Does the Legends ZA game have a historic setting confirmed? We didn’t see any tech (cars and planes and scutch) in the trailer, but half of it is that weird TRON sim anyway. An old city like Lumios could look like that in the modern day. And pencil schematics are def not diagnostic. Like don’t get me wrong, I am really pullin for another throwback, L:A was right up my alley. The ‘Legends’ title implies ‘historic’ as of now, but we only have the one game to go off of…
Didn’t realize how much I needed a Turn of the Century-Roaring 20s pokemon tho fuckin help now I Want. BRING THE WORLD’S FAIR VIBES. THE PANACHE. THE JE NE SAIS QUOI, IF YOU WILL.
Maybe that computer mock-up was there bc the protag gets laser isekai’d, TRON style but to the past lmao

Lamborghini Countach 2022  Review And Worth
After a year of intensive improvement work, the primary Countach prototype, designated LP500, was shown to the general public on the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Subsequently, the Lamborghini engineering staff spent three years refining this radical prototype into the production-ready LP400 Countach, which debuted in 1974. The production is just limited to 112 items, the quantity denotes the ‘LP 112’ internal project name used in the course of the unique Lamborghini Countach’s development.
First showing on Gandini's 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo concept automotive, they connected to the automobile structure on the entrance of the door utilizing horizontal hinges, in order that they lifted up and tilted forward when opened. The mechanism was assisted by gasoline struts, which supported the weight of the doorways and smoothed the opening and shutting motion. Gandini incorporated this door design as both a styling gesture and to facilitate entry. The automotive's extensive chassis and excessive and extensive doorsills made entry utilizing standard doorways tough in slender areas. Conversely, care wanted to be taken in opening the scissor doorways beneath low ceilings. Due to poor rearward visibility and the wide sills, many Countach drivers park by opening the door, sitting on the sill, and reversing into the parking spot while wanting over the back of the automobile from exterior.
Another innovation was the inclusion of an on-board diagnostic system that displayed the status of the car's individual subsystems superimposed on a schematic view of the complete car, positioned on the dashboard to the motive force's left. Due to the poor rearward visibility inherent within the Countach design, a periscope was built-in into the passenger compartment roof, as a substitute of a standard rear-view mirror. This periscope system was obtained from Donnelly Mirrors, who had first developed it for an ESV project. Gandini also used a single-spoke steering wheel and deeply recessed bucket seats, which shared a stylised motif of segmented blocks. The low seating position, distinguished transmission tunnel and broad door sills all contributed to the sensation of being inside a race automobile cockpit. The final define is pure and uncluttered, with references to the first LP 500 and LP 400 production model.
The reborn Countach, now with throwback seems, normal hybrid tech, and a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12. Of course, that's just the bottom worth, we count on the ultimate 2022 lamborghini countach determine will significantly fluctuate from customer to customer because of Lamborghini's extensive record of features and bespoke options.
This just isn't a sort of vehicles that have been manufactured to compete with any other supercar. Lamborghini resurrects the Countach name and likeness for the 2022 model yr. While it's 2022 lamborghini countach a homologation of the brand's other hypercars, it is a surprisingly faithful recreation of the original. It'll even be bought in very limited quantities, much like the wildly styled Sian.
Besides the carbon-fiber monocoque, it also makes use of the identical mild-hybrid V12 powerhouse with a barely decreased mixed output of 803 hp (599 kW / 814 PS) transmitted to all four wheels – therefore the 800 and the four in its name. Despite the fact that my private Countach is a later 5000QV model, with fender flares and an enormous wing, in my view, Lamborghini's greatest work has at all times come within the form of clean-sheet supercars. Each was a completely new product, not based on any previous architecture. This variant is typically known as the 5000 S in some markets, which can trigger confusion with the later 5000 QV. His design for the Countach's predecessor, the Miura, achieved industrial success and critical acclaim from the automotive press when it was launched in March 1966.
The Lamborghini Countach 2022, in easy words, is the interpretation of excellence from front to back. The general form, though it's model new, Countach one means or the other still mimics the unique Countach. The carbon-ceramic brakes are so powerful that they will slow the automobile from sixty two miles per hour of velocity to 0 in nearly ninety eight toes. If you keep the dry weight of the automobile in mind, which is 3,516 kilos, this efficiency could be very spectacular. The curb to curb turning radius of Lamborghini Countach 2022 is underneath simply 38-feet, due to its 4-wheel steering system. The Lamborghini Countach engine is electrically assisted, and it includes a 6.5 liter V12.
The Lamborghini Countach LPI develops the characteristic strains of the Countach’s five fashions over almost 20 years, concentrated into the purest realization of iconic automotive design. Beneath the Countach's retro chassis, manufactured from light-weight carbon fiber, is a modern powertrain. Lamborghini’s Product Safety Committee voted on November 10 to launch a proactive recall for the Countach in each world market, together with the nine examples sold within the United States. Lamborghini will attain 2022 lamborghini countach out to house owners beginning on January 13 and will ask them to return their vehicles to the vendor for inspection. The progressive hybrid system, comprising a supercapacitor and a 34 CV electric motor, weighs just 34 kg and delivers a power-to-weight ratio of simply 1kg/CV for the electrical system. This provides a combined power of 814 CV and permits speeds of greater than 350 km/h .
The Lamborghini Countach top speed is 220 mph, and it comes with energetic pushrod magnetorheological rear and entrance suspension together with horizontal springs and dampers. In order to give you the old contact, it additionally flaunts hydraulic energy steering. The 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI is the recreation of the long-lasting design of the unique Countach for the trendy audience. It’s a nostalgia bomb that additionally offers modern options and a powerful engine. Lamborghini introduced a km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 2.eight seconds, km/h (0-125 mph) in eight.6 seconds and a high pace of 355 km/h. This makes the Countach LPI equally fast with each theSián FKP 37and the non-hybrid Aventador LP780-4 Ultimae, though the mild-hybrid technology might deliver an advantage to in-gear acceleration.

Alright, so today’s the three-year anniversary of Reputation a.k.a the greatest album of all time, my baby, the light of my life, the album that deserved a Grammy (trying desperately not to think about the scene from Miss Americana😭), the album that introduced us to the most beautiful couple ever, the album that shut Kimye up, and I better stop now, or else I’m not gonna shut up.
So in honour of this momentous occasion (and the fact that I reached 200+ followers! Thank you so much you guys!🥺 Love you all 3000💙), here’s a loooooong post on why Reputation is the Ethan and MC album.
1. ...Ready For It?
No one has to know
Throwback to MC saying the exact same words back in Miami.
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby, mmm
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Remember back when MC asked for Ethan to get into bed right away during their first time? Ethan told them that he had dreamt about the moment for months, so he wasn’t going to rush it.
2. End Game
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh you and me would be a big conversation
These two dating would be the talk of the hospital, and they know it.
Even when we'd argue, we don't do it for long
And you understand the good and bad, end up in the song
For all your beautiful traits, and the way you do it with ease
For all my flaws, paranoia, and insecurities
Think these lines are pretty self-explanatory😌
I hit you like bang
We tried to forget it, but we just couldn't
*gets war flashbacks of the ‘reset’ phase*😭 They tried to make it work, but we all know how Ch 8 of book 2 went😌
I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me
Perfect for our chaotic MC😌
3. Don’t Blame Me
Do I... really have to explain this one?
For you, I would cross the line
I would waste my time
I would lose my mind
They say she's gone too far this time
Do we need a recap of our rule-breaking MC?
And baby, for you, I would fall from grace
Just to touch your face
If you walk away
I'd beg you on my knees to stay
He was willing to risk his (mostly) rule-abiding reputation for being with MC. And there’s no way he wouldn’t beg for MC not to leave him if he ever screwed up🤷‍♀️
4. Delicate
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Ethan stood by MC’s side throughout the Ethics hearing, when her reputation was completely smeared, and people only saw her as a patient murderer. He didn’t know about the sabotages, but he would’ve definitely supported her if he had known.
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
Commitment-phobia🙃
Sometimes I wonder when you sleep
Are you ever dreaming of me?
Sometimes when I look into your eyes
I pretend you're mine, all the damn time
They spent so much of time apart, not able to be with each other, so the least they could do was dream of being with each other all the time.
5. So It Goes (an underrated af bop)
What can I say... it’s a sex song, okay? Don’t make me go into the details😂 Just listen to the lyrics, and all will be clear.
6. Gorgeous (Tumblr won’t let me put any more links)
MC’s eternal anthem to Ethan.
Whisky on ice, Sunset and Vine
You've ruined my life, by not being mine
We all know Ethan loves Whiskey, and the second line? C’mon!
You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face
'Cause look at your face
And I'm so furious
At you for making me feel this way
But, what can I say?
You're gorgeous
Ethan Ramsey is famous for two reasons. One: his smart brain, I guess😒 Two: HIS LOOKS!!! HE’S GORGEOUS, AND DON’T DENY IT.
And you should think about the consequence
Of you touching my hand in the darkened room (dark room, dark room)
Ah, the olden days of hand holding in the diagnostics office🥺
Ocean blue eyes looking in mine
I feel like I might sink and drown and die
No explanation required.
You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
The wonderful will-they-won’t-they saga. The frustrating hot-and-cold behaviour. The ‘We can’t’, ‘It’s unethical’ and ‘It’s complicated’. MC deserves an award for her patience😓
7. King Of My Heart
I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own
I made up on my mind, I'm better off bein' alone
Ethan ‘I don’t believe in soulmates and nobody’s waiting at home’ Ramsey.
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are all I want, I'll never let you go
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
This could be from both Ethan and MC’s perspectives. The love they share isn’t something that you get easily. It’s something that MC has waited for her whole life, and something Ethan never knew he needed, but now can’t live without🥺
Late in the night, the city's asleep
Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep
Change my priorities
The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury
This was definitely Ethan throughout book 2, after he finally gave in. He let go of his previous rules and regulations, especially during the time of the attack. He was clearly affected, and once MC was alright, his main priority was her, and her alone.
Is the end of all the endings?
My broken bones are mending
With all these nights we're spending
Ethan’s been burnt a lot in the past. But all those wounds are now healing thanks to MC.
Up on the roof with a school girl crush
Drinking beer out of plastic cups
They act like lovesick teenagers around each other, like, that’s literally their description if you choose to kiss Ethan for the first time in Chapter 14 of book 2!😅
Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff
Baby, all at once, this is enough
We all know about his initial fear of his mother reaching out to him for the sake of his money. To him, MC not talking advantage of him is a pretty big deal, even though it’s never mentioned. You just know, you know?🥺
8. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
My, my love had been frozen
Deep blue, but you painted me golden
Again, Ethan doesn’t have the best experience with love. But MC changed that.
I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted
This could go both ways, cause they’re both piping hot messes😬 (but love each other anyway🥺)
The rest of this song could have made so much more sense for them if we had gotten some sort of a secret relationship storyline. But oh well, I’m definitely not complaining about the gala😌 (and definitely not believing any of the supposed cancelled storylines)
9. Dress
Our secret moments
In a crowded room
They got no idea
About me and you
I mean... pretty obvious😌
Even in my worst times, you could see the best of me
And I woke up just in time
Now I wake up by your side
My one and only, my lifeline
This is practically Ethan’s train of thought, and you can’t convince me otherwise.
As for the rest of the steamier lyrics... I’ll um... let you guys listen to it yourselves😁
10. Call It What You Want
I wrote an entire fic inspired by this song, so excuse me for the shameless self-promo, but go give it a read?🥺👉👈(totally fine if you don’t! I’ve probably made so many posts about this song that y’all know the meaning anyway😅)
11. New Years Day
Don't read the last page
But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you're turning away
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day
MC has always stayed by Ethan’s side, even when he’s pushed her away. These lines perfectly explain how she wants his worst times, and his best, the midnights they spend staying up together, and the moments where it’s just the two of them, when everyone else has left, like the aftermath of a New Years party (still mad at the fact that we didn’t get to see the gang celebrate New Year together😭)
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town babe
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home
The above explanation for these lines as well.
Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Becoming strangers to each other would be their worst nightmares. Knowing that the other was out there in the world somewhere, but not being in their lives would kill them.
You and me forevermore
These two are each other’s soulmate, they know it, even if they haven’t said it yet. Forever wouldn’t be enough for them to shower each other with they love they hold for each other. But it’s a good start.
——————————
If you guys made it this far, then I honestly love you more than words can ever express🥺💙 Thanks for putting up with my Swiftie-Directioner-Ethan stan ass, cause I dunno if I’d ever be able to handle someone like myself. And if you read all the above stuff, then I hope you wanna know why this album means so much to me.
Reputation is perceived as a dark album, when in reality it’s truly about finding love amongst all the noise. This album, and Taylor and Joe’s story, taught me what true love actually is, and Ethan and MC cemented that. This album and these two couples (quite literally) saved my life.
The most beautiful part about both these relationships is that even though they never showed it openly, for the sake of their relationships, both Ethan(in the story) and Joe stood by the side of the one’s they loved, despite half of the people who they knew hating on them, or betraying them. And I think that’s what’s truly important. Forming a true relationship like that, be it platonic or romantic, is long lasting, and I hope everyone finds those kind of people to fill their hearts with. Sending much love, and sorry for being a huge sap😅💙

🏷️. 𝐈𝐝𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥: 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦 - 3
Before this day end, I want to have a quick throwback to our 3rd Debut Diagnostic exam on Idol School where we performed 여자친구-선배님 "ROUGH". We are the team 4 which composed of Eunsuh언니, Yoojung언니, Gyuri언니, Nayeon언니 and me. What's great in performing this is we get to meet 여자친구-선배님 and were able to learn the choreography through them. Until now, I was still amazed at how great the choreography of the song and how nice they are while they were teaching us to improve the dance. We also had fun during the performance although I got the lowest score on the team that motivates me to work harder for me to debut. It was a great time performing and I was sure that y'all were amazed at Nayeon언니's high notes because we all are amazed by it too!
Check out our performance here!

2019 Fic in Review
Inspired by @myevilmouse I’m going to sum up all the writing I’ve been up to the past year. I’m really proud of what I’ve accomplished, and thanks to you all for the encouragement to put my ideas out into the world! This has been a year of trying new things, and really growing as an author I feel… And wow according to AO3 I’ve written about 400k words in the past 12 months, damn. So let’s get to the list, going from the beginning of the year to the end, and as always please heed the tags on these before reading.
Note: As I go back, I’m realizing a lot of the links were messed up or are just straight missing. I am on the Mobile App so things can get messy. Please visit my works page on AO3 HERE to see all of these on my page under JessKo and my other pseuds.
1 Late Night at the Slab
Idea: Filling a prompt for the Thryce server in which some, uh, unique Chiss anatomy was assigned.
Result: A 3-way with Thrawn, Arihnda, and Eli and my first foray into the more Xeno side of things in a Modern AU setting. Yeehaw!
2 The Trouble With Free-Roaming Ysalamiri
Idea: Based on some adorable ysalamiri cuddles art by @strength-through-order I wanted to write some Thranto fluff.
Result: Ysalamiri-filled Thranto fluff X’D
3 Inquisitor’s Debt
Idea: What if the Grand Inquisitor changed sides at the end of Rebels season 1?
Result: Some fun throwbacks with Obi-Wan and Caleb Dume leading up to Quizzy defecting with Ezra.
4 Ancient Stems
Idea: Eli Week drabbles based on the Vanto Week prompts.
Result: A silly buzz droid narrative with Thrawn and some cute slice of life Eli backstory/Ascendancy days bits.
5 Charnsuka
Idea: Kinky stuff with Lord Garmadon when he’s an Anacondrai.
Result: Kinky stuff with Lord Garmadon when he’s an Anacondrai. Sorry Zane!
6 Caged Like Prized Birds
Idea: Again inspired by the awesome Chiss anatomy and Thrux drawings by @strength-through-order , I wanted to craft a narrative around Armitage, as a young man, stumbling upon a clone of Thrawn.
Result: Man, this might just be one of my favorite things I’ve ever written, had so much fun plotting it out and the smut is mmm! Tentacles everywhere~ I’ve gone back to re-read this a lot, I’ll admit it. I hope you all enjoyed it too.
7 Quiet On Set
Idea: Must. Write. Talos.
Result: A cute little platonic x-reader with everyone’s favorite Skrull. This was my first MCU fic too.
8 Diagnostic
Idea: Wanted to apologize to Zane for the damages done in Charnsuka with some Glacier shipping fluff.
Result: A silly glacier thing leading to a bit of foolery. I’m happy with it!
9 Heron Soaring
Idea: A continuation of the plot line from Heron Rising with Kanan and Thrawn.
Result: Too many feels… but some great sex to soften the blow, Kanera too!
10 Patron
Idea: Responding to a tumblr prompt from @wukeskywalker regarding Thrawn commissioning LOADS of artworks of Eli.
Result: More Thranto fluff! I see a trend here…
11 Black Heron
Idea: Kanan x Pryce for @myevilmouse , I think this was our first ‘collaboration’ on something!
Result: Juahir hires a special someone to show Arihnda a good time!
12 Red Heron
Idea: @star-wars-rebels-4 is always an amazing wealth of ideas for Grand Inquisitor, and encouraged a work featuring him and Kanan.
Result: Delicious back alley smut when an undercover Jedi is caught!
13 Warm Homecoming
Idea: Give my and a friend's OCs some cute fluff.
Result: OC fluff and a vacation to Hoth!
14 sowing the seeds
Idea: Add something cute to the spank war project.
Result: Another contender for my ‘favorite thing I’ve ever written’ rank. Two chapters of pining, cooking lessons, and sweet slick smut.
15 Red Frost
Idea: After watching “The Evil of Frankenstein” with @sneakybunyip ‘s amazing movie night group, I wanted to do something fun with Victor and Hans.
Result: A fun little adventure fic with some huddling for warmth to boot. Victor and Hans are the hammer-horror-verse Thranto send tweet.
16 a setting sun to hide the ruins
Idea: What if I tortured Kanan to the point he turned evil and joined the Inquisitors (and went a little insane in the process)
Result: Instead of torture, let’s just use some serum that drives him mad. Perfect. Smut ahoy, pretty much a dead dove type fic.
17 Pinktown
Idea: When browsing abandoned towns in Florida, I came across Flamingo… what if Thrawn had been exiled here instead.
Result: An alternate history of Thrawn’s exile and eventual discovery by the Empire. Huge thanks for @badgerandk on this one for the perfect epilogue and beta.
18 the sun rises to only illuminate the stranger i have become
Idea: Setting sun… part 2! But it’s actually what happens before sun?
Result: How Kanan ended up where he is for ‘a setting sun’... lots of imp smut and again, it's sort of a dead dove style fic.
19 Frozen Over
Idea: Ar’alani x Eli Vanto
Result: Somehow me and my writing partner ended up at sensory deprivation focus on this one.
20 Shape of Honor
Idea: Well, this one started in 2018 but ‘finished’ in 2019. Still working on the epilogue. Lots of tweaks… If you are not familiar, this is my AU in which it explores how the Thrawn novel and Rebels show would be altered if Palpatine distrusted Thrawn from their first meeting and accused him of being a Chiss spy. Vaguely inspired by the film The Shape of Water.
Result: Well it's nearly a novel now, isn’t it. This was a great adventure in learning how to create compelling story arcs. I’m extremely satisfied with how it is shaping (lol) up.
21 Datura Stamonium
Idea: Thrawnbine ovi smut.
Result: Oops it has plot now, a whole backstory with Eli and such and so fourth. Will need further stories told…
22 Desert Entropy
Idea: Luke/Wedge modern AU shenanigans.

23 The Great Eli and Thrawn Prank War
Idea: See Chapter 1: Mullet Thrawn
Result: This thing really grew up, and thanks to all the contributors for allowing me to join in! My contributions were: 7-Bombs Away! In which a bit of drama brews and Thrawn makes a paint bomb that forces him and Eli back into being roomates. 11-Tooka Troube 2: Electric Boogaloo in which Eli finds his quarters slowly filling up with Tooka plush toys, and then something huge goes off in supply. 17-The Bitch is Back In which who knew Thrawn could sing?!
24 Clipped Wings to Keep Us from Flying
Idea: Continuing the story line from Caged Like Prized Birds
Result: Dragging Eli and the OG Thrawn into this, seeing that their stories were left untold in the first work. Also Armitage and the clone are up to all sorts of cool things. Still a WIP, on the list to keep working on this year!

Idea: Some Ronan/Krennic feels post Treason
Result: A Ronan character study that I really needed to get out of my system and finally a stable alliance between Krennic and Thrawn!
26 Purple Heron
Idea: @punk--kenobi and I concocted some fun Kanan/Zeb/Hera smut featuring Lasat heat cycles.
Result: Ah this came out so cool, full of emotion and wonderful imagery. Massive kudos to @punk--kenobi for beta-ing my portion and contributing some of the best smut one can find!
27 Ninjago Angst Week 2019
Idea: Do some 1-shots for Ninjago Angst Week

34 Pulse
Idea: Werewolf AU Lavashipping
Result: Oops Kai is a werewolf! Good thing Cole is here to help him figure out how to press on.
35 Stories from Area 51
Idea: remember the raid Area 51 meme? I do! Gotta clap them alien cheeks!

Star Wars Rebels fanfic - Warmth
Happy May the 4th to @herasyndlla!
Thank you to @pomrania for the beta
“Um… Hera?”
Hera finished the line of text she was reading before she looked up from her datapad to find Ezra hovering in the doorway, part-way between the lounge and the hall beyond.  His arms were folded, his hands both tucked in underneath as though he was trying to keep them warm.  Which, now she thought about it, he probably was; it had gotten a little chilly in the room as she had sat there reading.
“What is it?” she asked.  She reached for the cup of caf steaming on the table in front of her, gripped it in both hands, allowing the heat of it to flow into her fingers, and took a sip, savoring the warmth as it traveled down to her stomach.
“I was just wondering if you knew what was going on with the temperature,” he said.
It wasn’t just that room that was cold, then.  Hera frowned, puzzled.  The last scheduled systems diagnostic had been run on time, just under a week ago, and nothing unusual had shown up.  Anyway, the heating was a part of the ship’s life support system, and any breakdown of something as important as that should have triggered an alert, whether they were testing it or not.
She shivered slightly, took another sip of her drink, and began a quick mental run-through of anything that could have caused the problem.  She started with the most obvious; crew error.  “This is probably a stupid question,” she said, but it had to be asked, “but you’ve tried turning the heating up, right?”
He stepped a little further into the room, allowing the door to close behind him.  “Yeah,” he said.  “We’ve all tried it; by the time I got there, the readout already said it should be pretty much tropical in here.  Every time we turn it up, it seems to get colder.”
Hera nodded.  She had suspected as much.  Most likely the heating system — and hopefully only the heating system and not all of life support — had gone offline.  It had probably happened some time ago, and the air temperature had been gradually dropping ever since.  That meant there was another fault too, causing the system to report as normal.  Great.
Like any ship designed for space travel, the Ghost was well insulated against the extreme cold of space beyond the bulkheads.  Insulation would only do so much, though; with the heating systems offline, the temperature would eventually begin to drop, and it would continue to do so until the problem was fixed, or until they entered the atmosphere of a planet and opened a door.
“This is probably another stupid question,” she began, “but…”
“Yeah,” Ezra interrupted before she could finish.  “I’ve tried turning it down as well in case we’ve passed into opposite-land.  Not surprisingly, that also made it colder.”
“Opposite-land?”  Hera raised an eyebrow.  Sometimes she forgot how young Ezra still was.  “Actually I was going to ask if you’d run a diagnostic on life support.”
Ezra pushed his hair out of his eyes and grinned a little sheepishly.  “Oh, yeah, that makes more sense.  Yeah, we did that too.  The ship thinks everything’s fine.”
Hera sighed.  The last thing she wanted to do right now was dismantle the air conditioning, but it looked like she was going to have to.  She downed the last of her caf and set the cup on the table.  Oh well, at least the physical activity would keep her warm.
Chopper was conspicuously absent.  It was probably nothing to worry about, but Kanan still got a little nervous when the droid disappeared for long periods of time.  It was a throwback, he supposed, to the days when Kanan first joined the crew of the Ghost.  For a long time before that, it had just been Hera and Chopper, and he had gotten the distinct impression that Chopper didn’t trust him, and didn’t want him there.  He still wasn’t sure exactly what he had done to eventually won Chopper over, or whether the droid had just gotten used to him, but for a long time, he had been wary about turning his back on the droid.  Apparently, that had never really gone away.
Of course, it was possible Chopper was just helping Hera, which, now that he thought about it, he should probably be doing too.  The rest of the crew had congregated in the lounge waiting for news, and although it really did only take one person to run the diagnostics and complete any necessary repairs, there had to be something he could do to help.
He glanced around the room.  Ezra had acquired a blanket from somewhere and wore it wrapped it tightly around himself; he was sitting sideways on the bench that surrounded the holotable, leaning his side against the backrest.  Zeb stood not far away, glowering at him with arms folded.
Sabine sat at the other side of the table to Ezra, a cup of hot caf clutched between both hands for warmth.  Kanan’s own drink sat cooling a short distance away.
“How cold does it get in space?” Ezra asked.  “I mean, most of the stars are suns, right?  So…”
Sabine gave him a look.  “It gets pretty cold,” she said.
“Right.”  He tightened his blanket a little.  “That’s what I thought.”
Every eye turned when the door opened and Hera walked through.  She glanced around the room.  “So this is where you’re all hiding,” she said.
“Did you fix it?” Ezra asked.
Hera didn’t reply at first.  She made her way wearily across the room and sank into a chair before she shook her head.  She was tired, Kanan could tell that at a glance.
“The sensor that monitors the onboard temperature was malfunctioning.  I managed to fix that, but all that means is the temperature readout’s going to be accurate again.
Kanan picked up the cup of caf he had made for himself and offered it to her.  “I made you this a while ago,” he said.  “It might not be too warm any more, but it should still be drinkable.”
She accepted it gratefully, took a long, appreciative sip and smiled her thanks.  “I can fix it,” she added, “just, not now.”
“Are you sure fixing the sensor won’t have just sorted the problem out?” Sabine asked.  “Maybe the heat wasn’t coming on because the ship already thought it was warm?  Maybe now it can read it again…” she stopped when Hera began shaking her head.  “Yeah, I guess you thought of that.”
Hera nodded.  “It was my first thought,” she said.  “That’s why I took the time to repair it.  It wasn’t until I’d done that and went to look at the rest of the system that I noticed some of the components are worn out.”
The sensor should probably have reported on that long before it became a problem, Kanan thought.  But it could have been out of action for a lot longer than the heating, reporting back a false ‘okay’ every time they checked.
“I might be able to fix it tonight,” Hera added, “but it would only be a temporary patch.  The best thing to do is set a course for the nearest world with a reliable vendor and get replacement parts in the morning.”
There was a pause as everyone looked around, gauging reactions.  Zeb was the first to speak.  “Great, and the kid’s already helped himself to all the blankets.  Isn’t Chopper supposed to be in charge of making sure things work around here?” He glanced around, “Where is Chopper, anyway?”
Kanan frowned.  Maybe the droid hadn’t been helping Hera after all; he hadn’t come back with her, anyway.
“We’re all in charge of making sure things are in working order,” Hera said, on the defensive immediately.
“And I’ve got one blanket, not all of them,” Ezra added.  He raised his arms a little, waving the blanket around as though to demonstrate.  “I’m pretty sure there’s more.  Anyway, you can hardly complain about the temperature.  You’ve got fur.”
Zeb glared at him.  “We only had one blanket, so you did take them all.  And since it was my room first, it’s my blanket.  And I don’t have that much fur, I still feel the cold.  Anyway, it wasn’t the temperature I was complaining about, it was you.”
The last thing they needed was for an argument to break out now.  Kanan moved to place himself in-between the two of them like a barrier.  “Why don’t you…” he began
“Hey!” Ezra interrupted, still focussed on Zeb and completely ignoring or not noticing Kanan’s attempt to stop him.  He leaned exaggeratedly to his left to look around Kanan and glare right back at Zeb.  “Don’t blame me because you were too slow.”
“You cheated,” Zeb countered.  “I wasn’t too slow!” He looked at Kanan now. “He used the Force to grab the blanket before I could get it,” he explained.
“But I could only do that because you weren’t fast enough,” Ezra insisted.
The two of them both glanced quickly around the room, looking for backup, two sets of eyes bypassed both Kanan and Hera, and settled on Sabine, who had until now been minding her own business drinking her caf.
“You agree with me, right?” they both said almost simultaneously.
Sabine’s eyes widened almost imperceptibly, and she looked from one to the other, then shrugged and took a sip from her drink.  “Oh, I am not getting involved in that,” she said.
Good.  The last thing they needed was for the whole crew to get involved in an argument.  The last time it had happened, it had gone on for days, dragging everybody in on one side or another before it had finally petered out.  Kanan hadn’t been surprised to find out a couple of weeks later that the whole thing had been engineered by Chopper.
Chopper, who still wasn’t around…
Zeb folded his arms defensively and turned as though he was addressing the whole room.  “It was cheating, anyone would move slower than usual in this cold, Ezra included.”
Great, so they were still on this.
Ezra shook his head.  “Yeah… this isn’t really cold.  Try sleeping outside on Lothal in the middle of the winter.  Better yet, try running from the Empire in it, you’d soon learn how to move quickly.”
“Lothal?”  Zeb’s eyes widened in mock confusion and then realization.  Oh, you mean that planet where the temperature never drops below freezing?  Maybe talk to me about the cold after you try camping out on an ice moon with an Imperial Agent for company.”
Hera sighed pointedly.  She fixed both Ezra and Zeb in turn with a glare.  “That’s enough, both of you.”  Kanan turned to look at her in surprise.  Somehow, her voice was even colder than the air in the room.  “Yes, it’s cold.  No, it’s not below freezing, and it’s not going to be, the ship is better insulated than that.  We’ll be fine overnight until I can get it fixed, but if anybody wants to do the temporary repairs themselves, I left the tools by the entrance to the access tube.”
Silence filled the room for a moment before Ezra broke it.  He grinned.  “Yeah, get on with it, Zeb.  In the meantime I’ll get to have a nice quiet start to the night without you snoring in the bunk below me.”
Zeb held out his hands defensively.  “I can’t fit in there,” he said.  “You all know that.  Best person to do it is the kid.”
“The best person to do the repairs is me,” Hera said firmly.  “And I will, when I have the right parts.  If anybody does want to spend a couple of hours tonight doing a temporary patch for me to undo in the morning, feel free.  It’ll keep you warm at least.”
Kanan could think of better ways to keep warm.  One in particular, but if that failed… he raised an eyebrow in Hera’s direction, hoping to convey his thoughts by body language alone.  Two people, one tiny bunk.  A blanket, shared body heat.  They could keep each other warm until the morning.
Hera either didn’t pick up on it, or chose to ignore.  “I’m going to set a course back to Lothal,” she said.  “And then I’m going to bed.  I suggest you all do the same.  And there are more blankets in the emergency supplies closet; nobody’s going to freeze, Zeb.”
“Wait, Lothal?” Zeb said.  “That’s seven hours in hyperspace.  There’s got to be someplace closer than that.”
Hera nodded.  “There is, but there’s a vendor I trust on Lothal,” she explained.  “The last thing we want is to buy faulty parts, or something from a stolen ship that might have someone looking for it.”  
She had a point.  
Kanan watched her get to her feet, leaving the now-empty mug of caf behind on the table, and head out the door.
“There’d better be another blanket there,” Zeb said in a low tone the moment the door had closed.
Kanan sighed deeply to himself, thankful he didn’t have to spend any longer with the two of them tonight.
Hera didn’t miss Zeb’s attempt to resume the argument the moment he thought she was out of earshot.  She ignored it. She didn’t have the energy to deal with it now.  Anyway, Ezra probably really had taken the only blanket, and if so, Zeb was entitled to be annoyed.  If the argument continued into the morning when the heating was fixed, she would step in to avoid it becoming a repeat of the last big argument, but the chances were, it was just frayed tempers tonight.
Behind her, she heard the door open.  She turned, expecting Kanan.  Instead, Zeb and Ezra both attempted to run through the door at the same time.  They got stuck for a moment before Ezra managed to wriggle free and took off at a sprint, closely followed by Zeb.  Sabine walked out next.  She watched Ezra and Zeb for a moment, shook her head dismissively, then headed back to her quarters.
Kanan did appear eventually.  He jogged a couple of steps to catch up with her.  “You might want to rethink the whole ‘plot a course first’ plan,” he said.  “Unless you don’t mind the cold, you’ll probably want to get a blanket now, before they all end up in Ezra and Zeb’s quarters.”
He was probably right.  She couldn’t remember exactly how many spare blankets she had left there, but there weren’t many, and most of them were the thin foil survival blanket kind, designed to keep in the heat but with minimal thought for comfort.  “It’s fine, I have a few spares in my quarters,” she told him.
Kanan nodded.  “Right,” he said.  He walked beside her for a few strides in silence, then, “You know, I didn’t have that much forethought.”
Hera smiled to herself.  He was angling for an invite.  In fact, he was probably counting on an invite.  She decided to let him squirm a little.
“So, it’ll be pretty chilly in my quarters tonight,” he said.
“It will,” Hera agreed.  “The temperature’s only going to drop from now.  You should probably go and grab a blanket before they’re all gone.”
Kanan didn’t look worried; she wasn’t fooling him.  That was okay, she hadn’t really expected to.  
“It’ll already be too late,” Kanan said ruefully.  “I’ll be okay though.  Don’t worry about me.”
She sighed and shook her head, still not losing the smile.  “You know,” she said, “it is a pretty big blanket; there’s probably enough room for two.”
Kanan raised an eyebrow.  “Is there?”
They had stopped walking now, she noticed.  Standing in the doorway to the cockpit, facing each other, each waiting for the other to say something.  Apparently, he was going to make her ask him.
“Well,” Kanan said, and shrugged.  “I hope you enjoy it.”
He turned to walk away.  She waited a second, until he took a step, and then another.  Then, “Kanan?”
He turned back to look at her again.
“I don’t suppose you want to share?”
He grinned, and he almost looked relieved, like he had genuinely thought for a moment that she was going to leave him to freeze.  Well, it would have been his own fault if she had.
“I thought you’d never ask,” he said.  He paused.  “Not your quarters though.”
Hera considered it, then shrugged.  “That’s fine, two in a bed is easier in your quarters anyway.”
“Maybe not there either.  I have an idea.”
She frowned, eyes narrowing.  “Okay…” she said, “What are you thinking?”
Kanan smiled to himself as he watched Hera’s reaction.  He could actually see her muscles relax as the door to the Phantom closed behind her and the working heating system immediately began to warm the air to a comfortable level.  “Good, right?” he said with a grin.
Hera nodded.  “Pretty good,” she agreed, then hesitated.  "Why didn’t I think of this?”
“Too busy trying to fix everything as usual,” Kanan told her.  He took the blanket from her hands and spread it on the floor.  “That should make things a little more comfortable,” he said.  “But honestly, I’m surprised you didn’t think of it too.  It was my first thought when you said the heating couldn’t be fixed.”
“It can be fixed,” Hera corrected.  “It just can’t be done tonight.  No, it could be done tonight, but it just didn’t seem worth spending three hours working, just to do it all again tomorrow.”
Kanan nodded.  “That’s what I meant,” he assured her.  Hera got defensive about her ship, in the same way she got defensive about Chopper.  Which reminded him.  “Where’s Chopper, anyway?  You don’t think there’s any chance he’s responsible for…”
“No,” Hera said quickly.  “Like I said to Zeb, it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure the ship’s running properly.  Or if you’re wondering whether it’s sabotage, no.  For one thing, wear and tear like that would be too difficult to fake, and for another, Chopper knows I’d take him apart if he even thought about doing something like that.
Kanan walked across the blanket on the floor and sat in the co-pilot’s seat.  “You know,” he said.  “We still have that bottle of Toniray wine I won playing Sabacc a year or so back.  It’s supposed to be pretty great, I’ve been saving it for a special occasion.”
“And you think the heating going off is a special occasion?” Hera asked.  She smiled, placed a hand on a hip and tilted her head to one side to look at him.  “What exactly are you hoping is going to happen tonight?”
“Nothing!” Kanan assured her.  He realized a second after that it sounded like a lie.  It wasn’t, but it had sounded like one.  “Okay, not nothing,” he admitted, “I was just thinking it’d be nice to spend some time alone.  You know, talk over a glass of wine — I didn’t refrigerate it, but I don’t think we need to worry about it being warm — relax, wait out the journey.  Maybe curl up on the floor together, fall asleep in each other’s arms…”  He smiled.  “Of course, if you want me to be thinking about other things, that could be arranged.”
Hera shook her head in a faux-disapproving way, then frowned. “I wonder if… no, it would take too long.”
“What?”
��The components in the Ghost and the Phantom are compatible,” she explained.  “I was thinking I could have taken parts from here and installed them in the Ghost, then put the replacement parts in the Phantom tomorrow.”
Kanan thought about it.  “Sounds like it’d work,” he said.
“It would, but it’d take too long, we’d be almost there by they time I’d finished, and then I’d still have to start fitting new parts.”  She sat down in the pilot’s seat next to him.  “It seems a little unfair that we’re warm in here while everyone else freezes out there, though.”
She was right, of course, it was horribly unfair.  But there was nothing wrong with being selfish once in a while.  Well, as long as the others didn’t find out.  “It’s not going to get that cold out there,” he said.  “And they do have blankets.”  He paused, and smiled.  “Well, Ezra does, at least.”
Hera shook her head.  “We should tell them,” she said.
Kanan sighed.  She was right, of course.  He pulled out his comms device.  “Do me a favor,” he said.  “When you’re falling asleep to the sound of Zeb and Ezra arguing, remember this was your idea.”
Hera grimaced, but didn’t try to stop him.  Disappointing, but not unexpected.  He raised the communicator to his mouth, but stopped when the door opened, and Ezra stepped inside.
The cold air rushed in after him, filling the Phantom almost instantly.  The blanket was still wrapped around his shoulders looked like some kind of improvised cape, and the surprise on his face told Kanan that he hadn’t expected to find anybody else here.
“Uh… hey,” he said.  He stepped into the cabin and the door closed behind him.  The heating system began to work to reheat the area, and Ezra looked down at the blanket on the floor.  “So, I guess I was right about this place being warm.  I wasn’t sure the heating would be switched on when it’s docked on the Ghost.”
This was really not the evening he had planned.  Kanan looked around the Phantom.  Hera was still seated in the pilot’s seat, hands resting behind her head as she stared at the blank view screen.  In the hold, Ezra had made himself comfortable on the blanket that Kanan had spread out earlier.  His own blanket still hung loosely over his shoulders, almost as though he had forgotten it was there.  At the other side of the floor, Sabine was unrolling a sleeping bag, while Zeb perched uncomfortably on two of the seats at the edge of the shuttle.  Chopper moved around them, weaving his way up and down the area as though he was pacing, occasionally ‘accidentally’ bumping into Ezra’s arm, or Zeb’s foot.
Kanan sighed and glanced sideways at Hera, and she gave him a small, sympathetic grimace.  He shrugged in response.  Honestly, he should have predicted this.  Not only did nothing ever work out for him, but Ezra had years of experience in finding a warm place to sleep on a cold night; Zeb and Sabine too, on a lesser scale.  Plus, none of them were stupid.  He had thought he was so clever thinking of taking shelter in the Phantom.  As it was, he could at least still say he thought of it first.
The only crew member whose presence there didn’t make sense was Chopper, who, as far as Kanan was aware, didn’t feel the cold.  But his being there could be explained easily enough.  Whether he had followed someone there, or worked out for himself where they were, he was there to annoy them, and clearly taking great pleasure from it.
“Hey!” Ezra yelled as the droid ran into him for at least the third time.
Kanan closed his eyes briefly and offered up a plea to the Force that the night would at least pass quickly.
Zeb sighed.  “I can’t believe you were all going to leave me to shiver in my quarters while you sat here in the warm,” he complained.
“Sabine was going to go and get you,” Ezra assured him.  He grinned, and shrugged his shoulders.  The disputed blanket fell to the floor behind him, unnoticed by Ezra.  “I told her not to bother,” he added.  “You know, since you took six blankets I figured you’d be warm enough.”
“I’m bigger than you, if you haven’t noticed,” Zeb said.  “One of those tiny things doesn’t cover me.”
“I was going to tell you anyway,” Sabine argued.  She glared at Ezra, who shrugged.  “But before I could, you showed up anyway.  Why took you so long, by the way?”
“Yeah, what took you so long?” Ezra echoed.  “I found this place ages ago.”
“Ages?  How long exactly?” Sabine asked.  She looked at him suspiciously.
Ezra swallowed.  “Well… not ages ages.  Not that long at all, really.  And when I thought of it, if it was warm here, I was going to tell you all, but then Kanan and Hera were here already, and…” He turned to look at them.  “Hey, you guys were here first, how come you never told us we could get warm in here?”
Hera looked at him too, not expecting an answer the way the other three were, but as though she was interested in the excuse he was going to come up with.  He resisted the urge to put his head in his hands, barely.  “We were about to tell you,” he said.  “What?  You think the two of us were going to camp out in here while you all slept out there in the cold?”
“Yeah,” Zeb said.  “Actually, that’s exactly what we’re thinking.”
Kanan sighed.  He didn’t really have a defense, other than he would have decided to call them eventually, even without Hera’s insistence.  Probably.
“We were about to tell you,” Hera said.  “In fact, we were about to tell you and then leave you here to keep warm.”
Confused glances echoed around the Phantom.  One of them belonged to Kanan.
“Unless you’ve changed your mind, that is?” Hera said, turning to face him with an expression on her face that told him to play along.  She turned back to the others.  “We had an idea that means we might be able to repair the heating tonight.  But in case it doesn’t work, you might as well stay here and keep warm.”
Kanan didn't get it.  The only possible repair plan Hera had mentioned was taking parts from the Phantom, and she had dismissed the idea.  If she had changed her mind, the heating would go out on the Phantom too, meaning that the moment the door opened, anyone inside would be just as cold as outside.
“Coming?” Hera asked.  She got to her feet and began to pick her way around Ezra, Sabine and Chopper.  Kanan watched her for a moment, confused.  Surely she wasn’t really going to go out there into the cold and start doing repairs now?  And surely she didn’t expect him to do the same thing?  
Apparently she did.
With a deep sigh, he got up and followed her across the Phantom, bracing himself for the blast of cold air when the door opened.
Outside of the Phantom, it was cold.  That shouldn’t have been a shock, but Kanan still found himself surprised by it.  The temperature seemed to have dropped a couple of degrees over the past hour or so, and he found himself wrapping his arms around his body against the chill, muscles tensing against the cold even as he tried to force them to relax.
He looked at Hera.  Her pose mirrored his own; arms folded tightly, hands rubbing up and down her arms.
Kanan waited for the door of the Phantom to close behind them before he spoke.  “You know, it’s pretty cold out here.”
“I noticed,” Hera told him.  “Like you said, it’s not that bad though.”
Kanan stamped his feet a couple of times; it didn’t really help.  She was right, it was comparable to a chilly day on Lothal, a few extra layers and it would be fine.  It wouldn’t be too cold to work on… whatever Hera was thinking.  “So, what’s the plan?” he asked.  “I thought it’d be a waste of time to do any repairs tonight.”
Hera smiled and shook her head.  “It would,” she said.
“So…?”
“So I’m not going to do any repairs,” she said.  “I just needed a reason to get us out of there.”
“Out of the one warm place on the ship?” Kanan asked.  “Well, you did it, I guess.  Well done.”
Hera sighed exasperatedly.  “Did you want to spend the night camping out in close quarters with everyone?”
“Um…” Kanan said.  He didn’t particularly, but if the alternative was freezing in his bunk, he might take the Phantom.  “No?” he tried.
“Good,” Hera said.  “Because it’s a little colder than I’d prefer out here, but it’s been a while since we had the ship to ourselves, and you know, it’s amazing what a couple of insulated blankets and some shared body heat will do.”
That… was not what he had been expecting her to say.
“Kanan?” Hera asked.
He blinked.  “Yeah?”
“I said, it’s up to you.  We can go back in if you prefer.”
Kanan took her hand in his and turned toward crew quarters.  “You know,” he said, “now we’re out here again, it really doesn’t feel that cold after all.”
It did.  But she was right, it should be possible to warm things up very quickly, if they put their minds to it.
“So,” Hera said.  “Where did you say you were keeping that Toniray wine?”

Relationships 43
It is normal and natural—not codependent—to seek the comfort of those we love when we are hurting and to feel anxious when we are separated or abandoned, regardless of the cause. Whether from addiction, mental illness, or chronic stress, fear changes our behavior in a way that is intended to protect and preserve our attachment to those we love.When a person or family is dealing with an ongoing problem of any kind, anxiety increases and they begin to live in a survival mode. Over time, they develop patterns that are an attempt to decrease anxiety and increase attachment, but that may be ineffective and make the situation worse. Human beings are pack animals. We have been since the beginning of our evolution. We thrive by being in a community, we actually can’t survive unless we are in one! It was the key to our survival as a species, without strong relationships with others, we would have died out long ago.  The same is true today. We need relationships (and strong, intimate ones at that) in order to grow and thrive and even to survive. Even though we don’t need to pack in order to hunt food anymore, we need others to help us navigate the often treacherous waters of life. Given that we are inherently “codependent” on each other in order to survive, we have to ask why some providers in the substance use treatment world think of it as a disease?!?  Why have they taken the most powerful tool that can influence change, the power of strong and intimate relationships, and villainized them so much? The suggestions here are clear. People who abuse substances are a doomed class of people who need to be left alone and any attempts by caring significant others to help them are fool’s errands. The desire to help is a sign of a mental illness akin to substance use, the disease of codependency. Embedded in this story is the belief that  there is some benefit to the significant other in keeping the substance user using. It blames those who try to maintain connection to someone who is struggling with causing or worsening their struggles. How did we even get to this point? How did we take a concept that is not a clinical diagnosis (codependency is not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the DSM, which is the diagnostic “bible” for all mental health issues) and make it, as the guest said, the largest addiction in the world? Author Maia Szalavitz, who wrote about the history of codependency in her article about why it is an outdated and harmful concept, points out that it was an idea that gained steam in the 1980’s and simply hasn’t gone away. It plays right into the concept that substance users are different from the rest of us, and that any connection we keep to them is clearly a sign that we are part of the problem. It’s a throwback to the old days where substance use disorders are a moral failing.
Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity Codependency is characterized by a person belonging to a dysfunctional, one-sided relationship where one person relies on the other for meeting nearly all of their emotional and self-esteem needs. Nobody agrees on a definition. Literally any problem in a relationship can be blamed on codependency. I don't even think it's a thing unless you're promoting drug abuse. It is also known as “relationship addiction” because people with codependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive. Literally this is all opinion, no real science backdrop, just validation to bad feels around breakups and the myriad stupid reasons for doing it, lumped together with nightmare stories Codependency? It's called social bonding.
The truth is that what had been labeled in the past as codependency is actually human beings doing what comes naturally—loving.

Me @ Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2020
Tumblr media
Dolce & Gabbana invited me to Milan for their Fall 2020 show during fashion week, which took place on Sunday (February 23).
As someone who doesn’t fit that “influencer” profile, and doesn’t get invited on press trips, I was extremely honoured to be invited.
On Saturday I spent time with the team prior to my fitting, where I was told about the efforts the brand is making on several fronts:
Celebrity dressing. Which you have already seen huge impact during awards season. And there are some major ones to come, but my lips are sealed. Let’s just say you won’t be disappointed. Business of Fashion have a very detailed article on how Dolce & Gabbana have turned things around when it comes to celebrity dressing.
Social responsibility. Dolce & Gabbana are supporting the fight against coronavirus which has hit Italy very hard. The brand are providing funding to a study by Professor Alberto Mantovani, scientific director of the Istituto Clinico Humanitas and emeritus professor of pathology at Humanitas University in Milan, which aims to form the basis for developing diagnostic tools, such as biomarkers of the severity of the pathology, and therapeutic tools to help battle the strain of coronavirus.
The next generation. Dolce & Gabbana employ a huge number of seamstresses. As the generation of seamstresses are getting older, they have employed a number of seamstresses to work alongside the older generation to ensure this art form doesn’t die. The one thing that people forget about when it comes to “cancel culture,” is that there are many people often likely to lose their jobs if that brand were to be cancelled.
Going back to basics: I sense that brand has hit the reset button, and is working to remind people of why they fell in love with the brand in the first instance. This was very apparent upon seeing the collection which was a nostalgia throwback to early ‘90s.
There were many pieces that I did love, the embellished dresses of course, but one of my favourite looks – look 40 – which was a simple white shirt with a corset, and polka dot tie which I can see on Blake Lively or Janelle Monáe .
There was a lot I could see from this collection on Janelle Monáe, as the colour palette was perfectly suited.
Going back to my fitting. It was held at the Dolce & Gabbana flagship store.
The store has three floors. The ground floor was mostly all black, lace and polka dots. The second looked like a garden with florals everywhere.
But the second I hit the third floor I saw a beautiful jungle print gown which was paired with a green sequin bra.
Tumblr media
That was the one. I knew it instantly.
I continued to look around, but the allure of this dress drew me back. I’m usually very decisive. But this decision was quick, even by my standards.
The team gave me the option of a few accessories.
Usually I wouldn’t class myself as a headband wearing kinda girl, but as I was in the world of D&G I decided to throw caution to the wind, for which I’m glad, as I loved the end result.
Tumblr media
And here is it. No creases, lol, and the dress just the right length to show off the gorgeous shoes.
Tumblr media
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2020
Tumblr media
Just hanging out with the other models. LOL. British model David Gandy, who is the current face of Dolce & Gabbana Eyewear, was happy to stop for a quick picture.
Tumblr media
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were also kind enough to take a picture with me, and I was able to thank them in person for flying me out for the show.
Tumblr media
I couldn’t end my trip without some pasta. It would’ve been rude not to.
Thanks so Lucio, and the whole Dolce & Gabbana team who made me feel so special, and well looked after in Milan.

The Past, Present and Future of PET/MRI Scanners in Teleradiology Services
Telemedicine is the amalgamation of numerous technologies to transfer of clinical information. Empowered by the internet, telemedicine has expanded its reach almost across every medical specialty such as radiology and is termed “teleradiology.” Radiology solutions encompass the techniques used by medical professionals to capture images of the human body to aid in the process of diagnosis or treatment such as X-rays, MRIs and ultrasounds.
Preliminary Days of PET and MRI Scanners: Since its development, MRI has proven to be a versatile technique with its prominent use in diagnostic and biochemical procedures. Its preliminary interpretation services involved magnetic resonance imaging to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body, but the major throwback of the technique was the time and also that patients with claustrophobia may find the treatment suffocating.    
Tumblr media
On the other hand, PET scan involves radioactive tracers, essentially glucose with the radioactive component attached, which makes it very easy for body to eliminate the tracer and hence long interval detections are quite difficult to perform with the technique. These limitations were something that has put down the path for future PET/MRI scanners. 
Present: Remote radiology has proved to improve patient care by allowing radiologists to provide their expertise without being present with the patient. With the advancement in the diagnostic techniques, the all-inclusive radiology services becomes less time-consuming, imaging the most complex cases, cost-effective and most importantly available to almost every section of the society. One such technique is PET/MRI.
PET/MRI, a two-in-one test that combines metabolic and molecular information of PET with anatomic details of MRI systems to enhance the image quality for cancer in areas of the neck, brain and pelvis. Presently, the leading clinical fields of PET-MRI are oncology, cardiology and neurology to produce some of the most detailed pictures inside your body. Though the technique has seen many modifications in the past years, research studies are still in the process to understand the new PET-MRI diagnostic method. 
Future of PET/MRI scanners: Now, how PET/MRI imaging will evolve, will entirely depend on future requirements but patient-wise, there’s a major assessment of a reduced radiation impact, especially for children. However, CT imaging is also evolving and this could lead to the continuing use of PET/CT.
Like every new technology, PET/CT also struggled with its adoption at the beginning, which could happen with PET/MRI devices but the upcoming ones could give PET/MRI an advantage over PET/CT systems in the future. 
The continuum of diagnostic care has evolved technologies which may support one technique by eliminating others or could standardize PET/MRI in the diagnosis world, are the possible questions that only the future could reveal.
