small appreciation post for collapsing while still conscious
ok as much as i love a good faint im also a huge sucker for when a character collapses but is still conscious, maybe just dizzy or weak
stumbling or tripping on something and falling to their knees, too weak to stand up again
weak from fever or low blood sugar and failing to get out of a chair, lying on their back or side while the dizziness subsides (i actually had a fic planned for this at one point)
slumping into a chair because they cant stand anymore
reaching out to a table or wall for support and sliding to the floor (!!!)
sitting on the floor already but they slump to the side out of exhaustion
that thing where they throw their arm across their eyes out of exhaustion or dizziness (honestly one of my favorites)
there are probably a lot more im missing rn so feel free to add on!!

Give me Caretaker bridal carrying a weak Whumpee who is desperately trying to stay conscious…Whumpees arms are around Caretakers neck and their head is bobbing up and down against Caretakers chest.
And then suddenly, all at once, Caretaker notices Whumpee somehow feels heavier. Caretaker looks down at Whumpee just as Whumpee’s arms fall limp and their head flops backwards. And Caretaker has to drop to the ground both out of shock and panic as well as to check that their precious cargo is still breathing and to recollect Whumpees deadweight limbs to their chest before they stand back up

That little look a character gives right before they collapse.
Having been slowly getting more and more unfocused, people talking around them but them not noticing. How could they notice when it was taking all their energy just to stay upright?
The world getting more and more hazy. Their breaths becoming rougher and more labored, struggling harder every time they inhale.
Someone calls their name and their head jolts up. They make eye contact for just a moment. Their gaze tells it all.
Sweaty faced, glassy eyed, lips slightly apart in an attempt to please breathe. The lost, helpless look they give betrays every weakness, every struggle going on inside them. Their eyes keen towards whoever they make eye contact with, begging to be saved.
And then they faint.

‘this is going to get worse before it gets better’: panama canal pileup due to drought reaches 154 vessels
the panama canal, a key route for global trade, is facing a crisis. 154 ships are waiting, with an average wait time of 21 days. drought has reduced the water level in the main reservoir to critically low levels, which has resulted in the canal's locks struggling to function.
40% of all u.s. container traffic travels through the panama canal every year. the current situation is a direct result of climate change and overuse of natural resources.
climate change: weather patterns have shifted, and the area is receiving much less rain than it used to. the lake that feeds the canal is refilling at a much slower rate.
overuse: development around the area has increased reliance on groundwater and freshwater sources. shipping traffic has surged, flushing more water down the canal.
each ship requires about 200 million liters to pass through, amounting to 2.8 billion liters per day at just 14 trips.
at peak season, that's 10 billion liters per day, all of it fresh water flushed into the ocean. gone. wasted. unusable.
the low water level creates two main issues: availability and pressure. emergency water conservation measures are in place, restricting the biggest boats movements and slowing down the entire process.
this ultimately leads to inflation. shit is about to become even MORE expensive.
this isn't just a problem for some boats or the shipping business. it's a reminder of how our actions and the changing climate are impacting the world in real and tangible ways. the panama canal is a microcosm of a global issue.
we have failed to recognize the interconnectedness of our world and we are paying the price. it will not improve under capitalism.
