All 24 pages of Pipeburn in the first chapter on slipshine are completely body horror free fluffy cyberpunk romance, but I have a few little extra freebies planned to flesh out the world/characters some more, this particular one featuring a spooky nightmare surgeon and the origin behind a few of Gray’s more obvious scars.
If you wanna see these updates before they go public, I post them for anyone pledging any amount on patreon.
Little Pipeburn bonus freebie, please mind all the appropriate warnings about surgery and body horror if you aren’t into that (the slipshine chapter doesn’t include anything like that, in case you were worried)

My gorgeous boyfriend is raising money for him to get top surgery as he has been waiting on the NHS waiting list for over 2 ½ years now. He is told it could be 3 years before he actually gets surgery but with going private it can be as little as four weeks waiting. Although, it is £6000. It would be greatly appreciated if you could donate something so he can start living his life. If you can’t donate, no worries, just sharing this would be great! Thank you so much ❤️
Hii friends - currently willing myself to sit through four hours worth of lectures on suturing. Basically which knots to tie and when. Kinda dull ngl, would much rather be learning about the surgeries themselves but I know every single bit of knowledge is a step in the right direction so I’ve got my bubble tea and i’m trying to pay close attention!
Also my driving instructor said I did good today hehehe. Next on the agenda after these lectures: draft my essay and edit a yt video on how I study!
Drop me any asks you have or comment or message me about how your day is going! I love speaking to all of you :D

friendly reminder that opioids aren’t some profoundly dangerous thing. you’re literally ok to get them for surgery, procedures, etc. You won’t die if you take an extra one. Don’t deprive yourself of pain relief because of paranoid hysteria.
(the addiction rate is also very, very low)
I agree with the above post, but please exercise some caution with them. Even though the addiction rate is low, there still is a rate, so just stick with what youre prescribed and stick to recommended dose
Of course, always exercise caution when taking more than prescribed (I firmly reject the notion that that is in and of itself a key indicator of addiction, I’m a sentient human being who knows there is a tangible effect with my pain medicine and have transient pain that can’t just follow verbatim instructions) but in general people do not have to endure suffering because they’re aggressively paranoid about addiction.
The strongest risk factors for addiction are preexisting mental health conditions but especially prior substance misuse (well, abuse, but that term is less preferred because it’s stigmatizing but I think it explains the idea better — misuse to the point of acute harm) and socioeconomic determinants of health that reinforce drug use as a coping mechanism. Dose, duration, specific opioid are all much less predictive of addictive risk.
An overwhelming majority of “accidental addicts” actually weren’t all that accidental.
And as far as the most extreme outcome, fatal overdose, that’s just simply not likely unless you’re being ultra silly. The LD50 of morphine is estimated to be about 150-250mg. That is equal to about 30-50 standard (5mg) Vicodin (1.0x conversion factor for hydrocodone) or 10-17 highest strength (10mg) Percocet (1.5x conversion for oxycodone).
[HARM REDUCTION] And please god if you are going to enjoy a recreational dose of them (no judgement here) please avoid concomitant use of alcohol and/or benzodiazepines. Potentiation gets people killed if you underestimate it. Neither is likely to kill you by themselves without a very irresponsibly large dose, but together the risk profile grows dramtically. If using multiple CNS depressants, cut all doses. Obvious harm reduction recommendations of start low, go slow also apply.
Trephination, or trepanning, is the oldest surgical procedure in the history of humankind. It’s so old that our earliest archeological evidence of the practice dates back to the Neolithic age. Cave paintings depict the procedure as an effort to relieve a type of demonic possession that we would now label epilepsy or a variety of other mental maladies. It was also used to removed broken bits of skull after trauma, and drain blood pooling between the skull and dura matter. The crazy thing about the prehistoric use of puncturing-a-hole-in-your-freaking-skull was that most of the wounds show signs of healing, indicating that these people most often survived the procedure. Other archeological evidence suggests that these people would wear the fragment of skull removed as a charm.
We still trephinate people today, typically to relieve the effects of severe head trauma and for craniectomy (unfortunately if you have this done today they won’t give you the bone to wear as a charm. I figure if I’m letting them crack open my skull the least they could do is give me a souvenir).

Holy shit
Weird flex but holy shit
They did surgery on an egg.
Amazing
he showed his surgical precision but not his bedside manners. who spins a patient rapidly after surgery and feels good about it
Most surgeons do, the patients just never remember it because they are still unconscious.
It’s how they check everything is finished right, you spin the patient and check nothing flew off.
Medicalizing being trans is about:
- Making it easier and cheaper for trans people to get hrt and surgery under insurance
- Making de-transitioners less common
Medicalizing being trans is NOT about:
- Telling anyone if they are or are not trans because their dysphoria doesn’t match a “one size fits all” model
Remember that wanting to make detransitioners less common doesn’t mean it’s not okay to detransition! We make mistakes! We have phases! We just wanna prevent people from medically transitioning and finding out the hard way :)

All I wanted was a sports bra that zipped because the one my surgeon gave me is too loose on me now. Mission failed.

Kitten paralyzed by botched microchip insertion might walk again
The kitten had to be microchipped as part of the adoption process. But soon her rescuer noticed something had gone horribly wrong.The kitten started acting lethargic, couldn’t walk properly and dragging his entire left side. She thought it was odd since it happened right after the placement of the microchip.
