White T Poison

Power meets Izutsumi the cat devil. Together they completely decimate the local wildlife..

And by "love" I mean in the literary sense, in that it's an excellent depiction of how systemic ableism works.

Beldaruit is privileged in a lot of ways! Being able to know about magic at all is a privilege. He is one of the three wise. He has personal and political power akin to royalty in this world. His sealchair is much more complex and advanced than Custas' (and, mind you, even the barebones version is prohibitively expensive/difficult to replace).

But when the girls are passing their test, one of the spells they use is to widen the stairway... because even Beldaruit can't move around the Great hall normally. He has to use smoke-sculpture copies to get most places and talk to people. This is the heart of their society, this is the place that should have everything a witch could ever want, and one of their three most powerful members can't move around it freely.

The hall could have been build with wide passages and spiraling ramps. But it wasn't. (This is often true in real life too- building something to be accessible from the get-go isn't hard, it's converting or altering something that becomes complicated or expensive). But even if they didn't think of that when the Hall was first built, someone could have done something once Beldaruit was one of the three wise. Considering a group of teenagers could come up with the spell that widened the hallway, it can't actually have been highly advanced.

Every time you ask Copilot to write you a PowerShell script to stroke your boss' ego, a city experiences a brownout.

Every time you chat with your AI "girlfriend" a farmer doesn't get to water their animals.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

)

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of their dogs skulls (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, came out and aimed at de Gonzales…but Hoss jumped in front of the bullet and was instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobia murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Hoss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

DEI does not mean lower standards.

Departments with a significant percentage of female surgeons have better overall patient outcomes for all surgeons.

This is demonstrated in study after study after study.

Why? Because surgery is such a male-dominated field that a female surgeon has to be orders of magnitudes better than her male peers to be considered for the same job positions/research grants, etc.

And when you get enough female surgeons in a department, they start being able to influence decision-making to improve patient safety and procedure efficacy for the entire department.

But hospitals don't like hiring female surgeons because they might do something inconvenient like needing time off to give birth to the next generation.

DEI in medicine doesn't just ensure a genuinely merits-based hiring process, as opposed to a convenience-based one.
