Rain is falling down on me, letting my mind waver to unwanted memories

I see a silhouette from afar, with a worried face and a yellow umbrella to her hand

Only then, I could breathe again, as your presence gets closer to me

And you start filling my mind with your face, making me feel relieved to have you by my side

With a sun-like coloured umbrella, you brighten my gloomy day like the first time we met.

Le rire s'éteint. Le rire devient larmes, devient tristesse et devient fureur. Rien ne m'a préparé à ma rage rugissante et malheureuse.

Being a part of an online art club has been good to me , artisticly speaking. I get to do 1 to 10 minutes sketch challenges along with other members and it is always a pleasure to get constructive criticism and give them or just compliment each other's art.

This drawing was a part of a 10 min challenge, that I unfortunately missed that day and ended up doing on my spare time, with no time restrictions obviously.

This was drawn from a reference photo of a boy with absolute beautiful hair T T

i mean this so seriously if you have any sort of creative project you can and should be a little obsessed with it. you should reread your own writing and look at your own art and brag about your ocs its literally good for your health

NCTZEN LIFE

Times to times I think about the NCT dedicated tumblr I made back in 2016. I was already a fan two years prior that and knew enough information about the pre-debut time, which lead me to want to share what many didn't know and promote the arrival of Nct. I was in my first year of high school probably and had a journal specifically made to collect information about the trainees, the schedule and anything interesting, funny and important. I remember having the best time of my life doing all that, it was an activity I remember pouring my heart into it, finding gems to share with nctzens was the best thing ever at that time. This lasted until December 30, 2019 (Yes I still remember the date, that's how sad I was). Every time I tried logging in, I was told my account couldn't be found, so I had to complain to Tumblr, but nothing came out this! Nothing made sense, searching the name of my account on google and not getting anything related to my posts made me feel terrible to say the least.

I had lost everything I have been working on for years...

I called it "The NCT world" / a simple name, that meant so much to me back then. In 2016 that name wouldn't have been that common compared to to now. The first NCT life just came out that time, people just started to get to know who the boys were, while I was waiting for Hansol, Yuta and Johnny to debut in NCT U as well. The wait was becoming way too long and we started questioning whether the boys, especially Hansol and Johnny were going to debut at all.

I thank Ten and Johnny for leaving sooooo many memeable funny resources on the internet, I had a blast sharing all of it!

My little space of freedom

I hope I am not the only one here doing this. I vent out and complain. Once I finish writing something, I feel like it is too personal to share with whoever comes across it on this platform and then I decide to hide it and keep it all to myself.

I hope I am not the only one here doing that aswell

AND a race one since the most affected regions will be Africa, Asia and Oceania

[rock-fish-deactivated20201231]

as a friend pointed out, this headline makes it sound like supply will be dwindling. supply is fine. people will be *priced out*.

[trekmemes-deactivated20220205]

this is fucking MURDER.

insulin has been mass produced (from animal extracts) since -1923-. slow acting insulin has existed since the ‘50s, and ‘human’ genetically engineered insulin (derived from E. coli bacteria) has existed since 1982.

insulin treatment for diabetes is not some new or ‘unproven’ treatment. according to beyondtype1, “Humalog rapid-acting insulin came on to the market with a list price of $21 a vial in 1997.” adjusting for inflation, a vial these days should cost about $34 at most. instead, it costs over $300. there is NO reason for it to be steadily gaining in price to the point that diabetics are unable to afford their lifesaving medication, other than the sheer inhuman greed of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

let me reiterate: life without insulin (for Type 1 diabetics in particular) is a slow and painful death sentence. the ability to treat diabetes is a relatively modern phenomenon that has allowed countless people to live full, healthy lives. we should be expanding full covereage and access to insulin to diabetics the world over, and it should be FREE.

Have y’all heard about Open Insulin Foundation?

“ We’re a team of biohackers with a variety of backgrounds, and skills, and relationships to insulin and diabetes from many cities and countries around the world, including Oakland, California; Baltimore, Maryland; Paraiba, Brazil; Dakar, Senegal; Yaounde, Cameroon; and Puerto Rico. We’re working to develop the first practical, small-scale, community-centered model for insulin production to make insulin accessible to all. We envision a world in which communities in need have local sources of safe, affordable, high-quality insulin, and where people living with diabetes and their communities can own and govern the organizations that produce the medicine they depend on to survive. 

What We Do

We are creating an open-source (freely available) model for insulin production that centers on sustainable, small-scale manufacturing and open-source alternatives to production. We are developing protocols to produce short-acting (lispro) and long-acting (glargine) insulin, working on developing open-hardware equivalents to traditional production equipment, are researching sustainable regulation pathways to bring our insulin to the public, and are building capacities for local, small-scale manufacturing.

How Do I Participate?

Our work would not be possible without the support of volunteers, interns, and community advisors. We welcome people of all backgrounds from all over the world to bring their enthusiasm, time, connections, and experiences, both in life and in work. Our volunteers promote us on social media, build equipment, run experiments, write reports and blog posts, facilitate meetings, connect with other organizations and groups, meet with experts in the field, run virtual events, and contribute in designing tools, resources, and methods of all sorts.

Potential Partners

We welcome collaboration with other groups that share our mission―community labs, academic institutions, patient advocacy groups, and NGOs.

Donate

Your donation will help us get closer to our goal. With a healthy financial situation, we can pay for lab supplies, acquire lab equipment, recruit scientists, and pay for consultation fees for regulation and manufacturing experts.”

Handsome Regency men appreciation post

I am watching a woman simping over Regency/Georgian(era) men on youtube because why not, right? and now, I have become this woman as well, all thank to Mr Darcy!

Though, I will forever be grateful to my high school english teacher who made me discover Jane Austen who leveled up my standard in men and also made me be obsessed over anything regency/Georgian(books, movies, series, art).

I really can't move on from the first time I watched some parts of "pride & prejudice" along with my classmates and decided to watch the whole movie after school and It was an instant love. Since then, I have watched the movie god knows how many times and read the book both in english and french (which was beautifully translated ).

I get we all can't move on from it
