they put RFK jr in charge of the agency that most directly affects everything i’ve been doing in my real life career for a decade so if I start posting like i’ve clamped car batteries to my nipples it’s because i have done exactly that

I knew eventually I’d have to make this post but the events of this week have pretty much been the last straw. The CDC is no longer publishing scientifically accurate information about vaccines.
Please do not get health information from the CDC for the foreseeable future. If you are an American, depending on your state, the state health department may have more accurate information. States in the Governor’s Public Health Alliance are relatively trustworthy.
I’ve personally been using Dr. Kaetlyn Jetelina’s newsletter as a less-grim way to keep up with US public health news. It’s on substack unfortunately, but the information is solid.
Yale School of Public Health’s POPHIVE is also a good way to track population health trends in the US.
I know this is not at the top of the administration’s crimes. But it is one of them, and it is going to hurt a lot of people. Not much I can say but that I’m heartbroken.
How I think a Nova works
Say, you wish for a simple sandwich right?
Well… what kind of sandwich? What condiments, ingredients? Does it have to be edible?
What’s the definition of a sandwich? Is a HOTDOG, a Sandwich?
No matter how many descriptors you add, language is an inherently imprecise way to describe the mind and a subset of possibilities, yet the power to pull from an infinite amount of options is reality breaking on its own.
To prevent Novas from overheating or spontaneously combusting, Novas were “programed” to pick one possibility randomly of the narrowed out options.
However this predicament is entirely avoided if you’re a psychic, of course, but they left long ago along with the magic ancients.
some headcannons/notes
- I think because of the immense power and the need to comprehend a near infinite amount of possibilities in a bracket, they just forcefully became sentient, and thus difficult to work with.
- although they stopped the nova’s from melting or combusting from a regular natural being, psychics and other magical creatures/things are still needed to get a precise answer.
- i imagine it being a profession to ask someone’s wish before the magic and technological ancients split off.
- these guidelines have been lost to time, ensuing world ending disasters for Kirby games.
- Novas being sentient, the simply interpret your wish into what they want to happen when only spoken in a language, probably just to fuck with people.
“BACK WHEN TIME DIDN’T MATTER” — AN OIL PAINTING BY RIONA
Making 10 moves for every 1 move your opponent makes is actually a genuine chess strategy. It’s called “cheating”
So in that regard, yeah, business is like chess.
They said “ceasefire” so the world would stop paying attention. But Gaza is still being bombed. Nothing has changed.
The way we stopped hearing or seeing media about Palestine, and there are new types of bombs being dropped in a ceasefire
My friend Zeina from Gaza is an example of this painful silence. She has endured two years of continuous suffering, and today she and her family have no home to shelter them, nor a school where she can continue her education. They remain displaced in tents, waiting for reconstruction that has yet to begin, facing the cold of winter with bodies exhausted by fear and hunger.
