    If you catch yourself before you begin the infodump you get to hit them with the intensely cryptic,“how much do you want to know?” which is 10/10 keeper of the deep wisdom vibes and also gives people a chance to opt out if they’re not in a good place to receive the deep wisdom on 18th century wig fashions.




  • I mostly write porn.

    One story is years old and it’s an illithid that runs away from the commune with a captive they couldn’t quite make into a thrall. I’ve hit a wall with that one because they’ve run away to the drow now and I suck at political intrigue. I think I need to go back and delete even a few of the chapters on ao3. I’ve gone back and forth over the years as to whether or not to keep the sex scene but I’ve got it mostly written the story just isn’t there yet.

    One is a femdom alternate reality where society has just always been matriarchal. Instead of having women who act more masculine and beat men and make them crawl in the floor and eat shit while wearing panties or whatever it’s just a world where all the same stereotypes exist they’re just exaggerated in a way that flatters women more than men. Like “boys will be boys” is an idea used to keep men out of politics and academia instead of an excuse for bad behavior. The big thing examined is how lower class men are considered disposable for the purposes of dangerous jobs.

    I’m currently working on a fanfiction for the consentacle card game about a first contact delegation where the aliens are like “ok so before we establish an embassy we need to figure out how to have safe sex because we know it’s gonna happen” and the humans are like wait so the rest of the universe is also horny all the time? And they’re like OBVIOUSLY.

    I also half finished a Blake’s 7 fic before my fascination with the show died back and now I’m worried I wouldn’t be able to finish it with the same faithfulness to the source material that made it so appealing to readers to begin with.



  • My rec was gonna be the biddy tarot since it’s a modern / inclusive version of the rws which is some of the most common imagery used in themed decks so if she decides to get a Pokémon themed deck or whatever later the imagery will translate well (I have a cat meme deck and an emoji deck in addition to my traditional rws deck). Comparing the imagery across themed interpretations of the RWS is FASCINATING and has taken up a significant part of my last two years. The biddy is about 2x what you’re asking though so let me see what else I can find…



  • Inhaled meds work almost instantly, 99% of oral meds take up to an hour to even hit the bloodstream, often more to hit peak blood concentration. If inhaled meds aren’t working you don’t have time for an oral med to work; at that point you’re tubing the person.

    A corticosteroid also has way too many side effects to be taken long term, like another user said. Long term you’re talking one of the more targeted immune modifying drugs like singulair.

    Now what you would still use a corticosteroid for is an acute exacerbation that’s not an emergency. So like, pneumonia where you’ve got the person on a shitton of antibiotics and you need their inflammation to sit down and shut up for a second while they work. So their throat hasn’t actually started closing up yet but it might try if you don’t use the steroid.

    Hope this helps.

    (I do see some people saying best practice is shifting away from this; I work psychiatry so our patients aren’t always getting top of the line care. I take whatever bones the hospitalist deigns to throw us, LOL)

    I’ve seen a lone cat take a black bear before but I think most toddlers could handle a black bear as long as it’s not a mother with children. One time on here I joked that high alcohol consumption for a few years is probably worse for you than a light mauling from a black bear and somebody got pissy enough to comment / report saying I was spreading misinformation and a) that’s clearly a joke but also b) tell me you didn’t grow up rural LOL because everybody knows if you see a black bear you can usually just puff up and yell at it. I’ve seen cats tree black bears.
