[transspeciesculture]

We keep mentioning how transspecies as a term has existed long before the radqueer & transID communities formed, and started claiming it as part of those communities despite it's actual usage within nonhuman/fictional/unusual human species identifying spaces and objections from said spaces.

As a sort of quick thing to back this up, here are some examples before the year of 2020 (estimated beginnings of the radqueer/transID community)!

All of this excludes troll posting/mockery, and is focused on NH/FICT community's discussions. Some additional content warnings are provided for some of the e-mails, however.

This is not extensive, feel free to show us any other finds (excluding alt.horror.werewolves e-mails, we've already scoured trough everything. There is actually more mentions via that, but all from the same person).

Mentions of term:

01 - "Gender-bender" e-mail, 1999. Included in this section due to the unclearness of if the original author of the e-mail identifies as otherkin or transspecies personally.

yknow, when u think about it, it's absurd that people still manage to stuff up book adaptations. you have a book. you have like, every piece of plot + dialogue readily available to be written in to the script one way or another. and you're telling me you still managed to stray so far from the plot that it doesn't even remotely resemble the books but rather resembles a burning trash fire

[this-barbie-is-on-effexor]

i don't think i've asked you this yet.. top 3 tsc characters 👀🎤

Omg, Magnus, Tessa and Jace! I thought I would have trouble answering but they came to mind almost immediately.

Will is close to the top as well, my boy who thought he was cursed, but Jace takes the spot of sarcastic, romantic doofus, if only because I knew him first. I love Tessa’s strength and resourcefulness, and her gentleness as a mother. And Magnus…. Ah, Magnus…

Put it this way, when I was reading TDA and he showed up, I pumped my fist in the air. I care him.

What are yours?? Thank you am for asking btw!

In the EC, Nora said that Andrew and Neil learned a new language together after TKM. In TSC Jean mentions Neil and Andrew speaking some language he doesn’t understand. Given that Jean speaks English, French, and mystery 3rd language (presumably japanese), i feel like he would have mentioned if the language sounded similar to a romance language or an east asian tonal language.

My theory is that they learned either: A) Arabic (or one of its many dialects), or B) An African language (perhaps Swahili, since it’s the most spoken and would likely have the most resources available, though please feel free to fact check me on this if i’m wrong)

[theramseyloft]

Hello, i stumbled upon your account in a quest to find some information and tips on caring for mating pet pigeons. I can't find any resources on that and it's unfortunate. I was caring for a female pet pigeon then i got her a male pigeon so they can have fun together while I'm not home. It took around a week until they got familiar with eachother and she accepted him. Now I'm in desperate need for information on what to do and how to care for them while mating. What type of nests, material etc

Gonna go ahead and add the continuation of this question here, so I can answer them all at once.

[Cont.] : what type of nest i should get? I couldnt find one big enough for my pigeon so i got her a rabbit nest, but i feel like they need a bigger one so they can nest together in it, they now take turns to sleep in it and the other sleeps on the floor(tray). Also i heard something about 3 days after they lay eggs i should clean the nest? I am total beginner at this so i appreciate any help and tips i can get for the whole process. Thank you so much for your time have a good day :) 🙏🏼✨️

I am sorry this took so long to answer!

I have just not had time through the ongoing move.

First and formost!

Breeding hens and developing babies need a TON of calcium!

Mom is about to lay two eggs bigger than her head, that don't just have shells basically made of bone material, there is even more bone material inside the shell to begin building the baby's skeleton!

Her body does not care where it comes from!

If there is not enough calcium reserved from her diet, her body will leach it from her bones to make and fill the egg shell!

Bird bones are hollow!

Shrink hers enough, and the eggs can't pass through the pelvic girdle anymore!

This is what causes egg binding, and egg binding is often fatal!

SO many chemical processes in the body rely on calcium!

Your nerves firing relies on calcium!

A hen with calcium deficiency can be paralyzed after egg laying!

Your job as the care taker of a sexually mature hen is to prevent this!

MAKE SURE she has as much as she can get hold of to support her through the construction of eggs and pre-skeleton goo!

TSC sells crushed oyster shell by the 10-50lb bag.

Most pet stores with a herp section have drops that you can add to the water or directly give the bird if you do notice signs of egg related deficiency.

Offer crushed calcium in a separate dish in the feeding aria, or sprinkle a pinch on top of daily meals for a breeding pair.

The rabbit nest is actually perfect!

Pigeons don't nest together when there are actually eggs or peeps in the nest, or even when there are about to be.

While one sits, the other typically is out foraging so that they are well enough fed and hydrated to sit through their own four to six hour shift on the eggs, once their partner is done.

So, at the moment, things are going pretty ideally for your pair.

As for materials, that depends on whether or not you want the eggs to hatch.

It sounds like you do, so the ideal nesting material is some kind of densely packed straw.

Wheat straw is cheap and commonly available, the basic, serviceable, no frills nest material.

Alfalfa hay smells very pleasant, is SUPER oder absorbent, dries up accidental nest poops by the adults and inevitable baby mess quickly, and pigeons love the texture, but humans can get contact dermatitis (and allergic rash) from it.

Pine straw doesn't pack or absorb very well, but it repels bugs and pigeons love the texture.

You need something the peeps can grip.

They are very bulky and start out with rubber bones, so if their little feet slide out to the side on a flat surface, the bones can harden into that shape as they grow and solidify, which is hideously painful and will leave the babies unable to walk.

The bowl shape that the parents shuffle adorably into the straw their nest box is packed with structurally supports the positions of the babies' legs.

Once the eggs are laid, leave the nest alone.

It does not need to be cleaned until the babies are about two weeks old.

Prior to that point, they cannot maintain their own body heat, and parents spooked off the nest by a bedding change can result in peeps dying in less than an hour of hypothermia.

You can reach gently under the parent to briefly touch or hold the peep, but try not to move the nest itself or disturb the materials if you can avoid it.

Pigeon parents will fight God over their chicks, and if the chick is all you touch, they will just try to sit down harder.

Pet the peep, give it a quick health check, and out it back.

you can start extending these handling sessions as it grows.

At two weeks, the babies can keep themselves warm, and both parents will be away from the nest eating most of the time, only returning to feed every few hours or so until the peeps wean.

This is your cuddle window.

Baby pigeons like to cuddle, and socializing them this way gives them a much more mentally sound and emotionally stable developmental foundation.

Be warned!

Pigeons are insanely prolific!

From sex to fertile egg takes 5 days.

Peeps hatch in 18 days.

They typically wean between 4 and 5 weeks, depending on breed, and are fully flighted at 5 weeks.

Around week 2 or 3, mom starts inviting dad to mate with her again so she's ready to lay the next clutch the second the peeps leave the nest. (Sometimes even a little before!)

Fake eggs are going to be your best friend, if you don't want to be completely over run! (Trust me, you do not!!!)

For reference, my phone number is 706-993-7452.

I will answer non emergency questions here as time permits me, but if you are worried for the wellbeing of your birds, my phone is always on, and it lives next to my pillow at night.

so don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

[ends-chronicles]

Who are the mercenaries??

The mercenaries first appeared in AvA6, “Wanted”, before again in AvA6 (part 2), “The box”.

These fellas will appear much more looking at their personalities and of course screen time.

They’re obviously parallels to the color gang.

Hear me out !!

Ballista and Red are both passive fighters, first to attack, not defend.

Also are bold and a bit crazy-

Primal and blue use fighting range and are much more defensive. Even the potion effects are…

 similar…

Yellow and Hazard..I’m not quite sure to be honest, they’re prepared and responsible..

Green and Agent are very similar to their ‘bosses’. And having some leadership skills.

…but

While victim and TSC are both leaders.. and how TSC uses weapons around him just like victim did in AvA1, making both of them resourceful…

I’d rather think they’re opposites.

TSC is out going, kind and is a literal child,

victim on the other hand is mysterious, anger-issued and definitely spiteful.

Alan saw that TSC was indeed, sentient..and so spared him.

While victim couldn’t do anything to prove he was alive, rather focused on destroying his tormentors computer…caused his deletion. 

I definitely do want to see more if the mercenaries, and their skills. Oh yea, their skills…

Agent has no powers at all, but somehow he’s the commander of the team, using his wit and toolbar to beat the opponent. He’s a defender.

Hazard uses his combat, and reflexes, 

also being able to do..this..

he can do that…He’s a ..defender?

While Primal uses her(?) weapons and strength. Her spear and body are a good fit, she’s a attacker.?

Ballista is definitely relying on speed and..guns. He’s more of a attacker, and uses his abilities more.

Correct me on any mistakes or miss outs I made here :3

[insomniac2612]

which tsc character could you take in a fist fight

BREAKING NEWS- pathetic looser girl believes that she can fight emma. Resources claim the girl just wants to be topped.

[radio-heads]

omg…quarry and aftg brainworms. me too. been picturing the aftg characters in the quarry and giggling to myself. thoughts?

i have a lot of thoughts omg. whether i can put them into coherent sentences?? up for debate

but i am so willing to try.

(heads up the trojans won't be talked about in this for rn because i'm still rereading tsc and am trying to get a grasp of the characters and their personalities etc etc. i'll probably add to this in the future.)

first and foremost- majority of the aftg characters would probably survive. at least, that's what i think. some of them would survive accidentally, others on purpose, and some you are left wondering how they survived at all.

neil survives because that's what he's done all his life- survive. he knows how to stay alive. sort of. andrew is also partially to thank for neil surviving.

andrew keeps kevin alive, too.

and andrew being the man he is (affectionate) would survive no problem.

i think aaron would manage to survive by sheer luck and the exy racket that he spawned with. he would beat the werewolves to death.

matt is a fucking tank. he'd body those werewolves.

renee would survive without a doubt, she could fist fight the werewolves and win. whether she does that or not is up for debate, but she has dan and allison at her side. that trio would make it out alive.

dan would keep them all in line, though, and make sure they handled this together. she's captain for a reason and is damn good at her job and i think that would apply here as well.

the foxes are resourceful and they are very capable.

they got this.

PERHAPS i am being too generous with their skills and perhaps i am heavily biased wanting them to live because i love them so much.

but they are also a team of wild, traumatized kids that play exy. they would survive.

i'll probably come back to this at some point when i am capable of forming coherent sentences and can go into more depth about why i think they'd all live. if i remember. ✨

[peachdoodledump]

i will never shut up about green and tsc's dynamic. These two bring me so much comfort when i see them together, and they hit every aspect i consider when pairing two characters. i love them so much 😭💚🧡

they bring each other up when they need it, they know each other so well that they can fight against their strengths but they know they can rely on each other so MUCH that they balance one another when the situation calls for it. And! Green is closest to TSC! (According to Alan)

they're strong individually, but they are stronger together, and they work well as a team! Both are equally competitive, talented, resourceful, and accepting while having behaviors that differ from each other! These differences don't work against them because of their trust!

and that is the foundation for any friendship or relationships in general! they can rely on one another when they need to. Green knows how capable TSC is, and TSC knows how Green can handle a situation on his own, but when they're forced to separate, it hurts them a LOT

i love pairings that don't make the other person inferior or superior. because being in a relationship is a two-way street, and both of the parties involved must collaborate to build towards a lasting goal. being a partner is being a friend and a teammate. you don't have to be the same, you just have to work well together!

and i think Green and TSC execute that perfectly 💚🧡

[wasteland-squog-baby]

we’re cyber bullying people who post about tsc on tumblr in the tsc general chat hop on

No that's unjust, good people don't deserve to be bullied for simple, harmless hobbies, even more so if they've created a space to enjoy said thing, the fact that you desperately hide in anonymous space concerns me further to your motive, I may not be some shining soul, but I know damn well better than to shit on innocent people. Now kindly get the fuck off my blog before those who actually need anon to comfortably communicate with me have to lose that important resource.

Bridging the Gap: Tackling Kenya’s Healthcare Accessibility Challenges

Kenya’s healthcare system has made notable progress in recent years, yet one persistent issue continues to impact millions: unequal access to quality medical care. The divide between urban and rural healthcare remains wide, with infrastructure, staffing, and affordability creating barriers to consistent service delivery outside major cities.

While government programs continue to push for Universal Health Coverage (UHC), a significant portion of Kenya’s healthcare advancements are being driven by private sector leaders. One such figure is Jayesh Saini, the founder of Lifecare Hospitals, Bliss Healthcare, and Dinlas Pharma, whose mission has centered on delivering quality, affordable care beyond traditional urban hubs.

This article explores Kenya’s healthcare accessibility challenges and highlights how strategic leadership and private-sector innovation are helping to bridge the gap between underserved and well-served populations.

1. The Urban-Rural Divide in Healthcare Access

1.1 Disparities in Infrastructure and Facilities

Urban centers like Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu host the majority of well-equipped hospitals and specialist clinics.

Rural counties often rely on under-resourced health centers or dispensaries, with limited beds, diagnostic tools, or trained personnel.

According to national statistics, over 50% of Kenyans live in rural areas, yet most advanced medical care is concentrated in a few cities.

1.2 Distance, Cost, and Delayed Treatment

Patients in remote regions may travel 50–100 km or more for specialist care.

High transport costs and long waiting times often result in delayed diagnosis or missed treatment, especially for chronic or life-threatening conditions.

Lack of nearby pharmacies and diagnostic labs further complicates care continuity.

2. How Private Hospitals Are Helping Close the Gap

2.1 Lifecare Hospitals: A Rural-Centric Growth Model

Under the leadership of Jayesh Saini, Lifecare Hospitals has:

Expanded to seven counties, offering over 700 beds with specialist departments in oncology, cardiology, nephrology, and orthopedics.

Established hospitals in underserved regions, reducing travel time and improving access to critical services.

Designed its service model around NHIF-accredited care, ensuring affordability for rural populations.

By decentralizing care, Lifecare is helping build healthcare equity across Kenya.

2.2 Bliss Healthcare: Expanding Outpatient Networks

Bliss Healthcare, also founded by Saini, operates over 100 outpatient centers—many located in peri-urban and rural counties. These facilities offer:

Primary and preventive care

Laboratory diagnostics

Mental health support

Chronic disease management, such as diabetes and hypertension care

Bliss has partnered with public sector institutions like TSC and NPS, providing accessible care to public servants across the country.

2.3 Pharmaceutical Support via Dinlas Pharma

Access to care also depends on access to medicines. Dinlas Pharma, founded by Saini, supports accessibility through:

Local manufacturing of 140 million tablets and 25 million capsules per month

Nationwide distribution networks ensuring medication reaches even remote counties

Keeping drug prices affordable by reducing import dependency

This supply chain stability ensures that treatment is not just prescribed—but available and affordable.

3. Key Barriers to Rural Healthcare Access in Kenya

3.1 Inadequate Staffing and Skill Gaps

Many rural facilities lack specialists and rely on overburdened general practitioners.

Patients often require referrals to distant urban centers for even moderate complications.

3.2 Limited Health Education and Outreach

Communities may lack awareness about disease prevention, early symptoms, or available health services.

Cultural beliefs and stigma further prevent some groups from seeking timely care.

3.3 Infrastructure and Equipment Constraints

Basic amenities like electricity, running water, and internet remain unreliable in many remote health centers.

Diagnostic delays and lack of emergency care remain a critical challenge.

4. Strategic Solutions for Improving Accessibility

4.1 Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships

Collaborations between government and private providers can bring more specialized care to rural hospitals, with shared investment and responsibilities.

Jayesh Saini’s institutions regularly partner with county health departments to support public-sector needs.

4.2 Telemedicine and Mobile Health

Platforms used by Bliss Healthcare allow rural patients to consult with doctors without traveling long distances.

Mobile clinics and outreach programs offer vaccinations, screenings, and health education in hard-to-reach areas.

4.3 Capacity Building and Incentivizing Rural Practice

Offering incentives for health workers to serve in rural areas, along with ongoing training, can close the skills gap.

Institutions like Lifecare are training local staff and working with universities to develop the next generation of rural-based clinicians.

5. The Broader Impact of Private-Sector Leadership

5.1 Equity and Inclusion

By expanding operations to counties previously overlooked by major healthcare investors, leaders like Jayesh Saini are making equity a business priority.

Thousands of patients who previously lacked access to advanced diagnostics or specialist care can now receive life-saving treatment locally.

5.2 Economic Development and Job Creation

Hospitals in rural areas create jobs for medical professionals, administrative staff, and support workers.

Healthier communities also result in stronger local economies due to improved productivity and reduced disease burden.

5.3 Strengthening National Health Systems

The private sector’s growth helps decongest public hospitals and brings innovation, efficiency, and scalability to the national healthcare system.

Conclusion

Tackling healthcare accessibility in Kenya requires a multi-pronged, collaborative approach. The urban-rural divide can only be narrowed through leadership that prioritizes not just profits, but impact and inclusion.

Jayesh Saini’s work through Lifecare Hospitals, Bliss Healthcare, and Dinlas Pharma demonstrates that when healthcare expansion is driven by strategy, compassion, and sustainability, it’s possible to reach the communities that need it most. His institutions offer a proven model of how private sector leadership can bridge the healthcare accessibility gap—and reshape Kenya’s healthcare future.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who is Jayesh Saini? Jayesh Saini is a Kenyan healthcare entrepreneur and founder of Lifecare Hospitals, Bliss Healthcare, and Dinlas Pharma. His work focuses on expanding quality, affordable care to underserved communities across Kenya.

Why is healthcare access unequal in Kenya? Urban areas have more hospitals, specialists, and infrastructure, while rural regions often lack basic services, leading to delays in care and worse health outcomes.

How are private hospitals improving rural healthcare? By building facilities in underserved counties, launching outreach programs, offering telemedicine, and integrating with public insurance schemes like NHIF.

What role does Dinlas Pharma play in accessibility? Dinlas Pharma produces affordable, essential medicines locally and distributes them across all 47 counties—making treatment accessible even in the most remote areas.

Reshaping Public Perception: How Kenyan Healthcare Leaders Are Building Trust in Medical Services

In any healthcare system, public trust is the foundation of effective care delivery. Without it, even the most advanced hospitals or well-funded programs struggle to make an impact. In Kenya, historical concerns about affordability, access, quality, and medical ethics have contributed to skepticism toward both public and private healthcare institutions.

But today, a new generation of healthcare leaders is working to reshape public perception—not through promises, but through consistent service delivery, transparency, ethical practices, and community engagement. Among these leaders is Jayesh Saini, the founder of Lifecare Hospitals, Bliss Healthcare, and Dinlas Pharma, who has emerged as a key figure in building trust across Kenya’s healthcare landscape.

This article explores how healthcare leaders like Saini are restoring confidence in medical services by prioritizing integrity, patient-centered care, and inclusive outreach, creating systems that are both trusted and accessible.

1. The Trust Gap in Kenyan Healthcare

1.1 Historical Challenges

Overcrowded public hospitals, limited resources, and long wait times have often led to patient dissatisfaction.

Instances of overcharging, misdiagnoses, or lack of transparency in parts of the private sector have eroded public trust.

In rural and low-income areas, many view medical care as unaffordable or inaccessible, reinforcing reliance on informal providers or self-medication.

1.2 Rebuilding Through Leadership

Restoring trust requires more than infrastructure—it demands leadership that prioritizes empathy, communication, and ethics. Hospital administrators, doctors, and healthcare entrepreneurs are increasingly embracing this challenge with measurable impact.

2. Jayesh Saini: A Trust-Driven Model of Healthcare Leadership

2.1 Patient-Centered Culture at Lifecare Hospitals

At Lifecare Hospitals, Jayesh Saini has fostered an environment where:

Quality and compassion go hand-in-hand—with a focus on dignity, transparency, and personalized care.

Clear communication and transparent billing practices reassure patients and their families.

Patient feedback systems are integrated into hospital operations, helping improve service delivery and responsiveness.

With seven hospitals across Kenya, Lifecare has earned a reputation for reliable, specialist-driven care that is both accessible and patient-focused.

2.2 Ethical Practices and Community Outreach at Bliss Healthcare

Bliss Healthcare operates over 100 outpatient centers and emphasizes:

Outreach programs and mobile clinics in underserved communities

Health education campaigns focused on preventive care

Partnerships with public institutions like the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and National Police Service (NPS) to offer subsidized NHIF-covered care

These initiatives build community-level trust by showing that private healthcare can be a public good.

2.3 Pharmaceutical Integrity at Dinlas Pharma

With Dinlas Pharma, Saini ensures:

Affordable, high-quality, locally produced medicines

Strict compliance with pharmaceutical manufacturing regulations

Transparent distribution to all 47 counties in Kenya

This commitment to drug accessibility and ethical pricing fosters trust in both the supply chain and treatment outcomes.

3. Core Strategies Used by Kenyan Healthcare Leaders to Build Trust

3.1 Community Engagement and Health Education

Leaders are investing in public education on disease prevention, chronic care, and early diagnosis.

Regular community health drives and open forums help demystify healthcare processes and promote proactive health-seeking behavior.

By meeting people where they are—physically and emotionally—healthcare institutions are becoming more approachable.

3.2 Ethical Medical Practices and Professional Standards

A renewed focus on medical ethics, consent, and confidentiality has become central to care delivery.

Private hospitals are promoting transparent pricing, service clarity, and zero tolerance for malpractice.

Staff are trained not only in clinical skills but in communication, empathy, and ethics—elements that are essential for building lasting trust.

3.3 Consistency and Reliability in Service Delivery

Trust grows when facilities consistently offer timely, safe, and high-quality care.

Institutions like Lifecare and Bliss Healthcare provide:

24/7 emergency services

Follow-up care systems

Digitally accessible patient records and teleconsultations

3.4 Alignment with National Health Priorities

Leaders like Jayesh Saini work closely with NHIF and county health departments, ensuring that services are affordable and aligned with national goals like Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

This alignment positions private healthcare as a partner—not a competitor—of the public system, strengthening public confidence.

4. The Impact of Trust-Building in Healthcare

4.1 Increased Health-Seeking Behavior

Patients are more likely to seek early care, adhere to treatment, and participate in preventive programs when they trust the system.

In communities served by Bliss Healthcare and Lifecare Hospitals, there has been a measurable rise in outpatient visits, screenings, and specialist consultations.

4.2 Enhanced Patient Outcomes

Trust leads to better communication, diagnosis accuracy, and adherence to treatment, all of which improve health outcomes.
