Little By Little

Synopsis: One where Harry finds out his girl is struggling with ED (Requested)

CW: mentions of ED, please put your mental health first and read with caution. And remember, you're not alone in this, you are brave, you are strong. And I love you so much! *Kissie noises*

More of my work

Harry and YN had been basically living together at this point.

They've been together for about three years and Harry had somehow now managed to convince her to stay over for the weekend and she never left. He certainly isn't complaining because he asked her to stay with him.

But lately he's been seeing her food being left over. Both of them worked, Harry is filming a movie in London and also recording his fourth studio album, YN's working on her little boutique she's so proud of as she should be. So they'd made a little rule of at least eating one meal together, he'd volunteered to make them breakfast every morning (because honestly that's the only meal he can cook without burning down his kitchen) as YN hates early mornings. So he leaves her a plate of her own. Though he waits for her to wake up and get ready for the day before he leaves for work himself. YN has switched to working from home since the Covid hit and has chose to do the same, especially when her firm didn't mind that either, it also gave her time to work on some freelancing as a Photo and Video editor aside from having a desk job a software developer.

Today, Harry was so excited to go home today. He was going to ask her to completely just move in with him. She paid the rent this month for no apparent reason, he just didn't wanted her to waste her earning like that if she's not living at her flat anymore. Or if she changes her time and needs more time, by all means he is ready to support her through.

But he would be lying if he hadn't got used to living with her, going to bed with her and waking upto her gorgeous self everyday now. He felt so whole with her now. He even wants to pop question to her, especially since she's always been so vocal about how important it was to her. He's even gone as far to take his mum with him to find a perfect ring for her.

Tonight he didn't wanted either of them cook so he got food from YN's favourite restaurant on his way back home. When he got back, he found her fast asleep on the sofa, it was Friday night he noticed then. She has Fridays and Saturdays off from work.

He didn't wake her up instead he proceeded to transfer all off the fold out of the plastic trying to make as less noise as he could knowing how much of a light sleeper his girl is. After be put lids on all of the food thermoses — great investment YN made him do — he went to check in on her before he proceeded to clean up. She had a bad habit of covering up her face with the blanket and it scares it that she's going to suffocate herself even though she's assured him many times that she can breath in just fine.

He also found it a tiny bit odd seeing her asleep in late afternoon as she's not the one to take naps but, she had much more commissioned work to do she must've been tired. Shrugging it off Harry padded his wak to the living room.

And he was just right!

She had that damn blanker over her face. He crouched next to her.

"Hey, baby, do you wanna wake up?" He called tugging the blanket off her face, "lemme see you gorgeous, I missed you today!" He cooed when she wouldn't let go.

"Five minutes!" She whined.

"Okay, but lemme see you." He requested, "there you are!" He celebrated quietly seeing her face after long hours of the day. "Hello, my love." He leans down to kiss her forehead.

"Hi," she looked at him surprised, "you came early today?"

"Mhmm," he nodded, "thought we could spend some time together for the weekend."

"Oh, I'm sorry I fell asleep watching TV." She flops on her back to look at the TV was turned off, it must have turned off on it's own as it was left unattended. She did planned to watch favourite bakery YouTuber but she just fell asleep.

"It's alright," he assured her, "do you want to wake up now?"

"Mhmm." She nodded sitting up straight midway of her yawning out her tiredness away.

"You had a good sleep?" He proceeded to take a seat in front of her, she nods again as she wraps her arms around his middle for a quick cuddle. Taking the smell of his cologne, sweet, cold and earthy tones laced with hints of sandal wood, he always smelled like he'd just gotten out of a steamy souna. "I brought your favourite so you won't have to cook tonight." He shared, snaking his own arms around her.

It was her turn to cook tonight. Mainly every dinner was on her because she really fears Harry's either going to loose a finger or two in attempt of chopping veggies and stuff or burn down his beautiful home. So she just takes it upon herself to make food.

"You did?" Her voice came as a muffle against his chest.

"Yeah," he caressed her hair gently, "do you want to go out on a walk before we eat?"

"No, we can just stay in and watch a movie or something." She suggested, pulling away from his embrace politely.

"Yeah, we can do that." He agrees, anything to spend more time with her. Though they both haven't been out since past three weeks, at he goes out for work but she haven't left her house. Even to run her errands. She instead opts to get everything home delivered.

"Okay." She said pushing the blanket off her body noticing Harry was leaning in to steal a little kiss but she moves back, watching him cant his head and look at her confusedly. "I just woke up from a long nap."

"I don't mind." He chuckled, "haven't we had morning sex many, many times?"

She sighs watching him a little hurt and press her mouth onto his in a tender kiss. He kisses her back regardless with same love.

"I need to pee so bad!" She exclaims, trying to find energy to get up. Harry giggles at her adorable laziness and watches her make a run for the bathroom.

He walks back to the kitchen and cleans up all the mess he made, wiping down the counter where he managed to spill drops of gravy and bits of rice with paper towel. He threw away all the trash and noticed she hasn't taken it out today, so he took that out himself. He made himself and his love some tea. Opening the fridge to get milk for YN's tea he saw plate of waffles he left for her today.

She didn't even take a bite frim it. He also found little storage containers with more breakfast foods he made from four days ago. Haven't she been eating? Has she been eating out? He wondered.

Harry took out all the spoilt food from the fridge to throw it away but he kept it on the counter to wait for her come back out. He is well aware that he isn't the best at cooking but she could have told him not to make her anything. Yes, it would have hurt him but not this much.

"You didn't eat you breakfast." He spoke when he saw her walking back down the stairs. Caught, she almost tripped down.

"Be careful!" He rushed towards her rather quickly, holding onto her. YN shook her head jerkingly as if she was not trying to be dizzy. "Hey what's wrong, sweetheart? You alright?" She clung onto him like a koala.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good." She nodded and stood back on het feet. Harry still walked to the sofa and her sit down as he fetched her some water. He sat next to her. "Baby what's wrong? Did you start your period?" He enquired, nit to be offensive but she does tend to feel dizzy or even pass out when she's on her period.

"No, I didn't." She gulped down half of that glass of water he gave her in one go.

It clicked to him, "did you not eat at all today? Not even the snacks I got you yesterday from the grocery trip?"

"No, I just fell asleep watching TV." She said, which entirely wasn't the truth but it was.

"I, uh, baby you need to tell me what is going on, okay? Of course you haven't been falling asleep from past four days, have you?" He was being too harsh with his interrogation so he stopped there waiting for her to answer. She just opted to drink from her water instead, so he pulled her closer to his side.

YN just leaned into his touch there. She hasn't been feeling quite good in her skin recently. So many reasons to unpack but she never felt like talking to him about it. He has helped her through many of her low, he's calmer and seems to think thoroughly in moments of crisis and she's so grateful to have found him.

Oh she couldn't list many things why she was feeling this way. Which she did not felt is right to talk about but the feeling of her stomach empty felt eerily right to her, lile it always did. She bas gotten over this in past and she's sure she can do it this time too. She loves food and she can't stay away from it really.

She did ate dinner with Harry every night. Though she served herself, quarter of what she eats, but ends up throwing up in the middle of the night in the downstairs bathroom. She just doesn't want to burden Harry with this. He's already pretty stressed with his next year's spring summer collection to be bothered by her.

"Hey, it's okay my darling angel," she heard Harry coo to her realising she has been sobbing now. "You know you can talk to me right, YN?"

"Mhmm." She nodded. "I don't know, I don't know what's, what's wrong I just want to go to bed." Her voice low like a sad whining little puppy between her cries. She's sure which are ugly too.

"Already?" He enquired which made her cry even more so it scared him. For the first time Harry didn't know how to help her or even know what was actually going on. "It's okay we'll talk about it when you're ready, okay? You want to watch TV instead?" And she just nodded.

Harry took the empty glass of water from her and kept it on the coffee table, he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV to play one of her favourite movie. He didn't even bother to change as he got her comfy next to him under the blanket she was wearing earlier. She looked up at him when she could feel his gaze on her, he just placed an assuring hand on her cheek.

"It's okay, I'm here." He whispered to her with a kiss on her forehead. YN just rested her head on his chest as she stared at the TV trying not to fall asleep on her problems the best she could.

"I, I think I wanna go on a walk." She suggested.

"Yeah?" He smiled at her, "lemme grab a jumper for you real quick then." He carefully peeled herself from her urging her to go put her shoes on, a little no-shoes-inside custom he's grown to follows since her stay. He ran upstairs to get her one of his hoodies which he helped her slip of as well put his own jacket on as it was getting a bit chilly outside.

"My baby," he tugged her closer to him, "our neighbours are getting Christmas spirit, aren't they?" He pointed out, little gruesome Halloween decorations already have been swapped with happy Christmas decorations. It made her feel that much more calmer.

"Yeah. We should put up some decorations too." She suggested looking around.

"We can do that tomorrow," he agreed. "Feel any better?"

"Mhmm." She sounded, "don't feel like talking about it."

"That's okay, whenever you're ready baby." He pressed a kiss on top of her head. It wasn't that late so they took the bus to the mall to look around for a Christmas tree. "We should get a real one."

"No, it's gonna die by the end of the week." YN chuckled at his suggestion. "We can reuse these ones."

"That's boring. A real would be eco-friendly options."

"Not when you'll have to buy another one to be put on actual Christmas day." She pulled him to the little gift section to look for inspiration to buy presents for his mum and sister. Whilst her parents didn't approved of Harry, his family welcomed her very warmly into theirs.

When they went back home, Harry tried to serve them dinner he bought with him. YN didn't say much but pushed around her food after taking three bites waiting Harry to finish up.

"Sunshine you didn't eat anything." He cooed to her, "a little more?"

"No, I, I ate." She shook her head, "I'm just not that hungry."

"Why not baby?" He pulled his chair closer to hers seeing tears brim in her eyes behind her glasses, "hey lovie, it's okay you can tell me."

"It just feels good to not to," she admitted, "I just don't want to eat."

"Well you gotta fuel your body, don't you? Why do you feel that way, hmm, do you wanna tell me?" He asked, carefully reaching for her hands in her lap.

"I don't know. It feels better to feel hungry and not eat. I deserve it." She choked, "I don't want to do that. But I don't want to feel this way either. I don't know what is going. I, I don't know what do!"

"Hey, c'mere." He got up picking her up with her legs wrapped around his hips as he walked upto their bedroom, somewhere she's more comfortable to talk. He tucked her under their blanket as he slipped next to her. She cried in his chest. "No one deserves to be hungry, okay? Especially my girl. It is going to be difficult but we can make things better."

"I don't mean to cry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She cried even more.

"It's okay to cry, lovie, don't ever apologise for that." He held onto her tightly, "please don't take this a wrong way, okay? Do you think you want to get professional help? If not then it's fine, we'll figure out a way to make you better."

"I don't know," was her answer.

"That's alright!" He assured her, "you can take it all little by little okay? What do you say we start from tomorrow morning?"

"Mhm!" She nodded, "I want to sleep now."

"Of course my baby, go to sleep I'll be here when you wake up."

.....................................................................

It's been long six months now.

Harry had been trying to help his girl the best he could. It made him happy when she recently agreed on, he'd drove her to her therapist's office just this morning on his way to work.

Meanwhile they've been going on morning and evening walks, it helped her though it was not enough. But at least it was getting her somewhere to begin with. She'd still try and stall her way out of it, but Harry's there by her side.

He went home early today, to make them a nice dinner. Nice Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, it was her favourites as she ordered it on their first lunch date. He had Shania Twain playing in the background in low volume, as he sang along to her putting together a dinner.

"Where did you come from?" He heard his surprised girlfriend, she was stopped in the middle of the living room with her bag hung over her shoulder and a little paper bag from the tech shop. She must have bought another SD card he figured.

"Work...?" He laughed knowing exactly what she meant. He's been working late so it was a surprise to her, "how is your day going so far?"

"Good, had to mail the SD I had to my client so I went to buy a new one." She held up the tiny paper bag in her hand, "I am never taking his projects again for sure."

"Why are they demanding?" He asked.

"He's been constantly emailing me to mail the SD to him so that his wedding pictures don't get posted anywhere else it's infuriating I made him pay for it!" She ranted in one go as she stomped in kitchen and got herself a glass of water.

"Karen, isn't he?" He chuckled making her giggle too.

"You know how expensive SD cards are. God!" She sighed. "What are you doing?"

"Making us dinner." He he was chopping up Tomatoes for the soup.

"Do you want me to help you?" She offered, "please?"

"Why not baby!" he agreed.

"I'll go change real quick, don't start without me." She said already making her way out of the kitchen.

"Oi, come back here now!" He faux-scolding made her stop dead in her tracks, she walked back to him, "gimme a kiss." He leaned down to match her height with a cheesy smile on his face.

Of course she leaned in, her small hand cupping his jaw in between her thumb and fingers gently. Looking him dead in the dead with the softest smile he's seen on anything, waiting for her to give him the kiss. She pulled back to his dismay.

"Ask nicely next time." She tried to run away but he is rather swift with his moment he caught her by her hips and turning her around started tickling her. "Ah, Harry!" She squirmed, giggling.

"Is this nice enough?" He teased her, tickling her sides where she's more ticklish.

"Stop," she grabbed onto his elbows to stop him, catching onto her breath. He got his kiss. She smeared her lips on his the smile never fading. "We should get rid of your shirts and tank tops."

God he looked so deliciously handsome in his white tank!

"Why so? You don't like 'em?" He asked, his nose skimming against her cheek, making butterflies go haywire in his tummy.

"I do, but I prefer you without them." Taking advantage of their closeness to place another kiss on his mouth.

He chuckled softly, "well then let's go upstairs and fix it, would you like that?"

"I'd love that." She agreed, "but not now, I've got work." With that she slipped through his arms.

"You cheeky monkey!" He smacked her bum before she ran upstairs laughing. He'll have his way with her later!

......................................................................

"Put some more!" YN whined at Harry being skimpy at adding spices.

"No, it's gonna be too spicy!"

"You are literally so white, move!" She pushed him to a side.

"Hey!" He whined but he let her do her thing. At least she's trying to be involved.

Finally being done with cooking, they both sat down at the coffee table on the floor with their favourite show on the TV.

Harry doesn't like to make it too obvious to her, but he's always been keeping an close eye at her eating habits now. Not to be creepy. Not to be disrespectful. But he's doing it just to keep up with her progress. She was doing great last week, eating at least one full meal.

He saw her taking just two bites off her grilled cheese and a few full spoons of soup before she stopped.

"Baby?"

"Hmm?" She looked at him.

"How was your first session today?" He enquired.

"We talked." She started, "he said that it'll take a few sessions to see we get along and stuff. But so far I, I think he can help me."

"Yeah? I'm so happy for you, baby!" He smiled, pulling her in a brief embrace. "I love you."

"I love you too." She smiled, seemingly contained. "I can't eat anymore." She said putting back the spoon her bowl.

"You want me to make you something else?" He suggested, "it's okay, you can eat more later."

"No," she shook her head in disagreement, "I don't feel like it. I'm sorry, I know you came home early to cook and all. It just tastes bitter to me I don't know why. Sorry."

"Hey, stop apologising, babylove." He cooed, "it's okay. I promise."

"This is so bad." Her voice cracked, "I don't feel like eating sometimes and when I do, everything tastes, so, so bad. I don't know." A few tears make their way down her cheeks, "I feel like I'm being ungrateful for everything you're doing for me. I promise I'm not, I'm trying."

"I'm so proud of you for trying to get better, my love." He hugged her again, "it's alright. I can't imagine what you're feeling right now but I can tell you, I've never once felt you're being ungrateful, okay? It's okay, do you feel like eating right now?"

"Mhmm." She nodded.

"You want me to make you something else?"

"This is going to go to waste." She cried even more, feeling there are many people out there who are hungry and deserve to be fed and she's waste it all by simply not eating. It was a big internal turmoil she had been going through.

"It won't, I'll eat this for lunch tomorrow." He assured her, "you want me to make you Ramen?"

"What if I don't feel like eating that too?"

"Then that's fine, baby you don't have to cry. Please?" He requested, not knowing how to make her feel better. "Okay, let's go on a walk and see how you feel, what do you say?"

"Yeah, I'd like that." She agreed.

......................................................................

Another six months later. YN was doing better. She had to switch her therapist but she has been recovering well and good.

N O T E :

This was so difficult to write 🥺 but I tried. I am not sure how this one's gonna do.

I also apologise for the lame ending. I don't know how I should have ended it.

AI and Therapy:

Not to be an alarmist, but I think it's important for the general public to be aware of this.

Simple Practice (one of the most popular tools for therapists to make appointments, store paperwork, etc.) is updating their terms of service to allow them to train AI on ANY USER CONTENT.

Yes, you read that correctly:

ONE OF THE MOST-USED THERAPY RECORDS SOFTWARE WILL NOW BE TRAINING AI ON MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS, FORMS, AND ANY OTHER "CONTENT" THAT PASSES THROUGH THEIR SYSTEM.

Unfortunately, you are not safe if you and your therapist don't use this system. Zoom has also recently updated their terms of service to allow for the same trawling of user data.

(I don't have evidence of it, but I would be very, VERY surprised if Therapy Mill apps haven't been doing this shit all along. The therapy app is 100% Uber for therapists. They're "disrupting" (i.e. destabilizing the labor market and depressing wages, regulation) under the guise of "convenience" but are probably planning to train AI therapists to replace all those pesky humans who keep asking for "enough money for groceries")

According to my clinical supervisor, there is no current writing about how this pertains to HIPAA, but it's probably not good news. This is especially true when Health Insurance companies have already been caught using AI-claim-denial-bots instead of doctors to make claim decisions.

That's right! If you're stuck paying out-of-pocket for your cancer, it might be because of A.I.! :)

Please, please, PLEASE alert your therapist to this problem, EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE THEM ONLINE BECAUSE PLENTY OF IN-PERSON THERAPISTS STILL USE SERVICES LIKE SIMPLE PRACTICE.

Fishbone #010

the human cost rolls downhill

5 source images, 9 layers.

I hate having to write this. I hate that this is a thing that happened to be written about.

In early 2024 a private virtual clinic providing medical care for a vulnerable and underserved patient demographic allegedly replaced 80% of its human staff with machine learning software.

As far as I can find this hasn't been reported on in the media so far and many of the details are currently not public record. I can't confirm how many staff were laid off, how many quit, how many remain, and how many of those are medics vs how many are admin. I can't confirm exact dates or software applications. This uncertainty about key details is why I'm not naming the clinic. I don't want to accidentally do a libel.

I'm not a journalist and ancestors willing researching this post is as close as I'll ever have to get. It's been extremely depressing. The patient testimonials are abundant and harrowing.

What I have been able to confirm is that the clinic has publicly announced they are "embracing AI," and their FAQs state that their "algorithms" assess patients' medical history, create personalised treatment plans, and make recommendations for therapies, tests, and medications. This made me scream out loud in horror.

Exploring the clinic's family of sites I found that they're using Zoho to manage appointment scheduling. I don't know what if any other applications they're using Zoho for, or whether they're using other software alongside it. Zoho provides office, collaboration, and customer relationship management products; things like scheduling, videocalls, document sharing, mail sorting, etc.

The clinic's recent Glassdoor reviews are appalling, and make reference to increased automation, layoffs, and hasty ai implementation.

The patient community have been reporting abnormally high rates of inadequate and inappropriate care since late February/early March, including:

Wrong or incomplete prescriptions

Inability to contact the clinic

Inability to cancel recurring payments

Appointments being cancelled

Staff simply failing to attend appointments

Delayed prescriptions

Wrong or incomplete treatment summaries

Unannounced dosage or medication changes

The clinic's FAQ suggests that this is a temporary disruption while the new automation workflows are implemented, and service should stabilise in a few months as the new workflows come online. Frankly I consider this an unacceptable attitude towards human lives and health. Existing stable workflows should not be abandoned until new ones are fully operational and stable. Ensuring consistent and appropriate care should be the highest priority at all times.

The push to introduce general-use machine learning into specialised areas of medicine is a deadly one. There are a small number of experimental machine learning models that may eventually have limited use in highly specific medical contexts, to my knowledge none are currently commercially available. No commercially available current generation general use machine learning model is suitable or safe for medical use, and it's almost certain none ever will be.

Machine learning simply doesn't have the capacity to parse the nuances of individual health needs. It doesn't have the capacity to understand anything, let alone the complexities of medical care. It amplifies bias and it "hallucinates" and current research indicates there's no way to avoid either. All it will take for patients to die is for a ML model to hallucinate an improper diagnosis or treatment that's rubber stamped by an overworked doctor.

Yet despite the fact that it is not and will never be fit for purpose, general use machine learning has been pushed fait accompli into the medical lives of real patients, in service to profit. Whether the clinic itself or the software developers or both, someone is profiting from this while already underserved and vulnerable patients are further neglected and endangered.

This is inevitable by design. Maximising profit necessitates inserting the product into as many use cases as possible irrespective of appropriateness. If not this underserved patient group, another underserved patient group would have been pressed, unconsenting, into unsupervised experiments in ML medicine--and may still. The fewer options and resources people have, the easier they are to coerce. You can do whatever you want to those who have no alternative but to endure it.

For profit to flow upwards, cost must flow downwards. This isn't an abstract numerical principle it's a deadly material fact. Human beings, not abstractions, bear the cost of the AI bubble. The more marginalised and exploited the human beings, the more of the cost they bear. Overexploited nations bear the burden of mining, manufacture, and pollution for the physical infrastructure to exist, overexploited workers bear the burden of making machine learning function at all (all of which I will write more about another day), and now patients who don't have the option to refuse it bear the burden of its overuse. There have been others. There will be more. If the profit isn't flowing to you, the cost is--or it will soon.

It doesn't have to be like this. It's like this because humans made it this way, we could change it. Indeed, we must if we are to survive.

B-8 : Sixty Years of The Beatles - The Memories of A Fan

As I write this article, I've started watching the Disney+ Series called The Beatles: Get Back. It was about the recording of Let It Be, their final album. It talked about the tension and differences among the Fab Four (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) and the end of an era of music.

What you're going to read is not a theoretical research paper about the history of the four Liverpool lads. It's not about their early stint as The Quarrymen, their original lineup with bassist Stuart Sutcliffe & drummer Pete Best, or their early gigs in Hamburg (Germany). It's not even about how manager Brian Epstein discovered the young talent, or for that matter - how Ringo replaced Pete Best as the drummer. It's about how a fan feels about it and its place in the fan's heart - as the band celebrated sixty years of its first album, Please Please Me (1963) - in March this year.

Talking a bit about myself, I first heard about the Beatles in a childhood story of John Lennon (1940-1980) that got published in Scharda Dubey's book The Best Days of Our Lives. I read it in September 2012. More than three years later (December 9, 2015), I came across a news story about the Beatles Ashram reopening at Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. I know the exact date because the previous day was the 35th death anniversary of Lennon. After reading it, I searched for them on YouTube - and that's when I heard the first ever song of The Beatles - We Can Work It Out. I kept to it for days before exploring the other musical gems. I was fourteen - and in ninth grade back then.

Every teenager faces adolescence-related problems (physical & emotional changes, insecurities, mental health, peer pressure, etcetera). For rescue comes a solution that proves to be life-changing. In my case, it was the music of the four lads from the unknown coastal city of Liverpool (not to mention that it became famous because of the band). Many of their contemporaries came along the way.

My personal Beatles souvenir Collection (Which I have maintained since 2016)

Coming back to The Beatles, my favorite Beatle was Lennon. Seeing them in live performances and music videos, I began practicing their songs on my keyboard - and eventually bought a guitar to match them. Like an ordinary obsessed fan, I bought souvenirs - guitar pics, music CDs, T-shirts, books, phone covers, etcetera online. I don't think any Indian fan could get such stuff in here that easily - even during the band's popularity years. They would get in the USA and UK - where such things would sell like hotcakes. I even made a poster at 15 about the band - which I pasted in my room.

Thanks to the band, I had quite a reputation as a music performer in school, college, and my locality. I would perform their covers at parties and musical events. Although, I couldn't play their songs in school. But thanks to them, I could look beneath myself to find the skills I possess. Hence, I decided to pursue entertainment journalism/writing. I often write similar songs - and try looking for a music producer to record them. When people suggest music software for completing the songs, I politely respond, "They won't have the same fun as the Beatles - and I want to keep that element in my songs."

As their first single, Love Me Do (1962), celebrated its diamond jubilee on October 5 last year - and their debut album on March 22, I can only say that the boys with the mop-tops are immortal and irreplaceable. Even today, I listen to the entire album the way I did seven years ago. I'm sure there are similar fans like me in different parts of the world - who admire the boys and express their admiration and obsession through various methods. With this, I put my pen down.

Weekly Update November 24, 2023

I’ve been in a weird state of delirium this whole week. I’ve been trying to get my health together more than anything else, so additional projects are a lot slower. This was furthered by the fact that I left not only my midi controller, but also my tablet cord at Uni, and thus couldn’t draw digitally or record new music. Also due to a number of social obligations and health appointments, didn’t have much time to draw traditionally nor animate, but I did a little.

First priority was health, and I’m not completely sure what we’re on. A previous doctor suspected ulcers, the current doctor suspected ulcers, I got prescribed a medicine for ulcers, the test came back: the bacteria that causes the ulcers was absent. We are suspecting my stomach aches and pain are the cause of my exhaustion, since I haven’t been eating because of them. I’ve been told to continue taking the medicine even though the test was negative, so I will. Hoping it’ll do something.

Animation: very slow due to my weird state but I got a bunch of keyframes on 1-4 Tim done yesterday. Should I get more time and get back into the swing of things, I can get tween framing him next week. I also may mess with more of Emile’s sketch lines, since only 1/3 have been reimported.

Surprisingly I was able to piece together a decent verse melody for the music project. I may still tweak it or try another one in case it’s better, but there is one that is good enough. I’ll throw together a couple more necessary Melodies and the song should be ‘done enough’ (done for till I get either a vocal synth software or enough confidence to try singing). Going well enough that I can power trip and throw together a smaller song on the side once I get access to my keyboard again.

Car ride back to uni tomorrow I can thumbnail out a comic. Thumbnailing will take a few days ideally because whenever I do it all in one day I look back and it looks like shit but the comic is already started so there’s no way to backpedal. I’ve watched a lot of movies with my mother and friend over break, I will try to continue watching more and pay better attention to shot comp since I think I struggle with that atm.

I’m going to try to keep up my health as much as I can. I think that’s the primary issue. If I can get anything done tonight in the way of drawings (like those last few inktober drawings) I’ll try to post them.

97000 Indians held trying to enter illegally - Ever wondered why?

According to US Customs and Border Protection data, a record-breaking 96,917 Indians were apprehended while unlawfully crossing into the US between October 2022 and September 2023. This marks a fivefold increase compared to 2019-20.

Although this news is not shocking to anyone, it is shocking when discussing the magnificence of our country. I've seen over the years that Indian expatriates write more about their affection for their own country. Regretfully, they have no desire to go back to India and aid in its growth. People who do not reside here are trolling those who write about the issues we face.

Our beloved Prime Minister is unquestionably a fantastic leader with a vision to improve India, but that doesn't mean that young people can’t voice their concerns and opinions. In reality, when you make your opinion in a civil manner, society benefits. Yes, in a polite way.

One of my cousins, who excelled in GTU's IT programme, was employed by a reputable private company in this area. She was earning a meagre wage while working a certain number of hours. Due to our large population, we have little opportunities and no labour laws. She later travelled to the USA. In less than a year, she managed to land a position as a software engineer, receiving a respectable salary in addition to recognition for her degree. She's also got her mental health back.

One of the women I met was having marital issues. Her life has gotten worse as a result of her decision to file for divorce. She needed to isolate herself from civilization. In society, even her parents experienced some form of psychological abuse. Her only goal in life was to move to Australia, live a dignified life, and become financially independent.

Here, girls are entitled to their parents' property, but if they have a boy, they are not entitled to it, and in such cases, they must stay at their parents' home as guests.

One of my friends was having trouble getting a job. He spent five years without a job while he studied for the government examination. It was harder for him because he belongs to the general category. His family wants him to immigrate to Canada in any way possible since they believe that society has wrecked his mental health.

A man who lives in Ahmedabad's Old City and comes from a lower middle class household. He and his family had great hardship in society, but ever since his family immigrated to Canada, he has gained some notoriety.

Preferences of Electronic Prescribing Software

Preferences of Electronic Prescribing Software:

Electronic Prescribing Software is the way toward creating and sending solution arranges electronically. It alright could also be gotten to by the medical aid authorities over the world.

Electronic Prescribing Software framework comprises the foremost associated network within the clinical business for supporting suppliers, practices, and patients. Electronic Prescribing Software offers constant collaboration, follows medicine narratives for suppliers. A cloud-based patient entrance enables suppliers' catch up with their patients about the treatment. No requirement for bringing in solutions, patients would now be ready to get precisely the meds that they have rapidly.

Enhanced Pharmacy Workflow

The most evident advantages of E-recommending focus on

*The persistent regarding security and avoidance of medication mistakes.

*E-recommending has additionally been presented to legitimize remedy preparing and diminish postpone times at nearby drug stores. Notwithstanding, the patients need not be available for the answer to be filled.

*To be included, the time takes for the manual passage of the answer into the framework is diminished.

*Improved security, shorter delay times, and broadened administrations in drug store conference, are relied upon to point out signs of improvement tolerant fulfilment with the administrations gave by a drug store, at long last outcomes in client maintenance and expanded income.

Armour to Healthcare Industry

Electronic Prescribing Software is extensively safer than paper solutions. Paper solutions may bring about record blunders and altering, making it similarly simple for drug-chasing patients to vary remedies by expanding measurement rules, measure of medicines endorsed, or number of fill-ups of prescriptions.

Utilizing E-recommending Software, we will be able to convey remedies straightforwardly to the drug store, without uncovering the medical services expert's specifics to the patient even as Pharmacist. The results of doctors' points of interest robbery can incorporate doctor uniqueness burglary and fleeting inadequacy to E-recommend controlled substances between extra concerns.

Probably the foremost appealing advantages of E-endorsing programming incorporate improved patient well-being, diminished medicine blunders, intensified admittance to understanding prescription records, and redesigned drug store work process.

Despite the very fact that e-endorsing programming annihilates blunders, it can deliver new blames and comparable issues with composed remedies if not careful. It’s still enormously huge for doctors and drug specialists to astutely dissect all highlights of the drugs for precision to stay up persistent well-being and quality.

Be that because it may, hindrances to its usage despite the fact that everything continue. E-Prescribing programming can possibly build quiet well-being and patient drug adherence.

Niranjana is a budding content writer. She is not famous, but inculcating herself by writing. She is a South Indian who enjoys reading books and writing content. She has written contents on healthcare industry. If she doesn’t do all those, she wants to sing and try new things. She enjoys being alone. Read her blogs and give it a try.

I love technology so, so, so much, and I think it's so, so, so important.

I think that, in the age of the climate crisis and of Tech Bros™ being Like That, there can sometimes be this thought that technology is a bad thing. That our desire to keep innovating is destroying the planet, destroying humanity, destroying life. And to some degree I can understand that. Vehicles that run on oil add to the pollution in the air. Factories, too, add to pollution. As much as clean energy sources are readily available, governments and corporations all around the world refuse to use those energy sources because big oil lobbyists don't want to lose out on their revenue. It can be easy to think technology is the problem.

But I really don't see it that way. I can't see it that way, because I look at all we can accomplish with technology—and all that we have accomplished with it—and I think it's just amazing.

I've made lifelong friends thanks to the internet. Thanks to computers that allowed me to connect with people all around the world, I've made friends who have helped me through some truly dark periods in my life. I was able to use email to get in touch with my father so that he could help me escape my abusive biological mother.

Technological innovation has made it possible for so many lives to be saved through modern medicine. Pacemakers can keep people's hearts beating regularly. Ventilators can breathe for them. On a less drastic scale, other medical devices can greatly improve someone's quality of life, whether it's through prosthetics or other mobility aids, including electric scooters and wheelchairs.

Screen readers help vision-impaired people browse the internet. Cochlear implants and other hearing aids help hard of hearing or Deaf people interact with the speaking world around them, too.

Cars and airplanes can help people reach family members or friends so, so many miles away from them. If you have family in another country and you need to get to them quickly because of an emergency, you can do so.

Of course, nothing is perfect. Technology is expensive. We live in a capitalist hellscape, so even when there are medical innovations that could save someone's life, they can't always afford it. (At least in the States; other countries have the grace of standardized health care.) And again, there is a huge problem with vehicles and factories that continue to use energy sources that cause pollution. These are problems that we need to find a way to tackle head on, though it's extremely difficult when you're just one person facing an entire industry that lobbies the government.

But technology itself is not to blame here. Technology enriches and saves lives. And I imagine it will only continue to do so. Yeah, there are definitely things being developed that aren't so great. Robot dogs used by police are one of them. Facial recognition software and virtual assistants that record your every word to harvest your data and turn you into a product are another. But I think of a world where technology can make it even easier for us to be brought together—where life can be made easier for those who need it to be. If we could get to a stage where things were automated so that we could live our lives for the purpose of thriving rather than just surviving, if we could find a way to advance medical science so that those of us who have lungs that were ruined by parents smoking cigarettes around us in enclosed spaces for years and years could be given a way to breathe more easily . . .

I live my whole life surrounded by tech. I've worked in tech support for going on fourteen years, I'm constantly on my computer or phone or playing video games when at home. So obviously, I'm biased. But I just think that scientific and technological innovation has done so many insanely wonderful things, and will continue to do even more. The problem is not with machines or technology, but rather with the fuel sources used to run them—and, more to the point, the industries and governments that refuse to make the switch to clean energy even when the option is right there, ready to go whenever.

#this wasn't really inspired by anything i was just . . . thinking #i wish i didn't have dyscalculia; i wish my brain could do math bc i would LOVE to be really hands-on with STEM stuff #particularly technology and engineering #like I wish I could make stuff! if I had the know-how I would make NetNavis a real thing!#i would make super cool cybernetic prosthetics for anyone who needs / wants them & make them widely and easily available!#oh you had to have your leg amputated but also you're poor w/ no insurance? cool come get your robot leg #i just. i love tech SO much & it could be used to enrich SO MANY lives & it already has!#but it's also not as accessible & affordable as it should be in many ways #and also I can't make shit bc my brain can't do math :(#so I will live vicariously through Tails (altho I'm too stupid to write him)#it's just the way it has to be /sigh

𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩!

𝙾𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚋𝚎𝚛 — 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟸

Hi and welcome to my second Tumblr recap. This time we have a look on the month of October. It was a very stressful and life changing month for me. Doors closed, doors opened. Some time off of Tumblr, writing and studying. And the most important: a huge change in my life. More to this in 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚂𝚝𝚞𝚏𝚏.

But now, let’s dive in, in my personal recap!

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

𝙶𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕 𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜

➵ October was the month of inactivity for me. Exams and vacation somehow interrupted my time on Tumblr.

➵ I finally opened my Discord! 🥳 More to this in 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑.

➵ I officially passed my personal record of followers. Thank you to every single one of you! I never thought my stuff will be interesting to you! 💕

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

𝚆𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐

➵ A new WIP has joined the chat: Project Stardust. I announced it already in the last recap, but since then nothing really happened with this idea… Still waiting for some inspiration…

➵ I worked a bit on The Legacy of the Airdra, but nothing much happened there. Mostly re-reading and remembering the details (since I forgot to write them down in summer 2020).

➵ Wings of Fate: I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t written anything for weeks. It’s mocking me right now, sits in front of me with my favorite characters and telling me “you have no ideas!” Thats unfair…

➵ Something else has come onto my desk last week: A pen and paper game. 2019 was the first year, I actually wrote an adventure for a pen and paper game I founded. The game itself is already in the trash can, but the adventure still exists. I met a friend last weekend, who publishes adventures regularly for a german game called Midgard (my main system). And guess, who is thinking about publishing their first written thing ever? Yes! Correct! Me. 😁 So, stay tuned!

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚂𝚝𝚞𝚏𝚏

Now to the messy part of the story…

Remember, how I told you in the September recap, my life is messy and I hope October will be better? Yeah, no.

It got worse.

Some of you may have heard that I study math. This winter semester is actually my last semester in the mathematics department.

A lot of things have happened in the last few weeks. Some were nice (I went to a private convention for Pen&Paper Roleplay), some were…not so nice.

No one actually knows that I change my department from math to computer science, except my parents, a friend of mine and the managing director of the cs department. And to know, that people will sigh in relief when they hear I quit, is kinda sad.

I don’t think that I couldn’t do it. I still believe, I am able to study math, but it is actually the department that makes me go away. Professors, who ask me openly how I passed exams because “you have no clue about the subject”. Managing directors, who tell me at the beginning of my third semester “you have passed the exams with 4.0. Have you thought of quitting?”. Students, who should help you, telling you: “How don’t you know that? We’re not telling you. You should know.”

I could go on about this, but I won’t. But this made me quit in the end. In a subject, that gets less and less students each year. When I first started, we were about 70 people in our semester. After three weeks, the number dropped to 60 and after the first exam, we were probably around 40. Now, I see around 15 people from my semester at university. Everyone else quit.

I believe, a lot of my mental health issues came from this department and the people there. Being be one nobody wants to have around, really does something with you. I always tried to prove my right to those people. My right to be part of this department. But in the end, I have to admit: You cannot change the opinion of other people.

Normally, I am a person, that finished everything what I started. Not this time. The new department excites me! The opportunity to work with my computer, with codes and software, being able to still have my science part and nevertheless be more practical, makes me happy. I should have quit way earlier, this is true. But without all those struggles, I would not be the person, I am today.

I have a feeling, that things may go different from here. Just like a new chapter awaits me.

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

𝙸𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝙿𝚘𝚜𝚝𝚜

None of the following posts are really important, but I wanted to give them a shoutout:

➵ Project Stardust

➵ (the old) Discord post

➵ The cast of Wings of Fate

➵ My (updated) Tag List

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚜

I want to give a shoutout to the following blogs:

➵ @lockejhaven

➵ @365runesofwriting

➵ @blind-the-winds

➵ @writingpotato07

➵ @mirrorthoughts

➵ @yourfriendlywriter

➵ @moonlitinks

I want to thank you for sending me sweet messages throughout this stressful month of October. You don’t know how much I appreciate your kind words! They really helped me to stay sane. 💕

─────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹─────────

𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑

November. What will it bring?

➵ My life opens a new chapter for me and so do I for my life. This means, I hope to open my Discord server to the public. If you want to join, stay tuned for the introduction post to it!

➵ I hope, I can publish a new WIP intro soon. It is already done and just needs to be published. If you like whump, dark fantasy and high fantasy, this one is for you.

➵ Speaking of publishing: The Orphic News is still suffering from my loss of inspiration and time. But, I am working on publishing again. The publishing term will probably be once every month from now on, until there is more to tell.

➵ I am also planning on coding a Discord Bot for my server. I don’t know, how much you are interested in this, but I try to update the process in my personal space on Discord. Again, stay tuned for the post about my server!

And the rest will be defined by the future…

Difficulties Part 1

I usually keep pretty well to Austen or British literature of the last century, but as Jane Austen is very concerned with the plight of women, I wanted to share two small things that happened to me, that impress upon me the difficulty living in the world as a woman.

I had a job that I really loved at a university in Canada. I was unionized, had unlimited sick days, medical benefits, paid time off, a pension, and reasonable compensation. After about two years at this job I left for maternity leave, which in my country was 1 year at half pay. I was worried however, because my department had a nasty habit of laying off women during mat leave. This would usually be illegal, but research work is all based on grants and contracts, so it can happen more easily in my field than in others.

I was anxious about going back to work, but at the 10 month mark my boss emailed and asked if I could come back early. I agreed, partially because I was bored but also because I was worried I might lose my position if I didn’t go back. So I went back 3 days a week (I had actually started at this job 3 days a week and moved to five over time) and my son went to a great little home daycare. I made it clear to my manager that as I had a 2 hours a day commute, I didn’t want to work more days. I thought she would understand as she had also worked part time when she had young children.

2 months in, I was laid off. I was only 2 months away from my contract becoming permanent, something that happened automatically after 3 years. I also had worked so few hours that it was impossible for me to collect employment insurance. It turned out they just wanted me to cover a three month leave of another staff member.

Now I feel I must justify myself, I was good at my job. When the news got around, I was approached by several people I had worked with who offered themselves as references. One person even swore when she realized she’d have to train someone new on the complicated medical software that I had mastered (just ask a nurse or doctor how user friendly their medical records program is...). Even though they were not required to, many of the doctors I worked with still included my name on their published research papers.

Anyway, we were in a terrible position as a family. My husband and I had just purchased a new house, since my job had seemed secure. I fortunately had about a month’s vacation pay as a buffer, but that was it. My daycare graciously let me take my son out until I found another job, if I had lost my space it would have been worse. I desperately applied for jobs and eventually accepted one with the same employer that was not unionized.

I lost my pension, sick days, medical benefits, and paid vacation and was only given about 2 dollars more an hour in this new job. I never would have accepted it if I hadn’t been so desperate.

And the worst part is, the people who did this to me were all women. My manager and supervisor were both women. And they didn’t care. The one even seemed surprised that I was angry at the final meeting. She said it was best for the projects. I highly doubt it.

Anyway, this is my little proof that having a uterus and being a mother who wants to spend time with her child still can destroy your career and that you can’t rely on the compassion or humanity of your superiors.

Note: Why do I need medical benefits? I live in Canada, but we have a strange form of universal healthcare that covers all hospital and doctor visits, but not eye, dental, most therapy/mental health care or most medication. So for a person my age at the time, the most commonly covered would be things like birth control, glasses, dental visits, and physiotherapy.

And yes, this creates problems were someone with say, type two diabetes can’t afford their very cheap meds and instead ends up in the ER frequently which is super expensive. We have plans where if you are poor enough you get free medication but it’s a mess and honestly they need to fix it.

#this was before COVID btw so work from home wasn't big yet #difficulties #we clearly haven't fixed all the problems yet #at least it is clear to me #feminism #personal stuff #of which there is very little on this blog

Art Fight summary

For my own performance

POSITIVES ☉ Good creating speed ☉ Learned and tried new things ☉ Tested/created different tools for inking ☉ Mostly good feedback from recipients ☉ New connections, more exposure ☉ Proud of my custom assets

NEGATIVES ⨷ Applied unnecessary limitations (style, theme, quality) ⨷ Not enough diversity, no creature OCs ⨷ Not enough male characters ⨷ Half of the expected number of finished works ⨷ Overthinking and outperforming ⨷ Technical issues with Clip Studio software ⨷ Poor mental health days, draining

· • —– ٠ ✝ ٠ —– • ·

My plan was to try new art things with each drawing I make, learn new tricks, and apply/practice them. By doing this I increased creating time by a lot and so it wasn't wise to continue. Not when quantity is more important than quality.

I'm very glad that I didn't push myself too much and didn't burn out from this experience.

➽ Let me know which of my July's artworks is your personal favorite. Leave a comment, tell how you see my art, and what you value in it. I'd appreciate the feedback.

· • —– ٠ ✝ ٠ —– • ·

Regarding Art Fight event management itself. Disappointing and bad.

🅧 Frequent maintenance in the first days indicates that admins were not prepared well. Assets were provided with delay. 🅧 Some small parts of the website are still broken as many years before. 🅧 The whole freaking drama unraveled among the staff in the only month everyone needs them to do their work well! Scam, staff shifts, owner change, negativity. Toxic and unprofessional. 🅧 Changes made to the event DURING the event. For example, team points calculation, changes to the search filter, and more. All the changes should be made BEFORE the time. 🅧 Bad Discord server maintenance. Poor structure, boring, immature. I expect more from Discord partners, for an old event with a huge community. I don't see a reason for me to be a member of their server in this situation. 🅧 Artists delete/archive their characters during the event. It's irritating at least. What if I'm in the process of drawing? I won't be able to submit my attack.

· • —– ٠ ✝ ٠ —– • ·

When time/energy allows, I plan to create TikTok content from all the speedpaint recordings I made during July.

"... Log number two hundred forty-seven."

The man had been residing in his room after a quick skirmish around the underground passageways. He didn't dare to go back down there again, even though he made a new tenative ally there. He can't bear to be in spaces where the air isn't always fresh, especially when considering his health. Regardless, he came back before he had to deal with that. And other threats too, probably.

His glasses had lenses for once, reducing the glare of his lit screens. His work room was surprisingly neat. Minus the fact that he heavily barricaded the door with his own unique defense mechanism, nothing was scattered or carelessly thrown about. His papers were neatly stacked on the desk, his monitors were in an organized three by three fashion, and his project... Or rather his daughter, was idly standing nearby his computer like a mannequin. Perfectly still, yet the head hung low with slack limbs. There were wires connected from the back to the PC tower, but even then he kept the cables all tied up.

His keyboard and monitors were mechanical, along with the tower and station his daughter was planted at. But his interactive screens were holograms emitting from small devices on his desk. It displayed him actively recording what he was saying. Marking the date, time, the length of the audio, even the exact decibel he was speaking at.

"The blueprints have been uploaded to my daughter's memory repository. She can now navigate the manor safely and perhaps be a guide for others as well. I've made sure it's in a separate folder, entirely different from the ones I uploaded from my world."

He paused and stared over at her, even though the device only picked up on his silence.

"... I have mainly been utilizing this as a means of recording my progress on my work and ensuring that I made no errors along the way. However I have neglected to mention how archiac my setting is. Not only am I three hundred years into the past, there's irregularities springing up everywhere I turn."

"Many are discussing about their residency here, how a game of sorts has occurred during their stay. And I have yet to even experience it myself. And the farthest I've heard other residents coming from was 2023... A mere ninety-nine years away from mine. All technology I've utilized here are of my own creation, so nobody but besides me and a few other genuises would know how to navigate it..."

"... As for my daughter, all efforts are focused on the heart program. The only reason why it's been a work in progress for this long is because empathy isn't inherited nor learned. Like every program I've ran, it must be taught continuously and repetitively. Even if it takes an eternity, anything can be saved. As long as the internal parts are secure, lessons are treated like memories. Therefore they don't ever truly fade... Even one as mundane as a conversation, what one experiences, how they process it in their mind, heart, and soul. How all three work together to create a unique reaction amongst everyone every time without fail... It's why people are so predictable yet not at the same time."

"But my daughter shouldn't function without a heart. There needs to be room for subjectivity in her software to enable her to have her own judgement. Her own sense of morality. For her to take offense for herself and possibly for others. Even if that's considered flawed, isn't that what's hardwired in our minds anyway? Nobody ever truly thinks strictly logically on every decision they make. And we still need to satiate our own needs... That's different for anyone that's ever breathed. Which is why I'm taking my time here. Even if I spend an eternity in this foreign land, I'll never give up on her."

He stopped the recording and noted how long it went on for. He let out a sigh as he took a sip of water.

"... This log is far too lengthy, even though there are still twenty four terabytes left on the storage. Let me splice out that middle part and... Hm, deleting it isn't necessary. Although these logs will be uploaded to her data by the time she's finished... I'll just arrange a separate folder for this. Perhaps this will be a log for my expereinces here rather than my work. Suitable enough."

As he did exactly that, he tapped the corner of the hologram for it to fade away.

"... Strange, when did I ever start expressing my own thoughts related outside my work..."

Then a knock was heard at the door. He pulled up closer to his desk to check one of his monitors. A hooded individual stood at his door as he merely frowned and put a hand on his chin.

"... You again."

He pressed a button, and the whir of mechanical parts made way for the door to open.
