get in losers we're killing caesar.

I really liked this design, and also I didn’t own any plates (bc bowls are awesome), so I made this! It was a lot of fun lol!

Turtle Moon and Back

I’ve been listing to “Turtles all the Way Down” on audio book from the library, and as someone with OCD who has avoiding reading the book for a long time, I have found it absolutely wonderful, hilarious, relatable, and just deeply enjoyable. The title reminded me of the space turtle episode of dear Hank and John, which I always see in my head as a turtle hugging the moon.

corn!

damn this same picture of Dave Coulier ever day is just the best.

my bestie is always going on about how she wants to live in the *big city* but she can’t deal with the night screams we hear outside our small town apartment. Like I love you girlie but let’s be real Patrice, do you think there are not night screams in New York? I bet they night scream a lot in New York.

Today I DMed a game for a group of friends in person for the first time in years, and it was so stinking amazing! They were all newbies, but seemed to really enjoy it. I have been running public dnd games for the last few years now, which I absolutely love, but there’s something so special about playing a game with a group of close friends, and the trust and interaction in those games.

I heard there's a TB outbreak in Kansas right now?? Do you know if there's anything we can do to help?

There is ongoing spread of TB in Kansas--so far, 67 cases of active disease.

I want to be clear this is a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall global burden of tuberculosis: 10,000,000 people get sick with TB every year, and 1,250,000 die (almost all of whom die unnecessarily--TB is curable).

It's also a small fraction of the U.S. burden of TB--we have about 10,000 cases of TB annually in the U.S. It's an airborne disease, so we shouldn't be surprised that people are getting sick. We should be horrified that we're allowing so many people to get sick even though TB is both curable and preventable. (We can stop chains of infection by offering preventative antibiotics to close contacts of the sick.)

We should absolutely be worried about TB in the United States. An airborne disease that's allowed to infect and sicken ten million people each year is an ongoing threat to all humans. But we should also remember that while we worry about a hypothetical TB pandemic, much of the world has never emerged from the TB pandemic that has lasted for thousands of years and killed many billions of people.

Should you be worried about contracting TB? Yes. But you should mostly be worried that the U.S. government has paused all TB funding, which will increase antibiotic resistance, needless death, and the risk that untreatable versions of the disease will emerge and spread.

“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?
