smokingforquarters replied to your quote post: replies are back??????
I am completely okay with this if that is the case, because it is hard to get that stupid little let people reply to this thing to pop up half the time even when I am asking a question!
I had a dream that you were petting my head because I was stressed out in a room full of 20 Loas. The petting was so soft and serene that I fell asleep in my dream and woke up... well, actually awake.
Dude that sounds really soothing? I dunno how good at petting I am but being surrounded by 20 Loas is a DREAM (even though realistically I know there can only be one–)

We’ve come full circle, I hate the immune system...
Okay but what are hypersensitivity reactions?
They are abnormal and/or exaggerated immune responses to substances that are inhaled, ingested or that come in contact with tissues.
There are four types of hypersensitivity reaction and they involve different parts of the immune system. They are also rather pervasive and are either directly involved in the pathophysiology of a disease or act as underlying complicating factors.
Type I Hypersensitivity: Involve IgE antibodies activating Mast Cells and causing massive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines
Type II Hypersensitivity: Involve IgG and/or IgM antibodies bound to cell-surface/matrix antigens which also stimulate inflammation
Type III Hypersensitivity: Involve antigen:antibody complexes building up and damaging tissues both physically and as pro-inflammatory complexes
Type IV Hypersensitivity: This is the only cell-mediated (rather than antibody mediated) reaction and it is caused by overactive T cells, it is also known as Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity
The take home message is that the immune system is built for killing/neutralising threats (with some regeneration afterward) so any deranged responses are highly toxic to tissues and is the main reason why my favourite sentence, “pathology is immune mediated” is so ubiquitous in medicine.

like the heavens

"Tanis-" Tas tugged the half-elf's cloak. "We could go by boat, Crystalmir Lake's only a short way. There're caves on the other side, and it will cut walking time tomorrow." "That's a good idea, Tas, but we don't have a boat." "No problem." The kender grinned. His small face and sharply pointed ears made him look particularly impish in the eerie light. Tas is enjoying all of this immensely, Tanis realized.

I AM AN ADULT... who just looked around their room and asked themself “Where’s my blankie?”
I loved you when I loved you, not when you could love me back.

My “if you laugh you have to reblog it” rule has resulted in a lot of “hahaha... *realizes* GRRRRRRRRRRRRR” directed at my computer.
