Thoughtlets: Pregnancy and Cadavers

From here:

"In the current system in the US and many other countries, cadavers have more rights than pregnant people. If I was pregnant and dying from it, and found myself at a catholic hospital, they could (and likely would) refuse to save my life if there was even a trace of fetal heartbeat. They would, against my will, forfeit my own right to live for the sake of a fetus-- a fetus that would also die when I did. Once I was dead, however, the hospital wouldn't be able to use my organs to save other people no matter how imminent their deaths. They could refuse to save my life regardless of how desperate I was to live, they could effectively murder me, but they can't touch my corpse without very clear permission.

Let that sink in for a minute. If I'm pregnant, I have fewer rights to bodily autonomy than if I am dead."

DTW DeathTube #3, Claudia RP 1/1: I bet her throat tastes like peaches.

I have a mission to complete. A top secret mission. A super duper ultra black top secret mission to carry out on behalf of my cute, cuddly, ice-cold not-quite-so-evil overlord Kalinda.

So secret, in fact, that she doesn't know about it.

She probably wouldn't approve of it, and it would make her depressed to think about, so I'm not going to tell her about it.

As a right and proper minion it is my duty to serve my mistress and do my best to make her happy and contented. Sometimes just being my usually silly clowny self is enough, but sometimes it's not.

The boss lady's got a big thing coming up, some kind of one night random tournament-y thing in DTW that she's kind of honked off about.

DTW DeathTube #3, Kalinda RP 1/1: Sky Blue and the Seven Dorks



I can't stop smiling.

I was trapped in a dumpster filled with barbed wire that had become so entangled and embedded in my clothes that I had to leave a goodly portion of them behind. Not that they weren't ruined to begin with, as a good deal of my opponent's blood had splattered all over them.

The dumb bald bastard had dragged us both into my goddamned dumpster full of barbed wire. Me being so much heavier and falling in first, I pretty much sank to the bottom. Him being merely mortal and not virtually indestructible, he managed to actually get the barbed lodged in his flesh rather than just his clothing.

We both required several men with bolt cutters to get us out.

Riddick went to the hospital, while I pulled my Coat of Holding out of thin air, put it on, and walked to the back.

It's the most fun I'd had in a wrestling match in a long time. Hell, it might be my favorite wrestling match I've ever taken part in period.

DTW DeathTube #2, Kalinda RP 1/1: Weapons-Grade Autism


My first DTW match signed, sealed, and delivered.

Thank the gods! It felt good to wrestle how I'd wanted to, without limitations, without rules, without sanctions put in to take away everything that makes me special, and without motherfucking stage hands in black grabbing all the shit I intended to use to beat the fuck out of people with and spiriting it away to the back.

I'm singing "Grandma Got Run Over By a Dragon," a little tune of my own composition and am folding my ring gear up and putting it in my bag when something is wrapped around my neck and tightened.

Hmm. I think it's barbed wire attached to two wooden handles, which are meant to be crossed over behind my neck and twisted tighter and tighter, either increasing the choke, or breaking my neck.

DTW DeathTube #1, Kalinda RP 1/1: Of Granny Gankings and Girlcocks


For perhaps the first time since being forcibly dragged from my home world to this bland, boring backwater of an uninspired orb-shaped realm (whose creator being is obsessed with beetles), I was actually feeling like I was back home.

Unfortunately it wasn't the "being happily left alone without having to adventure, left to run my tavern/inn/pizza parlor in peace" sort of home-y feeling, but rather the "being dragged to big social gatherings put on by the rich and powerful and competing for silly prizes in any of a thousand various ridiculous dog and pony show events" sort of home-y feeling.

Much to my sorrow the day's festivities lacked my favorite event. I was just as loud and vocal about my displeasures back home as I was when given a microphone and an international television audience, so I had a tendency to piss people off. But alas, no one had challenged me to an honor duel or attempted to kill me.

VK's Pizza Adventures 3

Digiorno Rising Crust 5.5/10
Digiorno Pizzaria Thin 6.5/10
Tony's 5/10

Of all the brands thus far Digiorno is my favorite. Though the Freschetta is cheaper, I thought the Digiorno was more flavorful. The crust is about the same, but the taste is definitely better on the Digiorno. It's still not fantastic, but it's pretty good.

5.5/10



Despite being listed as thin crust, the Digiorno Pizzaria Pizza I tried wasn't too terribly much thinner than the usual Digiorno offering, but there was something added in this that made it taste quite a lot better. It's the best frozen pizza I've had thus far, and it's only slightly more expensive than the normal offering.

6.5/10



Tony's

Tony's is a middle of the road cost pizza, and usually one of the cheaper brands, about $2.50 or so usually. It's not too terribly flavorful, and falls into the blandness of most frozen pizzas.

But I really like the way the crust on this one feels. It's thick enough to where there's some heft to it and it's filling, but isn't so thick that you lose the majority of the crunch. If I could get the Digiorno Pizzaria toppings and sauce on this crust it'd probably be my perfect frozen pizza.

5/10
