#supervisors be like

[deanpinterester]

i cannot stress this enough: if your reasoning for clowning on the mcu is "they overwork their cg artists and animators" i 1000% guarantee that a show or movie you have been stanning for years also abused their artists and you just haven't heard about it because the production companies aren't in the spotlight like mcu productions are. that cartoon for kids? that incredibly animated movie? that non-marvel superhero movie? i've seen people declare their hatred for the way the mcu treats their workers and then turn around and gush about a show that i know for a fact was hell for the artists attached

and no this is NOT me saying "this means you should stop hating on the mcu uwu" it's me saying you gotta be aware that this shit is an INDUSTRY WIDE PROBLEM. you CANNOT "fix" it by refusing to watch mcu movies and feeling good about it. you have to be aware that it's EVERYWHERE. why do you think so many animation and vfx productions are sourced in canada? in india and the phillipines? we are not unionized.

i know it's hard to face the idea that your favourite show might have been made unethically especially when you've spent so much time hating the mcu for doing the same thing. you don't have to start hating your favourite show. just like...be aware. don't be smarmy about it. don't claim without research that a beautifully animated movie Must mean the animators were not working 16 hour days and weekends. i do think we can fix this 👍 but we can't fix it if 90% of us don't even realize what the problem really is

#uhhhh me #with the recession coming up a lot of my coworkers have come out of the woodworks to talk abt their experiences #and i feel like i've been wearing rose tinted glasses abt my company (bc i work here and i like my supervisors!) #i knew ofc that aniamtion studios here aren't always on the up and up but i did Not know how bad it got #and it just! sucks! that whenever ppl online talk abt shitty treatment of artists they're only talking in regards to the mcu

POTS Medication Vocabulary

after about the third time a doctor prescribed a medication that made my POTS drastically worse, and about three doctors visits past giving up on being an easy patient, i started asking my doctors the following questions whenever they prescribed a new long term medication:

is this medication a hypotensive? (will this medication lower my blood pressure?)

does this medication have a risk of tachycardia? (can this medication raise my heart rate?)

is this medication a diuretic? (will this medication dehydrate me?)

can this medication cause hyponatremia? (will this medication cause my body to lose salt?)

your doctor likely doesn’t know all of this off the top of their head for every medication, but they should know the most common adverse reactions. some may simply tell you they have no clue. i still think it’s worth asking to force them to consider these mechanisms.

for additional consideration:

your pharmacist likely knows the answers to these questions better than your doctor does. 

an additional list of types of drugs which should be avoided is available here, in the table on the fourth page. (note that propranolol, a beta blocker, is often prescribed for POTS but is discouraged by this paper. as someone whose taken it, it’s worth trying to see if it will improve symptoms, but didn’t for me. Additionally, these are just guidelines, and in those with, for example, both hEDS and POTS, the benefits of opiates for pain relief may be worth the risk of worsening POTS.)

regardless of what the doctor says, I always look up the FDA info sheet before taking a medication. these can be found pretty easily on google (your med + “fda pdf”), and list most of the adverse effects. I’m happy to make a post about reading these info sheets.

there’s a reason prescribing medication is left to those with years of medical training - it’s a complicated and difficult process. but oftentimes those who do this work are so overworked and burnt out, they don’t have the ability to read someone’s entire medical file, or be aware of an adverse event that only affects those with an uncommon condition. I find asking these questions forces my doctors to think about my chronic conditions, and after so many adverse events, I always check a medication for myself before taking it. 

remember that you can and should refuse to take a medication that is making your life worse or harming you. even pediatric patients have the right to refuse a medication, and often times, I’ve found nothing other than a very firm “no, I refuse” will get a doctor to consider other options. and even though its against the norm, remember that you have the right to ask your doctor why they’ve chosen that medication for you.

as always, feel free to ask questions, they make my day!

#i have intense opinions on the usage of propranolol #also your doctor will not like being asked these questions #i did this to one once and their eyes got as big as dinner plates #then they ran out of the room presumably to google things or ask their supervisor #that medication did work for me tho #i also dont usually ask for short term medications or extremely common ones #ie like antibiotics #salt baby talks #pots #Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome #dysautonomia #ableism #disability

Oop, I realized I never actually posted about this, but!

Anyone remember my separated Donnie au? Code name: Violet skies? Well I'm remaking it! Rewriting it, even !!

Here's Foot Recruit/aka Donnie!

Draxum, quite begrudgingly, ends up raising the four turtles with Splinter: whom saved him when a part of the lab's roof collapsed, while he was holding onto two of the turtles. Splinter brought the both of them to the sewers, and it all happened from there.

The turtles grew up not too different, safe for extra actual training and knowledge of both the hidden city and things mystic; until Leo and Donnie turned 14. Donnie went out one day with Raph, and didn't come back.

Two years after his disappearance, when the series events begin, they find him in the Foot Clan. Now called just Foot Recruit, with no memory of them — and a good 6 years worth of memories of living with the foot clan.

#rottmnt #scrolls art #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt art #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt donnie #im not abandoning kraang leo btw #i love that silly little turtle to bits #just wanted to introduce him <3 my boy #foot recruit is an absolute MENACE in the foot clan bte #no more parental / brotherly supervisor means HE CAN DO WHATEVER pretty much #which includes; setting buildings on fire #commiting every type of fraud #threatening manslaughter #stealing vehicle's #vandalism #attempted experimentation on humans and yokai #and a long list of property damage #he's a menace to society. #and also having a rivarly with cassandra. (friendly rivalry mostly. expect Cass doesn't realize their like best friend's yet) #(their basically attached at the hip. they have movie nights which also doubles as girls night where they talk shit and complain)

[pangur-and-grim]

here’s a story! as a teenager I interned at a medical laboratory, painting stuff for them to use as stock images. 

my supervisor asked for organs (kidney, prostate, heart) and I went to work referencing surgical photos and listening to linkin park! but they didn’t end up using any of these, because they were deemed too graphic.

#supervisor also said my kidney looked like it had a dick #which made me sad

[surreal-duck]

good morning!

If your WoL got an archon mark, where would it be but more importantly what was their thesis that earned it.

#ffxiv #wolquestion #wol questions #obviously still thinking about Frog and Erenville FEUDING #I think she was never interested in a formal education #but damned if she isn't going to go get an archon mark in amphibians somehow #starting with a comprehensive list of the ones she's fished and the ones she's fought #(Once she's done reading that out all the thesis supervisors are asleep so she can say anything and they'll pass her out of embarrassment) #Anyway then she gets the archon mark on the back of her hand #you know so when she flips him off he has to see it :P #(... no I think she'd get the Urianger) #tbh we should all be allowed to just have a Circle of Knowing tattoo after all the work we've done #like that's just a political statement not gated behind a thesis right? #Anyway I am rambling - hit post

[roseworth]

what a fucking week (it’s 2 pm on a monday)

#i’m gonna have a very therapeutic lay on the ground for an hour tonight #i’m so fucking exhausted #also unrelated but vaguely related #the other day i told my supervisor i didn’t know how to do something she asked me to do #which was very hard for me! bc i’m not good at asking for help bc i don’t like to be annoying #anyways i asked her on friday and she never responded and i was like ‘ok she’s probably gone for the weekend and she’ll answer on monday’ #then i looked today and she just reacted with a 👍 to my message instead of. telling me how to do it #so i’m still stressed out about that but. girl i am so tired #i also promised myself i won’t get high in the middle of the week this week. so this is a test from god #and i may fail that test #we’ll try again next week #personal

Btw quick sickly son update I haven't been able to write any new stuff (just been refining everything I had already written). But! There's some pretty cool results in the thesis and I'm really happy with how it's turning out :)

#almost done almost done almost done <- mantra to keep me from going insane #my sickly son #my supervisors are wonderful people but they dont think i can finish in november #which is fair bc november is effectively like 1 more day and i have other stuff to do #but still very sad

I’ve always loved medicine bc it’s the perfect intersection of science and humanity—the two things I value above all else in this world. Truly adored it since I was in the cradle. But now I’m thinking about how so much of my journey to neurosurgery will have to involve KILLING my feelings essentially bc how do you survive otherwise

#Not to mention the surprisingly high suicide rate of surgeons that’s been brought to my attention lately #Honestly I just started my neuro internship and just saw my first patient in clinic #And on the day I did I was critical of my neurologist for being so robotic about it #Now I can see why #I’m still at a point where I can’t even do a chart review for a patient without feeling so fucking sad #And I can see how that can get unsustainable after a while #But it’s like if I kill the feelings that drive my passion for medicine to begin with then what’s the point #It’s not like I’m in it for the money or prestige bc that’s so dumb considering how long the schooling is #But literally how to deal #My supervisors at the clinic very much all speak about the dementia patients w a learned impartialness #But I don’t wanna be that way one day :( but how to be anything else and still survive #I’m pre med so I still have time and maybe my opinion will change and I’ll wanna do another specialty #But when it comes to this every specialty will involve human lives and navigating that regardless #That said I can see why surgeons are at higher risk or depression suicide etc #The whole point of this internship is to teach myself how to navigate this stuff but. Hate it #p #med tag

how does your detective feel about not being a detective anymore?

#maeve is fucking CARTWHEELING. she’s so glad. fucking hated the station. #plus she may have a change of getting an SUV (which i hc is an escalade) so she’s so happy #(it will hit her in a bit that hee becoming an agent makes adam her direct supervisor.) #hafsa is :/. she loves being detective. she doesn’t want to leave her bestie verda at all. #hafsa doesn’t want to be working with her mom. also doesn’t like the agency so. and she doesn’t get to practice as much science-y stuff #twc #the wayhaven chronicles #adam du mortain #a du mortain #ava du mortain #nate sewell #n sewell #nat sewell #not obx #hydrngea.txt

GOT COMMENTS ON MY PHD THESIS FROM THE MOST STRICT PROF IN MY COMMITTEE and she said ‘the thesis, and i specifically want to point out the discussion, is very beautifully written, especially considering how broad/detailed the subject studied is’ and she only has a few like technical details, she didn’t even send me the file back she just wrote it as bullet points in an email im literally about to fucking CRY

#I CANT BELIEVE IT LIKE THIS IS ITTTTTT #btw she’s VERY strict about Croatian language & grammar and very detailed about science and genetics specifically #which is like literally her field of research & also she wrote the part of the Croatian dictionary that has to do w scientific terms #SO LIKE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 remember when supervisor from hell said that i ‘clearly can’t write very well and need a lot of help with writing and the #Croatian language’ well babe 😌 maybe it’s a You thing instead of a me thing

"Good bones"

This week's edition of @galladrabbles has given us the prompt "Bones" Thanks to @heymacy. Hope you like : )

Word count: 100

-----

"Hey…save your energy. We're Christening every room in this house." Mickey said, as Ian put down the box labeled 'kitchen'. "Maybe you should help, then," Ian smirked, looking at Mickey, sitting, his feet up and on his phone. Ian flopped himself over the back of the couch. "More important things to spend my energy on," Mickey grinned, leaning down, kissing his husband.

Four sexcapades later, Ian rolled off of Mickey, panting, looking at the chipped ceiling paint. "We have so much to fix. But at least the house has…good bones," he snickered, suggestively. Mickey shook his head. "Jesus fucking Christ…"

#gallavich #ian gallagher #mickey milkovich #ian and mickey #ian x mickey #shameless #galladrabbles #mickey seems like someone who would not help with moving boxes #would consider himself the 'supervisor' #and they'd bone in every room #multiple times

people seeing the fallout of the hbomb/somerton situation and acting like academia is free of all of these issues and doesnt have its own content mill source of horror. lol. lmao

#'in academia you have to cite-' yes. and lots of marginalized people also get their research stolen by supervisors #or by others who are deemed more worthy #there's a huge problem in stem research with unreplicable results #and financing by MIC and industry actors who want one result only #in the humanities funding is very pointed and defined by political goals too #and yes publish or perish is a real thing and bad/plagiarized work isnt caught nearly as often as it should be #look. putting this all on like. youtube 'bad actors' or even just youtube is doing a major disservice to the real underlying causes #and why said 'bad actors' have monetary and structural incentive to act the way they do #and get rewarded for it #eli talks
