bsky.app/profile/dark... Making our own Zandali holidays until Blizzard hashes some out

Crying that Blizzard was like "Sorry we killed all your Loa and the surviving one is now the Zandalari patron Loa, but you can have this consolidation pr-- I mean brand new Loa! Slender Man, Small Creature and Trash Loa! Aren't you happy?" Shirvallah is in witness protection and dyed her fur.

Got a 97 on my oncology oral exam which was the head of oncology making me rapid fire questions for 5 minutes that popped into her head :D

Didn't study at all for my oncology final because my gynecology rotation had me barely alive plus all the drama from yesterday and guess what? Got a high grade lmao and I know most of the answers of most of the questions

Situation resolved and they said all is well with me again

I'm pissed. I'm being punished in my clinical rotation on my last day of the rotation because someone else fucked up royally too many times. I'm seething man.

An oriental vision of "western" fantasy fairyland goes back to 1910's Lord Dunsany's fey cities in english moors have Islamic minarates, golden domes. The model for World of Warcraft's blood elf Silvermoon "...a city of white marble and gold-tipped minarets... The city was obviously of the East..."

They are still likely Dark Troll offshoot by timeline Dragonflight novel affirms that Trolls were around in the early days of the Dragonflights Dazar is not the first instance of "Troll civilization"; Bwonsamdi predates Dazar by millenia

A patient gave me Bad Vibes so I checked fetal heart rate again even though we had just done a monitorization 15 minutes prior and lo and behold the baby was Not Okay and we did an emergency cesarean Doc said good job and said I can sleep Honk snoo time

Showed up to night shift and the gynecologist was like, "You deserve more days off, you're one of the better students", and I was like "Oh but I have Monday off" and she was like "I grant you Tuesday off". Based.

🔮 MIDNIGHT SPOILERS 🔮 Please, PLEASE, do not villain bat him, please let us have a guy who is complex and not always "right" without killing him. He sounds like such a wonderful character I don't want him to die. We deserve a male troll character to stay for good after Vol'jin, Zul and Rastakhan.

Sometimes you have clinical rotations where you don't learn what to do but rather learn what not to do, who you don't want to become, and what you plan on never doing 🙏

The speed at which they addressed this and implemented such sweeping changes is honestly super commendable

i tried to get baal's writing on polygon and it never worked out for various reasons but now i own my own site (or at least a chunk of it) and now I make the rules babey!!!!!

This quest has been changed on the alpha! You are now explicitly given a personal choice between aiding the blood elves in escalating the conflict, or attempting to de-escalate by dissuading the blood elf forces.

Give my first video game article a read :D

Juan is one of the best journalists in the WoW community. I read everything he writes.

This is such a wonderful piece and I'm so glad we have it on our site. Thank you @andeanhermedic.bsky.social!

Give my first video game article a read :D

A new guest piece from @andeanhermedic.bsky.social about finding representation in WoW's Zandalari. www.rogue.site/editorials/w...

"All that matters now is only to resemble oneself, to find oneself everywhere, multiplied but loyal to one's personal formula; to see the same credit listings everywhere, be on all movie screens at once." - The Ecstasy of Communication

Baudrillard described the ecstasy of communication as an infinite fractal Narcissus, refracting himself in a thousand small mirrors, with no greater desire than to see one's formula, face, "code" reproduced and reflected back on every screen and billboard. Now tell me what this is.

biblical literalism is such a specific historical moment, too. What Origen means by “literal” isn’t what we mean by it, which emerges as a direct reaction to the development of biblical scholarship. It insists on literal meaning by assuming a modern empirical universe.

Gay Republicans are gonna spin this so hard lol

Reposted with permission but yeah I do not think Blizzard is introducing Harranir into the game well. I think the way they are written overlaps with Troll, Night Elf, and Tauren lore in a way that undermines those races.

My mind, my impact, my questions

Mother!!!!

~💜 Midnight Alpha 💜~ Spoilers re Shadra. 🕷️ #MidnightAlpha #Midnight #WoW #Warcraft

Can't believe no one said @andeanhermedic.bsky.social and An'she! And @theprinxe.bsky.social and Zul'jin

Zul'jin for @groxi.bsky.social Vol'jin for @andeanhermedic.bsky.social Uther for @thompshire.bsky.social

If Genn can stay alive being a jusitified anti-Horde character, Zul'jan can stay alive as an anti-EK'Dorei character, let him be a cunt that we maybe have to smack into respecting our power and his sisters leadership AT MOST

In addition to Liadrin already being self aware, I think an additional bit that could be added to the writing is realizing she's been with the Horde for nearly 30 years, as long as the Revantusk, and she never bothered to learn anything about them

Jan'alai is a Loa of birth, death, and rebirth; a lot of phoenix imagery. Not just fire! @andeanhermedic.bsky.social Appreciate Zul'jarra says "Heh." a lot. It's a fun way to show her type of comedy. More amazing dialogue between Liadrin and Zul'Jarra. If you don't ship them by now, I dunno

Mmmm, more good conversation. Zul'jin was a complex figure and they aren't letting you forget that. He's not being painted as just a bad guy. Really like Liadrin's voice here counterbalanced with Zul'jarra. @andeanhermedic.bsky.social LOOK ITS VINDICATION ABOUT THE TRIBE NAMING CONVENTIONS

There are two tendencies in the medical field that stress me out: 1) confusing imparting humanistic values as teaching humanities proper, and a lack of self awareness therein 2) a deep ignorance of history

Praise An'she. Art from @lisso_duarte (disappeared :( sad), @mnevesart (on twt), and @balintcservenyi.bsky.social

AN'SHE MENTIONED AT THE SUNWELL @groxi.bsky.social @andeanhermedic.bsky.social @groadytoady.bsky.social @vaknosh.bsky.social @pyrogar.bsky.social

Meanwhile, Obama never won a majority of the white vote.

They want you to believe white people looked within their hearts and decided it was okay for one of us to be President and Obama was chosen after a careful vetting process for suitability like Jackie Robinson.

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

do i control the failing Westphalian system of international relations that is responsible for the mismanagement of the public commons by providing no coherent and fully integrated system for internalizing the negative externalities of world fisheries

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Just gonna start self identifying as a magician and necromancer like Saint Albert the Great tbh

“Civility” is how the modern Right — and increasingly the modern “middle” — describes the attitude “thank you Sir, may I have another”

Remember, it’s not the content of his words but the politeness of his vibes that’s important.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

With the Kirk assassination becoming clearer, we need to talk about the radicalized, Right Wing subculture that carries out terrorism and mass shootings. They’re an essential part of MAGA and so people really don’t want to see what is undeniable. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-threat...

Most of us who study these things knew, right away, there was a very good chance this was a groyper or accelerationists, all while our politicians and media members lined up to normalize Kirk and blather on about “disagreeing better.” It’s horseshit and detrimental. The story was obvious.
