horror game where you play a knight who goes to slay a dragon but you immediately get caved in and have to find your way out of its lair before it tracks you down

A thriving ecosystem also exists around the dragon, including livestock that have escaped being eaten for generations and wild animals that have evolved to feed off the dragon. Different dragons may have their own bespoke ecosystems.

please listen to albums someitmes youll be amazed at what an artists songs do when theyree in an order they made. for you to listen to. etc

playlistification is the mind killer. the little death.

okay so being real here, as an independent musician, playlists are cool and serve a purpose - for making a driving mix or an exercise mix, or careful curation of music with similar themes or within similar genres. that’s the power of playlists - the personalisation aspect and also the sharing aspect.

but albums, albums my beloveds ! sometimes it’s more a collection of music made at a similar time; sometimes there’s a real cohesion and storytelling aspect. concept albums go 110% on this ! an album is an entire art piece made up of smaller art pieces.

some music is destined to get released as a single as it stands strong on its own as well as within that album. other music belongs entirely to that album. this is also where you get all the beautiful interludes and connections.

the real kicker here is a full album is expensive to produce and will make far less than if you release that same number of tracks as singles to get on playlists. this is why the EP is so popular now as it lets you do the album thing without losing a ton of money, and there’s usually 1-2 singles you can get off it.

merch is the saving grace for many artists, so if you love albums or you want to get into albums and you want to support your favourite bands, go buy a t-shirt and a CD at their next show.

buy a CD player if you don’t have one, or get an optical drive for your desktop/laptop. rip that CD and then you can put those files on whatever device you want and you still have the original physical copy <3

there’s something beautiful about putting on a CD or a vinyl to listen through. the physical act of picking it out and putting it in the player. the experience of sitting back and letting your mind get absorbed in it. go on a journey, my friends ! ^w^

Airplanes will have better bathrooms soon thanks to Pete Buttigieg

Lavatories will need to increase in size make them more accessible...

LGBTQ Nation

“This week, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a new rule requiring airlines to make bathrooms more accessible for disabled people. All new single-aisle aircraft will be fitted with fully-accessible lavatories.

Most flights inside the United States are single-aisle and as technology has improved, they are used more frequently for long flights, including coast-to-coast trips that can last as long as six hours. Double-aisle plans are already subject to the regulation but are primarily used for international flights.

Out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced the new regulations, saying, “Traveling can be stressful enough without worrying about being able to access a restroom; yet today, millions of wheelchair users are forced to choose between dehydrating themselves before boarding a plane or avoiding air travel altogether.” …

The secretary has made it a priority to improve service on airlines during his tenure. In 2022, six airlines were forced to pay millions of dollars in refunds to hundreds of thousands of customers and were also fined millions for causing the issues. The department’s firm stance on the side of customers has continued through this year after multiple companies have had meltdowns, stranding thousands of travelers.

All planes delivered to airlines starting in 2026 must include several upgrades. Planes already in service will not need to be retrofitted unless the plane is renovated.

“These aircraft must have at least one lavatory of sufficient size to permit a passenger with a disability (with the help of an assistant, if necessary) to approach, enter, and maneuver within the aircraft lavatory, to use all lavatory facilities, and leave by means of the aircraft’s onboard wheelchair if necessary,” the DOT said in a statement.

Accessible faucets and controls, grab bars, accessible call buttons and door locks, minimum obstruction to the passage of an onboard wheelchair, and an available visual barrier for privacy are also required upgrades.”

Wayyyyyyy fucking overdue but I’ll take it!! Also, very nice curb cut effect: We all get to be less miserable on airplanes, and older people don’t have to worry as much about airplane bathroom fall risks.

Even though April had all the clinical signs of schizophrenia, the team believed that the underlying cause was lupus, a complex autoimmune disorder where the immune system turns on its own body, producing many antibodies that attack the skin, joints, kidneys or other organs. But April’s symptoms weren’t typical, and there were no obvious external signs of the disease; the lupus appeared to only be affecting her brain.

The autoimmune disease, it seemed, was a specific biological cause — and potential treatment target — for the neuropsychiatric problems April faced. (Whether her earlier trauma had triggered the disease or was unrelated to her condition wasn’t clear.)

The diagnosis made Markx wonder how many other patients like April had been missed and written off as untreatable.

“We don’t know how many of these people are out there,” Markx said. “But we have one person sitting in front of us, and we have to help her.”

The medical team set to work counteracting April’s rampaging immune system and started April on an intensive immunotherapy treatment for neuropsychiatric lupus. Every month for six months, April would receive short, but powerful “pulses” of intravenous steroids for five days, plus a single dose of cyclophosphamide, a heavy-duty immunosuppressive drug typically used in chemotherapy and borrowed from the field of oncology. She was also treated with rituximab, a drug initially developed for lymphoma.

The regimen is grueling, requiring a month-long break between each of the six rounds to allow the immune system to recover. But April started showing signs of improvementalmost immediately.

As part of a standard cognitive test known as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), she was asked to draw a clock — a common way to assess cognitive impairment. Before the treatment, she tested at the level of a dementia patient, drawing indecipherable scribbles.

But within the first two rounds of treatment, she was able to draw half a clock — as if one half of her brain was coming back online, Markx said.

Following the third round of treatment a month later, the clock looked almost perfect.

Despite this improvement, her psychosis remained. As a result, some members of the team wanted to transfer April back to Pilgrim Psychiatric Center, Markx said. At the time, Markx had to travel home to the Netherlands, and feared that in his absence, April would be returned to Pilgrim.

On the day Markx was scheduled to fly out, he entered the hospital one last time to check on his patient, who he typically found sitting in the dining room in her catatonic state.

But when Markx walked in, April didn’t seem to be there. Instead, he saw another woman sitting in the room.

“It didn’t look like the person I had known for 20 years and had seen so impaired,” Markx said. “And then I look a little closer, and I’m like, ‘Holy s—. It’s her.’”

It was as if April had awakened after more than 20 years.

A catatonic woman awakened after 20 years. Her story may change psychiatry.

TL;DR in case you don’t want to read or you’re out of free WaPo articles: Article describes two cases of young women who were diagnosed with severe schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, respectively. Both spent 1-2 decades in inpatient psychiatric hospitals because their conditions were so severe and did not respond to psychiatric treatment, including ECT. This doctor realizes they have lupus that is attacking their brains. He treats the lupus. Both of them improve quickly and drastically. Article wonders how many people with “treatment-resistant schizophrenia” actually have autoimmune diseases targeting their brains… which could be easily identified with a blood test.

“Markx and other doctors believe there are probably many more patients whose psychiatric conditions are caused or exacerbated by autoimmune issues.”

Nope.

They have a gas-based firefighting system instead of sprinklers for obvious reasons. It does lower the percentage of oxygen in the building, but not enough to kill anyone.

I found this by googling “Yale library fire oxygen.” It was literally the first result.

Fact-checking is your friend.

It’s true. It’s not the fire suppression system that kills you. The Librarians come and personally murder you for starting a fire in a library. But you didn’t start a fire you say? No matter. You are collateral damage. Everybody gets killed to show that arsonists have no chance of escaping justice
