Well well well… I actually ended up loving today’s Tere Bin episode after some time. And surprisingly NOT because of any MM scene. There weren’t any other than flashbacks but oh how it pulled at my heartstrings 🥺

- Yumna Zaidi: say what you will about meerab and her warped logic, but man does Yumna’s acting save meerab every time. You think you won’t forgive meerab this time, but then Yumna acts and the rest is history. She owns the screen

- the gold chain scene !!! The way she gives that away instead of money and then remembers how he once helped her wear it. That moment. MY HEART. THEM. I CANT DEALLLLL. Everything reminded her of him. Everything !!!

- WAHAJ: first of all that black kurta is just sinfully hot on him. How dare he. Angst shouldn’t look this tempting. I love love love that entire scene. This is where you have to give tere bin credit. It really knows how to use its side characters well to serve the story. The Murtasim Bakhtu scene is a GEM. The dialogue. “Aap ne kabhi Khud ko loota hai?” Wow. He’s in pain because it was their first time and it happened while their trust was broken, they fought, and it was a total mess. Because in his heart, what could have been? If they had been in a better place and it had been a tender moment instead of rage and chaos driven. He waited forever for her and when they finally came together it happened under terrible circumstances. And bakhtu… such a precious loyal angel. Officially murtasim’s confidante. “Apna dil qaabu main rakhain. Bohat raaz hain dafan es main” “Aap pe 100 jaan qurbaan” won my heart

- “Main marr gya hoon keh khan ko aise bulla rahe ho?” 😂😂😂 It was a bakhtu win day today

- the way murtasim enters the house … just completely broken. Shawl barely hanging on. Totally defeated. Wahaj nailed that moment

- Nauraiz becoming Murtasim 2.0. The way he stood up for maryam and silenced Maa Begum and Murtasim. 👏 👏 👏 I knew maryam did the right thing confiding in this guy. At least one couple is off to a great start in marriage.

- my only qualm in this episode is why why WHY murtasim FAILS TO ADDRESS HAYA. Dude, she was the reason you and meerab fought, she literally tricked and hugged you less than 12 hours ago, you told her you’ll see to her if she doesn’t confess and yet… you continue to do NOTHING about this huge problem. No wonder meerab has had enough. The way murtasim deals with haya after he finds out something she did is completely unacceptable. He’s so lenient ! What is this behavior. I hate this aspect of him. Deal with this woman already. Send her to the village. Set her up with someone. ANYTHING

Even Nauraiz didn’t tell everyone out loud it was haya who lied to him. Another act of hers that went unpunished. It would be so unsatisfying if she is dealt with in the very last episode. Because she’s annoyed the audience for almost 50 episodes now. She needs to get her due and soon

Anyway looking forward to the next episode: murtasim is gonna lose it when he finds out meerab is gone. Furious, on edge murtasim is always a treat to watch. Guess what he’s gonna say a lot: MERI BIWI 😂😂 I love him your honor

Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

Yahoo’s grand plan for Tumblr was to turn it into a “next-generation PDF”

They didn't really get it.

[noctumsolis]

What does that even mean? PDF as in Portable Document Format?

[sreegs]

i cannot stress enough that i dont think yahoo even knew what a pdf was

[give-soup-please]

we need to talk about the fact that for many of the posters in season one, they are literally on opposite sides and/or have a dividing line between them

and now they're literally crossed over in some way for the season 2 posters

THEY'RE LITERALLY ON THEIR OWN SIDE NOW, PEOPLE!

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

King Charles III will be the new face of Canada's $20 bill, coins

Amid celebrations marking King Charles III’s coronation, the Canadian government announced its $20 banknote and coins will be getting a fres

Canada's $20 banknote and coins will be getting a new look featuring King Charles III, the federal government announced amid celebrations marking the King’s coronation.

Following the historic coronation on Saturday, the Bank of Canada said its next design process will replace Queen Elizabeth II's portrait with King Charles' on the $20 bill. Additionally, the Royal Canadian Mint will redesign Canadian coins to feature an effigy of the King, keeping up with the century-old tradition of having the reigning monarch appear on Canadian coins.

No details were given regarding when the redesign process would take place, but the federal government says Canadians should expect to see the design of the new coin effigy “in the coming months.” Meanwhile, updates to the $20 bill will likely “take a few years.”

The announcements came as members of the Royal Family, invited guests and millions worldwide witnessed King Charles’ coronation, the first to take place since his mother’s in 1953. [...]

Bruce Prader-Willis

My dumb way to remember Prader Willis syndrome. 

*****NOTE: THIS IS NOT THERAPEUTIC, THIS IS GROSS STEREOTYPING TO MEMORIZE A TEXTBOOK ANSWER. THERE ARE LOTS OF VARIATIONS OF PRESENTATIONS, REFERENCES TO OBESITY ARE NOT A JUDGEMENT CALL******

Pathophys: Usually caused by deletion of Paternal Chromosome 15. 

Clinical vignette: Usually male. Small hands and feet, SGA as infants, insatiable hunger as teens --> obesity, mild/mod developmental delay

So chunky kid, mildly delayed, with small hands and feet, loves to eat. . Remind you of anyone?

Now how to remember this Bruce is an example of Prader-Willis? Easy...Kid grew up to star in Die Hard!

Update, now a bumbling final year with real imposter syndrome, feeling dumb, like I know nothing, studying for my listening exam in 4 days! Stay tuned for dumb things I’ve googled, stupid question and lots of angst!

See my poor side blog about my angsty med journey. Be prepared to slow updates and lots of poor self-talk. 

Now in the second stage of...whoops I forgot this exists, let's try and sustain this as a resident.

[friendshiptothemax]

I was on a plane this weekend, and I was chatting with the woman sitting next to me about an upcoming writer’s strike. “Do you really think you’re mistreated?” she asked me.

That’s not the issue at stake here. Let me tell you a little something about “minirooms.”

Minirooms are a way of television writing that is becoming more common. Basically, the studio will hire a small group of writers, 3-6 or so, and employ them for just a few weeks. In those few weeks (six weeks seem to be common), they have to hurriedly figure out as much about the show as they can – characters, plots, outlines for episodes. Then at the end of the six weeks, all the writers are fired except for the showrunner, who has to write the entire series themselves based on the outlines.

This is not a widespread practice, but it has become more common over the past couple of years. Studios like it because instead of paying for a full room for the full length of the show, they just pay a handful of writers for a fraction of the show. It’s not a huge problem now, but the WGA only gets the chance to make rules every three years – if we let this go for another three years and it becomes the norm? That would be DEVASTATING for the tv writing profession.

Do I feel like I’m mistreated? No. I LOVE my job! But in a world of minirooms, there is no place for someone like me – a mid-level writer who makes a decent living working on someone else’s show (I’d like to be a showrunner someday, but for now I feel like I still have a lot to learn, and my husband and I are trying to start a family so I like not being support rather than the leader for now). In a miniroom, there are only two levels – the handful of glorified idea people who are already scrambling to find their next show because you can’t make a decent living off of one six-week job (and since there are fewer people per room, there are fewer jobs overall, even at the six-week amount), and the overworked, stressed as fuck showrunner who is going to have to write the entire thing themselves. Besides being bad for me making a living, I also just think it’s plain bad for television as an art form – what I like about TV is how adaptable it is, how a whole group of people come together to tell a story better than what any of them could do on their own. Plus the showrunner can’t do their best work under all of that pressure, episode after episode, back to back. Minirooms just…fucking suck.

The WGA is proposing two things to fix this – a rule that writers have to be employed for the entire show, and a rule tying the number of writers in the room to the number of episodes you have per season. I don’t think it’s unreasonable. It’s the way shows have run since the advent of television. It’s only in the last couple of years that this has become a new thing. It’s exploitative. It squeezes out everyone except showrunners and people who have the financial means to work only a few months a year. It makes television worse. And that is the issue in this strike that means everything to me, and that is why I voted yes on the strike authorization vote.

[roomwithavoid]

allow me to rant for a moment about how people talk about a certain character

angel from lilo and stitch

i often see angel brought up in conversation about how media portrays “the girl version of characters” as being pink, with long eyelashes, wide hips, and long hair.

people have a tendency to site angel as one of these characters. while i won’t deny that she has these features, i think people often leave out the context of why these features are present.

angel’s purpose (when created by jumbah) was to revert any experiments that had stopped being destructive back to their intended nature. she is, by design, essentially a siren.

her introduction is her seducing stitch so that she can sing her song to him. (this does not work because of a flaw in her design, but that’s not relevant)

she is designed to lure in other experiments. that is why she’s traditionally feminine and seductive.

while i’m sure marketing played a large factor in her creation, i think it’s important to keep in mind that she isn’t just “girl stitch.” she follows such similar design principles to him because she’s only two experiments prior (624 vs 626).

there are a bunch of female experiments in the lilo and stitch canon, and angel is pretty much the only one who looks like this.

i just wanted to share this for those who aren’t aware since it bothers me a little when people talk about my girl angel like that. rant over lol.

LOST CAT - PEMBROKE, NC

Hello all,

different post than normal.

My beloved cat, Salem, got scared and slipped her harness February 7th, 2023, at roughly 10:30 pm - 11 pm, in Pembroke, NC.

As of Feb 10th, Salem is still missing.

I live at some of the apartments out there, which is around where she escaped.

Salem is very skittish and shy, and is an indoor only cat. She has never been on her own before and I am incredibly worried about her. I have been doing everything that I can think of to try and get her back or get people on the lookout for her.

While I know this is mostly focused on the Pembroke Town/Robeson County area of NC, you never know who lives where when they follow you.

She is a calico/tabby mix (brown-grey/white/orange), medium/long hair. She has yellow-green eyes. She is roughly 10lbs. And she is almost 2 years old. She is microchipped.

I have alerted every shelter, animal control, vet, facebook page, etc, within the next 50 miles. And that isn't a joke - one place is in the next state. I have contacted every apartment complex. I even have an Instagram ad running about her within a 10 mile radius (it would not let me do more). Tomorrow (02/10) I am printing flyers and putting them up. I have her litter box, dry food, wet food, fresh water and her mat outside. I have my door wide open. And I have been physically walking and calling for her in the area.

Any and all tips are being taken at this time, either message me here or at the number listed on her Missing picture. Thank you.

GoFundMe

PayPal (preferred method)

Any and all help is appreciated. I just want my beanie-baby safe here at home. She is my world, and not having her here is tearing me up. I'm wearing myself thin searching for her.

[drawing-prompt-s]

Salem is still missing and I am desperately behind on rent and bills right now because my job has been slacking in available tasks/hours for the last two weeks. It is a first come-first serve sort of job which is not making my life any easier (yes, I am looking for a new one, but no bites yet).

Anything helps.

Here is a screenshot of an ask I just answered where it goes more in-depth.

[drawing-prompt-s]

This is still the current predicament that i am in by the way. I am still focused mostly on rent money at this time.
