Good news first, we’ve completed about 70% of Dr. Flug’s route (the last 30% is all planned, it just needs to be written out)! Bad news is that Mod Hiro is no longer able to fulfill her job as a writer, but she will continue to be the programmer.
So as of right now, we are looking for new writers! If you’d like to join our development team as a writer please DM me @lillulu228 examples of your best works! Besides general writing, we’re looking particularly for good angst and fluff writers.
Also a heads up to any artist who would like to join the team, we will be looking for background artist and digital painters in the near future!
Lastly, a little personal update, Mod Hiro is currently going through a lot of personal business so I’ve been taking the reins since then. Thankfully I’m just about to end my second to last quarter of school and will be graduating this summer so I’ve got more time to devote to this project! Also special thanks to @pokipi-extraterrestrial-alien for helping me with the writing!
Thank you all once again for your patience and support, we really do greatly appreciate it!! 💖💖 - Mod Lulu
Hey, just wanted to remind everyone that we’re looking for writers! We’ve only had a couple people reach out so far so please don’t hesitate if you’re interested! In order to keep our project moving along I’ll be picking our writers in the next week. Thank you to those who have reached out so far! -Mod Lulu
Did you know that Narcan/Naloxone kits are free at many pharmacies? Totally free!
-“I don’t use opioids, why should I carry a kit?” For the same reason it’s good to know other forms of first aid and be prepared! Plus you probably have people around you who do just based on the whole “living in a society” thing.
-“That sounds really scary to use, I don’t know how to administer it” Don’t worry, your pharmacist will give you a tutorial with lots of detail.
-“Giving a stranger a shot isn’t something I could do, I’m afraid of needles” You’ve got two options there: One version of the kit has a nasal spray, so zero needle. But even the injectable version is not actually that complicated, and you’ll get shown how to administer, and where. Either way, you’re covered!
-“I’m scared of the stigma of asking my pharmacist” You can just get it at another pharmacy, if you’re worried about that.
Almost nobody seems to know that this is absolutely a free, simple thing you can get that could save a life! I only talk about Ontario here because that’s where I am, but anyone who has more regional information should add to this.
white people talking about how “new pandemics always come from china” thinking they’re so smart, while ignoring that the proximity to farmland, agriculture and population density in rural areas is like several times that of Europe, Australia and USA. like stop acting as if y'all didn’t literally commit genocide by introducing the flu and go feed herbal tea your unvaxxed kids, karen
there are white men don’t wash their asses because they think it’s gay, half of you people don’t take your filthy goddamn shoes off in your own house and track street dirt and dog shit into your own homes and others don’t know how to clean your damn legs properly in the shower. whites don’t get to talk about Chinese people’s hygiene until you learn to reign in that kind of sociopathy and stop bringing back polio
lol so this is gaining notes and making whites cry so let me explain this.
the virus spread the way it did because of collosal government mismanagement borne from nothing more than pride, bureaucracy and stupidity. The local Wuhan government have been dragged by the hair by the media and its citizens for censoring the announcement not giving the hospitals enough support to prepare for the sheer scale of the outbreak. The doctors who blew the whistle as early as December, when the outbreak could have been managable, were detained and social media posts were censored. patients were not given enough information or systemic support to even glimpse how serious it was. No one was taking safety measures and now hospitals and staff are stretched thin.
This post is, in no way or form, diminishing the blame from the government.
HOWEVER. The primary narrative among white twitter and fearmongering gossip rags has been to dehumanise Chinese people as virus-bearing hordes crossing the border to infect everyone they touch. There’s been an increase in racial violence across US, Europe and Australia and a humanitarian crisis is being used to enforce and justify exclusion, fascist rhetoric, and harsh border policies.
The discourse around sanitation and how it’s been weaponised against racialised bodies has long been a tool of white supremacists to enact racial violence, dehumanisation, and oppressive measures, and it’s up to poc to activately push back on those narratives and call out those double standards.
The narrative that the nCov spread purely because of Chinese cultural practises rather than incompetent government fuckup and repression is fascist rhetoric. It is purely based on white violence and enables far-right rhetoric.
it’s so weird how much of a raccoon’s… raccoonness? is tied up in its pattern. This looks like a completely different animal, some sort of weird marsupial.
