sorry if i’m being a party pooper but because rabies is apparently the new joke on here ??? please remember that rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate after symptoms develop so if you’re bitten or scratched by an animal that you aren’t 100% sure is vaccinated then GO TO A DOCTOR. it’s not a joke. really.

"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"
Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

Honour and Obligation: Tournaments and Peace Treaties
Chapter 6: Open to Interpretation (7.5K)
She did not see them right away, but she did see one of the Hida from the contest, his arm in a sling and she headed over towards him, her brow furrowed. “Hida Bo-san,” she said. “You are injured! But you did not take a serious wound during the Iaijutsu tournament did you?”
“Hah! The little Ishiken-sama. No, Kagami-sama, I was not seriously injured in the tournament. Just a few scratches. My opponents were skilled at controlling their blades.”
“Then how did you find yourself injured?” Kagami said, confused.
The big Crab grinned at her. “My own carelessness,” he admitted. “They are building the agility course and I climbed to the top of one of the structures and was standing atop it, trying to balance on one foot.” He leaned down towards her, lowering his voice. “There may have been some sake involved,” he admitted. “It turns out that it is hard to balance after that much sake, and I fell off and…” he gestured at his shoulder.
“That is truly unfortunate,” Kagami said. “I can easily heal it for you, however. There is no need for you to remain in pain.”

Fairy Tales are a necessity because they dare speak the truths that the world never wants to hear;
That adults are cruel to children.
That you will suffer injustice, but that doesn't give you the right to be unjust to others.
That there are negative consequences to indulging vices.
That upholding moral principles is always the better path, even in the face of hardship.
That you will die someday.
And that inspite of all the bad in the world, it is worth persevering and finding the love and joy that is out there.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Chapter 5: Hot Days and Cool Water (5.8K)
The day was hot and heavy, the samurai wearing just their hadajuban rather than full kimono. At the mid-day meal, Kagami-sama sighed, pressing a hand against her temple and reaching out the other. It hovered in mid-air, fingers fluttering.
“Is there a problem, Kagami-san?” Nami-sama asked.
Kagami-sama grimaced. “The Water-kami and the Air-kami are not happy,” she said. She smiled wryly. “This is why you must be careful when you interfere with the natural workings of the kami. I can feel their discontent.”
Nami-sama frowned for a moment, trying to understand. “Oh. The fact that the Chisana Basho shugenja are ensuring it does not rain.”
Kagami nodded. “There most likely would have been a summer storm this evening, were they not commanding it otherwise. Perhaps the anger is lessened nearer the encampment, but here…”
Nami-sama rubbed at her nose. “Is there anything we might do to help soothe them?” she asked.
“I am going to pray down by the river,” Kagami-sama said. “It is also likely to be cooler there. Perhaps I might be able to do some little good. I would rather not spend the rest of the week fighting the headache this is giving me."

Honour and Obligation: Tournaments and Peace Treaties
Chapter 4: Anticipation (4.3K)
After the Kakita had left, Ariko moved to sit closer to Chomei. “Why am I suddenly worried?” she asked, making a face.
Chomei sighed. “Because something so much bigger than us is going on.”
They sat in silence for a few minutes. Eventually, Ariko turned to face him. “Do you want to play a game of Go?” she asked.
“Yes!” Chomei said, in relief.
Two games of Go later, there was movement in the hallway outside and Jiromasu-sama entered the room and looked around. A small crease appeared between his eyebrows when he saw the room empty of all but the two of them. He turned to look at Chomei.
“Did something happen while you were out berry-picking this morning?” he asked.
Chomei blinked. “Um… yes, Jiromasu-sama. There was a Naga.”
Jiromasu-sama’s face went very still for a moment. Then he nodded slowly. “Report.”

Honour and Obligation: Tournaments and Peace Treaties
Chapter 3: Words of Warning (5.4K)
There was a yell from Chomei, the boy pointing to a large disturbance in the water. As Kagami saw sunlight glinting off the scales on a long, sinuous tail, she swore softly to herself, glancing over at Oguri. Nami had initially tensed and then dropped to a wary alertness, but the other bushi’s eyes had widened and he drew his sword, taking a few steps over towards the berry bushes, to be closer to those most likely to need protection.
A laudable reaction, but one that could have grave consequences. Kagami leaped forward to place herself between him and the Naga who was slithering up onto the bank. She faced Oguri and not their unexpected visitor, her arms spread wide. “Stand down, Oguri-san,” she said sharply. “He is an ally.”
There was a long, dangerous moment when she was not sure if he would heed her.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.
There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.
"Curious. What ritual is this?"
"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"
"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

I’ve never had a reheading go this horribly before. I’d say I’m pretty good at beheading- I may have broken a neck once or twice, but never any parts I actually liked or intended on keeping, and usually a reheading is the easiest thing, right? Just a little squish and a pop and done, a complete person. But this time it just- it just won’t go back on the body?? Which is incredibly frustrating but also, like, why??
And the funniest thing is, I’m not even swapping a head!! This is a curvy dancer head going onto a curvy dancer body!! They match!! This should have been so simple!! But no, this head’s just flopping around like a limp flaccid idiot and my hands are all red and sore now but the head just isn’t attaching all the way!!
Today I did six beheadings and two other reheadings, and I wanted to get this one attached so I could take a picture, but somehow it just isn’t working!! The head is just getting squished around but isn’t stretching over the neck right!! And I’m way too lazy to go and boil the head just to make the slip easier!! And I don’t wanna keep forcing it cuz I might break something but this is!! So frustrating!!
Like, what could I possibly be doing wrong!! Fuck!!
