How to request

When requesting please give full name or code name/alter ego of the character that you want me to write and what fandom they belong.

Also specify what type of request it is that you want and I'll do my best to write it!

Denied Requests

If I have denied your request, there may have been a reason or two why I didn't accept it. If I do deny your request then I will probably also explain why I denied and it may be one of these reasons:

• Requests being closed.

• Wasn't a complete request.

• Being spammed the same request.

• Don't write for the character.

• I might feel uncomfortable with some content that you may request.

Okay! I think that's everything that I needed to cover, but if there's anything I missed (characters, fandoms, extra info) let me know and I will either add it here or make a new post!

[tseneipgam]

"Donations of blood and organs move between us, exiting one body and entering another, and so too with immunity, which is a common trust as much as it is a private account. Those of us who draw on collective immunity owe our health to our neighbors."

"when relatively wealthy white women vaccinate our children, we may also be participating in the protection of some poor black children whose single mothers have recently moved and have not, as a product of circumstance rather than choice, fully vaccinated them. This is a radical inversion of the historical application of vaccination, which was once just another form of bodily servitude extracted from the poor for the benefit of the privileged. There is some truth, now, to the idea that public health is not strictly for people like me, but it is through us, literally through our bodies, that certain public health measures are enacted”

"A rather surprising amount of the human genome is made up of debris from ancient viral infections. Some of that genetic material does nothing, so far as we know, some can trigger cancer under certain conditions, and some has become essential to our survival. The cells that form the outer layer of the placenta for a human fetus bind to each other using a gene that originated, long ago, from a virus"

"Few books have done more to change the word," the journalist Tina Rosenberg acknowledges. "DDT killed bald eagles because of its persistence in the environment," she writes. "Silent Spring is now killing African children because of its persistence in the public mind". The blame for this may belong more to us, the inheritors of Silent Spring, than to the book, but either way malaria has resurged in some countries where DDT is no longer used against mosquitoes. One African child in twenty now dies from malaria, and more are left brain damaged by the disease... for now DDT is, unfortunately, one of the more effective means of controlling malaria in some places. Applied to the interior of walls and homes once a year, DDT has nearly eliminated malaria in parts of South Africa. Compared to spraying DDT across millions of acres from airplanes, as was done in the United States, the environmental impact of this application is relatively small. But DDT remains an imperfect solution. Few chemical companies produce it, donors are unwilling to finance it, and many countries are reluctant to use a chemical that is banned elsewhere. "Probably the worst thing that ever happened to malaria i poor nations," Rosenburg writes, "was its eradication in rich ones". "

"All of us who have been vaccinated are cyborgs, the cyborg scholar Chris Hables Gray suggests. Our bodies have been programmed to respond to disease, and modified by technologically altered viruses. As a cyborg and a nursing mother, I join my modified body to a breast pump, a modern mechanism to provide my child with the most primitive food. On my bicycle, I am part human and part machine, a collaboration that exposes me to injury. Our technology both extends and endangers us. Good or bad, it is part of us, and this is no more unnatural than it is natural."

"Mid- wives and wise women, guilty of crimes that included providing contraception and easing the pains of labor, were particularly persecuted in the witch hunts that burned across Europe from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. According to the Catholic Church's official guide for witch hunters, midwives belonged to the class of good witches who healed and did not harm, but this made them no less witches. While women were being executed for their suspicious ability to heal the sick, physicians in European universities studied Plato and Aristotle but learned very little about the body. They did not experiment, did not practice science as we know it, and had little empirical data to support their treatments, which were often superstitious in nature. Wise women were themselves susceptible to superstition, but as far back as the early middle ages they used ergot to speed contractions and belladonna to prevent miscarriage. Saint Hildegarde of Bingen cataloged the healing properties of 213 medicinal plants, and women lay healers knew the recipes for effective painkillers and anti inflammatories at a time when physicians were still writing prayers on the jaws of their patients to heal toothaches.”

"fear of toxicity strikes me as an old anxiety with a new name. Where the word “filth” once suggested, with its moralistic air, the evils of the flesh, the word “toxic” now condemns the chemical evils of our industrial world. This is not to say that concerns over environmental pollution are unjustified — like filth theory, toxicity theory is anchored in legitimate dangers. The way we now think about toxicity bears some resemblance to the way we once thought about filth. Both theories imagine urban environments as inherently unhealthy. And both allow their subscribers to maintain a sense of control over their own health by pursuing personal purity. For the filth theorist, this meant a retreat into the home, where heavy curtains and shutters might seal out the smell of the poor and their problems. Our version of this shuttering is now achieved through the purchase of purified water, air purifiers, and food marketed with the promise of purity.

Purity is the seemingly innocent concept behind a number of the most sinister social actions of the past century. A passion for bodily purity drove the eugenics movement and led to the sterilization of women and men who were deaf, blind, disabled, or just poor. Concerns for bodily purity were behind miscegenation laws that persisted more than a century after the abolition of slavery, and behind the sodomy laws that were only recently declared unconstitutional. Quite a bit of human solidarity, it seems, has been sacrificed to preserve some kind of imagined purity.

If we do not yet know exactly what the presence of a vast range of chemicals in umbilical-cord blood and breast milk might mean for the future of our children’s health, we do at least know that we are no cleaner, even at birth, than our environment at large. We have more microorganisms in our guts than we have cells in our bodies — we are crawling with bacteria and we are full of chemicals. We are, in other words, continuous with everything here on earth. Including — and especially — each other."

"Immunity is a public space. And it can be occupied by those who choose not to carry immunity. For some if the mothers I know, a refusal to vaccinate falls under a broader resistance to capitalism. But refusing immunity as a form of civil disobedience bears an unsettling resemblance to the very structure the Occupy movement seeks to disrupt — a privileged 1 percent are sheltered from risk while they draw resources from the other 99 percent."

"A Nigerian barber said, of the idea that vaccines were a Western plot against Muslims, “If the White man really wanted to destroy us, there are many other easier ways to do it. They can poison our coca-cola..." I tend to agree. And I suspect coca-cola, unpoisoned, is more harmful to children than vaccination."

"Capitalism has already impoverished the working people who generate wealth for others. And capitalism has already impoverished us culturally, robbing unmarketable art of its value. But when we begin to see the pressures of capitalism as innate laws of human motivation, when we begin to believe that everyone is owned, then we are truly impoverished.”

"This reminds her of a way of thinking proposed by the philosopher John Rawls: Imagine that you do not know what position you are going to hold in society—rich, poor, educated, insured, no access to health care, infant, adult, HIV positive, healthy immune system, etc.—but that you are aware of the full range of possibilities. What you would want in that situation is a policy that is going to be equally just no matter what position you end up in. “Consider relationships of dependence,” my sister suggests. “You don’t own your body—that’s not what we are, our bodies aren’t independent. The health of our bodies always depends on choices other people are making.” She falters for a moment here, and is at a loss for words, which is rare for her. “I don’t even know how to talk about this,” she says. “The point is there’s an illusion of independence.”

"Our contemporary belief that we inhabit only one body contained entirely within the boundaries of our skin emerged from Enlightenment thinking, which celebrated the individual in both mind and body. But what defined an individual remained somewhat elusive. By the end of the Age of Enlightenment, the body of a slave was allowed to represent only three-fifths of a person. Some people remained parts of a whole while others enjoyed the novel illusion of being whole unto themselves.

In response to a 1912 definition of biological individuality as the quality of being “rendered non-functional if cut in half,” Donna Haraway observes that this requirement of indivisibility is problematic for both worms and women. “That, of course,” Haraway writes, “is why women have had so much trouble counting as individuals in modern Western discourses. Their personal, bounded individuality is compromised by their bodies’ troubling talent for making other bodies, whose individuality can take precedence over their own, even while the little bodies are fully contained.” One of our functions, as women, is to be divided."

" “What else is in the air that I can't see?” my son asks after I explain radio waves to him. I tell him about X-rays and microwaves. When I pause, wondering whether to mention radon and pollution, my husband begins talking about sunlight. “Explosions on the sun make tiny particles, called neutrinos," he tells our son. "These fly off the sun and travel through the atmosphere. They are so small that they pass right through our bodies without us ever feeling them. Think of that-we have little bits of sun pouring right through our bodies all the time! We have sunshine in us!".

"“Apocalypse,” Sontag writes, “is now a long-running serial: not ‘Apocalypse Now' but ‘Apocalypse From Now On.' Apocalypse has become an event that is happening and not happening.” In this era of uncertain apocalypse, my father has taken to reading the Stoics, which is not an entirely surprising interest for an oncologist. What he is drawn to in their philosophy, he tells me, is the idea that you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you feel about it. Or, as Jean-Paul Sartre put it, “Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.”

"Avoidance of outsiders, of immigrants, of people missing limbs, or people with marks on their faces is an ancient tactic for disease prevention. And this has fed, no doubt, the longstanding belief that disease is a product of those we define as others. Syphilis, Sontag writes, “was the ‘French Pox’ to the English, morbus Germanicus to the Parisians, the Naples sickness to the Florentines, the Chinese disease to the Japanese.” This conflation of otherness with disease is, some would suggest, written onto our brains. Evolutionary psychologists describe a “behavioral immune system” that causes us to be highly sensitive to physical differences or unusual behavior in other people.

Our behavioral immune system can easily be triggered by people who pose us no risk. We may practice disease aversion around people with physical differences like obesity or disability, or we may practice it around groups with distinct cultural practices, like immigrants or gay men. As the American Medical Association recently observed, the ban on gay men giving blood, which was instituted in 1983, seems to have outlasted its medical prudence and is now merely discriminatory. Our tendency toward prejudice can increase whenever we feel particularly vulnerable or threatened by disease. One study has suggested, for instance, that pregnant women become more xenophobic in the early stages of pregnancy. The more vulnerable we feel, sadly, the more small-minded we become."

"I find the term nonself both perplexing and amusingly noncommittal. Just as undead seems to mean something between living and dead, nonself seems to mean something between self and other. Nonself, I suppose, is an apt description of the human condition. In terms of sheer numbers of cells, our bodies contain more other than self. An alien looking down at us from outer space, an immunologist quips, might reasonably believe that we are just transportation for microbes. But we are using them as much as they are using us. They aid our digestion and help us synthesize vitamins and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Considering how dependent we are on them, it seems only right that we do not regard them as “others,” exactly."

Even Kirk isn’t exactly sure what Molly sees in him, though he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. With his friends, family, and ex-girlfriend all watching stunned from the sidelines, Kirk discovers that he’ll have to work overtime in order to convince Molly that he’s worth hanging on to.

The Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After Communism Book Review

I read The Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After Communism by Tina Rosenburg, and it's dense and sad. It won a Pulitzer Prize, so it's well written and researched. The book examines Czechoslovakia, Poland and the former Eastern Germany and their transition to democracy and away from communism.  Different people are highlighted, their sad stories showcasing life deteriorating around them.

Inside and outside political forces, citizens spying on each other, and dissident groups were some of the dynamics shaping each nation's shift. I kept asking myself what I would have done in similar circumstances. Communism sounds great, but most humans do not practice communism's ideals, and it usually fails.

It was especially interesting seeing how each of these three countries dealt with the failed leaders and spies from the former governments. Is it best to prosecute or forgive? It appears the answer is neither, but it is important to create an accounting of the past both for posterity and healing.

The best section of the book is the last.  The author compares the communist countries of eastern Europe to the Latin American military dictatorships.  In Latin America, leaders ruled with power and guns stifling participation.  The European regimes expected participation, but it had to be done their way.  In Latin America, relatively few people committed atrocities, but in Eastern Europe, half the population were turned into co-conspirators.  In Latin America, dissent meant death, but in Europe, the good got goodies and the “bad” didn’t.  The Latin American regimes were criminal, and the Eastern European dictatorships were criminal regimes.

The legacy of losses hurt both continents in different ways.  Military and security forces still abuse their power and coups seem to lurk nearby in Latin American countries.  In Eastern Europe, communism is all but dead, but the lack of democratic experience has resulted in the rise of nationalism and illiberalism.  In Latin America, the state is too weak to discipline miscreant military leaders, and in Eastern Europe, the state is too strong resulting in abuses of power and the violation of civil and human rights. The author believes trials are needed in Latin America to show that leaders are not above the law.  However, trials are not needed in Eastern Europe because they could easily become just another example of a too powerful government. The author believes a “society-wide examination” of the past would allow people to examine the government and the complicity of its citizens.  There isn’t much difference between communism and anti-communism.  This book reveals incredible and necessary truths needed for a brighter future for all countries and all people.

Hijab in Olympics

In the text “Wrapped in Meaning: Modest Fashion as Feminist Strategy”, Tina Rosenberg explains how hijab is used in the West to represent the threat against multiculturalism and gender equality. Since hijab is linked with Islam which is “conservative” as opposed to the “progressive” West, Muslim women wearing hijab face discrimination at workplaces. In this post, I am going to explain this by giving an example if the women’s football team of Iran. There have been multiple instances that the Iranian women’s team was banned from entering international sports because of their “Islamic clothing” which doesn’t comply with the international standards.

In 2011 Olympics, the Iranian women’s football team was disqualified just before the qualifying match with Jordan. The reason for their disqualification was cited the reasons for ban as “religious symbolism” and health and safety concerns. However, both the reasons invited huge criticisms and the reasons were rather seen as the manifestation of Western Islamophobia. As Rosenburg pointed out, the discrimination against hijab severely affected the careers and dreams of young women football players of Iran. The emergence of women’s football in Iran itself has a complicated history of struggles and negotiation by women to participate in sports in public sphere. In 2005, the women’s football team was formed, and it was supposed to conform with the Islamic code of conduct i.e. wear hijab. Thereby, hijab not only represents their religious and cultural identity, it also represents the challenges and struggles the women players faced and preserved to participate in sports in their own country. The ban on hijab in 2011 by FIFA not only erases their cultural identity but also these struggles in the name of safety and international compliance. However, after this issue became internationally important, companies like Capsters and ResportOn designed sports hijabs that complied with the recommendations of International Football Association Board, thus capitalizing on the issue of more “inclusivity” in sports. This is exactly, how hijab and diversity were commodified (as Rosenberg explains) by corporations even though it provided these women players a way to re-enter Olympics. In 2014, the FIFA finally allowed hijabs (and other religious symbols like turbans worn by Sikhs) if they conformed with their safety regulations. However, women players wearing hijab continue to be face stigma and social criticism on an international level.

First, allow me to describe the picture that you are looking at! This is my strength and conditioning coach, we call him Coach Sano (the giant red headed girl is my best friend she wanted to be in the picture too.) 

I am a volleyball player here at the university and when we are not playing volleyball, we are lifting and conditioning in the weight room with Coach Sano.  He is a great coach and man.  Our team values and respects him to a great deal.  However, in this post i am going to talk about how our genders in the sports world differ in his eyes.  Coach Sano is from Japan where respect of your superiors and coaches is highly valued.  Coach Sano trains the wrestling team, the baseball team, and the women’s field hockey team as well as us.  Now, our volleyball team DOES NOT follow the gender norms of a woman while in the gym.  We are happy with being sweaty, loud, and competitive to almost to the point of us getting in actual fights, but for us, that means we are getting better which is always what we want.  With the competitive nature our team brings to training sessions and practices, comes some choice words as well.(yes, we volleyball girls have a very colorful vocabulary if you are picking up what I am laying down.) Where the problem is here is that Coach Sano DOES NOT let us swear around him. EVER! He made it very clear since the day we started training with him, and here is why: we are girls. women. and it is not lady like what-so-ever to scream the word fuck while dropping 150 lbs weight to the ground in front of the men that are working out.  Now, our team tried and tried (we still try because like I said, colorful vocabulary) but he wouldn't budge on letting us swear around him. If we do, we get points and have to do 5 push-ups for each point we get.  Like I said earlier in the post, we hold nothing but the up-most respect for Coach Sano, so we made the change that while we were in the weight room, we won't swear.  I think that is fine because I do agree that it is not the most professional thing.  But wait there’s more--our team found out that Coach Sano doesn't care AT ALL that the mens teams swear! In fact, he ever swears at them when they aren't doing a satisfactory job.  Uhmmm...WHAT?! I am sorry but it’s 2017.  Why on earth should we not be allowed to swear just because we are women and its “un-lady like”??? Gender norms really hittin’ home for us volleyball players.  This can easily be related to our class reading “American Girl” by Tina Rosenburg.  While the main parts of the article focus more on the preconceived notion that women have to look a certain way, it does hit on how women “are supposed to act”.  Why is it that when women don’t follow their gender norms it is looked frowned upon? I am happy to be apart of a team that consists of all strong, tough, and smart women.  They inspire me everyday and to gender norms in general...we say fuck that! (don’t worry Coach Sano, I am doing my push-ups as we speak)

Exponential Growth

There are two main conflicting views on globalization. There is a viewpoint that sees is as pulling up the have-nots, and bringing opportunity to the world. There is the opposing stance that globalization only serves to help those that have already risen to power, and that people living on top have already “pulled up the ladder.” Nothing is black and white, but there are judgements that can be made about current and future effects of the path of globalization we are on now.

One of the key arguments is that the trade rules now set in place largely by Western nations do not create opportunity for developing countries to really thrive. In the article “Winners and Losers” author Robert Wade articulates, “It is remarkable how unconcerned the World Bank, the IMF and other global organisations are about these trends…Such lack of attention shows that these may be world bodies in the sense that almost all states are members, but they think in state-centric rather than global ways. They neglect not only matters of world income distribution, but also world inflation, world exchange rates, and world interest rates; and, in the case of the World Bank, the global environmental issues of the oceans, the atmosphere, and nuclear waste.” This is a concept of globalization that cannot be successfully argued. The organizations supposed to be working for the globe are not. Pretending to care about social interests is not enough, and those making global decisions are not those dealing with consequences.

The biggest problem I find with globalization is that it’s goal is not balance of the world’s wealth or resources, but trying to grow them. A model of exponential growth is never truly sustainable, especially in relation to people, and our natural resources (which are so much more than the reductive term used to describe them) and especially from a financial standpoint. In “The Free-Trade Fix” Tina Rosenburg states “But economists agree on one thing: to help the poor, you’d better grow…But Pinochet created a time bomb in Italy: the country’s exports were, and still are, nonrenewable natural resources. Chile began subsidizing companies that cut down native forests for wood chips, for example, and the industry is rapidly deforesting the nation.” These decisions have helped the poor in the short term. It is not my place to say what this will look like for the people and land in the long run, historically it does not pan out the way the companies predict.

For this social artifact I chose a reading from the book American Earth titled “The Population Bomb” written by Paul R. Ehrlich. He states, “The rich are going to get richer, but the more numerous poor are going to get poorer. Of these poor, a minimum of three and one-half million will starve to death this year, mostly children. But this is a mere handful compared to the numbers that will be starving in a decade or so. And it is now too late to take action to save many of those people.” (Ehrlich 434) This idea of looking for short term profits over long term sustainability, of destroying all resources, of allowing our populations to soar—while some of those populations live so lavishly they have carbon emissions in multiples of those in poorer nations, of having no limit to our actions, are all problems with globalization. Until these things, along with many more change, the globalization we see will never be good, because it has bad intentions, with knowledge of the suffering it has created in the wake of these intentions.

As I was walking through College Bookstore, my eye was drawn to the electric pink of the “BlingSting Pepper Spray” box. Packaged inside is a “blinged out” can of pepper say. The glistening pieces of plastic super glued to its exterior is not the only thing that sets it apart from the rest. For extra protection, it is endorsed by Cosmopolitan magazine as being the perfect “purse charm”. You’re not sold yet?! Don’t worry! The company’s website has a plethora of options for YOU. Each can has its own name.. would you prefer “Arm Candy?”, Side Piece”, or “Wife Material”? Better yet, let’s take a look at why the company believes their product is superior (www.blingsting.com): “Because we know that personal safety doesn't have to be boring or masculine!  Our pepper spray, personal alarms, stun guns, and more are designed to keep girls safe and super-cute.  On campus, walking the dog, running errands - our pepper spray is small and clips on any bag, so it goes everywhere.  We believe in being a girl, and we believe in pink, sparkles, and that the best things come in nice packages.  Smart is the new pretty!”. Not sold yet? Uh… yeah, me either. What a contradiction. While seemingly trying to protect women, this company relies on superficial conceptions that oppress women to market their product. In Tina Rosenburg’s article, “American Girl”, she touches on the pressures women face to conform to society’s version of beauty. This marketing strategy preys on the pressures described by Rosenburg by suggesting that if something isn’t “cute”, pink, and covered in sparkles, it must be “boring or masculine”. Buying their product will make you “smart” and “pretty”. Rosenburg also discusses pressures from the media. Here, we see Cosmopolitan magazine perpetuating societal constructs of beauty. It is also important to note that none of their products appeal to men, which suggests only women need protective devices. Ultimately, this company contradicts themselves in their attempt to provide protection with a product that is dripping with gender biases that oppress their targeted consumers.
