I'm so mad about ai in fanfic I'm about to start posting bad/half baked fic out of spite.
the mass effect fandom right now
When a Mako and a Geth love each other very much .

I love fandom. We went to see Big Boy - a huge steam locomotive built in 1941 - at the Philly Navy yard today and group of four people asked us if we would take their photo. I said yeah sure and they all stood in front of the train and suddenly one of them pulled out and unfolded a life size cardboard cutout of Legolas to pose with?? Like I've never felt such instant "these people are on tumblr" in my entire life lmao
it’s too hot to draw anything so grab half sketch half painting of struggling shepard in a heatwave

Cw my cat is hurting himself, blood mentioned, doing everything I can to help him but I recommend not reading if you are affected by these topics
I adopted the cutest most affectionate blind cat last year. He's called Pippin.
We didn't have any data on whether or not Pippin would get along with another cat, he was found in someone's backyard in Philly. He was found blind, declawed, neutered, and near deaf.
Fast forward to today, the cause of his blindness is likely high blood pressure. His BP is very high and he's taking two medications for that. He also has arthritis pain so he gets meds for that too. He doesn't like my other cat, Gimlet. He pees outside the box constantly and scratches himself around his neck a lot, particularly when it's cold.
We are at the vet every 2-4 weeks for BP tests and his monthly solensia injection. The vet is largely unconcerned with his scratching and it's driving me nuts. I've been working with a behaviorist since last fall and he keeps pushing me to identify underlying health causes - and I agree - but at what point do we acknowledge that the poor guy is stressed the fuck out and stabilize him while we get more testing? And we have been testing - blood work every 3-6 months, multiple urinalysies, X-rays, he's even had an echocardiogram. I've spent thousands on this poor cat since I got him.
!! Stop reading now if you don't want to hear the worst of it !!
Which brings me to today. Last night I came to bed and Pippin was actively bleeding all over my sheets. And to be clear sheets can be replaced but normally your pets don't scratch themselves to the point you need to throw your sheets out?? I had to literally clean the excess blood off his face because he scratched under his chin until blood was smeared all the way up to his ear. He also licked the pads on the back of his knees to the point where I literally watched them drip blood down the back of his legs.
Finally managed to get to sleep and dreamed the vet told me he needed to be euthanized. That he couldn't breathe and he was suffering.
I'm just so exhausted. Feels like the vet isn't listening, every time I talk about his behavioral issues they're like yeah but what about his blood pressure? And yeah, let's get to the bottom of that, but is it possible he's just stressed the fuck out? And worse, is it possible that it's my fault for bringing him into a home with another cat? Can we please give him something to stop him bleeding everywhere while we work on figuring out what is causing all this?
It's been months. Months. I feel so hopeless about the whole thing, feels like no one is listening. My cat is hurting himself and my house smells like pee and every professional that might help me with that is like *shrug* but what if he has a heart condition? Can we please treat my whole cat and not just one part of him at a time??
(╥﹏╥)
And all of this at once.

Commander Katherine Shepard in game.
are you guys hearing about this dude working to developing a vaccine for cats that he's hoping would like. theoretically double their lifespans?
turns out i wasn't making that up, his name is Dr. Toru Miyazaki! he also wrote a book called "The Day Cats Live To Be Thirty", so cats are kind of his thing.
apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.
As they age, almost all cats develop kidney disease, from which they eventually die. Just as in humans, kidney disease i
Dr. Toru Miyazaki’s AIM injection for cat kidney disease enters trials in 2025, aiming for a 2027 release. Greycoat Research supports the sc
whoa wait i actually read the articles and it's so much cooler than just that!!
dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!
although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!
on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.
furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.
annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D
man just think, not only could our kitties start living longer, healthier lives, but just maybe dialysis will become as rare and obsolete as the iron lung is for people. what a badass Dr. Toru is!
