Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.

tragic: mutual puts a fandom poll on your dash begging you to vote for blorbo bleebus but you know in your heart that the other option, blingus blarbo, is the correct choice. on some judas shit. forgive me brother for you have forced my hand.

being too warm during the day: well, this sucks, but this temperature makes sense because the sun is up, and the sun is making me warm. i am unhappy but logically i can deal with it for now.

being too warm at night: what if i kill everybody.

hello, average tumblr user. your challenge is to name a canonically lesbian female character in the tags of this post. if you name a male character for any reason, you will be shot in the head. good luck.

it sucks that the overwhelming majority of medical messaging around salt/sodium is "evil poisonous substance that you're definitely already eating way too much of," because like. you do still need it. (trust me, as a POTS-haver, I've had to completely rewire my own brain about salt.) and you need more salt when the entire northern hemisphere is hot enough to fry an egg on. ever tried sucking down the recommended 64oz of hydration per day entirely as water, only to find you're peeing constantly without any of the purported benefits of being "hydrated"? assuming you don't have another medical condition that causes frequent urination, your body probably needed more salt/electrolytes to be able to hold onto that water and make use of it. if there was ever a time to keep a sports drink/pedialyte/etc within constant reach, it's when the heat index is 110°F/43°C.

if there’s one thing 90s scifi loves it’s bdsm-coding its villains

[clementine-kesh]

the intention: being a sex freak is a marker of evilness and moral perversion

the effect: millions now want to be abducted and sexually tortured by hot leather-clad aliens

[clementine-kesh]

though to be fair to 90s scifi writers i think a lot of them also wanted to be abducted and sexually tortured by hot leather-clad aliens because scifi writers in general are massive perverts. two things can be true at once etc etc

Xie Lian: sees a youth with very long legs that gives him flashbacks of Hua Cheng's jingling legs

Xie Lian: sees the youth is also wearing all red and is ridiculously knowledgeable on heavenly stuff

Xie Lian: knowing damn well that it is probably Hua Cheng himself,

"So friend, do you know about Hua Cheng?"

"Oh, he is called Xueyu Tanhua, how is that?"

"How does Hua Cheng look like?"

"What is his weakness?"

Xie Lian is so damn funny for pulling this off

He also compares Hua Cheng to a sharp sword unsheathed which is a neat way of calling him hot lol

He even has another separate paragraph describing how "the youth" is so attractive that he was too flustered to face him and turned away but then thinks they are too far away from each other and leans in again, he is so down bad

From Cooldown:

Liam: "You made it sound like with what happened at the theater and Vaelus' choice that things could have gone wonderfully, which they did, or horribly wrong. Does that mean that there is a map of an amphitheater somewhere in this building?" Brennan: "What was about to happen at the amphitheater was going to be so bad that there was not a point in staging a combat there." Liam: "…Oh."

idk man there's just something about the lights of the Candescent Creed visible at the top of Dol-Makjar where Azgra once ruled. there's something about despite its diverse population, Dol-Makjar primarily being the city of the orcish revolution only for a priestly house of the human shaper to swoop in not a century later and set themselves up as a new power divinely appointed. it's why Thaisha unabashedly standing against the Halovar envoy hits so hard, a reminder that for all their machinations, this isn't their city, both literally and figuratively. their charges mean nothing. Halandil Fang cannot have stolen the blades that belong to Thaisha's family because he is her family. their daughter is holding what is rightfully hers. the Halovars may have money and magic and influence, but they will never be what the Lloys are to Dol-Makjar. "welcome to our city." you are guests, here, and the second that hospitality is betrayed, you are intruders.

think I've been mildly cursed by a witch

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

for years now my laptop charger has reliably broken every 6 months. admittedly i keep replacing it with the cheapest possible generics, but I've tried differed brands and ALWAYS, 6 months in Death knocks impatiently at my door, its skeletal hand outstretched demanding yet another goddamn power cable. the only feasible explanation is i pissed off a witch. the alternative is that i'm the problem, which seems unikely

[spectraltower]

the witch is called enshittification

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

excellent so is this like a rumpelstiltskin situation or

[kingsonne-zedecks]

Humor aside. Don't buy another USB-C laptop charger. Buy a USB-C power adapter rated for the same power needs as the laptop, Anker makes high quality ones. Then you can easily replace the cable if it wears out.

The power adapter is the expensive part, the cable is cheap, but the cable is always going to fray first. Plus, you can buy a braided cable, or a right-angle cable which are less likely to break in the same way depending on how you use your laptop, and you can get whatever length of cable is convenient for you.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

holy shit you've circumvented the witch's curse. yeah it's the same cable that gives out on me. replaceable parts that so fucking sexy. I'm assuming I just buy one that's the same wattage (65W) as my laptop needs? damn that witch is gonna be PISSED

[kingsonne-zedecks]

You can buy one stronger than your laptops needs if you want. Devices these days are smart enough at power management to only take what they need, so a 100w charger won't brick your laptop or anything, but 65w will work perfect.

The only other thing is that not all USB-C cables are created equally. The form factor is standardized, the insides are not, some shitty, cheap, cables are only rated for data not power, or for low power needs. You can search for charging cable to make sure you get one intended for power transfer.

This witches curse effected me for years on end before I discovered this. I'm happy to foil their efforts once more.

this is a highly controversial opinion, I have no doubt King Arthur was bisexual but I think he was one of the few people in Camelot not interested in fucking Lancelot. he wanted to retain him as an employee but it did not cross his mind that Lancelot was fucking his wife because Lancelot is such a weird little twerp that he did not perceive him as a sexual being. my interpretation.

[byjove]

So true. The Galehaut/Lancelot relationship was like a dynastic marriage to resolve the conflict between two imperial powers. I like to imagine Galehaut was like “I have decided to abandon my plans of capturing [what is now] all of southern England and surrender to you despite my military advantage, all for the love of my achingly beautiful and spectacular new male wife, Lancelot du Lac.” and Arthur was like “Okay. Weird. Not homophobic or anything but Lancelot? You’re in love with Lancelot?”

[byjove]

Co-signed. That’s some real shit you said. Also, unlike Arthur, he was willing to yield and share his lover for everyone’s benefit. And then he died for love. A real freak. One of the best freaks in 13th century French literature.

I started a mental sentence with, “well, when we diagram the Arthurian polycule-“

And then realised that would be such a good title for a paper. “Diagramming the Arthurian Polycule: Mapping the Dynamics of the Round Kitchen Table”
