love when a professor is like "i'm not assigning any work over the break, take it easy" like that is literally so sweet and so considerate but I will not be taking it easy because no other professor at this school shares your philosophy
adults: oh silly children with no responsibilities no real trauma no life experience no worries and yet oh so dramatic about nothing
also adults: oh thank fucking GOD i am not in school anymore, i had another nightmare i was THERE again, i woke up in a cold sweat bc i didn't study for my TEST-there's nothing not anything like the sweet relief of realizing that you actually don't have one and you won't have one in a very very long time, i still remember what the hallways smell like, i graduated years ago but i don't feel safe yet
My fav, cause then you get cytiptid Jango too
So my favorite Star Wars AU is when the Clones are just a little more than human, in the other worldly sense.
Like, yeah, Anakin's half force, but everyone who goes through ARC training can't die and no one's really sure why, but some asshole just shot Fives in the temple and all it did was make him mad.
And sure, Mace can see shatterpoints, but Commander Fox has eyes the color of freshly spilled blood and once threw a man threw three durasteel walls.
And maybe Obi-Wan is the consummate Jedi, but he's pretty sure he just saw Tup reach through a man, but when he questions Cody about it there's something eerie and ancient in his gaze that Obi-Wan doesn't want to question.

Week 1 update!
Day of everyone was extremely respectful and kind, they were great with giving clear instructions and making sure I knew what was going on. They created a very easy going atmosphere.
I briefly got to see Dr. Mundy before going back and she checked in with the desired scar placements.
Even coming out of anesthesia, the nurses were very kind and attentive, making sure I was comfortable and not in pain. She went over how to clear the drains as well as providing a paper with the steps.
Dr. Mundy and her team were VERY attentive and able to see me quickly when we had an issue with the suction on one of the drain sites. They were also available to answer and clarifying questions to given instructions that differed between the original instruction packet. I was able to shower 48 hours after the procedure, I believe it was because I did not get nipple graphs.
For the week 1 post operation visit, I saw Dr. Mundys assistant, PA Bes. PA Bes was open to and made sure to explain in detail any questions we had, including drain site care, binder care, use of the binder(I was mild swelling so the instructions differed), what to expect for the next week and how to get moving. She was once again very kind and checked in if I wanted to be talked through what was going on when she removed my drains, or if I would prefer distraction. Bes showed my mom what the site discharge could look like and what to expect. She made sure we were stocked on anything we would need for the rest of the week and gave advice/alternative ways to keep the gauze pads in place if the tape was irritating my skin.
I've rarely seen reviews/posts on top surgery with John Hopkins, probably due to their strict privacy policy, but I wanted to note on my experience.
As of writing this I am 5 days from my set date with Dr. Mundy at Hopkins. I've had a very welcoming experience, everyone I interacted with was extremely respectful of my name and pronouns (I am an enby, and had my name legally changed during the process).
I had a short wait for a consult because I chose to go with Dr Mundy dispute her being new. Dr Laing had a much longer wait list, as she is the known sergoen at Hopkins. The consult was very very brief and I did not ask many questions, partially due to nurves and how much I've prepped for surgery. I did not know at the time, but you must request to see patient results due to their privacy policy. Even without seeing photos, Dr Mundy made me feel extremely comfortable and went over everything with me and I feel comfortable going into surgery without seeing photos. Her assistant went over everything Dr Mundy did as well when she came to take photos. Both her and Dr Mundy were extremely respectful and made sure myself and my mother who accompanied me felt sucure in our understanding.
I was extremely lucky and was at least partially due to scheduling with Dr Mundy that from a May consultant I was able to schedule surgery with her in early July. With scheduling we were very clear on our limitations with travel and school in the fall and they were amazing at following them.
Some thoughts I've had that I wish was handled better was doctor preference. A lot of Hopkins preparation documents and instructions simply saying "follow doctors preference"( ex, soap for showering day of, drinking limitations, etc) Except I never went over preferences with Dr. Mundy. They did clear up the drinking limitaions with the surgery prep call before my surgery date, but I was never instructed on which soap to use, simple told to follow doctors preference or instructions. I understand Dr Mundy is new to Hopkins and she may not be as familiar with their policies, and Hopkins does provide a general soap guild line that I will be following, but still feel it should be noted.
Bonus points for anything food/consumption related

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.
“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?
Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.
Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.
So recently the mayor of my city placed a bunch of sharp stones under a bridge commonly used by homeless people to escape the harsh tropical storms we experience during the summer
A priest decided that was an utterly anti humanitarian course of action (rightfully so) and so his solution.. was to destroy those rocks with a hammer.
I'm not Catholic (in fact, I grew up Jewish and am now atheist) but I feel this is what religion is supposed to be about. Using the divine to help humans behave a little more... human.
