One of the machines broke down at the hyperbole factory. The situation is frustrating, but ultimately manageable.

For your future information, here are medical innovations younger than both the basics of HRT for trans ppl & the first gender-reassignment/gender-confirmation surgery. I put together this incomplete list earlier today bc I was bored:

all organ transplants

most modern vaccines, including the polio vaccine

the gluten-free diet as a treatment for celiac disease

synthetic insulin

oral contraceptives

MRIs

the concept of a "blood bank"

pacemakers

hydrocortisone

ibuprofen

diazepam

artificial hearts

sumatriptan

naproxen (Aleve)

tramodol

dialysis

ECT

ondansetron (Zofran)

chemotherapy

IVF

CPR

CT scans

transdermal patches

liposuction

intravascular stents

penicillin

In case you run into someone talking about how 'experimental' HRT is.

The difference between Severus Snape and James Potter is that Snaters have to make up canon, come up with terrible assumptions, and pull theories out of thin air to paint Severus as the ultimate villain, while those of us who despise James simply need to point out that someone who publicly strips another person is a piece of shit. Reality is harsh, folks.

It means a lot to me that Snape does what he does to undermine Voldemort even while canonically terrified of him.

Snape pales noticeably when he is asked to return to Voldemort. In Occlumency lessons, he gets distinctly uncomfortable at Harry’s slinging his name around like it’s nothing:

“Dumbledore is an extremely powerful wizard,” Snape muttered. “While he may feel secure enough to use the name ... the rest of us ...”

His report to Dumbledore of Voldemort’s anger over losing the diary conveys enough of his fear that Dumbledore describes it to Harry as “terrible to behold”. He hesitates for the space of a heartbeat before entering the Death Eater meeting in The Dark Lord Ascending. And of course, he pales until his face resembles a “death mask” as he understands that the borrowed time he has been living on is up. And on each of these occasions, we see him continue his difficult work anyways.

These small moments give us a glimpse of the human under the mask that Snape presents to Voldemort, and help us start to understand the considerable toll that his work must have taken on him.

I'll do a better one someday soon- I tried to ink and colour this and it went spectacularly wrong. This is a sketch for now.

Once again beyond sick and got it at work most likely bc that's the only place I go. People please I beg either wear a goddamn fucking mask or don't. Fucking. Go. In. The store!! My useless immune system and zero pain tolerance cannot handle literally getting sick every 2 freaking weeks! I literally can't keep this fever down and I have like concrete phlegm in my throat. Between that and the fever I also have a pounding headache and nausea and severe aches.

We are all less safe with the First Felon.

All First Felon policy changes will produce worse results. Installing loyalists will make everything worse. Dismantling safeguards will make things worse.

Being audhd is fun bc why can I remember a random thought I had at the age of 7 but not what I said an hour ago or what I needed to clean?

[jasminedrawsshit]

nd culture is being blamed pretty much every time something went wrong as a kid even if you had nothing to do with it

Listen, I'm having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

"I'm pretty sure that fella ain't here legally."

"Well, that ain't your business Chip, it's his."

They hate being preached to. If you pull out words like 'gender wage gap' they'll tell you you're brainwashed by the far left media.

"He's one of them transgenders."

"He got freedoms too, Jimmy."

I can't get behind the idea that Lucius 'took Snape under his wing because as a sixth/seventh year he gave first year Severus a pat on the back and sat down next to him.' He was a prefect. Welcoming the new students is part of his 'job'.

Percy didn't 'take Harry or Hermione under his wing' because he sat with them - he shepherded all the new Griffindors. Lucius would have been the same, with a possible (likely) edge of 'Death Eater groomer' fostering fresh talent for Voldemort's army.

Severus was a poor, muggle-raised oddball half-blood. He wasn't particularly aggressive or strong and had no social standing. While he was a little socially isolated and the target of other-house bullying - he spent most of his time with a Griffindor girl, and they were too tight to separate within a year or two. In his first two years especially he probably spent most of his time out and about with her, doing homework together and playing.

There were other students there at that time that were Purebloods with social standing and money - much juicer, easier targets. Even if Severus showed some talent as a first year - why would Lucius focus on him...? He is a more difficult and less worthwhile target - and Lucius would have graduated before just being 'a friendly prefect' would have had much effect.

I'm just not really seeing it. Getting more friendly and connected as Death Eaters? Sure - absolutely. In Severus' sixth year, when he had split from Lily and was doubling down on all his potion stuff, I can picture a graduated Death Eater Lucius scouting his talent.

But this idea that Severus had a big older friend guiding him and keeping his lonely ass company seems too far fetched. More like 'Lucius was friendly and polite to the weird little mudblood - which to Severus made him seem glowing... but it wasn't until much later when he could prove himself to any of them.'

It will never cease to make me so MAD that even after covid, people still constantly go into stores sick! And I'm talking adults, not your two year old with a cold who had no choice but to tag along. And 9 out of ten of people I see sick in a store, no mask. Sneezing/coughing right in front and next to other presumably healthy people. Like, do that many people just really not care at all about who else they're infecting? Or do they just not think about it? Keep in mind when you go into a store sick, you are spreading that nastiness(unless you wear a mask) around the entire store just by coughing, sneezing, breathing,unknowingly touching your face or nose and then a surface; etc. You come into contact with plenty of folks who have a bad immune system as well. At my store, a vast majority of shoppers are either very elderly, and young parents with very young children, so when 45 year old Greg comes in with a "minor cold" he could easily give 97 year old Betty a life threatening cold. Even people my age(25) can have compromised immune systems, and I appear to. I constantly end up with a raging cold from h*ll and (i don't leave the house for anything besides work) so it clearly has come from there. So please people. If you are sick, stay home or mask up and be very generous with the hand sanitizer! If you absolutely need groceries there are other options. There's pickup, where you park and someone brings out your items to your car, and there's also typically a delivery option. Even a family member could get the food for you and drop it off at your door. Let's stop so easily sharing germs!

Why do people knock so dammed loud on public bathroom doors(not the multi stall type) like I am on break just trying to use the bathroom in peace and suddenly someone is knocking so hard it's like they're trying to break it down?? Like holy cow

[jasminedrawsshit]

Is it bad to be just really annoyed with your cat? Because my cat in one morning decided to knock multiple things off of my counter which I know he knows not to be on, including my unfinished cup of cranberry juice, and then proceeded to eat his food ridiculously fast after I put it down, not even chewing most of it which he then threw up all over the fucking carpet when I was in the other room. I love him but I swear sometimes that he has lost his mind and he needs to go find it.
