probably time I post an actual about-me post so here it goes:
Basic Info:
Kira, a late-20s disaster lesbian (she/her), Canadian
ADHD & mood disorders aplenty
I’m a writer, I have a college diploma in Professional Writing, and I will occasionally ramble about my writing (but rarely post any actual writing) - writing blog is @scytheswrites
My interests/hyperfixations change fairly regularly and I have no interest in creating individual blogs for each of my fandoms, so this blog is very much multi-fandom (but I always tag my fandom posts respectively for filtering purposes)
Current Interests/Fandoms/Hyperfixations:
House M.D. (multiship hell but nuts about camchase. I love all of the house ladies but primarily Thirteen and Cameron, accepting my fate as a Cameron Guy. Also a Chase guy, despite all odds)
Currently reading: Project Hail Mary
Other books: ASOIAF (finished main series June 2026, have yet to read Fire & Blood)
Longtime Interests/Fandoms:
Games: Dragon Age, Soulsbornes & Elden RIng, Fire Emblem, BG3, Zero Escape trilogy
Marvel (MCU and comics, haven’t seen all of the recent MCU content though)
Music: my taste is all over the place but my lifelong favorite artist is Paramore (late 2000s-early 2010s emo kid here), but i listen to all sorts of pop, alt, metal, k-pop, etc etc
Books: Faves are The Locked Tomb series, The Burning Kingdoms Trilogy, The Priory of the Orange Tree, & the Iron Widow series.
Ancient Interests/Fandoms (My Lore):
Twilight (I will still occasionally shitpost about Twilight)
Superwholock (but primarily Doctor Who, which will forever be in my heart and on my mind)
Carmilla (web series)
Orphan Black
I’ll update this info post as needed, DMs and Asks are always open!
I haaaaaate that the version of solitaire that comes with windows now is horribly ai ad-riddled. I’m forced to see so many fucked up hands just to slack off at work
I have reblogged this post on previous Wednesdays without adding anything to it, but I figured to respect the artist it might be a good idea to add a link to the source of the photo.
Anyway, Happy Mama Mia It's-A Wednesday Wrong Fucking Image Wednesday once again.
Look, we all know this is true. But there isn't a SOURCE for this, and the graph itself is basically illegible beyond "ooh colors". If we want to be good stewards of our informational resources, we need to cite our sources.
From a reverse image search, I found the website Show Your Stripes, run by the University of Reading in the UK, which is likely where the above graph originated. It provides temperature data for various regions of the world from approximately 1900-2025. For example, here are graphs for Canada, India, and Papua New Guinea:
All clearly show a sharp rise in temperature beginning around approximately the 1980s, which corresponds with the graph in OP's post. But now we know where this data came from, and we can verify its validity accordingly.
plots that I think would be fun in a 2026 version of house md:
the patient is a twitch streamer and streaming the whole time they’re in the hospital. somehow the chat comes up with something diagnostically relevant. (Imagining a mix of Epic Fail and Private Lives)
patient is an influencer and the team has to go break into the patient’s home except they live in a content house. nonsense ensues.
teen patient who’s vaping far too much. the vaping either causes the problem or is completely irrelevant to the problem. either way Cameron would be on her moral high horse about it. house confiscates the vape and now he won’t stop vaping and now the diagnostics office smells like artificial watermelon.
patient whose problem is somehow caused by buldak/spicy ramen. maybe there’s something about food racism in there and the spice/ingredients aren’t actually the root problem. the team tries spicy ramen and are unprepared for the spice level of buldak sauce
patient is a child (maybe some sort of neurological issue) and can/will only speak in Gen Alpha slang. the team has no idea what he’s saying. one of the team has to go to the kid’s school to investigate for toxins or something and they get roasted by children. someone’s getting called “unc”. probably chase. he’s incredibly sad about it.
trans patient doing DIY HRT and whatever their issue is has nothing to do with it but the team (probably Cameron and/or Chase) can’t overlook it as a cause of the problem because it’s “unsafe” (read: socioeconomic privilege). (this one isn’t even “fun” we just haven’t seen a trans patient like ever in this show)
drag queen whose problem is somehow an allergy to their makeup/prosthetics/something like that. one of the guys has to end up in drag at some point. the team has to go to a gay bar to find toxins.
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
begging fellow nonblack people to take antiblackness seriously. this includes digital blackface. why are all your memes and reaction images depicting Black people showing any sort of emotion. why do you find it acceptable to use AAVE as a "joke". remove your head from your ass and ponder that for a moment.
"hilson would be canon in 2026" implies that there was ever any sort of plan or deeper intention with them beyond their canon friendship. which, just... is not true lol. like that wouldn't be the same show
what ever happened to people shipping noncanon ships and accepting it? now everything's gotta be somehow coded or implied or something and everyone gets so pissy when you rightfully disagree
ok speaking of house md in 2026 again. you really have to consider the show in the context of the time it aired in order to imagine how that would translate into a modern setting, because some aspects simply don’t translate as easily to modern viewers. like how when they adapted Annie in 2014 they made Annie a Black foster kid, because that’s the closest modern equivalent to the intention behind Annie being a redhead in an orphanage in the 1930s. Consider what the creators were intending to convey and how that translates in modern day.
queer rep goes thru these cycles where every couple of years lgbt people are like "we get no rep in media and the representation we do get is way too sanitized and it feels so fake and flat. wheres the queer characters that are messy and flawed and REAL??"
then someone gets brave and makes a character who is a real bastard and makes all the wrong choices and is maybe even malicious at times and they make this character explicitly queer. and then fans are like "this is what you think of us?? worst representation ever" and the creator gets absolutely lambasted, ESPECIALLY if theyre queer themselves
then everyone else sees this and either thinks its too risky to include a queer character, or wants to make sure they're only doing the good and nice representation with no flaws or mistakes
then queer people are like "we get no rep in media and the representation we do get is way too sanitized and
and no im not blaming queer people for our own lack of representation, or when "representation" exists only to mock us and shame us. I am however saying: stop attacking queer creators for making queer characters who are nuanced and complicated and even ugly or cruel. theyre not reflecting you, their character isnt you. its just their character
