there is For Sure something wrong with me because i've been reading hundreds of analysis posts by scuba divers on fatal cave diving incidents this weekend, and it's very interesting. nitrogen narcosis is just generally sort of a horrifying concept

deep water is a scary as fuck environment to be in! it turns out!

there's something about Systems That Absolutely Must Be Reliable that i just enjoy learning about. there are a lot of analogous procedures and structures from one system to another.

stuff like post-crash analysis of doomed flights and the us chemical safety board's videos dissecting explosions....it's fucking catnip to me. what choices did people make that led to a specific disaster? what organizational failures allowed someone's error to turn into a catastrophe?

love that shit. ESPECIALLY when the emphasis is not on finding fault, but preventing a similar disaster

#ope you went too far down you are no longer able to think clearly or rationally #also oxygen is now fatal #cannot believe the number of people who were like ''the 40m limit won't hurt us if we just do it quick''#and then die bc they brought regular air instead of trimix #genuinely horrifying. really interesting to read about though!#also ''funny'' (i use that term. loosely.) to read about actual diving practices after playing jfo #and making an effort to suspend disbelief at the depth that cal and cere were swimming at #i HAD considered that cal probably would have died from the bends. knew about that hazard!#i had NOT known about nitrogen narcosis or oxygen toxicity or decompression stops or or or or or #ultimately it's fiction blah blah whatever #but it IS fascinating to consider whether star wars rebreathers are somehow putting helium into the gas mix below 40m #and if there's like. a built-in dive computer hooked into the comms #did they think that much about it? almost certainly not. and that's fine #but I'M thinking about it lmao #anyway. the concept of ''you went too deep and it made you crazy'' is something i may try to write about but with some kind of sw bullshit #death mention #drowning mention

Lady of Orda Cave by Natalia Avseenko and Phototeam.PRO

Two-time world champion free diver Natalia Avseenko ventured deep into Ordynskaya Cave in Perm, Russia… one of the longest and biggest underwater gypsum caves in the world, dressed as the mythical Lady of the Cave, a spirit who protects divers inside the “natural cathedral”.

Official ominous sign

#well this has led me down an absolutely fascinating (horrifying!) rabbit hole of reading about people dying during cave dives #was trying to figure out why a sign in russia would be in english #i think it's plausible because the organization that places these signs is real + this photoshoot is real #just struck me as odd!#but it's been VERY interesting to read about this stuff.#really enjoying the heated debates on a scuba forum from 2010 looool #apparently there are different conventions for line placement in europe vs north america #(lines which get you out of a cave zone and into a cavern--but in north america the lines don't go all the way to open water)#(because the thinking is that having lines in open water will accidentally ENCOURAGE people to go into the cave zone and die)#and Everybody seems to have strong opinions about which style is safer. really interesting debate

stage 1 of liking media: yeah this thing is pretty good!

stage 2 of liking media: haha remember when blorbo bleepus did that thing that was so funny

stage 3 of liking media: huh this one song is kind of blorbo bleepus… if you think about this other song is also kind of blorbo bleepus

stage 4 of liking media: blorbo bleepus is really interesting… here’s a sensible analysis post

stage 5 of liking media: FUCK. THE CHARACTER. THE CHARACTER IM HAVING A CHARACTER ATTACK

stage 6 of liking media: well let’s see what ao3 has to offer!

stage 7 of liking media: everything goes on my character playlist. this song with no lyrics is about blorbo bleepus exploding a building and looking really cool. if this lyric was an entirely different sentence it would fit perfectly

stage 8 of liking media: who wants to hear about these characters new pronouns and mobility aids

#.......i think i speedran this with cal kestis tbh

that fucking case.

hospital trying to discharge person (who is clearly dying) because of an insurance issue, person has no family left to help/just one acquaintance who's involved, hospital staff are just being complete assholes to the acquaintance and nobody actually knows how any of this shit works except me apparently, so i'm left to try to solve the issue and i have a solution but it's not immediate so it may not even fucking work. they may literally discharge this person to their house, where there's a solid chance the person will just die.

feels like finding a baby bird you know is going to die but keeping it warm and feeding it anyway because you have a duty to do it. it's the right thing to do. will it mean anything if the bird dies? maybe not. but you still have a duty to do it.

i dont know how you avoid losing pieces of yourself when you just watch people get chewed up constantly by a terrible, indifferent machine and there is very little you can do to stop it. especially when no one wants to slow down the gears. what the fuck

baby bird died again.

hospital's independent review board decided the discharge was appropriate despite the person dying 3 days after the discharge. they came to this conclusion the day the person died, about a week after posting this.

#it's been a pretty bad....whatever unit of time you'd care to supply #and on top of this: the asshole coworker now insisting that we don't help with medicaid. go fuck yourself!#we would have fewer crisis cases if more people stepped the fuck up and did the right thing!#i refuse to contribute to a system of cruelty. fuck you!#death mention #depressing content
