Statistics don't lie It just blows my mind that people can't see or understand that COVID is a dangerous virus that can damage your body. Getting infected multiple times will have serious consequences for many.
had a human au thought of Barnaby and Wally. idk doing their taxes or going through bills together since they share a house & Barnaby going "hey we could get married for tax benefits and health insurance. wait no what if i want to marry Howdy someday? it's illegal to be married to two people." Wally goes "we could get divorced" and Barnaby gets legitimately sad like:
on that note. enough marauders band aus where they’re polished modern-day celebs… did the unabashed sluttiness of Warped Tour 2009 mean nothing to you?? i want to see the girls in sweaty hoodies playing for dirty venues of insane teens with sharpie lyrics on their vans. wolfstar gets caught making out backstage in a grainy flip phone pic and within 6 hours myspace is in SHAMBLES doing forensics trying to figure out if it’s really them. the black brothers represent the two sides of emo fashion (disgusting black zip-up) vs (RAWR. PIERCINGS. ARMSOCKS) but in the opposite direction of what you’d expect. early 5sos-style james potter? that slut? with his wattpad love interest swag? TELL ME HE WOULDN’T EAT
I got covid maybe a year ago and I recovered 100% (I have health problems but they're the same ones I had before covid) except that now I've got this weird phlegmmy cough that comes and goes out of nowhere, triggered by circumstances I have not yet identified. Which is annoying because like. It's so hard to tell if I get sick now. My heat regulation was already naturally fucked so 'fever' was never a useful indication, and now I don't have 'coughing' either. My body's I am Sparticussing all the time so I never know if there's a fucking virus in there or not.
Now we know how COVID attacks your heart Even patients with mild COVID symptoms could face a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke
By Sanjay Mishra
Scientists have noticed that COVID-19 can trigger serious cardiovascular problems, especially among older people who have a buildup of fatty material in their blood vessels. But now a new study has revealed why and shown that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, directly infects the arteries of the heart.
The study also found that the virus can survive and grow inside the cells that form plaque—the buildup of fat-filled cells that narrow and stiffen the arteries leading to atherosclerosis. If the plaque breaks, it can block blood flow and cause a heart attack or a stroke. The SARS-CoV-2 infection makes the situation worse by inflaming the plaque and increasing the chance that it breaks free.
This can explain long-term cardiovascular effects seen in some, if not all, COVID-19 patients.
So I've dusted off my Nanowrimo account from a few years ago to see if the schedule can help train my brain out of the brain fog again! I'm mostly just going to be using it for TRT stuff, or one-shots on days I'm not working on TRT. I'm a visual person so I like seeing my lil wordcount goals met every day.
Point is, if you're Nano-ing this year and wanna be writing buddies, hit me up!
I'm watching Impel Down/Marineford for the first time (I know what happens but seeing the How is. painful. ouchie.) but I'm really loving how competent?? Croc is?? between reminding the escapees that 'we have cannons too' and calling them idiots for not knowing how to handle a tsunami and squaring up with a variety of heavy hitters. IDK it's just nice.
It is delightful! Especially considdering Crocodile had been living a life of luxury for well over a decade in Alabasta (not having to lift a finger to do anything and probably not going out to the sea much if at all) followed by spending an undisclosed amount of time in prison; like the man hasn't been participating in The Yar-Har Pirate Life in a long time, and yet he's such a veteran that all comes back out seemingly naturally. It's really impressive
But it just goes to show how independent Crocodile is (when he wants to), which makes sense. If the man doesn't trust others then it's very likely he's spent time alone even on the seas and could take of himself and whatever funny little boat he might've had.
Like yes, having people who can do shit so he doesn't have to is nice and convenient (especially since there are things that would be a pain in the ass to do with just one hand, like the hook only helps so much), but like. Push comes to shove, he can handle it by himself.
Which would make him kind of a cute opposite to Luffy who 100% would not survive without friends around
