A Big Fan of the Inland Taipan
Also known as the western taipan, the small-scaled snake, the fierce snake, or dandarabilla in local Aboriginal languages, the inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is a snake found in the arid regions of central eastern Australia. Specifically, it keeps to dry floodplains, dunes, and black soil plains where vegetation is sparse.
Throughout most of the day, the western taipan shelters in abandoned burrows or deep cracks in the ground, and only emerges early in the morning to hunt. Like all snakes, this species is a carnivore, and O. microlepidotus specializes in mammals; mainly rodents. Despite its narrow diet, the fierce snake is the most venomous reptile in the world, able to strike multiple times in quick succession. A single bite from this species is capable of killing 100 grown humans; however, unlike its coastal cousin, the inland taipan is notoriously shy and will only attack as a last resort. Because of its venomous reputation, adult inland taipans have no predators, though king brown snakes and perentie monitor lizard are known to prey on young.
The western taipan mates late in the winter and early spring, from August to November. This is the only time indivuals will seek each other out, and males have been known to spar when encountering each other. During mating, the male and female can remain intertwined for several hours, and afterwards part ways to seek out other mates. Females will locate abandoned animal burrows to lay a clutch of 11-20 eggs, but she does not remain to care for them. Eggs hatch about 2 months after being laid, and individuals can live for up to 15 years in the wild.
Though thin, weighing only 1-2 kg (2.2-4.4 lbs) the inland taipan is remarkably long, reaching up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) in length. O. microlepidotus blends in well with its environment, being a dark tan or light greenish brown. This coloration can change depending on the season, becoming lighter or darker according to its surroundings. Along the thicker part of its body, individuals also sport dark scales in diagonal stripes.
Conservation status: The inland taipan is considered Least Concern by the IUCN, and is protected by law in Australia. This species can also be found in zoos and private collections. Primary threats include habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as mortality from cars.

Rollout Ceremony for the third operational orbiter, Discovery (OV-103) at Palmdale, California. On the stage is the Don Beall of Rockwell (at lectern), Dr. Rocco A. Petrone, the president of the company and the crew of her first first flight STS-41-D.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She is named for several different ships:
"The name Discovery was chosen to carry on a tradition based on ships of exploration, primarily HMS Discovery, one of the ships commanded by Captain James Cook during his third and final major voyage from 1776 to 1779, and Henry Hudson's Discovery, which was used in 1610–1611 to explore Hudson Bay and search for a Northwest Passage. Other ships bearing the name have included HMS Discovery of the 1875–1876 British Arctic Expedition to the North Pole, and RRS Discovery, which carried the 1901–1904 Discovery Expedition to Antarctica, led by Captain Scott."
-information from Wikipedia: link
At the beginning of her career, Discovery weighed roughly 3,600 kg (7,900 lb) less than Columbia due to lessons learned during the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. She weighs 6 pounds (2.7 kg) heavier than Atlantis and 363 pounds (165 kg) heavier than Endeavour. Part of this was due to the greater use of quilted AFRSI blankets rather than the white LRSI tiles on the fuselage, and the use of graphite epoxy instead of aluminum for the payload bay doors and some of the wing spars and beams.
Tumblr media
"During her construction, Discovery was fitted with several black tiles near the middle starboard window where there should have been white tiles. It is unknown if this was the result of a harmless manufacturing mishap or done intentionally to give a distinctive look to the shuttle. This feature has been called 'teardrop' and allowed Discovery to be easily identified.
Upon her delivery to the Kennedy Space Center in 1983, Discovery was modified alongside Challenger to accommodate the liquid-fueled Centaur-G booster, which had been planned for use beginning in 1986 but was cancelled in the wake of the Challenger disaster."
She was originally intended to be the dedicated US Air Force shuttle and launch DoD payloads from SLC-6 at Vandenberg AFB but these plans were cancelled in aftermath of the Challenger disaster.

MSR prompts you say? This is a bit weird but, an autopsy record has more than the autopsy on it. Mainly Mulder and Scully being ... well themselves. (Basically Mulder interrupts Scully mid Autopsy and she forgets to turn off the recording.) -disappears into the ether-
thinky!!! i had so much fun writing this, i hope you like it even if you don't really go here and i don't really know what i'm doing. <3 thank you for prompting me and for always being an incredible friend.
click here to read on ao3!
click here to send me another prompt!
warning for: lame ass gag names, brief objectification of a corpse, mulder being a sentimental dweeb (but what else is new), msr being sickeningly in love
-
for posterity
-
He finds it in a dusty box, crammed in beside VHS tapes and manila folders and a million other memories, and he can't help himself.
He presses play.
A static hiss. A crunch. The rush of movement through still, cloistered air.
He hears the recorder clicking into place, suspended over the gurney. He's seen it there before, hanging like a pendulum, poised to hear every word she speaks from every possible angle.
"11:32 p.m., August 1st."
Like so.
"Begin autopsy on unidentified white male, weighing… 198 lbs. in extremis. No immediately visible cause of death."
There's a puff of breath near the recorder, and he can picture her blowing it out between her full lips. Balanced on her tip-toes, leaning out over the body to get her closest approximation of a top down look.
"Subject appears to be between the ages of thirty-five and forty, and healthy. That is, he's in good shape."
He pops a potato chip between his lips with a crunch. She sounds flustered. Interesting.
"Uh, really good shape, actually. Well-developed pectorals, abdominals, and whew, that inguinal ligament—wait," she says, voice slipping out of its even, prim cadence, "what the hell am I saying?"
He snorts.
She sighs, and it's tinny but familiar. "Okay. Get it together, Dana… A visual examination of the epidermis shows multiple tattoos, relatively fresh. The newest, on the upper left thigh, is—" and her words go the tiniest bit muffled as, he assumes, she leans in close to the appendage, "—still slightly scabbed. Certainly less than two weeks old. It's in the shape of a… a reindeer head? A moose? Huh. How… cute."
Charmingly, she says it like being cute is an infectious disease an otherwise appealing corpse has been tragically inflicted with.
"Artifacts left at the scene suggest that the subject had some sort of fixation on body modifications, or perhaps needles in general. However, the extensive tattooed area makes it difficult to determine if injection of some kind played a role in his death, as initial findings suggest. I'll have to look beneath the surface. Beginning with a Y-incision…"
His nose wrinkles, and he's quite certain the next bit will put him off his chips, so he hurriedly presses the fast-forward button, zipping through a few minutes of audio.
It resumes on a splat.
"...heart weighs 520 grams, no signs of aching or breaking," she cracks to herself before clearing her throat. "Appears healthy."
He's always suspected she's like this when he isn't around for autopsies, looking over her shoulder and going green as a Painted Parakeet with car sickness, pitching theories at her like he's playing for the Mets. When she goes in alone, she tends to leave the morgue with a kind of tranquility about her—a counterintuitive freshness that even the stale scent of latex and bitter iron can't hide. Her smiles are a little brighter.
Perhaps, he considers, it is simply the opportunity to reconnect with what makes sense to her: anatomy, the body and the story it tells. Everything connected, with clear delineations of where each piece belongs along the way.
There is so little ambiguity in the arrangement of a person's organs. Mysteries cannot help but stumble forth to reveal themselves.
But it's equally possible Scully just likes her own jokes. Her achy breaky jokes.
"This is interesting," she interrupts him, as she so often does when he's on a roll. She doesn't even have to be physically present to do it. Her undercurrent of genuine excitement pricks at his ear. "There's some cirrhosis of the liver, atypical for someone who bears no outward signs of extreme alcohol usage or any of the other usual physical risk factors. Perhaps the subject was participating in regular steroid use, or—"
On the tape, a door swings open and closes on an exuberant thunk.
"Whoa! I didn't know we were getting a celebrity in." His voice crackles out from the speaker. "Or that Steve Reeves had so much ink."
"Steve Reeves is about seventy, Mulder."
His own startled laugh sounds very, very young and—he winces—tinged with an arrogance that can't be tamed, even by his partner's dry replies.
But past-him is too intrigued for self-consciousness. "You know who Steve Reeves is, Scully?"
"I have two brothers." Her tone has gone cool and inscrutable, the loss of her previous lightness palpable in a way that only a voyeur could sense. But she was always so careful with him, back then. "Do we have an ID yet?"
"No, not yet. Prints are still being processed. But the name given at the motel check-in desk was clearly false."
"Let me guess, 'Steve Reeves'?" Listening hard, he can practically hear her eyebrow twitching upward, the faint lift at one corner of her mouth.
"Try 'Mike Hawk.' Jeez, what's that a tattoo of?" he adds distractedly. "A Rorschach test?"
There's silence for a second on the tape, and he suddenly remembers this exchange. Vividly. "Oh my God," he mumbles, abandoning his chips in favor of rolling over on the couch.
He sets the recorder down cautiously, like it's a holy relic, and stares at it, grinning with his chin propped on crossed forearms.
"I don't get it."
"Don't get what, Scully?"
"Why would that be an alias?"
"Why would the name 'Mike Hawk' be an alias? Mike Hawk?" His words are tinged with an obvious grin. Probably smug, as is his wont. Some things never change. "Mike Hawk."
There's a snapping sound as Scully removes her gloves. He recollects how they caught on her fingertips, causing a bit of a struggle as she spoke. The beginnings of a blush had seeped into her cheeks, the sting of embarrassment her fair skin couldn't help but betray.
"Why do you keep saying it at me? It's a perfectly ordinary-sounding name, Mulder."
"Didn't you just say you had two brothers? Mike Hawk, Scully, come on. Known associate of the dirty devil Mike Hunt?"
"I think Mike Hunt was in my sixth grade class."
On the recording, he can barely speak with the effort not to laugh. But there was another feeling, too, in that moment, one he remembers well: a pulse of intrigue, of fascination, which used to catch him off guard. He never knew how to cope with the reminder that Scully the woman—a shadowy mystery, perpetually out of his reach—existed in cohabitation with Scully his partner, the woman he saw every day.
This was the person who threw wadded up bits of paper at his face when he fell asleep with his mouth open; who wore men's deodorant on the road just so, in a pinch, they could share. Back then, Scully using any word—even unknowingly—to acknowledge her own sexuality felt like sudden, blazing exposure to the Lost Ark. It was a miracle his face hadn't melted clean off.
But it was a line they'd taken so much care not to blur, even then.
Now, he listens as it all begins to deteriorate over a puerile joke.
"Listen, Scully, listen to the sounds. Mike," his past self says, stretching the syllable, "Hawk."
"I am listening! You sound ridiculous! What am I supposed to be hearing?"
"You're supposed to be hearing 'Mike Hawk'!" He chuckles quietly to himself. "I can't believe this. The smartest woman I've ever met doesn't know about Mike Hawk."
"Well, I wouldn't say that," she casually replies. "I did see you in a bathrobe once."
The words are so perfectly clear, and suddenly all the noise—the shoe-shuffling, the rush of water as she washes her hands, even the background hum of the refrigeration units—seems to stop.
An interminable second passes in which he wonders if the recording got cut off. But, no.
That's just how long it took him to put the pieces together.
He closes his eyes, picturing it: the pert angle of her stubborn chin, the smirking tilt to her lips. Sparkling amusement, tinged with an adorable hint of triumph.
His grin grows. Scully really does like her own jokes.
"Scully!" his recorded voice bursts out, suffused with delight and bafflement. There's a thread of horror there, too. And desire, but that's more or less a given.
Her voice is thrillingly deadpan as she pronounces, "Gotcha."
"I don't believe it!"
"Mulder, has anyone ever told you that you're endearingly naïve?"
"You little—you just wanted to hear me say 'my cock' over and over, didn't you?"
She clears her throat, a demure little ahem.
"That would be very unprofessional of me."
In sync, both his past and present self laugh, one compressed and crunched by time, the other ever-so-slightly roughened by the same.
"That's not a denial."
"No," she replies. "It's not."
God, he can barely believe this conversation was recorded for posterity. This, of all moments. The moment when he realized maybe Scully enjoyed their flirting. That maybe, when he pushed, she could be counted on to push back.
Even now, belly down on the couch in the privacy of his own home, his stomach clenches at the memory.
She's always been the better actor, between the two of them. He's convinced she could get away with anything, and she more or less has. But the warm undercurrent of invitation on that recording is unmistakable.
"Scully." Closer to the recorder now, he goes low and flirtatious, even as he cautiously asks, "Are you coming on to me?"
He doesn't hear her answer this time around; instead, his ears catch on the rattle of keys, the click of the lock in the front door. When he glances up from the little black box, there she is in the open doorway, auburn hair catching the light.
She's holding the brown bag of takeout in one arm and her purse and keys in the other, and before he can think, he's pressing the pause button on the recorder, shoving it under a pillow, and going straight to her.
"Mulder, what are—?"
Wrestling the bag out of her hands, he stoops his shoulders and catches her lips in a long, hard kiss.
She doesn't expect the force of it, but she's got the legs of something seaborn, unbending against his tide. She accepts the assault with parted lips, mouth already curving like she's laughing at one of her own jokes.
"You must be really craving that Pad Thai," she whispers.
"Nope." He isn't even embarrassed by his own breathlessness, how hurriedly he dives back in to breathe her air. "Just you." He feels the muscles move as her eyebrow jumps toward her hairline, same as ever, and it's like all the blood drains from his brain.
It's hard to help her shed her coat with one hand holding noodles and the other in her hair and the bulk of her back pressed to the door—but he likes to think he makes it work.
"Hey," she murmurs, freeing herself enough to drop a kiss on his chin, "this have something to do with what you just crammed between our couch cushions? You weren't digging through my old cassettes again, were you?"
His eyes light up at the reminder of that particular discovery. "I didn't even know they made erotic audiobooks, seriously. A whole avenue, Scully, a whole dimension of pornography I was completely ignorant of until you opened my eyes! But," he stops, shaking off his momentary distraction, "no, that's not it."
He pauses for another kiss, lingering again because he can.
"It was an old audio log, an autopsy you did on one of our cases."
"An X-File?"
He and the takeout make it to the couch, Scully only a beat behind, pausing to kick off her little heeled boots. She's been breaking them in, claiming she'll need them if they're going to be chasing lights together again.
"No, it was a case we took on as a favor to someone. I can't remember now… What was his name?" He snaps his fingers. "Ben… something. Ben Dover? Or was it Mike Hunt?"
And Scully—well, she just wouldn't be Scully if she wasn't immediately hip to his bullshit, attuned to it like a sniffer dog to a suspicious scent. Her gaze narrows, and he grins at the way her eyelids flutter in an attempt not to immediately and violently roll her eyes. She's had a lot of practice, but he truly is a hazard to her ocular health.
Her smile, though. She can't help herself. It spills out at the edges, softening the corners of her mouth, even as it carves her laugh lines deeper.
She smiles more now than she ever did back then, and he treasures each one. The twist of her lips always feels like he's pilfering extra helpings from some great cosmic store of joy. It's an untold pleasure to watch the wrinkles form, knowing how hard-earned her smiles used to be.
Now, she's happy. She gives them out for free.
"I remember that case," she sighs, flopping down beside him on the couch, kicking her socked feet up on the coffee table. "God, we were young."
"I was 'endearingly naïve,' if I'm to take your word for it."
"Did I say that?" Her lips quirk in wry amusement. "Doesn't sound like me. I must have been in love."
"Yeah," he agrees, stealing another kiss. "Must have been." She softens against him.
He's about to steal something else—second base, if he's lucky—when there's a muffled sound from under the pillow. The distinct sound of his own voice saying, "Mike Hawk" over and over again. Their disturbance of the couch cushions must have started the tape over.
Scully's snorted giggle parts their lips. Her eyes dance like sapphires under the sun. "Did we ever figure out the victim's name?"
"You don't remember?" He sits back, shaking his head. "Wow, Scully, you really love 'em and leave 'em. I thought you had a thing for the guy."
"The dead guy?"
"Yeah, who else? Don't try to deny it, it's all on the tape."
She just shrugs. "Well, if I did—which I can neither confirm nor deny—it's only because I had a lot of tension back then… for some reason."
The grin he's wearing is probably so goofy, and hell if he cares.
Someone once called him one sorry sonuvabitch, but all Fox Mulder knows is that he's lucky. So ridiculously, obscenely, deliriously lucky, sitting next to the girl of his dreams, his once and future partner—twenty years later, on a couch they bought together, in a house they call home.
Twenty years, and she still flirts back.
"The guy's name was Eric," he finally says, because he can't not. Especially when it's the truth. "Eric Shunn."
Scully's laugh is so loud and uninhibited it rings through the house. And he has the distinct pleasure of letting it go on a while before silencing it with his lips.

The Labor
Debra sighed and groaned from the pain. Her pregnant belly was moving fast to get the baby out of her pussy. She sitting on a chair in dining room all alone to give birth. Her boyfriend Jimmy was working the graveyard shift at the fish factory. She had no one to turn to.
Her panties were still on, but they weren't gonna stay on for all night. The baby that probably weighed 11 lbs was trying to wedge its head through Debra's pussy. A sharp pain hit her and she cried, "Fuck this world!" The world was not the only thing Debra wanted to curse out, she wanted to chew out her boyfriend for forcing her to keep the baby.
She had wanted an abortion, but Jimmy had made threats to kill her family if she had one. "Why did I even agree?" she cried again. The pain was getting to her head and taking over her senses.
Debra's pussy was spreading wide and it she needed to take off her panties soon. "Fucking Jimmy was a mistake!" she cried and gripped the armrests of the chair. "Fucking incel bitch ass!" she cursed her boyfriend again and lowered her head in pain. "What a cracker! Stupid cockhead!" Debra shouted from the pain that she was feeling from her pussy spreading even wider. 
Debra was surprised to feel a rush of warm liquid pouring out of her pussy. "Damn, @#%^&! My waters broke!" Debra made liberal use of the N-Word pass that she had to make her thoughts clear on her water breaking. She shouted, "It begins!" Then she began taking off her black panties of her body. The stage was set for the next act of Debra's pussy.

43. Fatty areas stretch and sag as you get older.
44. Ever seen the arms of a fat person wave hello or goodbye?
45. Eating little to nothing saves you money!
46. The average (middle class) American wastes OVER $8,000 a year on FOOD ALONE...it goes in one end and out the other. That sure is a lot of fat! No wonder so many Americans are obese and overweight!
47. Fat people make their country look bad.
48. Big people sweat more and they smell bad.
49. Fat people die earlier.
50. You'll be the envy of all the other girls.
51. All of the guys will want you.
52. You're less likely to get food poisoning.
53. You won't be exposed to all the chemicals and pesticides they put in food today.
54. You won't get sweaty on hot days.
55. The word fat will only apply to you in a sarcastic way.
56. No one wants to see a fat person dance.
57. Beauty Queen? or Dairy Queen?

01. You will be FAT if you eat today, just put it off one more day. 02. You don’t NEED food. 03. Fat people can’t fit everywhere. 05. You’ll be able to run faster without all that extra weight holding you back. 06. People will remember you as “the beautiful thin one”. 07. If someone has to describe you, they’ll say “oh she weighs like 90, 100 lbs”. 09. Starving is an example of excellent willpower. 10. You will be able to see your beautiful, beautiful bones. 11. Bones are clean and pure. Fat is dirty and hangs on your bones like a parasite. 17. Anyone can have “inner beauty” but few can earn real beauty, inside as well as out. 18. You’ll be able to move as quietly and skillfully as a spider. 19. Only thin people are graceful. 21. Do you want people to say “for gods sake get off me you’re crushing me!!!” or “you are sooo light” ??? 25. I want to walk in the snow and leave no footprints. 26. Starve off the parts you don’t need. They’re ugly and they drag you down. 27. Nothing cant be fixed with hunger and weight loss. 32. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. 33. Is food more important that happiness in life? I think not! 34. Eating is conforming to everyone else’s expectations. 36. Hunger is your friend and it won’t betray you like food.

I really want to stop feeling so weak. I nearly pas out if I stand for longer than 15 minutes. My blood pressure is wacky. And my heart rate is way too high. Other than that I'm swell. My daughter went to grandma's for a few days over the weekend and came back and told me how grandma's angry, alcoholic wife doesn't like the way she speaks and asked if she could not talk when she was in the room. Also she doesn't like the way she sleeps and how she leaves the bed. Grandma is afraid of her wife and may even be getting abused behind closed doors. I wouldn't doubt that. So she basically asked my daughter to not speak and to sleep on top of the sheets and blankets using a throw as a cover.
I would put a kibosh on her going there but she is almost 17, I can't really demand she not see her grandma. At least not without her agreeing and she won't agree to stop going to see her. Oy vey!
I am really loving my PS5 and I am still working my way through Jedi Survivor. It's a long game man. I like long games. I get so bummed when I can get through a game in one or two days. Also the Jedi dude is customizable so I got him rocking a mullet and handlebar moustache.
Man, I really need to eat properly. I ate some fries I made in the air fryer and a piece of cheese and I am queasy and not going to be able to eat again till much later today. I really, really needed to lose weight, I topped and went over 300 lbs, I am 5' 11" and though I have always weighed heavier than I looked (as a slim teen I weighed 180 lbs and in my 20s weighed 200 lbs without ever getting chubby), I weighed way too much. At the hospital and then the doctor's I weighted 283 lbs and 282 lbs. At this rate I'll hit 200 again by March. Stupid Covid.
Joe says hello. He has taken to sitting beside me while I play PS5 and meowing loudly into my face and ear to get me to pay attention to him and pet him. He's a prick because when I do want to pet him he'll push my hand away and say "No, no pet". He's kind of like my ex-wife.
Anyway. This has been an update. If I continue to feel bad my doctor may want to admit me to the hospital and do like experiments on me and transplant my head. Or get me on an IV and do some tests. One or the other.
Can one of you come over and help me do housework? Because I ma exhausted. I entertained the idea of paying a maid service for a one time visit. But I would hate myself if I did that. It feels way too bourgeoisie.

92. Mirjami loves to paint and wants to do it often even if she hates getting paint on herself (she's SUPER delicate and precise when painting honestly)
93. Mirjami HAS snapped before and it's kind of implied that when she snaps things get REALLT ugly because she puts 100% her whole emotions into it (it usually leaves her drained or sobbing afterwards so she tries not to get mad)

95. Because of Mirjami's fear of the ocean she's never been on boats and is actually not a fan of flying either

97. While Mirjami has plans for the future and wants to go back to college she's actually content to put her whole life on hold so her daughter can be happy (she's not a multitasker she'd rather invest herself 100% in one part of her life than bettering the other)

Little Kids, Big Dreams
GoFundMe for Mason Thomas Clemence
Mason Thomas Clemence was born on November 3, 2010, weighing only 3 lbs 13 oz. His older sister was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition right around that time, so Mason’s family and the medical team knew that Mason had the same condition. He was diagnosed with DNA Ligase IV Deficiency right away, which is a rare and serious immunodeficiency. Currently, there are only 30 documented cases of Ligase IV deficiency in the world, and Mason and Lizzy are two of them right here in our community. The only known treatment is a bone marrow transplant. Lizzy’s transplant was successful. She is 13 now and she celebrates her cell day on June 9th every year. Mason is 11 now and has had complications since his Bone Marrow Transplant 10 years ago. He has developed Graft versus Host Disease of the skin, gut, and eyes. This means that some of the donor cells from the bone marrow transplant attack and damage Mason’s healthy cells. This has affected Mason’s skin, scalp, eyes, GI tract, lungs, liver, muscles, and joints. He has a feeding tube so he can get enough nutrition to stay healthy, oxygen to help with breathing, a wheelchair for back and bone pain, glasses for his eye damage, and lots of medication, monitoring, and trips out of state to his Bone Marrow Team for treatment. It also means that Mason is very susceptible to viruses and illnesses. Mason is a Glenwood Titan, but he hasn’t been able to go to school for the past two years due to his compromised health and has continued to learn virtually. Mason needs a private duty nurse (RN or LPN) to help at home and attend school with him, but his family hasn’t been able to find anyone to fill this role. Mason should be joining the friends he made in elementary school as they transition to Glenwood Intermediate School in August, but he continues to face health challenges. Mason just wants to be healthy enough to go to school in person and interact with his friends again. Mason’s condition is so rare that the closest team to treat his condition is at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which means a lot of travel for him and his family. Mason is in the hospital right now with a collapsed trachea and bronchi, and blockages in 2 lobes of his lungs. He is having headaches from CO2 retention. He also has an enlarged liver and his liver lesions are larger, which may explain his abdominal pain.  Mason usually stays at the Ronald McDonald house for his specialist appointments (they usually span 2 days) where there is a game room and snacks. Now, he’s admitted and trying to get better from a hospital bed.  Mason's mom and sister are with him. His dad is at home in Springfield and visits on the weekends. Mason’s parents are trying to maintain work schedules, school schedules, and all the planned and unplanned challenges that come with this disease. Mason’s family has to commute to Ohio, and the impact of these high gas prices is becoming unmanageable. His family needs help with gas expenses and help with covering any expenses not paid by insurance. Please help Mason and his family!

Carve Out Some Time for the Cassowary
Famous for their bright colors and short tempers, cassowaries are a group of flightless birds in the genus Casuarius. There are three species: the Northern Cassowary (C. unappendiculatus) which is found in New Guinea; the Southern Cassowary (C. casuarius), native southern New Guinea and northern Australia; and the Dwarf Cassowary (C. bennetti), endemic to New Guinea and the surrounding islands. All three species prefer tropical forests, though they are known to venture into savannahs, wetlands, and suburban areas in search of food.
Cassowaries are mainly active at dawn and dusk, and spend the time in between in their nests-- large pads of vegetation built on the ground. They opportunistic omnivores; their primary source of food is fruit and fungi, but they will also eat insects, frogs, fish, birds, small mammals, and carrion when available. Much of the fruit they eat is swallowed whole, which makes cassowaries invaluable for spreading seeds throughout their range. Additionally, due to their large size, adult cassowaries have no natural predators, and will aggressively defend their young from predators like snakes, monitor lizards, birds of prey, and wild dogs. When startled this birds can run up to 50 kph (31 mph), or lash out with their powerful legs.
Members of the Casuarius genus are solitary, save for the reproductive season. This season runs from May to September, when fruit is most abundant. Males maintain and defend territories, and call to attract mates. These calls are extremely loud, and at one of the lowest frequencies of any known bird, at about 23 Hertz. When a female approaches, the male crouches and allows the female to inspect him. She may also chase him, typically into water where the two perform a ritualistic fight before she submits. After laying her eggs, the female will move on to another male’s territory.
The eggs are extremely large and bright green, and usually laid in clutches of four. The male alone tends these eggs, incubating them and maintaining the nest for 50-52 days. The chicks that emerge stay with him for an additional 8-9 months until they become independent. Individuals take up to three years to become fully mature, and the average lifespan of wild Casuarius is anywhere from 30 to 50 years.
Southern Cassowaries are the largest of the three species, at up to 1.8 m (5ft 11 in) tall and weighing 58 kg (130 lbs) on average. Females tend to be much larger than males, and the species is considered to be the largest in Asia and the 3rd largest in the world. The Dwarf Cassowary, as the name implies, is significantly smaller at only 1.5m (4ft 11in) tall and 26 kg (57 lbs) at maximum. Northern Cassowaries lie between the two extremes. While all three species have black bodies, the coloration of their heads and necks vary significantly. Both the Northern and Southern Cassowary species have wattles-- pouches of skin that dangle from the neck-- that can be red, gold, purple, or white, which contrasts sharply with their blue necks. The Dwarf Cassowary lacks a wattle, and has a darker blue neck. In addition, it has the smallest head crest, or casque,; the Southern Cassowary’s casque is blade-shaped, and larger than the Dwarf Cassowary’s. The Northern Cassowary’s casque is more flared, and the largest of the three species.
Conservation Status: The Dwarf and Northern Cassowary species are considered Near Threatened and Least Concern respectively by the IUCN, while the Southern Cassowary is classified as endangered. All three are threatened primarily by habitat loss.

@nameslikeguns tagged me!
1. Are you named after anyone? Not at all. I'm not even sure where my mother got my name (which is Marissa btw) because nobody else in the family is named like that and it's not even popular in the West Indies.
2. When was the last time you cried? One of the mutuals -- I cannot recall who right now -- referred to the second Brahms movie as "Brahms: The Boy 2: More Boy" and I told my sister that when she mentioned the movie earlier tonight and we both laughed so hard we got weepy
3. Do you have kids? I do not and I never will!!
4. What sports do you play/have played? Zero.
5. Do you use sarcasm? I used to be sarcastic nonstop. It was the nineties. Then I realized that my brand was particularly nasty because I was subconsciously imitating my mother, and now I'm not like that anymore.
6. What's the first thing you notice about people? Whether they meet my eyes. I engage in freakishly unsettling eye contact. In university the professors would either seek me out in the classroom because I was guaranteed to be staring attentively right at them, or they'd avoid me because idk I might steal their soul. When I worked as a purchaser for a film school I nearly made one supplier cry because I looked directly and unwaveringly at him after asking questions.
7. What's your eye color? Dark brown. (I was wearing grey fashion contacts when I made the supplier cry)
8. Scary movies or happy endings? Boo pretentious answer but whatever serves the narrative and the characters and the emotional arc.
9. Any talents? A few. I'm a decent singer and writer.
10. Where were you born? Eastern Canada.
11. What are your hobbies? Video games, writing, obsessing over foodways, watching tons of movies/tv, art blogging (I'm not an artist myself but I love it)
12. Do you have any pets? One black cat who's very grim and small (she weighs 8 lbs) named Meera.
13. How tall are you? Five foot two. If this fandom was Grey's Anatomy, I'd be Dr. Bailey.
14. Favorite subject in school? In high school, English Lit and Drama. In post-secondary it was Women's & Gender Studies and Poli Sci with a focus on critical race theory.
15. Dream job? I did (volunteer) copy editing/reviewing for an online women-run zine for comics & pop culture and that was pretty enjoyable. I'd like to do that as a paid job.
I went out for Japanese BBQ tonight and I'm sated and sleepy so I will tag everyone who sees this and hasn't done it yet! <3

Prism Achroma, was born safely on:
April 15th 2023, 11:47 am
She weighs exactly 6.5 lbs, 19 inches tall.
She's just born and has her eyes closed so I'll tell the eye color later~ she has really fluffy brown hair.
Colress helped with the delivery. I want to thank the wonderful staff at Black City Pokémon Center and Hospital and the Nurse Joy and Audino that stood by and helped me
Welcome to the world Prism.. me and Colress love you very much.
💖 🤍 💛 💙💎
She was supposed to be born on the 18th? I was legitimately freaking out about it but Colress gently informed me that it's very common for babbers to be born even as early as a few weeks?

Wellness Wednesday:
Looking to Finish Strong
I, for the most part, completed my main objectives and goals for the year - but by some strange test of fate I could slip up.
So...
For the next 4ish weeks (26 Days - 4 more posts) my plan is to be easy going, but mindful of diet and exercise routine. With widely surpassing my objectives I could tank/skip my workouts or diet and still come out on top of my goals, but I would like to end on the highest note possible - I would like my last weight to be the lowest I've ever weighed AND I would like to be able to say 100% confidence that I went a whole year without a chip, slice of pizza, or an ice cream cone - let alone a single order of take out.
As well - I would be excited to see my final stats on my exercises. To my current knowledge I think I have only missed 3 or 4 workouts - that's 3 or 4 days out of the last 340 days. I'd like to keep that stat below 5 for the remainder of the year if I could... again... for gloating purposes (don't worry... I have no friends so this sentiment probably won't leave the sanctuary of this post - gloating averted).
.

Current Goals:

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
I decided to simply my workout - and I am still seeing the same/positive results with the simpler workout. That extra stuff I did in November was unnecessary.
The Bad:
It's that time of year where the air is dry and my sinuses and unobstructed breathing is collateral damage.
The Ugly:
My sleep schedule has been trash since my Thanksgiving Break/Vacation. Feel like a walking zombie. There times where I have passed out in the middle of the day.

Worth more than Julez [e.k] - 1
*ed, sēlf hārm, violence, vulgarity, & sēxual content.* *dom!erik, sub!oc*
*first chapter has slow build so that the rest of the series make sense*
____
Please don’t say 127.
Please don’t say 127.
Please don’t say 127.
In order to travel to Barcelona, models needed to be less than 127 pounds. The only exception to this rule were expecting models, men, or women taller than 5”11.
Julez had been so busy with covershoots that she forgot to weigh herself most of the week. 127 is a scare tactic. It’s used to intimidate young models so that they would stay in shape. In the agency’s history, they have never dropped a model due to weight, allegedly.
This wasn’t stated in a contract nor did the CEOs ever address the legend, but hearsay has kept this legend fueling for decades and Julez wasn’t going to be the one to be made an example.
Not when she gave up artificial sweeteners.
Now when she gave up high fructose corn syrup.
Not when she gave up takeout.
Not when she gave up gluten.
Saturated fat.
Carbohydrates.
Processed foods.
Not when she gave up everything to finally be represented by a major agency.
Beep…. beep.
Taking a deep breath, Julez closed her eyes before looking at her feet. The soft beeps indicated that it was time to step off of the scale. This number held all the power for her career for the next year. Barcelona fashion week was a rite of passage.
The models that made an impression in Barcelona were usually the ones that would enter their era of supermodel stardom by the following year. Julez wanted that.
She had already been in a couple music videos, commercials, store advertisements, but the runway is where she felt alive. That’s where she could walk away from Devin, stand up to Hades, and let go of every grain of stress that pulled her down.
That’s where she was free.
124.0 LBS
She hadn’t known that she was crying until she felt a cool breeze on her bare feet from the fresh flow of tears pooling into the corners of her eyes. She felt relief.
In actuality, it was silly. No one ever told her that she was required to be of a certain weight and her agent was the most painfully honest person that she’d ever met. It was silly to give into unnecessary pressure, but she couldn’t let it go. It was almost as if she found herself obsessed with trying not to get to the number. She had gone so far as to lie on her drivers license out of fear, it was outrageous.
She took a seat next to the scale to attempt to control the tears pooling in her eyes and took out her cellphone. When she opened instagram she was immediately greeted with those circular chartereuse colored icons. She could only think of one reason why so many of her mutuals posted today.
“Barcelona weight check! 🫠”
“I’m 6’2 but am somehow supposed to be 127??”
“Guess who isn’t gonna be in Spain 💀”
It all became too much. She closed the app and went to shower, she somehow felt guilty knowing that she would only have the spotlight because the other models were “overweight.”
Upon exiting the shower Julez dressed for her nighttime yoga and the sounds of the yoga instructor rang through the hollow apartment.
-
The next few days were very routine. Julez had posed for another department store advertisement, met with magazine editors, and stuck to her workout routine.
Julez always had a particular way of doing things, even as a child. Every once and a while she could hear grandmother say, “Lord, that one is going to be the one Lord. That one is going to be the one.” She used to ponder on what that meant for years but she hadn’t really gotten far.
She was private. It worked very well for her modeling image, it left the idea of mystery. That was something that her agent was grateful for.
“@JulezPHenderson is he talking about you??”
Julez fed her curiosity and opened the youtube link attached to the tweet.
“Hey guys, happy sunday. I’ll keep it short and hope you guys like the cover…”
Her ex boyfriend, Devin, is an aspiring musician and producer and had a nice following. Some of his following pointed out the coincidental times that he and Julez were spotted in the same locations, but it rarely got any press, thankfully.
She knew that she shouldn’t but she couldn’t help but read the ongoing comments on the livestream as she waited for the cover to start.
“I guess he did date Julez after all, he’s been mad inactive since she unfollowed him 🫢”
“Y’all see the cut on his hand??? I wonder if she went Tyra Banks crazy”
Julez was baffled. Their relationship was very lowkey from the start; two and a half years ago. She had been starting to take her modeling career seriously and he was working with growing artists. They never confirmed their relationship, which worked in Julez’ favored when they finally broke up.
However, here was Devin three months later covering Ice Box by Omarion to imply that Julez was indeed the problem. He even went far enough to title the livestream, “#TheSwitchUp”
Right before Barcelona.
Later that evening Julez found herself in the private gym of her luxury apartment running on the treadmill. She was running away from the calories, the comments, the pressure, and most of all Devin.
She was running away from the hairstylist that couldn’t work with natural hair. She was running from her uncles that called her too skinny. She was running from her aunts that told her to watch her food intake. She was running from from societal pressures. She was so distracted running from everything that overwhelmed her that she didn’t feel her foot twist and elevate from the machine. She didn’t know that she was on the ground until she felt the hard waxed floor on her back.
“Yo ma, you good?”
Julez heard the voice but she couldn’t see a face to match it. Everything was blurry and that’s when she realized that she forgot to eat for the third time this week. She barely had the energy to move.
She felt her shoulders being lifted from the ground, but she really couldn’t fight the temporary state of paralysis that her body was in.
Security didn’t hesitate to make their way over to Julez. They communicated over walkies to double check the cameras since she was found all alone, but didn’t find nothing unusual. She just tripped.
With much light being shined into her eyes, she was finally able to open her eyes. She was being surrounded by two security guards and a gentleman in gold rimmed frames.
“You took quite a fall Ms. Henderson. Would you like for us to help you upstairs?”
As the shorter security guard spoke, Julez was only fixated on the fine gentleman in the clear glasses. She thought back to the voice she had heard earlier, it had to belong to him. The fitted white t-shirt had her interested from the minute that she opened her eyes.
“I could help you if you want.”
