Lightrail train got fully stopped and cleared out because there was apparently a guy on board threatening people with an Actual Sword so Denver is clearly having a normal one.

Bad. Not really feeling social.

Well, the “Mario dies” fic is finished--or, as finished as it could be before April 5th hit in my time zone. There are more revisions I wish I could make to the fight scene, but I wanted this to be posted before the movie makes it outdated. As a result, it’s a bit rushed, and I apologize.

Despite its problems, I still hope it’s enjoyable!

Feeling extra sentimental about the nostalgia and happiness and comfort and memories that this game has brought me right about now

[captain-amadeus]

I promise to continue watching stf anyways

man i just decided to watch rvb again all the way through for the first time in many years and the nostalgia hitting me from the old rvb fandom on tumblr is almost overwhelming. i just finished season 8 and i forgot about the animation, the music, the story...season 6 was so fun to go back and rewatch, and i’m super excited to get to the freelancer bits next. it’s all just. a lot of fun. but also a lot of missing the old days. which makes me sound like one of those stereotypical old people but honestly the rt fandom on tumblr was one of the first fandoms i joined and was definitely the longest and most impactful. haven’t thought about it much in the last handful of years so it’s all kind of rushing back now

and ofc they announce the final season of rvb at rtx while i’m in the middle of all this. makes me sad to think about--what the show used to be and how it’ll end. i’m even going back to the old guns for hire au art and thinking about adding one to my cosplans again so many years later

idk where this is going or what point i’m trying to get across. just thinking back on and remembering a bunch of stuff. missing the people and blogs and theories and art and fics and cosplays....missing everything from back then i guess. just felt like dumping my thoughts for once.

Just a little update on things I'm planning to get done this month:

Setting up the German langblr (I already copied and pasted the "615 words to know in your target language" vocabulary lists and now I need to organize everything a bit and read through a few German learning resources to see how to explain the grammar from the beginning)

Clearing my inbox (finishing all the old blurb requests, the one playlist request and the roast asks from ages ago)

Writing at least 20 of the fics on my WIP list (maybe more if I have the motivation to write every day; I'll make a separate post about it this week)

Finishing all the old moodboard requests

Making the two gif sets people requested a year ago (and a few more I've been wanting to make for a while)

Host an overdue 2.5k followers celebration thing (which I need ideas for but that will be a separate post later)

Okay BUT that ancient idea that all 'good' women don't have any sexual desires at all, only men do is highly destructive and still influencing society today...

For a very long time, I was so uncomfortable with the idea of having a sexuality at all because I internalized that shit. YES, REALLY!

For many years, I fought for the rights of my gay friends fiercely (all the while not connecting the dots of why it mattered to me on a more personal level).

I was loudly vocal about LGBT activism at my college, all while living like a nun and avoiding ever having to deal with any of my personal feelings.

Suppressing yourself like I did is NOT healthy. I wouldn't suggest it at all.

"If a pig catches both a human influenza A virus and an avian influenza A virus at the same time, it can spark a process known as viral reassortment — a genetic exchange in which flu viruses swap gene segments." "Those swaps can introduce dramatic changes, producing a new virus with certain properties of a non-human strain coupled with the capacity to infect and spread between people." "The death rate in humans may be upwards of 50 per cent, World Health Organization data suggests, though it's possible that milder infections are getting missed, skewing the case fatality ratio. Still, in a population that's never been exposed, the global impacts could be dire." "More human cases could also be happening under the radar among farm workers who've moved to the U.S. from abroad, don't speak English as their first language, and may be hesitant to seek medical help, he added." "So I think there's probably underreporting on both sides," Armstrong said." "If [H5N1] gets into a population where there's constantly animals going in and out … it might not ever leave."

I've been watching this develop for the past several days, and apart from being terrified most people will not take this seriously (I've seen a handful of people already shout conspiracy on social media and it's alarming to see, as always). What I wanted to point out is that pandemics are going to continue to be our 'normal.' I watched a great video on YouTube a while ago (I believe it was by Vice?) that touched base on how this is going to become our new reality because of multiple factors (such as our proximity to animals, and environments/etc). It was when Covid hit and they did a piece debunking some of the misinformation floating on the internet. If I can find it I will post it here because it was informative and relevant to pretty much any world crisis we will see around any virus that spreads among a human population.

This post isn't trying to fear monger anyone, I just hope more people are aware of what is happening because this is important to talk about. There are already cases (of cows getting this bird flu) in the US, and I won't be surprised if there will be instances in more countries around the world. As usual, keep washing your hands/keeping good hygiene practices, masking up (and if you aren't I hope you consider it), and taking precautions if you do happen to visit/work or go near a pig or poultry farm too:

I'll keep track of this here of course, but please stay informed folks. And also FU to any governments who will try to minimize this or try to diminish the severity until it's too late and community spread happens like Covid because their actions are influenced by capitalistic interests.

Update (April 7th, 2024, 9:32pm EST): to anyone wondering where some of the source information originates from -here is a link to the CDC. They are tracking documented avian virus outbreaks in the US and the public can access it here:
