How can I not even have the decency or energy to at least write a proper, timely response to a compassionate note of moral support from a friend? And when did these insipid, literally-every-damn-day thoughts like “I’m cold/lonely” and “I need a hug” gain the power to alter my physiological ability to function??

Well, looks like I made it to 27!
A big thank you to my friends and family for supporting me with love and kindness, and a lot of patience. A big thank you as well to all my online buddies, though I know many of us only occasionally chat nowadays. Y'all keep me going. ♡
Let's hope I have many more birthdays to come!

Ringo, if available -
I recently took up a new job and it's been really kicking me. I imagine that's how you felt on the moon to make you come to earth, similarly running from this place to that, answering demands of your superiors. How can I obtain more endless energy our species is oft known for? I'll gladly bend down my antlers for you to stick some dango on.
In a similar vein of thinking to yours, sometimes the moon is a big bright orange pumpkin this early September and I thought I would share some sentiment with moon gazing. Especially after work, it's presence is quite serene. I wish there was a way we could hang out. It would be a nice load-off.
Sincerely,
A golden earth jackalope
"ACK- THEY FOUND ME!" [ahem] "Oh, you're from Earth, all good all good."
Tumblr media
But man, I totally get it. If you're running about from place to place, especially if you were going along with a particular system- school, a bad relationship, a lack of self-regard- even if you're trying to treat yourself better or help yourself out you can feel MORE exhausted...I wonder if that's Earth's impurity... You're on the right track though! You gotta load up of fuel, not just any ol' food but stuff that'll keep you going, and listen to your body. Turns out sustaining yourself on just dango ain't that great for Earth rabbits, and it's actually the "impure" foods of fermented or pickled stuff that's helpful for fatigue.
Tumblr media
Also, whilst it can sound counterintuitive and may even be more exhausting at first, you gotta prep yourself before you wreck yourself. I love me a good nap, but when winter's coming, it might end up counterintuitive to just sleep all the time. You gotta keep those bones limber and moving, we got all that energy from running, and we run cuz we got all that energy! And when you rest...how do I say this without being lame, treasure it? Not in a 'oh you should be grateful you're able to sleep' but paying attention to how nice it makes you feel, seeing a breeze or feeling the warmth of a blanket...really sink your teeth into feeling the positive flow of things. No feeling guilty for how long it's been or how long it takes allowed, you give yourself permission to ~mellow~
Tumblr media
I think moon gazing is a great idea, at first I didn't like it because it was kinda sad, but...now I see the moon differently. I see it the way Earthlings do, a presence in the sky that shifts the tides and envelopes nature with its own subtle dark light, a Mythical being...heh, and the idea that seeing the moon that way would piss the Lunar Capital off just makes that bright orange pumpkin all the sweeter~
Tumblr media
I'll skewer some dango on, but that's for a takeaway- so have some now and enjoy it, mmkay?

I need to share this. (@st-just : hearty gruel alert!)
Red lentils. Boil them in a pot all by themselves, with salt, until soft. Skim the Bad Foam (or first wash them many times, until the water's clear). Set them aside.
Take a big skillet, and sauté in medium heat garlic with cumin, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and ginger. Grate a tomato in there (or however you add tomato in sauces), add fresh parsley or coriander, and stir.
Drop in the red lentils with water, tumeric, lemon juice, AND TAHINI. Mix them together, let them cook for a few minutes more, stir until done. Adjust texture to taste basically, it's up to you if you'll eat with a fork or with a spoon.
Now serve. In the middle of the gruel, plop a spoonful of strained yoghurt, and slice some raw red onion around it. Drizzle some olive oil/lemon on top. Ready? CHARGE.
Tumblr media
hot lentils (sans parsley, I was out) served in gruel form, a hearty meal for 1
Numbers (approximate), for 2 people
pot:
200 gr red lentils
7 minutes boiling
salt to taste
skillet:
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger [I don't actually KNOW numbers for the spices, I'm eyeballing this; do what you will]
1 big tomato
salt and pepper to taste
+2 minutes stirring
skillet with the lentils:
~1/2 cup water (IF you've strained the lentils; I empty most but not all of the water from the pot, and then unceremoniously plop the whole thing in there)
1 teaspoon tumeric
4 tablespoons tahini
1/2 lemon
8 minutes cooking total
per serving:
1 hefty tablespoon yoghurt
1/2 small red onion
olive oil and lemon to taste
Feel free to play around with spices and seasoning. The only essential ingredients are the lentils, oil+tomato+cumin, and tahini+lemon.
It's completely feasible with brown lentils, except they take longer to boil. Basically this recipe combines the standard "brown lentils + tahini" with "red lentils + a bunch of spices".
If you have iron deficiency, the dairy will inhibit the iron absorption from the lentils, so either skip the yoghurt, or decide you're eating this because it's delicious, and not because it's good for your blood.
Tumblr media
cold lentils ~8 hours later, now in spread-ish form, kinda like hummus. reheating not necessary, fantastic mezze for 2. lasts in the fridge for 3-4 days (just let it out to acquire room temperature first, and serve with yoghurt and onions again).

Sniffles, Kisses, and Soup - J.WW
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairings: Wonwoo x gn! reader
Genre: Fluff, established relationship
Warnings: Nothing really, Wonwoo is has a fever, reader kisses wonwoo even tho he's sick 🤧, tell me if I should add anything
Word Count: 719
Summary: Taking care of your stubborn boyfriend isn't always easy, especially when he's sick.
A/N: This is a very self-indulgent fic, but I hope you enjoy it! Feedback is always appreciated!
Tumblr media
"I brought you soup and medicine. I didn't know which one to get so I just bought all of them....not that you should take all of them! Just take the one you think will work the best—do you still have a fever? Are you cold?"
Wonwoo sighs which soon ends with a cough as he waits for you to finish your worried rambling.
Usually, he'd find it endearing, but his current sickened state only made his head pound from any sort of noise.
"I'll be fine, love. I really appreciate it," he coughs as he moves back down on the couch to smother himself in a heap of blankets.
" But I think you're doing too much. It's just a fever."
Just a fever, my ass
You scoffed as you moved to the kitchen to heat up his soup, keeping an eye on your sick boyfriend, who could barely keep his eyes open.
You know he was partially correct, it was just a fever that would eventually pass, but this was the first time Wonwoo had ever gotten sick in your (almost) two years of dating him.
You'd think the vitamin deficiencies he probably experiences from staying cooped up in his room gaming would weaken his immune system. But he never once complained about feeling under the weather, not even a stuffy nose. Which is why you knew your boyfriend was downplaying how sick he was.
It didn't matter to you that it wasn't serious.
How could you not be worried when your boyfriend looked like he was preparing a role for The Walking Dead as zombie #2.
"Wonwoo, you look half-dead—" you start.
"Thank you for the compliment. That's the look I was going for."
You fight back the urge to roll your eyes at Wonwoo's sarcastic remark, knowing that he was just being stubborn as he sometimes was.
You open the microwave right before it stops, preventing the loud beeps from assaulting your boyfriend's eardrums. With the soup and a spoon in hand, you walk to Wonwoo and set it down on the coffee table, making sure to avoid the used tissues he didn't have the energy to throw out.
"Baby, let me take care of you, okay?"
You help him sit up, smiling at his lack of resistance before you hold the bowl in front of his face, spooning the soup and bringing it to his lips.
Wonwoo's eyes flickered down to your hand before he raised a single brow at you, surprised that you were trying to feed him. Putting his stubbornness aside, he finally gave in, leaving forward and sipping the soup off of the spoon you held out for him.
The liquid instantly soothed his throat and filled his body with much-needed warmth despite his scorching fever. He ate in silence, allowing you to continue feeding him until nearly a quarter of the soup was finished.
"You really don't have to do this, Y/N...I don't want to bother you," Wonwoo mumbled.
Wonwoo had no problem with you doing this for him. He enjoyed when you'd cook for him since he lacked the skills you had, he didn't mind you taking it upon yourself to help him with some of his chores, but there was something about the intimacy of you taking care of him when sick that made Wonwoo feel small.
And shy.
But you couldn't tell since the blush on his face disguised itself with his fever.
A frown forms on your face as you set the soup back on the coffee table. Grabbing Wonwoo's hands in yours, you lean forward to press a soft kiss to his warm forehead, letting your lips linger for a few seconds.
"You'd do the same for me, Wonwoo. And besides, I love you. Taking care of you never bothers me."
You tilt your head and kiss Wonwoo's lips, instantly making him pull away from you with record speeds for someone who could barely stay up.
"You'll get sick—"
A soft giggle escapes your lips as you shift your body and his until you're cuddling him face to face with the blankets now covering the both of you, your added warmth relaxing Wonwoo further into the couch.
"Weren't you the one that told me kissing boosts your immune system? I don't care if I get sick."

Hey, Joy, if you've got spoons for it, I've got a medical mystery question.
I found out a few months ago that I had a significant B12 deficiency. I eat plenty of meat, so my doctor gave me 6 biweekly injections instead of oral supplements. She just checked my levels again and they didn't increase nearly as much as she expected (in fact, I'm still below the deficiency cutoff she's using), but I also tested negative for pernicious anemia. She didn't seem to know what to make of that.
I know you've had to dig into a lot of medical literature. Do you have any idea what could be going on or where I could find more information?
I’m in a similar situation in terms of not responding to treatment as anticipated.
I have to take 3-5x the daily recommended oral dose of methylcobalamin (a type of b12, I don’t absorb the other kinds including the kind in the injections.) just to stay on the cusp of deficiency because my body burns through it like crazy.
The best my doctors can surmise is that I might have a gene mutation that is affecting it, but getting a geneticist to look into it has been an exercise in futility.
My EDS diagnosis means the genetics dept just isn’t interested. They blame it on the EDS and while deficiency can be common in EDS, every EDS-knowledgeable doctor I’ve seen is shocked by my numbers.
MCAS also prevents the absorption of nutrients, so that might be another factor, but again, that indicates a probable genetic factor that’s being overlooked.
Unfortunately, that’s all very specific to me and not helpful to everyone else. Although maybe someone else in the notes can shine some light for us.

gimli headcanons:
likes doing laundry. finds it soothing
history nerd!! loves reading old tombs/biographies of his ancestors
is incredibly intelligent. beats frodo in chess. would beat gandalf but gandalf cheats. has been in a stalemate with aragorn for two and a half years.
well mannered but chooses to forgo his politeness to make a point. especially around elves.
does NOT like horses. not just riding them, which is canon, but actually dislikes the animal itself. the reasons why include (but are not limited to) :
he does not like being not on ground. he does not have a fear of heights so much as a fear of… feet not on ground. as evidenced by refusal to jump, treehouses, and well, horses
he does not like their faces. they are long and have eyes on the side like prey. gimli thinks this is deceiving as horses are very large and can kick in someone’s skull. not his skull.
gimli believes that in a one on one match with a horse, he could easily win. he has thought of several, very specific, scenarios of this and has a detailed plan of attack should this situation occur.
they so easily turned against their home for an evil overlord (read: sauron stole all the black horses from rohan) and therefore cannot be trusted. as a rule, anything that willing you let you ride it cannot be trusted. they can’t be satisfied with this life. they are plotting something.
believes he would be great at drums. it’s just hitting things hard and he’s pretty strong.
ok, another thing about horses: they are fragile to a ridiculous extent. you breath wrong and it breaks. they have bad bones and bad blood flow in their legs, and their legs are all that they’re used for. he doesn’t understand why humans invested so much time into horses when they’re genetically bad at what they are meant to do. he’d feel bad for the horses if they weren’t so awful.
drinks coffee, not tea
takes great with the up keeping of his gear. he sharpens his axes, polishes his boots, shines his armor and waxes his mustache. that’s not gear, but he takes great pride in looking groomed and caring for his belongings.
has an axe for every occasion. battle axe? do you want throwing or slashing. a day on the town? have you seen this intricately carved masterpiece that also is a weapon? doffing a hole? PICKAXE. cutting a cake? how about an axe???
hates the rain because it ruins his hair and beard. also loves the rain because it ruins legolas’s hair and clothes.
will eat anything. has a great tolerance for spice. contrary to popular belief, dwarves are not shy of seasoning but are very cautious around other races in fear of poisoning their friends
will also eat some rocks. salty is his favorite (halite, hanksite, glauberite) but also likes to add chunks of chalcanthite to his food for a slightly sweet yet metalic flavor. this is also slightly (SLIGHTLY) poisonous as evidenced by sharing his trail mix with boromir
also calls dirt the “local seasoning”
will taste dirt to try and get a feeling for the land. this tells him the acidity, weather, possible wildlife, and also pisses off legolas
actaully genuinely likes the taste of dirt. (note: if you desire to eat clay/dirt that is a symptom of iron deficiency. for gimli, he eats spoonfuls of the stuff like their supplements because as a kid it was fed to him like multivitamins)
OK SO HEAR ME OUT: lack of sunlight can cause really low hemoglobin and ferritin (a blood protein that contains iron) sooo being constantly in dark caves can cause some forms of iron deficiency. because dwarves are conscious of their young, dwarf children often grow up not often being in direct sunlight.
the solution? dirt. dirt contains iron and other tasty minerals that are good for the body. charcoal has natural antioxidants. so does clay. am i saying that momma gimli (unnamed) fed her son ash and clumps of dirt? yes. also bits of broken pottery. it’s also good of the immune system.
fr tho clay/dirt/charcoal are the dwarven multivitamins. you have a tummy-ache? here, have a rock. i truly believe this was scientifically proven by dwarves and only FOR dwarves (plz do not eat dirt)
fuckin loves mushrooms. has a mushroom log at home. whenever dwarves find some fungai in a cave they go feral
likes dogs. thinks it’s great that they dig holes. thinks it’s fantastic that the bury things in holes. absolutes loves when they get muddy, and then shake off all water and dirt all over you.
when he came back home with the name lockbearer, a lot of the dwarves thought it was really cool and he has some sort of elven puzzle that requires a code to unlock something. imagine their surprise when he rocks up and is like: no, even better. HAIRS. three of them.
enjoys making mudpies- made them as a kid with his cousins, (mostly with rock slurry) and continues to, even even as an adult.
made them on the fellowship with the hobbits. taught them all about the best types of dirt and the water-to-soil- ratio needed.
while cutting up slices of his pie, he offered one to boromir, who in good nature, took it, clearly thinking it was just part of the bit.
poor boromir was locked in a stalemate after gimli cut his own slice, and began eating it.
to his credit, boromir did brave a few bites, but had to stop once he nearly had a mouthful of maggots
“protein”
gimli is like crazy good at hair. can braid quickly and efficiently in elaborate styles
picked up eleven hair style techniques in lorien (quicker than legolas) and was forced to relay them to the elf through twine as there is no way he’s letting grubby elf fingers to touch his glorious mane that’s been decades in the making
would ask for a drink “on the rocks” and get slightly upset if it did not come back with actual rocks

hey what nutritional deficiency do you have if you're craving garlic and dark chocolate, when you don't really even like chocolate and you're currently just eating minced garlic with a spoon straight from the jar.

The Hermits started noticing that Grian looked more pale then usual and how he always took a second to respond when he stood up to fast, worrying some started spying on him, it use to be watching him from afar if they casually saw him in the shopping district but the longer it kept up, the more worrying they got.
They were watching from behind the trees as they heard Mumbo and Grian chatter among themselves. That's when they saw it, Mumbo lowering his head down to Grian's neck, as they watched Grian legs shake a little before he buckled down into Mumbos embrace.
The Hermits had to explain to Mumbo that's he's drinking too much from Grian, but Mumbo knows that he just enjoys holding Grian.
They have to hold an intervention to explain that Mumbo can hold people outside of drinking from them. That's an option that's very available to him. In fact, it's expected of couples!
Mumbo hadn't even realised they were dating. Are they dating? Is that what this is? He just wanted an excuse to hold Grian and this was convenient...
Grian doesn't know why he's in love with Mumbo. He's a spoon. He loves Mumbo so much. He didn't even realise that's why Mumbo was drinking so much lately! He thought maybe he was ill or something.
He'll have to show Mumbo how good he can cuddle when not suffering from an iron deficiency.

Normally I send Whitney asks (probably will send one later) but I need to give my baby Kylar some love. Poor thing needs a good home cooked meal, he needs fruits too bc he has scurvy from his awful diet.
every time you say kylar has scurvy it makes me CACKLE it's so fucking funny. because it's so true.
but you're right giving kylar a homecooked meal needs to be more than just the headcanons i wrote before it deserves a full fic so let's fucking GOOOO
m!kylar x gn!pc, no cws just wholesome, tooth-rotting fluff ^_^
"Sit down and be patient, Kylar."
Your boyfriend sulked, but sat down in the kitchen chair anyway. You paid no mind to the fact that he pulled the chair directly next to where you were standing.
"S-sorry," he mumbled. "It just smells so good!"
You rolled your eyes affectionately and placed a hand on his cheek. He immediately beamed and leaned into your touch.
Ever since you had started spending more time at Kylar's manor, the amount you worried about him had only increased. The boy was almost always alone, staring at his six computer screens and only ever seemed to be eating instant ramen or fried food he bought on the way home from school. It was a miracle he hadn't suffered some severe nutritional deficit yet - though while you were certainly no doctor, you were pretty sure he was anemic.
So you had promised him you would make him a homemade dinner, and he had reacted as you had anticipated: by crying and thanking you repeatedly.
Now, here you were, cooking in Kylar's kitchen. It was pretty fun, honestly. Not only did you get to spend more time with Kylar, you got to do something you rarely got to do in the orphanage. Here, there was no Bailey to yell at you.
You had opted to make Kylar a katsu curry. Something simple that you were sure he would like, and something you could pack with veggies to make sure he got plenty of vitamins. Of course, you were pretty sure Kylar would have eaten anything if you were the one making it. But you figured you couldn't go wrong by appealing to his love of Japanese things.
"Do you want a taste?" You asked, dipping a spoon into the pot. Kylar eagerly nodded and jumped up. You guided the spoon to his mouth and he happily took it, grinning widely at you.
"It's good!" He said. "I knew my love would be a fabulous cook!"
You smiled at his over-exaggeration. "Okay, go grab a plate. It's ready."
He did as he was told - grabbing an extra plate for you as well - and you served up the dinner.
The two of you took a seat at the table, but the way Kylar was practically bouncing in his chair made you stop before you could begin eating.
"What's going on?" You gestured over to him. His excitement was palpable.
"My love made me dinner! We're eating it together! It's like we're already married..." Kylar sighed dreamily, gazing down at the plate.
You shook your head, but you were smiling, too. "Come on. You gotta eat before it gets cold, or you won't get any dessert," you teased.
He nodded seriously and starting digging in, a little too enthusiastically. "It's so good!" He choked out between bites.
"Kylar!" He paused and looked up at you. "Slow down. I don't want you to choke."
Kylar nodded again, making sure to slow down. "Sorry," he said sheepishly. "It really is that good..."
You took a bite of your own, pleasantly surprised at the taste. "Huh. I guess you're right."
"Thank you," Kylar said, staring at you lovingly. "My love is so good to me!"
"Then I'll keep cooking for you. God only knows what vitamin deficiencies you have. You probably have scurvy," you joked. But what Kylar had said before was ringing in your mind. Being married to Kylar...it might be pretty nice, actually. You had never been able to think about a real future, one where you weren't trapped under Bailey's thumb. Maybe one day you would be able to actually live here with Kylar and you could cook for him every night without worrying about where your next payment was going to come from.
Kylar noticed you zoning out. "What are you thinking about?" He asked curiously.
"How much I love you," you replied, and were pleased at how his face instantly flushed bright red. It made you laugh. "But really, I'm glad you like my food. I had a lot of fun making it and getting to spend time with you."
Kylar smiled, but seemed flustered still. "T-then...I'll be in charge of dessert..." his hand came to rest on your thigh and started to move up.
"Let's finish eating first," you said, and Kylar drew his hand back, looking disappointed.
"R-right..." he mumbled, going back to his plate.
You laughed again and pressed a kiss to the side of his head. "I'm looking forward to it."

bf!chuuya headcannons
gn!reader x chuuya
a/n: i'm so surprised at how much attention dazais hc post got so here's chuuya
---------------------------------------
small nsfw warning?? only mentions sex
where do i even begin with him
he's probably never been in a relationship before, and if he has it was only for sex
so when you (undoubtedly) ask him out he's a little hesitant
and by that i mean
he probably outright avoided you for two weeks straight until you surprised him in his office
and even then he puts his career in first place
"i'm an executive, you'll be targeted"
ok and
what if we can defend ourself?
what then chuuya
he's super sweet, i can assure you that much
gets into arguments with you about the most stupidest shit
you or him are probably super petty and will just ignore eachother until the other admits they were wrong.
hint: it'll probably be you
chuuyas got a short fuse so if he has to admit he's wrong you've got a one way ticket to hell
like dazai, he teaches you self defence
and then gets his ass beat by you
idk he probably sleeps with a stuffed animal in his bed that dazai gave him when they were teenagers
just outright refuses to get rid of it
dresses fancy. no matter the occasion. which means you have to match him. sorry.
probably plays an instrument or something
i'm imagining guitar or violin idk
his room has a lot of photographs from his younger years
(they're all him and dazai)
when you question him about them, he clams up and stays quiet
family man
he never really.. had one, growing up
so if he has any friends with kids he's already offered to baby sit
surprisingly gentle with kids
he's rich so he probably will buy you anything you so much as LOOK at once.
what's that? you glanced at this plant in a store?
he's already at the register paying for it.
romantic dates!!
walking through the park with your hands intertwined was probably his favourite
or the time he took you to a pond and went swimming with you at three in the morning, proceeded by watching the sun rise
little spoon
there is no way in hell this man is a big spoon
likes painting with you
but he sucks at painting so you'll draw something magnificent and he's got a circle
surprisingly
he has to take a lot of vitamins due to deficiencies
lets you wear his hat often
everyone used to warn you to never touch his hat but now he just straight up sets it on your head
lots n lots n lots of playing games with him
or playing with his hair while he rages in a cod lobby
when the lobby hears you talking to him and him talking back they make fun of him for being a softy
they are found dead later.
LOVES when you braid his hair
will never admit it though
watches your favourite shows and movies with you
instead of buying you flowers on your first date, he brought you a lego BOUQUET of flowers. that way they'd never die and you'd have the memory forever
has yoh paint his nails for him since he's too shaky to do it himself
cuts his own hair and offers to cut yours
---------------------------------------
it kinda just occurred to me how much i have going on in my life
1. coding a story
2. publishing on wattpad (@/talesbyraven)
3. editing on tiktok (@/sirjuuzou)
like it doesn't seem like MUCH but it's a lot considering how much time it takes up.
i coded today for maybe 5hrs and got 160 lines done, which a CHAPTER has around 2000-8000 per chapter. 🤷‍♀️
publishing depends on my mood, although it has been messed up for the last month but i used to publish once everyday, but since it's changed i've been stressed out.
editing can be time consuming, and depending on if it's a transition edit or just shakes and whatnot it can take between 15 minutes to an hour and a half, and it's hard finding the motivation lol.

Celebrating Black Queer Icons:
Marsha "Pay It No Mind" Johnson
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Johnson was born August 24, 1945. A drag queen and sex worker, after moving to New York City from Elizabeth, New Jersey, Johnson is probably best known for participation in Queer Liberation and AIDS activism from 1969 until her death in 1992. While often associated with transgender women, Johnson self identified as gay, a transvestite, and a queen and actively distinguished her identity from the contemporary transsexual community. As for Johnson's gender? Well, pay it no mind. Johnson's activism began in 1969 after being involved in the Stonewall Inn Riots. She is often attributed as being in the riot's vanguard, alongside Zazu Nova and Jackie Hormona. Johnson would later go on to deny this, and is quoted as saying she did not arrive until after the riots had already started. Johnson would later go on to join the Gay Liberation Front and co-found STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries), with Silvia Rivera. STAR would open the STAR House in 1970, which acted as a home for gay and trans homeless youths. In 1973 Johnson and Rivera were both temporarily banned by a gay/lesbian committee, from participating in pride parades, because it was said queens were giving the movement "a bad name". This did not deter Johnson. Starting in 1980 Johnson began living with fellow activist, Randy Wicker, and his partner. Johnson, who was HIV positive, would later become Wicker's partner's caregiver as they became terminally ill due to AIDS. After visiting Wicker's partner in the hospital Johnson became dedicated to spending time with AIDS patients and engaged in street actions with groups like ACT UP. Johnson was a deeply religious person throughout her life. Primarily Catholic, Johnson was said to have a very direct and personal relationship with divinity. On July 6, 1992, Johnson's body was found in the Hudson River. Johnson was cremated and after a march down 7th Avenue her ashes were spread in the Hudson. While initially ruled a suicide by the NYPD, this is highly contested to this day, with good reason. In 2002 Johnson's death was reclassified as Undetermined, and efforts in 2012 and 2016 have seen moderate success in getting the case reopened and re-investigated.
In the wake of her death Marsha P Johnson has become a nigh universal icon in queer communities and seemed like a good starting point for Black History Month. Moving forward I hope to focus on people less known, at least in melanin deficient circles. In a perfect world this would be daily, but I sadly don't have the spoons for it. I will effort to post at least 2-3 of these each week and have a list sufficient enough to carry me through February, and a little beyond. I plan on doing Willmer Broadnax next and have a list going that should cover at least the month of February, and hopefully beyond. Corrections and suggestions are welcome and much desired.

i guess this is (regrettably) the norm for female characters in anime and JRPGs but it's frustrating to see how much romantic/ship stuff for omori reduces Aubrey's character to some one dimensional fetish, whether it's "baka tsundere romance is embarrassing" or "step on me dommy mommy" or "i was only pretending to be badass and now i'm scawwed uwu" no no no yall. aubrey is like the ghost of a stereotypical teen flick boyfriend inhabiting the body of the world's most greif-stricken riot grrrl gf. she lets you wear her jacket when you're chilly. she's smart but doesn't do her homework. she's iron-deficient. she ruffles your hair and gives you piggybacks and buys you candy and wins prizes for you at the arcade. she makes a squeaky toy noise when you hug her. she has no idea what she's doing with her life. she'll say the most sincere and romantic things and then tack on a "...or whatever, i guess" but you know she really means it. she'll beat up anyone who gives you a hard time. she likes being the big spoon and the little spoon too. she's strong and badass but also troubled and vulnerable. she's impulsive but she cares deeply. she is so cool and awesome and also very pathetic. she contains multitudes.

Could you extend on the fat/water for fuel thing you said while fasting please?? Also, some tips? Like you've done this for such a long time it's so impressive
I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to. I'm assuming you're asking about what your body requires to function while still fasting. I'll go into a lot of detail regarding this since I feel like it's important. First of all I'd like to preface this by stating that everyone is different. Some people have deficiencies or immune issues or blood pressure.. the list goes on issues. Before even considering a fast, know your body and it's requirements. I would hate for someone to read anything I write and take my word for it and do something that harms them. I couldn't live that, so please do your research. Regarding what your body needs; if you're already a very thin person, don't fast. You have to understand that when you're eating, your body is burning calories for fuel. When you're not eating, it switches to burning fat. This is ketosis. A lot of the goal of a ketogenic diet is to switch the body over to burning fat for fuel. This is the biggest reason for why people have a really goddamn hard time the first few days of fasting or even starting keto. What people refer to as "keto-flu." It's your body protesting against your switching over to burning fat, when burning calories is so much easier and it's instant energy. Burning fat is a lot more work. So, if you're already thin, your body won't have much fat to burn through. What your body will do instead if burn through muscle and organ tissue. You REALLY do not want that. Bear in mind that even if you have fat deposits, muscle loss is likely to occur anyway, as your body may burn through muscle it thinks you don't necessarily have use for. If you go past a 36h fast, autophagy also begins to occur where your body starts to heal itself. I personally love this and have healed my acne scars through this. I had really bad acne scars and now I have maybe a couple I can see if I look reaaally closely. Putting that aside. You need hydration A LOT of water, and you need fasting minerals (electrolytes). These are mainly sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Now I personally just make snake juice at home, because I like control over what I put inside myself. Water=2L | Potassium chloride =1 tsp | Sodium chloride = 1/2 tsp | Sodium Bicarbonate = 1 tsp Magnesium Sulphate = 1/2 tsp Now it's up to a person to know how long they can fast and how long they should fast, however if you're planning an extended fast. I cannot stress enough to get a general check-up, get professional help during your fast if you can, and monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Some things I experienced through my many fasts has been throwing up by the way. Usually around day 7-14. I was able to fix this with a mixture of a table spoon of apple cider vinegar and pickle juice. I couldn't drink snake juice anymore, because it was too concentrated it made me feel ill. However the pickle juice had enough minerals to keep me satiated without being overwhelming and the apple cider vinegar balanced me out. No these do not break the fast. This is medically proven to aid with fasting, I didn't just come up with this btw. Also you may find yourself bloated with water as you lose weight and your body decides that it wants to fill the fat you lost with water. Potassium supplements can help with this. Just be careful with your dosage. Little goes a long way. You will pee A LOT. This is normal. You'll pee a lot in the beginning of your fast, as you drop water weight, especially when you got to bed. It slows down towards the middle when your body starts packing on the water. Potassium makes you start the hose again though. Anyway I hope this helps some people, gives some insight. Be careful. Take care of your bodies. Don't be stupid. I can do stupid things, but I try to be a self-aware and well informed idiot. That way I don't have anyone but myself to blame, because I know better.
