« It took 5 days to rescue Noble. He walked the streets of Honduras. No food, covered in tumors and open wounds. It was told that locals were throwing bowling water at him. Someone pleaded for us to help. Noble was wondering around the town and 2 people reported him because he was not only starving but getting abused by vendors. 1 sells water and scalded him with hot water to get him away (one video showed him drinking from puddles on floor), another report of sodomy from someone else. Melissa went out for 5 days in the heat wave trying to capture him. The last day, it took a few volunteers to trap him as he had an extreme fear of people when attempting to touch or leash him. Noble is safe but very ill. The tumors are disturbing. He will need further evaluation and more will be known after chemotherapy sessions. Please help us help Noble. »

The pictures were too heartbreaking for me to post. If you can’t donate, at least please reblog.

#PayItForwardFC

My Fic Recs:

HOMG I’m staring at my… 966 Viktuuri bookmarked works (what is wrong with me) and I feel like crying Okay okay so I love *~fantasy~* AU’s so here are some that I think should get more attention:

Fic Title/Link: A Tale Carved on Ice by @adorafics Rated: T Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: Complete (2656 words) Summary: “He met him in the heart of winter, when the powdered snow was still woven with magic and the ancient forest was succumbing to glair-white brilliance…” A bittersweet tale about the magic we lost and the one we found again.

– This fic is short but it gutted me. The plot, the language! If you like beautiful, bittersweet, fairytale-esque stories, this one’s for you!

Fic Title/Link: When Night Falls, I Love You Again by @yuuris-piano Rated: G Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: Complete (7100 words) Summary: Will you dance with me…one last time?“ ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, except for the magic of love and life. For you see, magic would come down the chimney and rub onto all the decorations. This magic gave the decorations a period where they could celebrate in the festive fun and cheer. And so the story begins…

– LIKE AN ARROW THROUGH THE HEART. Reminded me of Toy Story, or The Nutcracker; I would also recommend this story for those who like magical realism.

Fic Title/Link: wild mint blossoms by @selkiegirls​​ Rated: M Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: WIP (Chapters 2 out of 3 complete, 24530 words) Summary: In the land of the fae, Viktor falls in love the same way that he loses himself: with yuuri at his side and with the lingering scent of mint surrounding them both like a whisper.

– Viktor and fairy!Yuuri go on an adventure. Okay it’s way better than I make it sound; the worldbuilding is fascinating, the prose is beautiful and the story immersive WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT

Fic Title/Link: The Mark He Left Behind by @khaleeshli​​ Rated: T Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: Complete (8757 words) Summary: Viktor Nikiforov falls in love with a kitsune named Yuuri at the age of sixteen. Fate decides to pull Viktor away from Yuuri before their love can fully flourish. Viktor learns about love, Yakov interjects his opinions, and Yuuri is just pretty.

– IT HAS LITERALLY BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND I’M STILL SCREAMING AT VIKTOR (read this and its sequel and you’ll see why)

Fic Title/Link: Your eyes could drown a city by @salanayuniasis Rated: G Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: Complete (4257 words) Summary: “Ocean, beautiful, selfish Ocean, wrap me up in foam, I am your betrothed. You who returns to the earth only the boats and the men you want to give back, give me the gold of the sumptuous sinking vessels, give me their treasures, bring in my town handsome sailors that I shall gaze upon. But, oh, don’t be jealous, I’ll give them back to you, one after the other.”

– Look I am a sucker for fairytale-esque stories with poetic prose don’t judge me also if it isn’t obvious already my reviews don’t do any of these stories justice

Fic Title/Link: will lose my desire for you (never my love) by @sinkingorswimming Rated: M Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: WIP (Chapters 1 out of 2 complete, 16146 words) Summary: Victor is ten when he leaves home to fine tune his alchemy, nineteen when he meets Katsuki Yuuri, twenty when he becomes a State Alchemist and a husband, and twenty-two when a teen named Yuri Plisetsky begins to report to him. His world changes drastically a few years later, and when Victor makes a decision that cannot be undone, he unlocks a mystery and crosses paths with a man only known as Lust. 

– I could have sworn this fic was finished… BUT I AM DEFINITELY NOT OPPOSED TO MORE. I never finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist but this AU I think really incorporates the series’ spirit.

Also I seem to just be reccing fics that made me cry omg why 

okay HERE

Fic Title/Link: I breathe for You, Only You by @narcissuspseudonarcissus​ Rated: M Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: Complete (35187 words) Summary: V’tor is a bronze dragon rider, destined to lead a weyr with his fire-breathing dragon Makkath in the age long battle against the terrifying organism they call thread. Yuuri is a dancer with a love of dragons, one of the first ballet dancers; having been able to access the newly discovered records from the colonists ancient computer system AIVAS.

– Love this Dragonriders of Pern AU! Get your dragons, romance, and adventure with none of the homophobia here

Fic Title/Link: ephemeral; by @gia-comeatme Rated: M Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: WIP (Chapters 1 out of 2 complete, 5919 words) Summary: Yuuri only wanted to get a tattoo as a reminder of how far he’d come, but instead, all it served to do was to remind him of how much he’s lost. Viktor was just supposed to be his tattoo artist, until he wasn’t, and then was again. :: The Olympics is all about stories. The only thing Viktor wants is to remember theirs, and yet all Yuuri wants is to forget.

– *flails* amazing urban fantasy with tattoo artist Viktor, figure skater Yuuri, and a really intriguing plot 8D 

Fic Title/Link: Pink Champagne on Ice by @lorienleylines   Rated: M Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: WIP (Chapters 4 out of ? complete, 20383 words) Summary: Welcome to Yu-topia Inn! Run by a darling family of bake-danuki demons, this remote Gilded Age manor is chock full of fine-polished rooms to ignore the outside world in. Yuuri Katsuki, the youngest member of the small family that runs Yu-topia, has barely seen life outside of the Inn’s walls. He spends his days caring for the guests – in more than one way. During the day, he brings them food and drinks, but during the night, he keeps watch for other demons that may come and try to hurt them. It’s a monotonous, routine life for a demon, but Yuuri isn’t complaining. Still, he can’t help but feel excited when his childhood friend, the ice-bending vampire Viktor, comes to stay. But Viktor isn’t coming as a guest this time; he has an ulterior motive, and Viktor’s decisions that may bring more adventure and drama than Yuuri ever hoped for.

– Vampire!Viktor and bake-danuki!Yuuri– how could I resist? (I couldn’t) These two are so adorable, plus there’s the drama of Viktor’s family X3

Fic Title/Link: the voice of your heart by @maclaeroni    Rated: G Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: Complete (1751 words) Summary: The thing about having emotion as the very basis of your magic is that when something doesn’t align with your heart, it becomes painfully obvious. Viktor may not be able to use songs to create magic like Yuuri does, but even he knows that something is bothering Yuuri.

– I just really love this worldbuilding and of course Viktor and Yuuri’s relationship X3

Fic Title/Link: Keep Their Colours True by @pensversusswords Rated: M Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: WIP (Chapters 3 out of ? complete, 12947 words) Summary: Viktor Nikiforov, the Crown Prince of Pobeda, embodies everything Yuuri has heard about him; strikingly beautiful, kind, blessed with hair as silver as starlight that falls down to his waist, has a smile that could make the coldest heart tremble, and–most importantly–he is completely unattainable. Katsuki Yuuri is sworn to protect the Crown Prince with his skill, his dedication, and his life if necessary. The problem is that Viktor doesn’t seem to be content with staying out of reach. He is stubbornly determined to find a place in Yuuri’s life with his smile like sunshine, his infectious exuberance, his friendly disposition. Yuuri was just supposed to protect Viktor. He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with him.

– Age swap royalty fantasy AU with Yuuri as Viktor’s bodyguard. The pining! The drama! I am LIVING

Fic Title/Link: Foxfire by @awesometinyhumanbeing Rated: Not Rated Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Status: WIP (Chapters 1 out of 2 complete, 12852 words) Summary: He's—Yuuri stops. Mine doesn’t sound quite right. For me. His eyes are smarting, suddenly. He excuses himself with a mumbled apology, hurries to any place that will hide him away. Vulnerability floods through him, makes him clumsy and sensitive. He’s for me, Yuuri thinks, and he’s crying, crying, crying. (The forest is Yuuri’s home, and the kitsune are his kin. Victor teaches him what it means to be human.)

– an AU with Japanese folklore elements, kitsune, beautiful descriptive writing, and a tender Viktor/Yuuri romance.

Diabetes Patients Are Losing Limbs And Sight Because They Can’t Afford Insulin

Earlier this week, we shared the concerns of patients who are struggling with the rising cost of EpiPens, injection devices that can save lives in the case of a severe allergic reaction to foods or…

More on skyrocketing drug costs in the United States

[jewishdragon]

@fangirlinginleatherboots 

[dr-archeville]

“A medical professor who has tracked the cost of insulin over the years says that a one-month supply of a popular version that cost $45 wholesale in 2001 cost $1,447 14 years later, an increase of almost 3,000%.  That’s the wholesale price, not the retail price that an uninsured patient would pay.“

Yeah, that’s messed up.

[guayabaprince]

Wow, it’s really rare I see something cross my dash that’s actually directly tied to my life on a personal level, but yea, I’m Diabetic Type 1 and this is a problem.

I’ve been off insurance for the last three or so years and have been working around through channel I can to continue to obtain insulin and supplies for my insulin pump (of which is currently a problem, fun) for free or at reduced costs.

The Lilly Cares program is one I heavily endorse if your insulin is a Lilly product. They’ve been incredibly helpful to me.

Please spread the word on this. There are a lot of young Diabetics like myself that do not have a support system, do not have insurance, and do not have jobs. Insulin is literally a life-sustaining medication for T1 Diabetics. Please do not just ignore this.

[mintyliciousbjd]

T1 diagnosed over 20 years ago here. Back when I was out of work in 2009 I contacted Lilly Cares and I swear I would not be alive if not for that program. T1s need insulin to live. Daily. Our bodies do not produce the hormone because our immune systems backfired and killed our pancreas’ islet cells.

These days one bottle of insulin costs me approx $600 (before insurance) and lasts 2-3 weeks, tops. Less than ten years ago the cost was closer to $200/bottle. The insulin manufacturers keep “tweaking” insulins like Humalog so the patents can be extended(*), so we don’t even have access to a generic option.

The price gouging on insulin in this country is cruel and damn disgusting.

Please, please boost this info. It WILL save lives.

(*) a fact that even my endocrinologist has confirmed!

[acepalindrome]

Good thoughts: Victor and Yuuri, approaching their fiftieth wedding anniversary, the cutest elderly couple there ever was. Victor’s gone bald and Yuuri’s nearly blind even with this thick coke-bottle glasses and they’ve both been suffering arthritis and knee replacements and no end of joint trouble from their years on the ice…and they’re still so happy and so in love.

Yuuri falls asleep in the middle of everything these days, they could be in the middle of a conversation and Victor leaves for just a second to use the bathroom and Yuuri’s snoozing by the time he gets back. He doesn’t mind though, because then he gets to wake Yuuri up with a kiss. Victor still calls him ‘sleeping beauty.’

They still go out to watch big competitions every now and then, but going out is hard when you’re old and tired so they mostly just watch skating on TV in their matching arm chairs side by side (arranged close enough for them to hold hands.) They’re both legends in sports history, so commentators will reference the two of them from time to time. They’re also well known as the cutest old couple ever. The Stammi Vicino duet always makes the top ten lists of the most memorable performances ever. They both cry every time clips from it are played (or the footage of their first kiss, which also gets replayed a lot. They’re equally famous as the greatest love story in sports history as they are for their athletic achievements.)

They both walk with canes and are a bit unsteady on their feet these days, but that doesn’t stop them from slow dancing together in their living room on quiet evenings. Yuuri jokes that he needs an oxygen tank because Victor takes his breath away.

I just want them old and happy and still so in love after all these years!
