@ferre-play BIG SCARY BUG IN YOUR ROOM JUST RAN UNDER THE DESK COME ASAP

[ferre-play]

On my way. Enjolras if you see this do not intervene

[monsieur-sunshine]

Sorry if I woke you with my scream @enjolmarx 😞

[enjolmarx]

maybe we should clean more often? 😩

[ferre-play]

I mean, yes, that’s probably a good idea, but Baz Jr’s appearance is almost definitely unrelated. He’s not really the kind of bug that likes to make himself at home in other people’s dirty flats, the same way ants or centipedes or spiders might. I probably left a window open, or accidentally brought him in on my jacket after I went hiking with Jehan and Baz Sr. He’s about the same color as the jacket I wore, so he could’ve blended right in.

OK I HAVE THE LITTLE GUY. THERE’S A SPARE TERRARIUM IN MY CLOSET. IT’S A LITTLE SMALL BUT IT’LL DO FOR NOW. CAN YOU GET IT PLEASE

[monsieur-sunshine]

Thank you for rescuing me ☹️ how is he doing in his little enclosure?? And also what is he anyway???

[ferre-play]

Male Lucanus cervus stag beetle! I think his terrarium should suit nicely now that we’ve got it all set up. I’m taking name suggestions. Something tough.

[monsieur-sunshine]

He's very cool in the terrarium. I would like him to stay there instead of scuttling around my feet while I'm trying to relax in the evening. How did he get in, anyway???

You should name him Bahorel Jr if you're looking for a tough name.

[ferre-play]

I cannot fathom how he got in here, but I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

@bahorelofmonkeys Do you approve of this?

[bahorelofmonkeys]

I approve, I approve and am honored!! Gosh dang, look at that motherfucker! Beautiful beetle.

[ferre-play]

Bahorel Jr. it is, then!

[solshroomii]

what are you bringing to the barricade?

actual supplies and furniture; this is not a game for rich young boys to play

a guitar (in place of the piano which was used last year)

even bigger coffins than last time resulting in even bigger symbolism

water gun full of the potion sellers strongest potions

a tote bag full of buzzballz and also one chair

pirated copy of drag race season 7 we'll watch instead of singing drink with me

obligatory barricade cow

happy meal bought from the mcdonald's where the cafe musain was

Voting ended onJun 7

year 2 of barricade poll baby now with even wackier options (a reminder of year 1)

mcdonald's suggestion brought to you by @enjscurls

[urchin-of-paris]

hey peoples if we were barricading again what would we bring?

i'd bring Missy if i didn't know she'd bring herself. so a guitar because music yay.

@freeradicow @enjolmarx @unwanted-pylades @ferre-play @monsieur-sunshine @soft-hearted-poet @not-your-eponine someone please tag the others i've forgotten...

[ferre-play]

3 guns

[musichetta-lesmisrp]

I love @holly-jolly-joly and @bald-baller to death!! I do!! But if theres one thing ive learned from been in a polyamorus relationship, its that now I have two people getting mad at me when they ask what I've eaten and I tell them "coffee".

[bahorelofmonkeys]

Me, who is not even in a relationship, but still has @louiseenjolras and @soft-hearted-poet at my neck for my eating habits 😭

[musichetta-lesmisrp]

honestly some people just cant accept coffee as a food 🤷‍♀️

[monsieur-sunshine]

I am one of them. Both my roommates have similar eating habits and I won't have it. Except, I can barely cook, so if their diet is grilled cheese and coffee instead of just coffee I'd be happy

[holly-jolly-joly]

[holly-jolly-joly]

NOT YOU TOO?!

[ferre-play]

Courf already said so, didn’t he? And besides, I’m working on it. Slowly.

[sealzandsuckystuff]

Stupid niko rolls around like a stupid thing and does stupid stuff

[bahorelofmonkeys]

Low key reminded me of @monsieur-sunshine when he's board

[monsieur-sunshine]

This is an accurate portrayal of how I sleep at night @ferre-play can confirm

[ferre-play]

Confirmed

Since finals, I’ve been thinking a lot about how medicines are often also poison.

Derivatives of foxglove and nightshade are both used to treat heart conditions. Warfarin—also used as rat poison—is used as an anticoagulant. And of course, many medicines are lethal in too high of doses.

Since I’m working towards becoming an oncologist, I’m mainly thinking about this in the context of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy treatments today are far, far better than they were even a decade ago, but they’re still poisons.

The goal with chemotherapy isn’t exactly to heal the patient. It’s to kill the cancer faster than you kill the patient. Chemo is cytotoxic—it kills cells. That’s its job.

Doxorubicin is known for damaging heart function. Cyclophosphamide damages the bladder. Most chemotherapy attacks bone marrow, nearly eliminating the patient’s immune function. That’s not to mention the simple discomfort associated with chemo drugs—pain, fatigue, nausea.

You know I’ve always wanted the good to be innocent. I like the idea that I can help people without causing pain along the way. I still have hope that in many areas of life, this is possible. But not here. Not yet, anyway. With the current standard treatments, I’ll need to poison my future patients in order to heal them. That doesn’t sit well with me.

What’s the takeaway? I’m not sure. I guess it’s just a reminder that there’s still so much work to be done. Hopefully I can help with more research studies related to less dangerous cancer treatments next year. Maybe even alternatives to cytotoxins altogether, though that’s possibly wishful thinking.

I mostly just wanted to ramble. That’s what tumblr is for, right? It feels good to write all that out.

[louiseenjolras]

Man, I‘m so glad I‘m not studying anything serious!

[ferre-play]

Oh, you and I both know literature is just as important. We’re using the written word right now, for goodness’ sakes. I don’t have the numbers on this, of course, but I’m sure just as many lives have been saved or improved by ideas as by medicine.

[enjolmarx]

Why am I even surprised that @unwanted-pylades drinks irish coffee? However, at least his design ideas are good so far.

[unwanted-pylades]

You can't blame me for getting some good Irish coffee for a decent price! I had a great time btw. You really need to chill with some of your organizing. You know every once in a while it's great to just sit down and take a breath you don't need to carry this whole thing on your back

[not-your-eponine]

good advice? From my Grantaire? Impossible.

[ferre-play]

Why did I make this

[enjolmarx]

Don’t worry about the noise, @ferre-play @monsieur-sunshine . There was a spider in my room. I tried to shoot it. I missed.

[monsieur-sunshine]

Enjolras I love you but in what way is that an appropriate use for a gun

[enjolmarx]

I had nothing else at hand

[ferre-play]

A SHOE? A TISSUE? EVEN A BOOK? Preferably one with a book jacket so that the bug can be cleaned off of it, but FOR FUCK’S SAKE, ENJOLRAS

[enjolmarx]

A TISSUE?? You expect me to touch that abomination??? 😭

[ferre-play]

Well, no. I’d be shocked. Just call me in there next time, okay? I won’t mind.

[freeradicow]

Humans are so frail it's easy to forget how resilient they can be.

[unwanted-pylades]

You calling me weak???? @bahorelofmonkeys how much do you bet I could use missy as my heavy weights?

[bahorelofmonkeys]

Um, no. No, my dude, please don't. Your back! Would be broken! Not even @holly-jolly-joly and @ferre-play together could save you. It's not a question of strength at this point. Missy is a creature on a different scale, a different plane even.

[ferre-play]

Telling him not to is basically the same thing as egging him on, I fear.

That said, R, I don’t recommend it.
