Master of AUs

I'm Al. 30, geoscientist, neurodivergent, writer, and hella queer Midwesterner. I mostly talk about cartoons, but dabble in underappreciated YA lit. My gender is the void and I miss dyeing my hair. Xie/xem/xers or they/them/theirs.

How many vampires do you think have been hit by a car backing up in a parking lot because the driver couldn't see their reflection

I’ve never considered it but you’re really shining light on what’s probably a very serious issue

More male characters who are interested in their mother's legacy. As a trope there's a lot of sons and daughters who follow in the father's footsteps and there's yes, girls who honor their mother, ect. But let's have more dudes who are like. Stumbling on their mom's secret fairy cottage or some shit. And they're like aight gotta make the tea

I will forever maintain that one of the next uses of the Nintendo 3DS's double screen was in the opening for Kingdom Hearts 3D.

You start out with Mickey a la Sorcerer's Apprentice on the bottom screen conducting an orchestra, then on the top screen, the events of the previous games play out in the typical Kingdom Hearts opening recap fashion.

While things are playing out, Mickey is impacted. For example, the wind picks up, and Mickey has to struggle against the wind. And when Roxas shows up, Mickey splits into two Mickies.

But THEN

Suddenly, the things happening on the top screen are looking super dire and scary, and Mickey is looking up at the top screen in shock and horror. Until.

He throws off his cute little Sorcerer's Apprentice robes and JUMPS UP FROM THE BOTTOM SCREEN TO JOIN THE FRAY.

Flawless. No notes.

Me last week: yeah I think staying home from work really helped me get over this cold. I think for once I might be able to avoid getting a sinus infection after having a cold!

Me now, still experiencing symptoms 10+ days after when I first got sick: hmm.

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.
