the cigarette to her lips.
āIs that what you want?ā
āI didnāt ask about me,ā he rumbles, shifting slightly closer and answering her question with his form.
āRight now,ā she tilts her head to blow smoke away from him, āthereās nothing I want more.ā
Frankie reaches for her cigarette, freely offered, taking a puff before he dashes it out. His fingers move to trail feather-light across her collarbone and over the buttons of her shirt nudging it open a hair.
He glances back up at her eyes and then her lips, plush and parted and waiting, and Frankie decides he can't wait any longer.
He slides the brim of his cap around backwards as his hand slides up her neck, thumb brushing her bottom lip before he replaces it with his mouth.
When Pope breezes through the door, Frankie nabs him by the back of the shirt, tongue never leaving her mouth. He pulls, slamming Santi against the wall before tearing himself away and taking a step back. His thumb comes up to brush the corner of his mouth, surveying them both.
Her dark hair is wild from his greedy fists, lips and chin reddened from his attention.
Santiagoās eyelids are heavy as he stares back.
āYou started without me.ā Itās restrained, darkly matter-of-fact. She reaches her hand over to wrap around the back of Popeās neck and guides him to her, tasting his bottom lip and then his tongue. She slants half-closed eyes over to hold Frankieās stare as she moans into Popeās mouth.
Frankie nearly reaches out to rip her away.
āWe gotta go,ā is what he opts for instead.
_____
Not five minutes later, Santiās back is pressed against the door to their hotel room. Her back is pressed to his chest. And Frankie is on his knees in front of her, nose pressed into the crotch of her cargo shorts.
Santiās lips skate up the side of her neck as his hands splay across her stomach under her shirt, hips already searching for friction. She reaches back intending to slip her phone and card holder out of the back pockets of her shorts out of the need to feel Pope there unimpeded, pressed flush against her. He catches on, taking them both from her hands and placing them on the side table, fingertips bypassing two layers of cotton to slip just under the waistband of her underwear. He pulls her back against him by her hipbones, grinding the hardness in his jeans against the curve of her ass and she whimpers at the way it puts her just out of reach of Frankie's mouth.
Frankie pulls his shirt off up over his head, taking his backwards cap with it, and tossing them both over his shoulder into the room. He stands to occupy her mouth with his own while Pope unbuttons his shirt and lands it over the luggage rack. Santi meets Frankieās eyes over her shoulder and nods. Fish breaks the kiss as Popeās hands pull her against his chest once more.Ā
She leaves one hand on Frankieās cheek and reaches the other up to tangle in Santiagoās hair.Ā
āWeāre gonna take such good care of you, baby,ā Santiago purrs into her ear. āSo fucking beautiful,ā he continues, mouth hot on her neck.
Frankie watches for a moment, taking in the way her plush lips are parted before heās on his knees again.Ā
He needs to be here. Needs to feel the heat of her on his face. Needs to get rid of this fucking fabric.
āIām gonna hold you right here,ā Santiago purrs, skating his nose over the shell of her ear, āand heās gonna eat that pretty pussy of yours,ā one hand rides further up her stomach under her shirt, ābecause thatās his favorite thing in the world.ā
Frankie can feel goosebumps appear where heās stroking his palms over her calves, lips tracing the chill up her thighs.
āWould you like that, pretty girl?ā Santi voice is a heady whisper now, and her head falls back into the crook of his shoulder as she hums in approval.
āNeed to hear you say it, baby,ā Frankie murmurs against her skin.
āGod, yes,ā she moans and immediately Santiās mouth finds hers, fingers making quick work of the button on her shorts. Frankie helps her out of her sandals and Pope unzips her, thumbs sliding the fabric down over her hips, passing the task off to Frankieās fingers to take the rest of the way before moving to do the same with her underwear.
āLeave it,ā Frankie bats Popeās hands away, settling one of his own against the curve of her hip, running the other up over the back of one thigh before breathing heat against her mound. She reflexively cants her hips back against Popeās and he hears the phone in his back pocket knock against the door before itās tossed carelessly along with his wallet to join hers on the side table. She runs one hand over Frankieās forearm, fingers of the other still wound in Santiās hair.
Plush lips trace the seams of her underwear, falling everywhere but where she wants them.
And so she reaches both hands down, tangling fingers in his soft curls, short nails impatiently scraping at his scalp and she feels him smirk against her inner thigh.
Frankie hooks a hand around the back of her knee, guiding her leg over his shoulder.
āHold her, Pope.ā
Santiās arm hooks firmly around her ribcage.
She spares a thought for the use of a call sign before suddenly thereās pressure and damp, open-mouthed heat breathed against the sodden cotton covering her core. The leg thatās still on the ground buckles, but Santiago holds her firm, grinning against her mouth.
They work well together, these two.
Frankieās tongue traces the contours of her folds through the fabric, humming with pleasure at what little taste of her heās able to get at. He can already tell from the feel of this alone that sheās bare below the cotton and his cock jumps at the thought.
And his cock jumps again at the thought of sharing the thought.
āPretty girl?ā Frankie rumbles, teeth catching gently against her mound as he angles his eyes up at her. āIf I were to take these offā¦ā he hooks a finger through the waistband of her panties and lets it snap against her flushed skin.
āI wouldnāt find anything under there, would I?ā
He pauses and Santiago feels her grin against his mouth.
āI donāt think you would, Fish.ā
āNo, I think,ā the bridge of his nose bumps against her clit just so and she groans against Santiās lips. āI think youāre completely bare under here.ā He inhales deep and her fingers tighten in his curls. āAll of that smoothā¦softā¦skin.ā Each word punctuated by a kiss before he sucks, open mouthed against the core of her.
Pope has to hold her again.
Santiās free hand skates up to palm her right shoulder where cream linen has fallen open before slipping his fingers under the strap of her bra, guiding it down her arm.
And Santiagoās not so much in control so much as heās just the one they let speak.
āIs he good, princesa?ā Santi asks against her lips in the lowest register of his voice. āDoes his mouth feel good on you?ā Santiago reaches down over her collarbone, under her shirt and bra to palm her breast, one arm still firmly locked around her ribcage.
āFuck,ā she gasps, āso good.ā
Frankie hums his thanks and moves a little higher to flick his tongue over her clit. He dwells here a while, alternating light and fast with the tip of his tongue with slower, firmer strokes with the flat of it. The cotton of her thong is soaked from her slick and his mouth, and itās not long before she turns her lips away from Santiago, panting and moaning in time with Frankieās flicks.
āSheās close, Fish,ā Pope breathes against her pulse.
āMmm hmm,ā he hums, the rumble of it causing her to buck her hips against him. Frankie lets go from where strong fingers have been digging into the thigh over his shoulder and brings his hand to her hip, both palms now holding her firm against Santi.
She can feel how hard he is through the denim that scratches against the curve of her ass. How it's taking all of Santiago's control not to grind against her there. Not to send her knocking against Fish's teeth.
Neither of these men have actually put skin against anything that matters, and yet sheās falling apart between them.Ā
No sooner does the thought cross her mind than Frankie hooks a thumb into the crotch of her thong, pulling the gusset to the side.
He hums deep and low because he was right.
Heās just about to lick a stripe through her glistening folds when a clattering buzz rings out into the room.
All three of them startle.
Santi spares a glance down at the side table where the offending phone is casting blue light into the room.
His contactās number.
āFuuck,ā he growls, āI gotta get this. Take her to bed, Fish.ā Frankie lets her leg down from his shoulder, āand donāt you fucking dare make her come without me.ā
āNo promises,ā he mumbles between kisses, allowing her to move him until the backs of his knees hit the edge of the bed. He sits and she straddles his hips and he bucks up against her, telegraphing what's on offer.
She presses her forehead against his as he fights to nip at her jaw, cursing softy at the feel of him before her fingers scramble to unzip his jeans.
Frankie grins, arm wrapping tight around her waist, and grinds his crotch against her heat as Santi picks up the phone.
āHey honey, I uh...I canāt really talk right now,ā Santiās voice rings out from the hallway as if he wasnāt half naked and panting.
She props herself up briefly without breaking Frankieās kisses in an effort to quiet the moans that he canāt seem to keep in his throat. He runs his palms down her sides to fit on her hips and pull but sheās strong.Ā
āSantiago? Well, now thatās interesting.ā
āHow...how's that, babe, you called me?ā
āSantiago, this isnāt your phone.ā
And Santiago's blood runs cold.

House MD 2024 headcanon
Wilson divorceposts on reddit and Chase divorceposts on twitter. Taub divorceposts on both.
Cameron has jennifers body girblog lana del rey Pinterest and Amber has gaslight gatekeep girlboss legally blonde that girl Pinterest and their pins have significant overlap but neither of them will ever know
Kutner has a silly YouTube or Twitch channel that has little to do with medicine and his subscribers donāt even know he has a day job
Chase is on TikTok making videos about medicine, Taub sometimes guest stars, and House cyberbullies them into deleting but they doesnāt know it was House until later
House manages to access PPTH official social media accounts and posts insults and Cuddy has to release an apology. He quotes the statement when he refuses to do his clinic hours.
The team has a Discord server or group chat. Cuddy demands to be invited but isnāt. Wilson is in it against his will. Itās not for work; House shitposts on there and Kutner sends memes and cute animal pics. Others only make exasperated replies. Thirteen rarely sends anything but when she does, it is an absolute banger of a phrase or sentence.
House regularly makes funny and embarrassing gifs of everyone and uses them as reaction memes when they least expect it. They donāt know how he gets the videos for the gifs and theyāre constantly paranoid about it
Foreman has a Tesla car and House will not stop making fun of him for it
A child gets sick from his sad beige mom painting his toys white with unsafe paint (he gets better though)
Park is on tumblr and is a swiftie.
Dominica is Instagram famous and goes on a reality show (theres a Real Housewife pun in there somewhere) and when asked talks about how her dysfunctional ex-husband lied to her and House watches every episode sheās in without ever admitting to anyone else he would ever watch reality tv because he is proud of her and happy for her
House tells Thirteen she should do OnlyFans one time. He tells Adams to do it a few times, just for the hell of it since she doesnāt need the money. He tells Cameron to do it all of the time. Cameron pretends to be upset but secretly likes the implication that House considers her sexy.
Masters has a video essay youtube. Itās only sometimes about medicine but she does mention sheās a physician.

Olympic Feels:
History for a lot of countries today! St. Lucia, Dominica, Ireland, Guatemala and the Phillipines won historic golds! The menās pommel horse final was UNREAL! The bronze medal score of 15.3 would definitely be gold worthy in the average final. Loved that podium! A lot of people said it was a bad decision for the US to bring a pommel horse specialist, but they were proven wrong as Stephen (Pommel Horse Guy) hit three for three and walked away with 2 medals. Rhys is otherworldly good!
Katie Ledecky is carrying the entire US swim team on her back and collecting medals left and right! Sheās won the 800 free at four consecutive Olympics.
Womenās vault final was another Simone vs. Rebeca matchup, with Jade Carey taking Bronze. They slayed. I loved the red leo Simone wore!

The "Decatur" and "Dominica" in moderate gale (port view) by Worden Wood (American, 1880ā1943) (Yale Art Gallery)
Happy War of 1812 Wednesday to those who celebrate: here's a painting of a single ship action that is surprisingly overlooked in many accounts of the naval War of 1812, despite being an American victory. HMS Dominica was a small British schooner commanded by Lieutenant Barrett. In the summer of 1813, Dominica encountered the American privateer Decatur off Bermuda.
Rather than try to run, as most privateers would when chased by a Royal Navy vessel, Decatur's commander decided he would engage. He was Dominique Diron, an experienced French privateersman, as bold as he was cocky. The two engaged in a fierce, close-quarters action, and by the end 'not more than three men' in fighting shape were left on the British schooner. Her lieutenant was killed and the midshipman next in command, Nichols, was badly wounded. The losses on board were so horrific, and the command team so thoroughly destroyed, that the crew had not even managed to throw their secret signal code book overboard before capture. Charles Simpson, a British official who worked to secure parole for Nichols and the surviving crewmen, blamed Lieutenant Barrett's inexperience with schooners (coupled with Diron's long privateering experience) for the embarrassing defeat.
ā Nicholas James Kaizer, Revenge in the Name of Honour: The Royal Navyās Quest for Vengeance in the Single Ship Actions of the War of 1812
I have not been able to find much more information about Captain Diron, despite the wonderful description of him "as bold as he was cocky." The battle between Dominica and Decatur is also described in the 1907 book The Free Lances:Ā Stories of the Sea Fighters of All Nations in Their Long Cruising and Desperate Battling for Honor and Treasure by Captain Jack Brand (Google Books), which confirms that Diron was basically a Freelance Professional British-Hater:
A French-American privateer captain was the hero of another fight which was one of the most ferocious actions on the high seas, the loss in killed and wounded being greater than in eight of the famous sloop-of-war duels in which the American navy was so successful in this war. [...] Captain Diron himself was a noted privateer who had enjoyed a brilliant and successful career as a French privateer during the long wars with England, and who found the American service extremely congenial.

First page of my Video game Doujin webomic prologue redone
I decided that starting off with the grimdark stuff was too bold.
So here's some exposition and worldbuilding for Pixel City.
Transcript:
Video game game characters are just like us. They use public transportation.
Sign Language TL: Heyy (Misread as Love-ya!) wanna grab a slice (of pizza) later? Exciting! But Love yourself first! (she's aroace)
They go shopping occasionally.
Mario! Please don't stand in the shopping cart!
Hmm, what fruit to get for the party? Lotta good choices, pthhpth.
They even try out games and sports. Even dangerous ones.
THIS CLUB IS SO OFF THE CHAIN!!!!!
Hey there, Undyne, wanna play Chaosvolley? You know I can't do it alone, Pescita.
Video game Characters aren't perfect, and they will argue.
Shimea, we're late to biology. I'll make the first incision on the dead frog.
By Nayru above! You made the first incision on the sheep's eyeball a few weeks ago. You said I can have a turn next time, didn't ya, Enokiko!
Kirby divider by @alphabeet-s0up
Took a while, but I made this!! info below the cut
The inkling girl in the first panel is Carlotta Marisa Ikaraggi, and she's a prodigal sign interpreter for the Squid sisters. And her surname sounds like Ikarrage, or "fried squid" in Japanese, which is what Calamari is. She's from splatsville and her parents come from Cephaloflorence, Inktaly.
The gal next to her is from the Hoenn region. She's an ace trainer named Kasumi Dominica Hamasaki-Brooks. She's deaf in one ear and wants to be a water type gym leader.
Also in the first panel is the Sniper from Team Fortress 2. After finding out he NEVER buys his own shirts, I figured he'd be the kind of person to only enter a contest or competition if the grand prize is a free T-shirt. So yeah, with the transferable skills, Mr. Mundy became the Bee photography champ of 1964. Also he's wondering how Waddle Doo is listening to music.
Knuckles is autistic in my HC, and while he (much like Eggman) is a feminist, he doesn't like to read long paragraphs. So I decided he would read a book of Alison Bedschel Cartoons.
In the second panel, we see two sims characters, one of which is an oc. Hali'a el-Ghani is Hawaiian/Senegalese, and likes floral hijabs. To her right is Savannah Price, but I decided to give her a better looking hairstyle (namely box braids in a ponytail with some edges).
Also Mario and Luigi and Bob the Cat.
The mannequins are of Princess Dragonfruit (my idea of what Wa-Peach is like, somewhat like Bowsette, and she's cringefail villain with a Dr.Doofenshmirtz level of incompetence and her girlfriend is Princess Chammomile, who's pretty much WaDaisy and she sleeps often and has a mellow but lazy stoner-ish vibe) and some random guy.
The next panel shows a club of some sort. Rouge the bat wants to play a game of Chaosvolley with Undyne.
I decided that rouge the bat WOULD wear the jewelry she steals, and frequently lies about where she got it. Also I can't draw anyone playing pool to save my life. So I made up a dangerous "Party sport" instead.
The shirt Undyne is wearing is based off of a hat from @shirtsthatgohard
Bronto Burt is in the corner dancing.
The sonic character in the BG is an oc named Guava the Fennec. She's a green fox with pink eyes and likes fruit smoothies
The foreground shows a Hylian named Shimea who's family runs a tea house inn oot castle town. The Toad next to her is Enokiko Toad, a reserved and intelligent gal who's also quite blunt and also very autistic.
Chikorita Divider by @ianrkives
Note that none of the characters on this page who wear school uniforms wear the exact same uniform. That's because Principal Isabelle Shizue (yes from animal crossing) forgot to have a uniform made for Lawson High (named after Jerry Lawson, who pretty much invented the video game console) so Isabelle just put (wear a school uniform.
In reality, it's because I have ADHD and I don't want to draw the same uniform multiple times.
zelda divider by @saradika-graphics
Btw the department store in the second panel is fluffmart from the Papa Louie series. Which I HC as a mix of Target and Costco.

A proper writeblr introduction
Hello people, you can call me Cosmo. Iām not a spacial doggy, no matter what the gossip says (I'm gonna turn this sentence in my new tagline). I have been around here for a while but I had never dared to do an introduction until now.
What can I say about me? I'm a Spaniard, my home is in Galician. I started to write in English to learn the language but I found out that I liked it.
I'm searching for other amateur writers. I'm really into urban fantasy, specially shapeshifters (you know, werewolves. I haven't gotten over Teen Wolf yet) and romance (with bi character is always better).
I have another blog for NSFW stories: @hotcosmo
My WIPS
Wolf Trip (My current WIP):
Senior year, the last chance to discover your true self before adult life. Jon was ready to enjoy it with epic plans: getting a spot on the basketball team, figuring out what university would be his new place the next fall, and of course, finding the absolute perfect prom date. But, seriously, since when do the plans of a seventeen-year-old boy work out as expected? Instead of parties and dealing with his new status like one of the popular kids, Jon found himself facing the fact that he's not your average human anymore. Romulo, the hot and strong young wolf who decided that Jon's essence was too irresistible not to spice up it with a little bite, had to deal with an emotional teen with a very aggressive newborn inside while they had to sprint across America to find a safe place where Jon can learn how to live in a world bigger than before. A world full of new creatures and magic where your position in the food chain may not be what you expected.
The Imperial Sorceress (complete):
Lady Dominica, High Sorceress of the Empire and the eldest of his coven, and his apprentice Ludovica have to confront a powerful semi-divine creature never seen before in imperial lands which is destroying the military forces of the empire and find out why the creature is helping the alliance of the Southern kingdoms to conquer the city of Lorencia.
Midnight rituals, season 1:
"A witch, a vampire, a werebear, and a human are in a clearing in the middle of a forestā¦" This could be the beginning of a bad joke or of a riddle; however, the witch was summoning an ancient demon while the human tried to avoid it; the witch and the vampire were in love but they fight more than anything else, and the werebear, well, he is there being a very handsome guy and tried to no one ended up dead. The peace of the small town of Santo Hills (Pennsylvania) is in danger and only the hardly credible team of four supernatural teenagers has some opportunity to avoid a massacre in the town.
Dylan, season 1:
"Do you know this feeling of whatever you do, you're going to fuck it? For me, it's not a feeling it's my day-to-day. Hooking up with someone older, yelling at my social worker, or kissing a girl for whom I feel nothing is only a small part of my problems. The big part is my powers which my family knows nothing about. Fuck, I don't know how I survive until graduation. I should talk to them, should I? Ahhh, fucking lā¦"
Malicious Wood:
"After Ragnarƶk, paradise emerged, Yggdrasil blossomed from its ashes, and a new pantheon was constructed, ushering in a new era. But time passed and nothing in this world was created to be at peace forever. AsktrƩ accompanied by his sons Lunnec and Fenrir, return home after an arduous and fruitless journey. Against AktrƩ's wishes, they are unexpectedly drawn into the investigation of a series of mysterious murders in Odinia, Midgar. Could an Ashman and two hybrids discover the truth behind these heinous crimes? Malicious Wood serves as an enthralling introduction to New Yggdrasil a world base on Norse mythology post-Ragnarƶk where the delicate balance between Realms is starting to change. Can those born of an old world save a new one?"

Video byĀ @paulnicklenĀ | Happy World Whale Day! A pod of sperm whales sleeps vertically in the water column of Dominicaās Caribbean Sea after spending the day hunting deep beneath the surface. These massive cetaceans will regularly dive up to a mile to feast on squidādeeper than a submarine ever could hope to reach. Through the use of echolocation, they create intricate maps of their vast underwater territories and spend more than 80 percent of their lives far beyond the sunās rays. Many are solitary foragers, but some families are known to coordinate hunts through the use of their own special dialects, not unlike human language. Follow meĀ @paulnicklenĀ as I work with myĀ @sealegacyĀ team to expand protections for our oceanās vulnerable wildlife.Ā #WorldWhaleDay

As anyone who has been conscious for the past ten months knows, ChatGPT is capable of amazing feats. It can write essays, compose sonnets, explain scientific concepts, and produce jokes (though these last are not necessarily funny). If you ask ChatGPT how it was created, it will tell you that first it was trained on a āmassive corpusā of data from the Internet. This phase consisted of whatās called āunsupervised machine learning,ā which was performed by an intricate array of processing nodes known as a neural network. Basically, the ālearningā involved filling in the blanks; according to ChatGPT, the exercise entailed āpredicting the next word in a sentence given the context of the previous words.ā By digesting millions of Web pagesāand calculating and recalculating the oddsāChatGPT got so good at this guessing game that, without ever understanding English, it mastered the language. (Other languages it is āfluentā in include Chinese, Spanish, and French.)
In theory at least, what goes for English (and Chinese and French) also goes for sperm whale. Provided that a computer model can be trained on enough data, it should be able to master coda prediction. It could thenāonce again in theoryāgenerate sequences of codas that a sperm whale would find convincing. The model wouldnāt understand sperm whale-ese, but it could, in a manner of speaking, speak it. Call it ClickGPT.
Currently, the largest collection of sperm-whale codas is an archive assembled by Gero in his years on and off Dominica. The codas contain roughly a hundred thousand clicks. In a paper published last year, members of the CETI team estimated that, to fulfill its goals, the project would need to assemble some four billion clicks, which is to say, a collection roughly forty thousand times larger than Geroās.
āāEverybodyās talking these days about these generative A.I. models like ChatGPT,ā Goldwasser, who now directs the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, at the University of California, Berkeley, went on. āWhat are they doing? You are giving them questions or prompts, and then they give you answers, and the way that they do that is by predicting how to complete sentences or what the next word would be. So you could say thatās a goal for CETIāthat you donāt necessarily understand what the whales are saying, but that you could predict it with good success. And, therefore, you could maybe generate a conversation that would be understood by a whale, but maybe you donāt understand it. So thatās kind of a weird success.āā
