I was trying to understand the whole idea of "fear ecology", where presence of predators = a ton of behavioural and psychological changes in prey animals, even if they're not hunting (so for example, a non-hunting outdoor cat lowers foraging + reproductive success among mice) and it seemed extreme until the next day when I realized thats just me when my boss is in at work.

Finally I have time to myself to draw!!! The first thing I make- A yautja. Of course. Her name is Akuiatn but I often call her Akula.
Akula is made out of my frustration with the Predator 2018 movie. One day I'll write out all my opinions about that movie and more about her and her story but for today y'all get art.

today im thinking about malaria in ancient rome.
about the fact that P. falciparum (the most dangerous kind of malaria) was likely endemic at least from the 2nd century BC onward
that Galen said semitertian fevers (P. falciparum infections) were more common in Rome than anywhere else in the Roman Empire
that the most severe manifestations of P. falciparum (quotidian fevers + cerebral malaria) were most common in babies and young children, an epidemiological observation that indicates the transmission rate of P. falciparum was extremely high in Rome
that Quintus Serenus said there was no Latin word for semitertian fevers (they used a transliteration of the Greek, 'hemitritaeos') because "no one, i think, could have named it in our language and mothers would not have wanted to"

You know who would have been the ultimate dream team if they'd been on a ship together?
Tom Paris and Jadzia Dax.
Listen. The SHENANIGANS.
But also.
THE CARE.
THE SUPPORT.
THE FIERCLY DEVOTED FRIENDSHIP.
TOM IS MOM FRIEND AND JADZIA IS DAD FRIEND AND AS A TEAM THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO POWERFUL.
