RICE Alzheimer's Research Institute

Terry died on 12 March 2015, having given his PCA a run for its money.  Open about his diagnosis, he has helped to unlock the secrecy and stigma that often surrounds dementia.  His legion of fans is undoubtedly grateful that despite the inevitable progression of the PCA he was able to fight his ‘embuggerance’ and continue to produce a number of both well-received and well-reviewed books.  Terry was also a great example to me in emphasizing how important it is that, in caring for people with any type of dementia, we always look for what people with a condition like PCA can still do, rather than what they can’t: by maximizing what is possible, a person can still live well with dementia for a significant time.

–Professor Roy Jones, Director of RICE (taken from “Terry Pratchett: His World”)

I wanted to post something for the Glorious 25th about the Research Institute for the Care of Older People (RICE) in Bath, where Sir Terry Pratchett received treatment for Post-Cortical Atrophy, the type of Alzheimer’s disease that eventually took his life. From the organization’s website:

RICE established one of the first memory clinic services in the UK in 1987 – a service which has since been widely replicated and is now considered standard and best practice by the NHS. In fact, RICE now runs the NHS Memory Clinic in Bath and North East Somerset on behalf of the local clinical commissioning group and local authority through a sub-contract with HCRG Care Group. To date, we’ve assessed, diagnosed, treated and advised 12,000 people with memory problems and their families in our memory clinic. 

Most of RICE’s clinical services and research activities take place in our own purpose built, specialist centre located on the Royal United Hospital site. The building of the RICE Centre was possible as a result of generous donations from major donors, trusts and foundations, and members of the public. RICE moved into the ground and first floor of the centre in 2008. Following the success of the DementiaPlus Appeal and further generous donations from major donors, trusts and foundations and members of the public, RICE converted the attic floor in 2019 to create more office space. This has given us access to much needed additional rooms and offices which will enable us to grow and run more services and activities. We’ve worked hard to ensure that the areas of the centre visited by our patients meets their needs and we regularly receive feedback on how much our patients enjoy their visit to our centre.

RICE not only provides clinical services to patients, but also conducts research into aging and dementia, including performing clinical trials for new drug treatments for memory-related diseases and developing other “techniques for diagnosing, managing, treating and understanding dementia and memory changes in older adults.”

Lady Lyn Pratchett is the patron of the organization, and the website includes a page about how people can donate funds or volunteer at the clinic and participate in fundraising events.

SO, if you’d like to help fund Alzheimer’s research on this Glorious 25th of May–or at any time–in honor of the Man in the Hat, take a look!

Hello!! my precious baby boy cat Ghost is going to need an expensive thing done but it's gonna help him sooo much, but I'd like to offset the cost a little because--well, expensive!!!

So I'm opening commissions!! I'm offering $80 CAD full body character artworks. (If you want multiple characters interacting, it's an additional +$20 per character).

I would prefer to work with a visual reference.

I prefer not to draw real life people.

I'm open to doing something more suggestive, though nothing overtly NSFW.

Once the invoice is paid, I will send you the sketch for approval before finishing the drawing.

I do all my invoices through Square. (not Paypal, but you don't need a Square account to pay the invoice as far as I know.)

Please only contact me through email, not DMs--I check my email way more frequently!

If you're at all interested, please toss me an email at windyflamingo (at) gmail (dot) com !

Thanks so much!

hi everyone! im almost 2/3 done with my masters (!) and a main part of this semester is prepping for my capstone in the summer semester with a survey.

if you're between the ages of 18 - 35 i ask that you please take this survey - it should take no more than 5 minutes, it's completely anonymous, and it's about scarcity in fashion. i'd also appreciate any reblogs, signal boosts, or even friends/family offline to participate as i need 100 responses by April 23rd, so any and all responses count and it would make a HUGE difference to have you participate!

i thank you in advance for your consideration at all!!

WE HAVE A KO-FI!!!

after having a field day with thinking about the pros and cons of this, i've decided to put the ko-fi out for all my current and future projects. it's no secret that being a college student gets you under a lot of academic and financial stress, this will be a way to overcome that + continuing doing something i love, which is providing writing content for you all. you are not obligated to tip/donate to this poor victorian child by any stretch, but each cup of ramen coffee is deeply appreciated <3

Preorders for Sam plushies are now live on my store!!💜 I also decided to open preorders for the Danny plushies once more since a lot of people seem interested in getting one!

Unfortunately, the Sam plush sample  isn't 100% finished yet and some minor changes will be made to the body size, outfit colours and eye size. These changes can only be made after I pay the bulk order fee, so it might take a bit longer for the plushies to be produced and shipped. If you were to preorder now, you would most likely receive the package by June-July.

Preorders end in the 16th of February

A lone Zoroark seems to have been busy working away and has stopped for a quick break. It appears he has noticed you.

Why not inquire about his activities?

Anything helps but I'm more than happy to write whatever for any fandom and whatever topic, trope, kink, etc. 📀 [More info here]
