humbling

people saying "write what you want to see in the world!" and that's always a good sentiment but this post isn't really about "oh no there's no content for my ship", more the feeling of "i looked up something that i thought was so obvious that surely plenty of more seasoned ao3 perverts would have thought of it already, but apparently i'm the weird one"

please i miss him everyday

"Taking care of you"

I never actually thought about what happens with person’s body when they are bedridden, but then I saw how my great-aunt took care of her husband and wow that was touching!! To put so much effort in someone who can’t even respond because you love then so deeply.. that's how I understand it and I hope it shows in this comics<3

I accidentally stumbled upon this elderly gay man’s website last night, it’s been active since the 90s and has pages talking about his personal life as a gay cowboy it’s super interesting! he has webcams running on it that refresh every minute or so and pages about his experiences with HIV and cancer - he also has a massive archive of gay magazine scans (18+) from the 70s up to the 90s! 

far from prudish but just got blazed porn of someone's pussy spread out so hard and up close like it's a map of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth and I'm king and grand duke sigismund II augustus inspecting his lands to plot defense against the swedes

oh man be careful with iv iron. i’ve had it, and it makes me incredibly ill (literally thought i was going to die alone in my dorm the first time). i need to be pre-medicated with mega doses of prednisone and benadryl beforehand.

docs never explained what causes the reaction, and i was like 22 and didn’t know what questions to ask, so it’s still a big mystery for me lol. so i don’t have any other info there.

Anaphylaxis from iron IV can happen. I’m aware of it as a mast cell patient and that’s why they’re sending me to hematology for evaluation first.

Nobody knows mast cells better than oncology and hematology.

Huh, iirc there are multiple types of iron ivs, so I wonder if some of them are known to commonly interact better/worse with mast cells - hematology is bound to know whether that’s the case.

Please share their wisdom with tumblr if they tell you?

Absolutely!

me! me! me! i know this one, @thebibliosphere!!!

so the best option, which is sometimes a little harder to get (damn insurance), is feraheme / ferumoxytol. it's a corn derivative, minimal anaphylaxis risk. i've had it before at the height of my own mcas bullshit & had zero reaction. failing that, the next best option is iron sucrose.

the most infamous cause of anaphylaxis with iron infusions is high molecular weight iron dextran. it was so bad (even without mast cell problems or a history of allergies) that it's no longer available, but the low molecular weight iron dextran option is, and the risk is still higher there than with other options.

there's always a risk, but generally if you can get the infusion in a proper infusion center, the nurses are happy to watch for it -- they're used to it, because chemo carries a higher risk of the same stuff

(editing to add, forgot to mention, even after feraheme my ferritin was only up to like 35 from a low of 6 [insert unit i can't remember here]. some people are just fucked. have fun finding out if you're like me! good luck!)

Thank you for this!!

Oddly specific. Got a deposit for 6,837 today

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

Everyone needs a sicko to bounce ideas off of. It's necessary to survive any fandom ever.

when will mine return from war

Wisteria Wizards ✨. no one asked for these, i just felt like doing some wizard character design.

here are two older wizards and their apprentices dressed up for some fall witch festival. the Wisteria sect of wizards are chill with witches. many of them grew up learning witchcraft instead of wizardry and/or escaped wizarding school to seek out alternative magic styles (and because wizard school sucks. magic is dangerous and if you start exhibiting Wizard Symptoms then you absolutely need a mentor and support system to help you through it but Jesus Christ. no school should have it's own cemetery.)

Fun Facts:

first wizard's parasol is actually a staff and a crystal ball that's sort of "unfolded". he's a fan of corsets and his big naturals come from him being a rare dwarf with gigantism. He/Him unless he's in dwarven company where she uses She/Her. personal gender male, cultural gender female.

second wizard uses a prosthetic hand for a wand. great wand, less great hand. using it as a hand can actually take more effort than using it as a wand because he has to think about any super fine movements unless he sets it to mirror his other hand. This isn't the biggest problem because he rarely changes its position or uses it for complicated actions outside of spells. he was born with one arm and that's what he's used to. all of this is, of course, less important than the fact that he has a little dragon familiar named Yogurt that likes to be carried around like a sleepy stress ball. this is inconvenient but adorable.

third wizard? a bad bitch with great fashion. that's all. yes that cloak is alive, what of it?

fourth wizard isn't good enough at hiding his Symptoms yet but he's trying his best.

I finally started watching Star Trek Discovery and I was not ready for this fine man.

AT ALL! and yet I knew he was in there!!!?????

"It's a pity we never met Prime Lorca. I'd be interesting to see Jason Isaacs break the typecasting and play a genuine nice Picard style paragon captain."

Star Trek TOS: what if the captain was a slut who got in fights all the time and did whatever the hell he wanted and it all sort of worked out anyway

TNG: what if the captain drank tea and gave speeches instead

DS9: what if the captain was a single father and religious figure trying to hold onto his morals in the face of an existential threat

Voyager: what if the captain was trying to get her unruly scout troop back home and also she had a GUN

Enterprise: what if the captain was a massive dweeb

Kelvin timeline: what if the first guy was actually a horny frat boy

Disco: what if the captain was a cryptofascist? no wait, what if he was just sooooooo handsome, like so mind-meltingly handsome that is just feels unfair? wait, what if he was a deer? no actually what if she did whatever the hell she wanted, but also felt emotions about it?

Picard: what if the captain was a secondary character driven into solitude by his PTSD, and then we suddenly replaced him with some dipshit from Chicago

Lower Decks: what if the captain was your well-meaning perfectionist mother

Prodigy: what if the captain was a purple teenager

SNW: what if the captain was your dad

Link to shop

A lot of love, time and effort went into this shop. And I will continue to add items there, so feel free to give me suggestions! Also, meet my representation of well, myself! It's a dragon based on a trout. So a trout dragon. If you catch this thing in a river that's me please release me 🥺

funniest thing ever is when an ao3 author starts a fic purely for smut reasons and then it somehow spirals completely out of their control until its an an ongoing almost 200k word fic with plot more complex than the source material and character study that deserves them a place in the writers room. like I'm so sorry u just wanted to write them fucking but the demons got u huh

soooo many fics I've read end up like this lmaooo and I love it
