As a woman, I can't help but feel disgusted every time I see someone say that phrase unironically or even if they are trying to be ironic, I am not letting that slide by slightest.
You mean to tell me you label any existing woman as an animal who kill defendless creatures for no reason not even to survive, hurt the person who feeds them and care for them, and have no respect to boundaries? What is wrong with you? the audacity to even label an entire human gender as an animal is an insult alone, I even dislike it when people think that women like to be called "kittens" the word alone makes me want to puke not because I hate cats with a burning passion but just how overly sexualized that word is it's just so weird people sexualized a word that is supposed to mean a baby animal its absolutely disgusting and disturbing.
Labeling human beings with intelligence and morals as animals is absurdity at best not only you insult them but view them as creatures who have no brain nor basic thinking skills and the worst thing creatures that massacre the environment and serve no "extremely important" use whatsoever.
Femininity is a special human trait that should be praised not insulted or compared to some kind of creatures that doesn't have morals. I may not be a "Pro-Feminist", but I believe it's extremely insulting to compare us to animals. You don't dare to compare your mother to an animal, do you?

Hi there. I discovered I had C-PTSD in my 20's. I'm in my mid to late 30's now and for a few years have thought I was autistic due to my father receiving the diagnosis and the likelyhood of male heritability of ASD (autism spectrum disorder). This hit me hard at the time and has had lingering effects on my psyche and mental health due to an increased sence of permanence of my condition. I knew there was a ton of overlap in symptomology and some of it made sence as ASD. I understand that selfdiagnosis is a dangerous thing but they planted a seed in my brain and it grew into a weed. Recently however I listened to a book that has made me seriously question ASD as an option for myself. Certain traits I assumed could only be ASD I began viewing as possibly just C-PTSD. In fact, the more I compare the symptomology the more I see ways that so called ASD specific traits could be viewed in a light of PTS. For example: difficulty with social cues and navigating social situations could be viewed in the light of an overactive Default Mode Network and subsequent anxiety. Sensory sensitivities could be viewed in terms of an enlarged amygdala from trauma. Problems reading or overreacting to facial cues could be the result of hyperarrousal or hypervigilance and distrust issues from abuse. Repetetive behaviors and self interests could be manifested as workaholism or distractions both to cope with the anxiety from an overactive Default Mode network. And for survivors of the TTI and institutional abuse in general or those under extreme pressures to regulate emotions at home, logical thinking could be attributed to the unhealthy and unrelenting pressure to remove all reactionary tendencies at the expense of ones existing personality in a necessity to work said programs or home environments. Emotional detachment is common accross the board when it come to survivors. There are also studies about PTS prevalence in the ASD community vs the NT (Neuro typical) community and the rates are magnitudes higher in the ASD community. I don't meant offend anyone's sensitivities. I understand that ASD can and does yet does not always exist separately from C-PTSD. This equates to a thought experiment. What I hope for is to hear from those people who believe or have believed they have one or the other or both said conditions or were at least lead to believe one or the other condition represented them. Just looking to hear any thought you may have tegarding this topic. Does anyone think that C-PTSD could be misdiagnosed as ASD due to C-PTSD not being in the DSM5? If applicable, what are your own experiences navigating these different possibilities with respect to yourselves? Did or does one or the other act as a heavier weight to carry? How did your coping strategies differ between one or the other or did they not? How did you grapple with the uncertainty caused by the multitude of shared traits between ASD and PTSD/ C-PTSD? If this is new to you and you are unaware of the shared traits between the conditions, a google search of the two conditions vs each other can bring up some handy symptomology Venn diagrams to stir your thoughts. I have not mentioned here those traits assumed to be shared or those assumed to be strictly from PTS. All this being said I hate labels. Labels force us to see things through a focused discriminatory lens and often the totality of interactions and the web that makes things as they are is missed. That being said society would be rather hard to navigate without nouns. I suppose keeping a rational and open mind amid the onslaught of societal dogma is the only way forward accordingly. Whatever your thoughts on the matter please remember that you are wonderful and complex and that it's ok to be exactly as you are. I wish you all well.

No Labels. No Platforms.
There, I said it. We got the talking part out of the way.
Now what does this look like when applied?
Am I crazy? Is this a knee-jerk reaction from some guy that’s just had enough of trying to fit into whatever cookie-cutter bullshit is hot this week?
Possibly, but let me explain-
I was born in 1980. Let’s get that out of the way off top so you know what tone to read this diatribe in.
I was barely a walking, talking human by the time of Regan’s inauguration. This ushered in the era of preppy excess on one side of the spectrum and the crack epidemic on the other. Rarely did these worlds coincide but they definitely coexisted. Suburban kids were watching the ‘Corys’ (Haim & Feldman) hoping to be the coolest kid on their block with the freshest vehicle, courtesy of mom & dad, that would surely get them the girl. The rest of us were bringing paper food stamps to school to hit the corner store during class break. And the cats we looked up too weren’t named Cory and they definitely weren’t daytime TV or even USA Up All Night material.
And the music? I can’t explain how fresh it was. You had to be there. I’m not gonna gas you up like some of these cats and attempt to explain it well enough that you ‘get it’. You have to understand that back then, a million things that are now firmly planted and rooted in our culture hadn’t happened yet-
No Biggie. No Tupac.
Nothing even remotely resembling an Eminem.
No Rock Steady Crew. No Kid Capri. No Def Comedy Jam.
No Outkast. No DJ Screw. No Three Six Mafia.
No Dipset. No Rhymesayers. No WuTang. No NWA.
None of it.
Imagine for a second that all you want to do is be Bruce Lee. Or save up enough money for a skateboard or some other semblance of identity or individuality. Then you walk by the park and see some young cat, not too much older than you, moving like a fucking robot. Better than a robot. And these big ass house speakers were drug to the park in the back of someone’s Suzuki so that the dude in the neighborhood with the dopest record and break beat collection could come down and spin and receive accolades for doing so. Over time, those accolades started to reach way past the block in which they originated. Enter The DJ-
House party flyers were probably the first tangible collectable item that was Hip Hop related. After that it was the MixTape. In the beginning, no two MixTapes were the same. You may get a dubbed tape from your boy or snatch a copy from the bootleg tables on the corner if they had their business together like that. But, for the most part, these were put together by the end user of the product itself: The Consumer. Some business savvy DJs of that time realized quick that the biggest money having mufukas they knew in real life were the drug dealers in the neighborhood. They would pay certain DJs to customize a MixTape for them that featured the bangers of that week/month/year but also the DJ shouting out the dealer that paid for the tape. Fixated on notoriety, it wouldn’t take long for money motivated individuals to position themselves beside the artists, producers and DJs of the time and, in the absence of a label, become boutique indie labels in their own right. These illicit proceeds would do more to perpetuate Hip Hop in its infancy than any corporate dollar. But these influxes would call enough attention to the culture that before we knew it, everyone from McDonald’s to the Chicago Bears would look to this new phenomenon to stay relevant.
Fast forward to the 90’s and Hip Hop was fully infused and rejuvenated with the hustler spirit. Artists like Too Short and E-40 proved that real money could be made in Hip Hop with the farm-to-table approach. It made an artist say, ‘If I create a product that is custom-fitted to my consumer, who better than I to deliver that product?’. Cutting out the middle man, artists themselves paid for and oversaw the production process, organized album art and duplication and released the product directly the streets. Selling albums literally out of the trunks of their cars as well as fostering relationships with independent record store owners who also benefited from blocking the labels out. They themselves knowing full well what it means to be force-fed label-curated top tens and other pop bullshit.
Vinyl record collections, cassette tape collections, books full of Compact Disks and in some cases DVDs with music-related documentary content. These things slowly grew as we aged and found ourselves. Even to look around at all of the items we had procured gave us a sense of who we were. The room that housed our music was like a glimpse into our soul. A snapshot with a million words and stories and moments behind it.
Now we have our phone. That’s it.
See how the words just dropped all lonely out of the paragraph like that?
It’s a sad state of affairs.
But there is hope
Billboard (Really? After all that, his source is fucking Billboard?) has reported that the sales of vinyl records has increased for 17 straight years. 43.46 million vinyl albums were sold in 2022. That’s 43% of all album sales the year over. Social media and streaming services are slowly but surely losing their grip and once again being relegated to novelty convenience applications. The curtain has been pulled back to reveal that Jay-Z’s famous line ‘Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t’ has not aged well. Saweetie has been kind enough to serve as case-in-point. The ‘rapper’ who, at the time of this writing, has an Instagram following of 12.9 million was recently roasted in the press when she dropped an EP that only sold 2,000 copies.
What In The Actual F*ck?
It that doesn’t prove to you that it doesn’t matter, you’re a lost cause and my advice to you would be to never step foot in the entertainment industry. However, if you too are bothered by this correlation (or lack there of), please read on.
We have now come full circle. Movements that preach the need to cleanse the artistic mind of the preoccupation with social media are quickly gaining popularity. Reverting back to the era when guerrilla marketing was King. The concept of a street team blanketing a city with your stickers, posters and flyers and all of the supporters and connections made while doing so is making its way back into the fold. Word of mouth advertising will never be replaced, though social media has brought us close. That may be the why the current pendulum swing is so dramatic. People are simply sick and tired of scrolling to find the meaning of life. The fact that the term ’social media cleanse’ is a thing (and has been for some time) denotes that it is dangerously pervasive. With the recent popularity and ease-of-use offered by AI, one’s first instinct would be to say to themselves, ‘Wait, that means anyone can do it’. With the all-too obvious downside being: Anyone can do it. The day Canva dropped their Magic Write AI option for document edits, i ran across at least 30 videos in which the quintessential content creator was explaining to me how this would be a game-changer in a way we could never fathom and that now, more than ever, I need to start taking my content making seriously by letting computers do all the work for me. The same work they are doing for everyone else. Except, somehow it’s supposed to be different and unique. But that’s the part they leave out. How can I be unique and on some never-before-seen shit if I’m doing precisely what everyone else is doing? Another heartbreaker for the AI buffs? Google has already put in place AI detecting technology that will automatically initiate their own form of shadow-ban on all of your SEO if they find or suspect that AI has been used to create it. But don’t fret. When you wake up tomorrow, there will a million other content creators dropping videos instructing you on how to skirt AI detection software. Do you see where I’m going with this? Is your motivation to create a commodity that is appreciated by your core audience? Or have your career goals transitioned from that to a computer hacker that minors in internet marketing?
More than ever, people crave connection with an artist, regardless of the media. Audio, video or conceptual, they want YOU.
Many artists are adjusting their focus back to website presentation. With the ease in which an artist can create their own e-commerce website through companies like Squarespace, complete with comment sections, like counts and whatever bell or whistle is commonly used to satiate the viewer.
Point is, we can do it too. We can do it better.
An artist can release a project to their own site and utilize the ‘Proud To Pay’ option where the consumer can pay as much or as little as they’d like for the download. Merchandise or other gated content can be sold right along with it. You can literally build your support system 1 fan at a time. That connection will also endear much longer than the ones garnered my viral Tik Tok or Instagram Reels. That being said, we aren’t idiots. Social Media should still receive updates from those whose main focus is there website community. The website is headquarters. There should always be more content, options, action and opportunity on your website than what is offered on social. Social should be utilized for the sole purpose of drawing traffic to YOUR PLATFORM. Say it: I Am The Platform.
I’m not telling you to delete your Instagram, FaceBook or Tik Tok.
But you should delete them from your phone.
Tim Ferris wrote The 4-Hour Work Week in 2007. In it, he laid a strategy for being less busy and more productive. Interestingly enough, this book was written the year the first iPhone dropped. But already our society was looking for anything to get them away from the rat race. The desire to always be available. A slave to what was then your BlackBerry. The need to check and reply to emails within minutes of reception. MySpace was the only social media platform to speak of at the time and even then, folks took it too far. The book spoke about setting time aside weekly to check and reply to emails. Another to check and respond to social media. The bulk remaining for actual work and whatever interaction that work required. You can set aside as little as one day a week to share all the clips of your content, respond to comments and DM’s and interact with folks you regularly interact with. What you’ll find in doing so is that your hyper focus on social media was for naught. And no one missed you while you were gone. And all that time you used to spend scrolling can be spent creating content for your website and making your community as inviting and comfortable as possible. Through email and text lists, the integrations on your own website can forward content directly to everyone who gives a fuck immediately. Stop posting content to social media FIRST hoping that whatever platform you’re on is in a good enough mood to show it to 4% of the people who actually follow you in hopes of seeing it. Ask yourself what your goal is. Do you want 1 million supporters for a year? Or 10,000 for 20 years? If you can get those 10k to spend $10 a year, you’ll never work again. Are you listening?
This entire essay was designed using no AI. It was however concocted to persuade you. Just like everything else you’ll listen to or read today. The difference? I implore you to stop listening to the noise. Even if I myself become a distraction to you, It warms my heart to know you’ll never listen again. Go. Be the most amplified version of yourself and don’t stop until you’ve pissed a lot of people off. Only then will you have created anything worth fussing over in the first place. When that happens, the world outside of that computer in your pocket will open up in ways that will make you want to leave it there. Do not waste another second looking to the next man for direction or inspiration. Get YOU out first. Fortunately, I’m not going to push you towards any apps or sites that will simplify your process. That alone will simplify your process. You’re welcome.

Well it's done, took me awhile as I was finishing the outline(I'm stupid that I didn't finish it first, was a bit excited too write this idea to you all)
And also I have to mention a fanfic called Smoke and mirror as the guy mentioned my fanfic I might aswell mention another fanfic crossover about statsector that is being created at the same time. Quite a coincidence.
Well anyway feedback is always appreciated as I'm quite new to this writing thing.

Memory Transcript Subject: Cenci, The Great Explorer of the Forest
Date: [standard human time] September 27, 2136
As the gentle water brushed against my legs, I gradually regained consciousness, like waking up from a good rest during a school day but wanting to sleep some more. Suddenly, a warm, coarse sensation hit me, like hot sand scattering across my fur.
Opening my eyes, I was greeted by a sight both mesmerizing and heart-wrenching: the Wirtwood forest across the river was ablaze in vibrant hues of orange and red, its towering trees engulfed in flames that danced and flickered in the night sky. It reminded me of an ancient painting I once saw, capturing the fiery beauty of the northern hemisphere's forests.
Tears welled in my eyes as I lay on the muddy ground, the distant crackling of fire and the gentle flow of the river forming a haunting melody in the background. I stayed there what felt like hours, but it was propobly only a few minutes, I wanted to cry but I forced myself to rise, holding it in, I turn away unable to bear witness to the devastation unfolding before me.
Wiping my eyes with my left mud-covered arm, a sharp pain shot through it as my face touched the area. I quickly foundy arm is bruised but is relieved to find it wasn't an open wound, I took a moment to soothe the spot.
After soothing the pain, I surveyed my surroundings. I spotted the brightened, darkened greens of the forest mingling with the fiery glow of the inferno. A towering river wall had swaying shadows, and nearby, a slope cuts through the river wall like a deep scar. But my attention was drawn to the riverbank, where many beached trees lay lifeless and rotting on the muddy shore. On the ground was the unmistakable sight of the white, fire-resistant exterminator suit—Big Brother—laying among the wooded debris. Rushing to my brother's side, I found him lying on his side, his suit torn and damaged.
With difficulty, I removed his backpack from its strap and carefully dragged him onto the drier ground near the river wall, mud clinging to his suit as I dragged him there. After ensuring his comfort, I scrounged through the backpack for something to drink as I felt a bit parched. I found the bag dry inside, probably just waterproof—nothing too surprising as exterminators usually use this brand of bag for long expeditions. After finding a bottle, I took a swig of water, put the bottle back, and leaned the backpack against Kalip before climbing up the slope and venturing out into the darkened forest in search of shelter and aid.
Navigating through the dimly lit trees, I soon came across a rusty fence with gaping holes, a sign of neglect and decay. Finding an entrance large enough for me to pass through, I ventured deeper into the forest, guided by the faint glow of the moon above as the flames cant pierce through the forest.
I can't stop worrying about Big Brother as I walk. Will he be almighty? I didn't look properly. Why didn't I look properly? I stop myself from thinking about Kalip by looking around the forest as I walk, naming every tree and plant. Oh, is that palicintino? Oh, that's rare. Oh, is that...
I walk through the forest, trying to remember the names of plants and animals on the trees. I wish I had my book on animals and nature. It's probably burnt and turned to ash, all its knowledge, my knowledge, all gone. Now I've made myself sad by remembering my book diary.
I eventually emerge from the forest, wiping some tears from my eyes, and see something quite disappointing, yet also, I hope, my salvation: an open-pit mine. Its effect on the surrounding environment makes my heart wrench, but thankfully it has only been in operation for [6 years], so its destruction has not been widespread. I can still see trees within the fenced-in parameters that the company has created, and even from the top of the big hill, there are still some trees standing defiantly. The company calls itself "The Mud Diggers," if I remember correctly. It's mainly a mining company, sometimes doing burrow construction.
I walked to the edge, looked around, and saw abandoned, enormous vehicles that carried unrefined dirt containing tiny ores, probably titanium, as their netsite says. These ores could be harvested and made into usable materials. I noticed one wrecked and destroyed vehicle at the bottom of the mine, near a large stack of industrial boxes and some inactive floodlights. The floodlights seemed to be pointing at a metallic dome in the middle of the mine.
Wait, is that a white metallic dome? I had to rub my eyes to see if I'm imagining things, but lo and behold, the metallic dome is still there—ancient and majestic, well, I think it is, but there seems to be no rust on it from what I can see. It has some blue discoloration in some spots. Are those rust? No, it's more like some kind of scars. High temperature? Did it crash from space? It also is not reflecting the moonlight as I would expect. I'm surprised I didn't notice it before because it's the most conspicuous thing in the mine, even more so than the abandoned mining vehicles.
The metallic dome is has some big blacked windows like its burnt to a crisps, some are cracked, some are broken showing it's inside but I can't see much from where I am at this distance.
There are many boxes and tents near the big dome, and some kind of trailer that has many solar panels and antenna, probably a mobile research station.
I look elsewhere, like at the other side of the mine. There is a building that has a large refinery outside of it. That refinery would refine the titanium the mine harvest, which is then transported to the city of Flatville on the plain east of here, where it's then mixed with chromium and,or vanadium for use in ships' hulls or armor and engines, respectively.
I shake my head and laugh at myself for remembering such things from lessons in school. Well, I've always been a curious prey, trying and learning everything at least once, even if my brother would scold me for it as it was "un-prey-like" behavior. Bah! I would usually ignore his chastisements and advice on that kind of topic.
I compose myself by rubbing my face. I look around some more for something to put a roof over our heads. I turn my gaze to the left and see a tall metal tower with a trailer right beside it. It is quite close, so I feel like I made an idiot of myself for not finding it before the metallic bluish dome below the mine.
Although it is quite more intriguing than something that could put a roof over my head tonight.
I walk toward the trailer, dismissing the signal tower looming over it. In front of it is a tent with some metal industrial boxes like the one's near the white dome. I look inside one, but its contents seem to be missing. There is also a plastic table with plastic chairs, some toppled over, and there are half-empty alcohol bottles strewn across it and on the ground. I guess they were in a hurry or just had a party, or both. As water starts sprinkling the ground and hitting my spiky head, I look up and see dark clouds encroaching on the bright moon. I hurriedly run to the trailer, pull open the door, and enter it, taking refuge from the impending rainstorm.
Inside, there was a messy room with many boxes sprawled around. I guess this is the stuff the boxes have. The dark room was only lit up by the moonlight shining through the windows, though it was getting dimmer and dimmer. There was a lot of equipment I couldn't identify in such darkness. Luckily for me, an open box was right in front of me, highlighted by the moonlight from the window-door. Inside were some industrial flashlights. I picked one up and turned it on, lighting up a portion of the room and revealing some things I couldn't see before.
Like the many communication equipments and consoles, and would be beeping and booking if the power is on.
There was something else that also piqued my interest: a door with a bed symbol on it, unlike the others, on the other side of the room. There was also a standard industrial light switch right next to it instead of the more common touch-sensitive switches—quite low-tech but reliable and simple. I approached it and tried to flick it upward, hoping it would turn the lights on, but sadly it didn't. So I flicked it back to its original position and opened the door.
It leads to a dark room with a single window. I flooded the room with light, revealing a bare-bones barrack with four beds, each with its own footlocker. Nothing personal can be seen anywhere, and it is quite clean—quite the opposite of the room behind me. I noticed another light switch right beside me and tried to turn it on, but like the light switch behind it, it did not turn on the light in the barrack as expected.
I wanted to look around some more, but as the moonlight disappeared and the droplets hit the window pane, I remembered that I had left Big Brother outside where a rainstorm was brewing. I scrambled out of the trailer, the rain becoming stronger with each step, which made me run faster toward the river where Kalip lay unconscious. Using the flashlight to guide me through the dark forest where the forest canopy blocked most of the falling droplets, I retraced my steps, but I had to rest when I reached the fence, calming my burning lungs and pounding heart. A gojid is not made for running fast or long those are predatory traits, or so my teachers told me. After a short rest, I continued jogging the rest of the way and reached the river but got lost for a bit as the slope was not where I expected it to be. I quickly found it, though. The rain was now pouring its even more powerful torrent down on me, hitting my spines like tiny pebbles.
As I walk toward the slope, I see the rain dousing the raging flames of the forest fire from the other side of the river, extinguishing the flames and making the area look like a wasteland—a wet, black, desolate wasteland.
I reached the slope and pointed the flashlight down it, where rainwater was running down and turning it muddy and slippery. I carefully climbed down slowly and, thankfully, I was able to descend the slope without any problems. Going back up would be a problem, though, but I'll ignore that for now. I need to find Kalip.
I quickly found Kalip where I left him but he is awake, sitting and hugging the backpack while the rain made him wet, and its droplets seeping through his exterminator suit.
Slowly approach him, pointing the flashlight away from him so as not to startle him. However, he didn't even see or notice me as I got closer, even when I knelt beside him with the flashlight shining in his field of vision.
I tried to tap his shoulder to get his attention, and my movement this close to him seemed to make him notice me. A gasp came from his mouth as he looked at me as if he were seeing a ghost. His spikes bristled in fear, and his face showed loss and disbelief, but joy came afterward. In an instant, he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me and not caring about the possibility that he would injure himself on my spikes.
The rain poured down, hitting us. No sound came from either of us. It was silent except for the pitter-patter of droplets splashing on the muddy ground.
I just sat there, surprised and immobile, my paw up, the flashlight pointing up, held by Kalip's strong and firm arms. His body was shivering. I didn't know what to do in this situation. I had never seen him like this. I would always be the first to hug him when something bad happened, not the other way around.
His hug became tighter and tighter, before he let go of me as fast as he hugged me, he look at me and touch my rain soaked cheeks and rubbing it affectionately.
"Im glad y-your alright" he said, his voice wavering but firm, his body shivered from the cold, his green eyes lock into my abnormal ones, his ears dropping a bit.
"I-I'm... I'm alright, brother, but we need to get out of the rain now. You're cold. I found somewhere with a roof over our heads," I said, conveying that I didn't want to smell like a wet Gojid with my ears. I stood up and extended my arm to pick him off the dirty ground.
"Good, because I feel pain everywhere" he said, regaining some of himself as he grins a bit. Even though his tiredness, he grabbed my paws, which I pulled him up after, he stood up though a bit wobbly.
"Give me the backpack, Big Brother. You can't walk properly with such a burden, especially with your injuries," I said, extending my paw as he tried to balance himself.
He was going to say something before grunting in reply as he balanced himself. Then, without much fuss, he willingly gave me the backpack, which I grabbed.
I tried to help Kalip walk, but he waved me off and used his ears to say, "Lead the way." I was a bit worried about his ability to walk properly, even with the backpack on my paws, "You sure, brother?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm sure now. Lead me to where we'll find shelter," he said, waving me off again. Despite the pain he was enduring, he started to walk to the slope.
"It's in the mine that harvests titanium. There's a trailer near where I entered it," I shouted as I caught up to my limping brother, who had stopped at the base of the slope.
"The titanium mine?" he said as he waited for me.
"Yes, the mine that Aunty hates," I said as I caught up with him.
"Ah, that mine, I saw it before the..." He fell silent and still, his face showing pain, sorrow, anguish, and misery in a single moment. But he shook his head; his eyes showed determination replacing the previous emotions, he looks back at me nodding his head and went to climb the slippery slope as if he is not injured.
Just now, knowing how much pain his heart is in right now from losing so much after the devastation, I made sure he didn’t fall and roll down the slope, as that’s all I can do at this moment.
Even with the flashlight’s light, I slipped multiple times before we reached the top. We entered the forest, where its dense canopy gave us some reprieve from the rain.
He rested his shoulders against a tree, rubbing his left shoulder as he looked around the dark forest. I suppose that burst of energy tired him out. He looked at me with worry, likely wondering if there were night-stalking predators prowling about. I saw an opportunity to raise my brother's spirits, albeit at his expense.
"There is no predator at this season brother, the big ones that want to eat us that is, as the greatest explorer and discoverer of the forest, I should know" I proclaimed with pride, pointing the flashlight into the forest, and sweeping it around, to prove my point.
He rolled his eyes with irritation at my proclamation but had a slight smile. I guess that works. Good job, me, for being a bit of a narcissist, but he was still worried as his spikes bristled as he looked around for anything out of the ordinary.
"There are still probably predators stalking around, even if they are small. Cenci or not, we still must be careful; they eat meat." He said as he unclipped his holster and took out his modified laser pistol with his right paw.
I just rolled my eyes at his cautious behavior and walked deeper into the forest. I looked behind me and saw Kalip walking, his left arm hanging in the air, while being alert and ready to shoot any poor thing that would come out of the many bushes near our path.
Thankfully, nothing happened when we reached the rusting chain-link fence, which I entered through the hole I exited, but Kalip had to duck through.
"Is your left arm okay, brother?" I ask with concern.
"It's fine, Cenci. It's just painful to move too much," he replied without much worry. It probably wasn't the first time he'd broken one of his arms, as one time he'd come home immobile for a month after an intense cleanup expedition on the other side of the planet.
we walk a bit more and finally reached the open-pit mine where the forest opens up.
I tugged on his right shoulder and pointed to the trailer with the blinking tower. "There's the trailer!"
We dashed toward the trailer. As we entered the open, the rain hit us again. Its door was still wide open when I burst out of it. We entered the trailer, safe from the rain and cold. Kalip was the last one to enter, and he slammed the door shut behind us.
Kalip sat down with his back to the door, resting himself from the short sprint. A sudden light came from the windows, lighting up the entire trailer. I quickly covered my ears with my paws, barely muffling the boom that soon reached my covered ears. But big brother wasn't fast enough and got startled, and the most unexpected, cutest yelp came from his mouth.
I just looked at him before I had to cover my mouth, suppressing the laughter that was ready to burst out at any moment. He glared at me and pointed his claw, but his mouth formed a smirk. I guess he found it funny that he made that unexpected noise too.
"Don't laugh at me," he said with irritation as he stood up. "I'm tired, wet, and in pain."
He explored the comm room. A wet, squelching sound is heard with each step he took as he made a trail of water because of the damaged exterminator suit sagging some of the cardboard boxes. He stood over a nearby inactive comm console and tinkered with it.
I calmed myself by rubbing my cheeks and steadied my breathing. Composed and no longer on the verge of laughing my tail off, I picked up another flashlight where I had found the first one, inspected it to see if it had a battery, which it did, and approached Kalip with a fully charged flashlight.
I placed the flashlight on the console he was inspecting. He thanked me before asking if there was anywhere for him to lie down, as his injuries were causing him pain. I directed him to the barracks, telling him to rest but not to sleep, as I was going to find something to treat his wounds. With a roll of his eyes and a flick of his ear in agreement, I handed him the backpack before he walked off and disappeared into the other room. His limp seemed to have lessened in effect from his walking.
With him in the barracks, I explored the other two rooms. One was a bathroom where the operators would usually clean themselves or relieve themselves. It had everything a bathroom would have: a toilet, a sink with a mirror, and a shower. However, there was a compartment on the wall that would usually contain a medical kit. This meant there should be one in one of the many boxes on the floor.
The other room was probably going to be used for storage, as there were many shelves for containers and boxes to be placed on. However, it is empty except for the shelves themselves, a mop, and a mobile bucket.
I return to the comms room, closing the door behind me. I look around the room once more, looking at boxes for labels or markings that say they contain some kind of medical supplies. After a while, I find a pile of boxes with the iconic green paw symbol introduced by the medically inclined Zerulians when they entered the Federation, a symbol of health and healing. I cut the tape that holds the top cover of the cardboard box with my claw. As the symbol suggested, there are many pill bottles, most of them painkillers. I open and eat one, putting the opened one aside for Kalip. I set the box aside and open the other one beneath it.
This one has what I was looking for: gauze and bandages. I inspected one of the gauze pads and decided they were what I was looking for. I returned the gauze and put the painkiller in it. I took the entire box and walked toward the barrack room where Kalips is. I nearly tripped on another cardboard box in the middle of the floor but was able to steady myself. I threw a few silent curses at it before continuing on.
I entered the barracks and saw Kalip, out of his exterminator suit, standing near the window. His eyes were closed, his laser pistol was disassembled and sprawled over the windowsill, his flashlight was extinguished, and his body was still. Rain and thunder flashed in the distance. His paws were on his chest, and he was praying, though his left paw was shaking, likely from the pain. I was a bit worried and angry because he wasn't resting as I had told him to, more worried than angry. I put the box down on a nearby bed where the backpack was also lying and silently snuck toward him.
I turned the flashlight off so as not to disturb him as I got closer until I was at a sufficient distance, and I waited patiently.
He finished his prayer, whispering his last words before looking out the window, to which I pounced by saying what I wanted to say. "Didn't I tell you to rest?"
He flinched as his spikes bristled before he turned around slowly, like someone caught eating the last strayu at night.
"Why are you just standing there and not resting as I told you to?" I repeated, my ear flicking with irritation.
"I was praying, Cenci, so don't scare me like that. Those are predatory traits," he replied quickly, calming himself by rubbing his ears.
I just sighed before motioning for him to follow, to which he obliged, still rubbing his ears.
I sat down on the bed where I had put the box full of bandages. Its soft sheets bent to my weight. I’m eating too much of the mushroom strauyu.
Opening the box, I took out the bottle of painkillers and offered it to Kalip. "What is it?" he asked as he took the bottle from me and inspected it. "Painkillers for the pain you're currently feeling."
He popped it open and took a bit more than I would recommend, but remember how tall he is. He thanked me before he sat down, waiting for the drug to take effect and soothing his shoulder.
At this distance, I can now see the full extent of his injuries outside his exterminator suit. Thankfully, it's not as bad as I thought, although there are still many small cuts, bumps, and bruises all over his body, his left arm having the most of them. "Can I see your arm, Brother?"
He gave me his clotting, injured arm without a word. He was silent as I looked for a way to bandage it properly, trusting me as I had done it before. I looked him over; his left arm seemed to have taken the brunt of the damage when we fell into the raging river. All seemed okay, meaning he would be fine, but I had to sling his left arm if I found something to sling it with until his wounds fully healed.
I took out a water bottle from the backpack and poured its contents onto his wounds. He hissed in pain, and I smirked. "Painful?"
He suddenly and temporarily stopped feeling the pain and gave me the most deadpan stare I have ever seen from him. "Of course it is, Cenci, why wouldn't it be?!?"
"Just asking," I said with mirth. I then used a bandage as a rag to rub the dirt, grime, and mud off his arm.
"It's a shame there's no ice here or even a freezer," I said as I started to bandage his arm without constricting it too much.
"Yeah what an absolute shame" he said with a bit of a sarcastic tone.
He returns to stare silently as I work as I shush him. I look into his eyes, which he didn't notice, which have this unfocused look on them, like he is thinking hard with a hint of being lost, usually about bad stuff. I don't know what he's thinking, and that worries me, especially after what happened on that riverbed. He can't stop me from questioning him about it.
As I finished bandaging him, I tightened it hard, making him yelp—now with a sound that I would expect from an exterminator.
"Why in the holy Cradle did you do this, Cenci?" he shouted as he frantically tried to loosen the knot in the bandage I'd made.
I slap his paw as it tries to untie my knot, and I loosen it myself. He glares angrily and tries to shout again, but I talk over him. "Are you alright, Big Brother?"
He was taken aback by my question "wha-what yes I'm alright. but what in the predators fang on my neck did you do that?" He said shimmering his anger.
"Your doing the THAT stare again and it's quite bad this time" I said putting a point on that, as I remembered the first time he had that stare, the time he got that long scar from his left eye to his right cheeks.
He was a bit speechless that I notice the unnoticeable, he scratch his face scar and whispered "I'm doing it again."
I waited as he reoriented himself, worried.
"I'm fine, Cenci. I'm just thinking about how we could get out of this somehow," he said, whispering the last bit. I highly doubt that's what he's thinking.
"Brother, what is actually going on in that mind of yours? I can't ignore what happened on the riverbed," I said, my eyes fixed on his.
He wavered, thinking of a retort, but relinquished what his true feelings were right now, he held and gripped my paw, closing his eyes "I- I'm just glad that your alright, I don't want to lose what is truly important to me"
It was silent in the room except for the droplets hitting the windowpane. I smiled and hugged him, careful not to pierce myself on his spines. It would usually be a shouting match for him to say what was on his mind, so he didn’t truly reveal all of it, but he did at least unburden himself somewhat. And he needed a hug—a hug from his sister.
He hug back this time not piercing himself on my spikes, "Thanks Cenci I needed that"
We exit out of our embrace feeling a bit better, "what do we do now? You said you have a plan."
"No, I was just making excuses. Do you have one?" he said, a bit embarrassed, his face a bit blue. Oh, is he blushing? That's rare. I would have taken a photo if I had my padlet.
I shake my head as I was not focusing on what he said, getting a weird look from Kalip, I think a bit on what he said, tilting my head side to side, either we could exit the mine first thing by daylight or explore the weird dome down in the mine, now I know where my minds is going, but I need to make an excuse for Kalip. There was many industrial boxes that could contain supplies and food, and the weird mobile lab.
With a plan and an excuse to convince Kalip to go on with the plan, I told Kalip about it, telling him the vast amount of food and supplies we could find from those unopened boxes.
"Hmm, I was thinking of leaving the mine, but your plan is quite sound. However, I know you're leaving something out of it. What is it?" he said, suspicious of my true intentions. Well, he caught me. I might as well tell him now rather than later.
"Well... I want to explore the dome," I said, fidgeting a bit. Kalip had this unsurprised look on his face, as if he had been expecting me to want to explore every nook and cranny of the mine to discover its secrets. Well, he was mistaken. I only explore old mines that have been built since before I was born.
He sighed and stood up. I was afraid he would not let me go near it. "Where is this thing?"
That caught me off guard, removing me from my thoughts. "Y-you mean the dome?" He nods. "Oh, at the bottom of the mine."
He stood there, thinking, I suppose, for a while before he spoke to me again. "Very well, then. We'll go explore it tomorrow, after we scavenge whats on those box you told me."
That made me shiver with excitement. Before I could shout with joy, he tempered my excitement by telling me to go to sleep. I countered that he should also go to sleep, but he said he wanted to clean his pistol before going to bed. He went to the windowsill, carefully taking the disassembled parts to the nearby bed, and started cleaning it with a rag probably torn from the bedsheets.
While he does that, I prepare my bed for sleep. The bed is rectangular, as is standard for the Federation so all species can sleep in it comfortably. However, the Gojids and Farsuls have circular beds because they like to curl themselves up. So, it took me a while to get comfortable enough to close my eyes and fall asleep. I am excited about the interesting dome, even if the world is falling apart. At least I have my brother; he will protect me. But I'll have to make sure he doesn't go crazy from the madness those murderous lizards created...

Hello progrockmusic users!
Recently, there have been some minor alterations to the existing subreddit rules, and this post has been made to notify users of what has changed.
Two major rules have been added or overhauled, starting with Rule #4:

No memes or low effort posts allowed, in any form.
This includes the following, and any links to them:

• Memes and shitposts
  
• A.I.-generated media (e.g. art, music)
  
• Tier lists
  
• Topster charts
  

In addition, the following discussion (text-post) prompts have been banned:

• "Is (band) progressive rock?"

While most of these media types are blocked under the existing Rule 3, they may still be theoretically shared as self-posts, and specifying what types of content is explicitly forbidden is useful clarification. In general, "low-effort posts" are deemed to be those that produce minimal discussion or are highly repetitive.
We have now begun to ban specific discussion prompts if we feel they are stale, unproductive, and provoke repetitive, unpleasant discourse. The current topic of concern is debate threads regarding the status of specific bands as being progressive rock (i.e. "Is Pink Floyd a prog rock band?" and variations thereof). Since the topic itself is generally unproductive and has worn out its welcome, posts on that subject line are no longer welcome here.
An additional rule (Rule #10) has been implemented to bring more context to recent moderator actions:

Stay on topic. Avoid lengthy off-topic discussion, especially surrounding sensitive and controversial subject matter (i.e. politics) unrelated to music. Posts may be subject to removal if the post is not relevant to discussion of progressive rock.

This is a music subreddit, and not a good place for political discourse or soliciting medical advice. It is expected that shared content and discussion here is related to progressive rock in some way, and posts or comment chains that are not relevant or topical will be removed (this also means that posts in the vein of "progrockmusic users, what car do you drive?" are not allowed).
If you are unsure whether a specific artist or song is considered to be prog-related, outside databases (i.e. ProgArchives, Discogs, RateYourMusic) may be useful in providing some consensus as to what genres and music scenes they are usually labelled under.
You may also see minor edits to rule descriptions on the sidebar and in removal reasons in order to further specify why a post was removed and recommended steps to take when posting again. The rules themselves (and the criteria for removal) have not changed.
Outside of the topic of rules, there has been a minor bug fix involving flair previews when posting here on old Reddit. While old Reddit users make up a minority of current progrockmusic views, we would like the user experience there to remain smooth, and we are also painfully aware that the subreddit CSS there is rather dated. If any issues there persist, please don't hesitate to let us know.
If you have any additional questions, concerns, or recommendations for the subreddit moving forward, feel free to send us a modmail or to leave a comment below. User feedback is highly appreciated and forms a useful reference for what needs to be updated and changed.

Let your shallow lies rain,
They are nothing but drops of shit running down the drain.
Built up an entire empire on false hope,
Drew in the people's faith like rope-a-dope.
Fool me once,
fool me twice,
Come for me a third time and I am putting your nuts in a vice.
You think you're clever,
The reality is,
anyone who can answer is met by a censor.
You can't be challenged,
you can't be shamed,
Anyone who questions you winds up blamed.
So, here is a shot in your eternal dark,
A fool's hope to hit the mark.
Fuck your choices and fuck your promises,
Only the end can save us from this.
How much further can we sink?
You's bring on Armageddon if the last of us were to blink.
You can't be taught, you cannot learn,
Your soul was bought, and you will burn.
Be it in the here and now,
Or after you take death's blessed vow.
Vengeance comes on frozen wings,
As the seventh trumpet finally rings.
An epiphany,
The hero is the enemy.
The one who tied us all to the stone,
Was the one who said that he would make a stand, all alone.
This prick lit a flair in the night,
Called the damned to fight his fight.
And told them that they were heaven sent;
But, seriously, every last one of you can get bent.
The abused are left to rot,
You twist the knife with all you've got.
Are they masochists,
or are you just sadistic,
It's probably both,
let's be realistic.
They feel real in the pain,
And you feel whole when they suck your vein.
Vanity above humanity,
Calamity brought on by the insanity.
You have put yourself on a cross,
As you look upon the inflicted dross.
You justify their suffering as atonement,
The rest of us know you threw them into wet cement.
They are sinking,
and soon it will dry.
What were they thinking,
Letting you choose how they die?
A mortal deity,
Created and blessed by a fractured society.
You made this side of me.
It was no accident,
you needed an enemy,
And so,
you tortured and destroyed identity.
You created a Pagan,
To justify whipping him again.
You stoked the rage,
and it is up to us to turn the page.
Down with the cage,
bring on the new age.
Anyone who supports you will meet the end they make,
Hollow masks are so easy to shatter and break.
Maybe then,
they will see that your angelic face was fake.
One shot's to stymie the blood money,
two's to stop your show.
Three is for the things you made sure that we would never know.
Fucker,
call it treason.
All empires fall for a reason.
When you don't represent the people,
It is time for them to torch your steeple.
And you aren't exempt from the stake,
The torch or the rake.
Come one,
come all,
Witness his fall.
And yet,
they still try to excuse your actions,
Their ignorance leaks through their shocked reactions.
How blind,
To not realize that his equal treament meant leaving everyone else behind.
To be a saint,
there was a cost,
You abandoned all of us;
and left us to rust.
You had to create a line and sinker,
For each and every free thinker.
You had to put individuals under a brush,
And voices had to hush.
For that, the shadows reach,
The fallen have heard what you preach.
They come for you, even as you climb,
Their whispers will haunt your every word and rhyme.
And someday,
you will see,
Your lack of concience is the only difference between you and me.

Yet another new Dr being seen, to have any hope or new insight into fibro. Once again feels like a non starter. Says he only believes in FDA approved meds & gabapentin. He is even skeptical on LDN.
When I tell him there are dozens of other medications & therapies that people online support groups & forums mention that may help, he immediately just said "I'm not giving opioids!". I'm like wtf? I didn't even mention painkillers. Nor would I ask for them, it's not a longterm solution.
It's insanely frustrating that every single Dr (12 so far), act like I'm shopping for painkillers or treating me like a druggie if I inquire about any other treatment option. I ask if we can go over things listed or praised by others online, but they refuse.
If I dare even mention things like Flexeril or muscle relaxers they legit treat me like I'm asking for heroin. Roll their eyes if I ask about their thoughts on ketamine therapy. Or acting like Cymbalta is the only anti-depressant that they will try for fibromyalgia.
When I beg for as many tests as humanly possible for fibro or other conditions, they said anything outside a standard CBC panel is "inconclusive". Asked if they can 100% verify it's not Lupus instead of Fibro, and this Dr said "it only happens to women". It's actual insanity how many Drs have stated this. I tell them men are notorious for being stubborn, & more reluctant to seek for medical attention, so it is simply under reported.
I'm just insanely frustrated. I live in southern California, and have visited dozen+ doctors between LA to San Diego. I feel non of them are open to new emerging evidence. Or "inconclusive" autoimmune test, etc. And some have this stupid stereotype that most of these conditions only happen to women.
Do I just keep going to every rheumatologist and neurologist within 200 mile radius. Am I allowed to see any Dr in America virtually if someone has a recommendation? I don't know what to do.
I see so many on these forums talking about all these extra tests & other non-FDA approved medications, and I am jealous & don't understand why any Dr I see won't oblige. Why not do every test possible? Why exclude certain ailments or tests because of gender? Why ignore dozens of off label medications?
I have brain fog, extreme fatigue/exhaustion, dizziness, memory loss, tremors, chills, temperature intolerance, extreme pain, insomnia, TMJ, IBS, etc. etc. Does any Dr think gabapentin by itself it most optimal? C'mon.

The realization that having the final word may have been bitter-sweet had begun to dawn on Solon, as he sat on a low brick wall near a well at the center of the market. Clearly, people like Vur'z and Sheela, those that spoke English, were hard to come across. On top of the language barrier, the mercenary had another issue. Money. His world or this one, coins were words everyone knew. And he had none of those either.
He tried to hire a guide or ask for directions out of the desert, but the mouths of the villagers were as dry as his pockets. Roaming around the village, trying to avoid attention while pondering his next move, he noticed a good number of people going in and out of a small saloon styled building. The words written on the sign in front were unintelligible to Solon, but from his knowledge of this world, the chances of it being a guild or an adventurer agency of some sort were pretty high. Pushing the doors open, strolling into the main room with the stride of an Old Western gunslinger, Solon threw away any attempts of staying under the radar.
Every head turned to him, analyzing and studying the man that walked through the door, eyes lingering on his prosthetic left arm. The soldier walked over to what he had assumed was the main desk, and before he could even open his mouth to speak, the beastfolk woman on the other side interrupted him.
"Igilin! Abatu, pa'ta marez lof." She spoke, he ears perking up and her tail moving around welcomingly. She was a jackal like creature, from what Solon could tell and her hyper behavior confirmed that.
Her voice was high pitched, assaulting the man’s ears with a relentless slew of words he could not understand. The speed of her talk took him down memory lane, reminding him of a toy phone he had a kid, one that made random noises when he'd press a button or say "I love you" at 10 times the speed.
The guild woman kept on talking, now pulling out charts and several guide books, pointing her clawed finger and flipping pages. Solon exhaled loudly, before giving her the thumbs up with his good hand and turning to leave, when something caught his eye. A bullet board on the other side of the room, covered all over with countless quest requests and offers. One paper stood out from the bunch. A large drawing of a beastfolk child, along with several scribbled under which was a nice coin offer. To the mercenary, it was common knowledge that two things were universal on any world. Bounty posters and missing people posters. And this one was of the latter.
He pulled the poster off the board, looking over it once more. The offer indeed was enough to entice any man, just by the number of zeros written on the page. Solon looked up at the sky as if thanking God for the intervention. He'd seed the person on the poster before, the screaming beastfolk boy that Vur'z was transporting in his caravan. Clearly whoever the boy was taken from would pay a pretty penny to have him back. Something did bother him about the situation however. With an offer so lucrative, the was no chance the poster would be left hung for that long without anyone taking on the bounty. Vur'z sons were strong young men, but they were far from an issue when it came to a group of adventurers. That odd suspicion was further solidified by all the stares the man felt drilling into his back. The guild patrols gave him dirty looks as he rolled up the poster and stuck it under his cloak, in his back pocket and went back out on the street to find Vur'z.
Solon wandered the village until sundown, until he finally stumbled across the resting spot for trade caravans. He was hungry and quite in a sour mood, walking over to the wagons without a word. Sedef spotted him first, sending his 3 brothers to go and fetch their father while he tried to deal with the mercenary.
"Solon! Nice seeing you again so soon." Sedef said, walking over to the man.
"Where's your old man Sedef?" Solon asked, walking past the guard.
"He went to fetch supplies from the market. Shouldn't be long before he's back." The young man replied. "Would you like to wait for him here?"
The young man felt uneasy, his own inability to simply tell the mercenary to piss off didn't sit well with him. He was the best hand to hand combatant in his little village, but even with that, Sedef knew that if he were to swing at the soldier, it would end badly. So he swallowed his pride and decided on a more friendly approach.
"Yeah, if you don't mind." Solon sat down, his stomach growling with hunger.
The two men sat in awkward silence for a while, before finally Vur'z appeared around the corner. "Ah, Solon. I see Lady Sheela is not with you. What can I do you for?" Spoke the slaver.
With his mechanical arm, the soldier pulled out the poster and showed it to Vur'z. The other one seemed oddly relieved. "Oh, you're here for that? Sad to say I already handed him over."
Solon sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration. "So, where is it?"
"Come have dinner with us. If you're serious about getting the kid, you'll need some info about where he's been taken and by who first." Vur'z patted the man on the back, inviting him to the wagon.

"What's the situation?"
The elven scout turned around swiftly, almost jumping out of his own skin from fright. "My Lady." He placed his hand on his chest to calm his heartbeat. "I beg of you, do not sneak up on me that way."
General Eirlys hid a smile, before focusing her eyes towards the squad of invaders walking through the woods, setting up a defense perimeter. The Vatur kingdom has been struggling with containing the invading humans, especially when it came to portal control. Having multiple wild portal gates just outside the borders of the elven forest made it very hard to prevent humans from breaching from the other side. Countless skirmishes had broken out since the humans first captured the largest portal and make it their outposts. The Iron Fortress that blew a hole through the, now almost fully healed, Home Tree still stood tall and was heavily protected. The smaller gates were less guarded so the elves managed to take those back within a few months, as the invading murder apes seemed not too keen on dying over those strategic points.
However, it seemed that the enemy had now set their sight on the second largest gate and begun turning it into an outpost. The worked tirelessly, day and night, fending off occasional elven raid parties sent by the Vatur kingdom with ease. The motion detecting turrets proved to be the biggest issue that elves could not overcome. As soon as they would get within range, even under the cover of night, the machines would mercilessly shower them with bullets until they were gunned down.
Desperate, Princess Claudia requested the presence of the kingdoms most decorated general, Eirlys Atteris. A warrior known for her outstanding strategic prowess, merciless approach to combat and the ability to turn even the spineless of elves into soldiers worthy of serving the kingdom. Within weeks of her arrival, she managed to push the expansion of the murder ape outpost back within range of their turrets and lock them in a stalemate. That gave the elven troops enough morale boost to believe that victory was possible. However, to the general, the behavior of the enemy told a completely opposite story. The human invaders seemed too content to stay within the confines of the stalemate and not expand the outpost further, as they have been doing thus far. Even their establishing of defense perimeters seemed to be oriented around doubling, if not tripling the defenses of the already established outposts borders rather than a preparation for a counter assault.
"They seem to be doubling the defenses again. This is the third day in the row that they turn the portal on. The reinforcements coming through however aren't really numerous. If they are mounting a counter attack, they will need a lot more manpower than this, even with their equipment, to breach into the forest." The scout replied.
"Something doesn't sit right with me about this entire thing." Eirlys thought to herself.
The humans seemed to be moving around, tinkering on some stationary devices, hooking them up to the portal. Most of them that came through the gate didn't even seem like military personnel, if uniform and lack of weaponry was something to based such an opinion on.
"My Lady." A tap on the shoulder interrupted the general from her train of thought. "Permission to speak freely?"
"Go ahead."
"I am Amara Lindwysp, I served under Lord Eothen and Lady Claudia." Said the scout.
"And?" Replied the general.
"I have seen this before. The night his Majesty lost his life and her Majesty her legs." Amara continued. "These people aren't soldiers, they are..." She searched her mind for the right word. "Engineers."
"Engineers?" The other scout butted in.
"Yes. That's what the murder apes call them. They are in charge of the equipment. They were there the night the Iron Fortress breached the gate."
"The Iron Fortress..." Mumbled the general, turning her gaze back to the encampment, observing the humans work and set up various equipment. "But this gate is too small for another Iron Fortress to pass through."
"That may be so my Lady, but the devices they are setting up are designed to generate massive amounts of energy to keep the gate open for an extended period of time. I cannot be certain what they are up to, but they are priming that portal to be open for a while. Divines only know what sort of contraption they plan on ushering through it." Amara said.
The look on the scout’s face gave the general everything she needed to know about the gravity of the situation. There was not a single lie in the girl’s words. Something like this should not be dismissed.
"So, what are we to do? You've been there. Tell me." Eirlys said, catching the girl off guard.
"Oh uhm. I don't believe I am fit to advise you on what our best course of action is my Lady." The elf replied, losing her composure for a second.
"Not the time for humility or modesty Amara Lindwysp!" The general said coldly. "You've been there. You best know what went wrong with the assault on the Iron Fortress. Now, for the sake of the kingdom and your comrades, speak."
Amara took a deep breath, steeling herself. "The devices that shoot, they follow movements. Even through rain and fog. Illusion spells don't work them either. If we get in range, they will mow us down before we even can get off a single arrow."
"That I am well aware of. Tell me something that I can actually use."
"Yes, yes, my apologies. Hitting them with explosive spells from outside of their range should do the trick, as they do not appear to track any movement that isn't actual enemy troops. They do not seem to be activated by arrows that fly past them, nor birds or any other critters I've noticed move within their range." The scout continued, trying her best to remember everything she knows about the enemy.
"Devices they are setting up, they're the ones keeping the portal gate open for a long time. If we take out those, it should close before they pull whatever they plan to, through the gate. And I don't see..." She focused her eyes on the encampment, as if searching for something amidst the enemy. "...any warhounds."
"Warhounds?" Eirlys raised an eyebrow quizzically.
"Yes, my Lady. It was a one-armed, one-eyed human that ended the life of Prince Eothen that night. It had a metal left arm. Apparently, those soldiers are called war hounds and are here to exterminate the local population before the larger troops can move in."
"Gods, what a barbaric species. You'd think them demons in human skin, rather than actual humans." The other scout said in shock.
"I see. Do not omit anything scout." The general added.
"That is all I know my Lady." Amara bowed her head.
***
"So, the gladiatorial arena?" Solon asked, leaning against the wall of the wagon.
With his stomach full of food, the mood of the man improved significantly. Vur'z nodded.
"Yes. But don't think you can just whisk the kid away. The arena is situated under the village and it's a pay to enter type of deal. Steep price indeed." Explained the slaver. "And you, my friend, stick out like a sore thumb in these parts. There isn't a single human in this village, much less one with your description. Whispers are going around already, about you taking the poster and accepting the quest to find the missing kid by doing so."
The human nodded, rubbing his beard with his good hand.
"And the event orchestrator has a lot of financial influence over the adventurers that are regulars in this village. So, keep your head on a swivel else you might a dagger to the back." The old man warned.
"I see. Well, Vur'z, I'd best be heading now. I'd have for you and your sons to catch strays because of me. Just point me in the right direction and I'll be on my way." Solon got up, shook the man’s hand and dusted off his pants and cloak.
"They are at the Crooked Claw's inn. In the basement, that's where the underground arena is and also where the gladiators are being kept." Vur'z replied, shaking the human’s hand in return. "I wish you the best of luck."
As solon turned to leave, Kopak stopped him. "Here, take this. It's not much, but it'll be of use to you, I hope."
The slaver trader’s son handed an old hatchet to Solon. A simple bone handle with an obsidian blade. The mercenary accepted the gift and placed it on his belt, it would be of use more than just to rely on hand-to-hand combat and his metal arm. "Thanks kid. You boys don't give your old man too hard of a time. So long."
With that, the soldier headed down the street and disappeared out of sight once he rounded a corner.
***
The entire village seemed devoid of life once the sun went down. As the ringed moon illuminated the empty streets, Solon could not help but feel watched. He did not even try to confirm if the feeling was true, knowing that playing oblivious would give his stalker more window to slip up. Following directions given by Vur'z, he eventually found Crooked Claw's Inn. The place was crowded, mostly with adventurers and some village folk, though something about them seemed odd. A good number of them, including the barmaids, seemed to survey the surroundings at regular intervals, as if on the lookout for something.
Thanks to his left eye implant, Solon didn't have to risk getting too close to the windows or doors to see inside, choosing to instead survey from the roof of a small house across the street. The front door was out of the question. Solon waited for the crowd inside to slowly get drunk, before making his move. He snuck behind Inn, slipping inside through the back entrance. Even the vigilant adventurers and barmaids have dulled their senses with hours of alcohol and loud music, so Solon did not have to be too stealthy. As long as he was not in direct line of sight, he didn't have to worry too much. The two cooks he found in the kitchen, since that's the room that the back door lead directly towards, did not seem to care about him being there. One of them sat on the floor, seemingly exhausted, while the other struggled to finish the few remaining orders for the intoxicated, rowdy patrons in the main dining hall of the inn.
Hiding his metal arm under his cloak and his shining left eye under the hood, Solon put his best mute impression, mumbling and making incoherent speech that meant nothing, while waving his right hand in a fighting motion. The cook on the floor took some time to understand what the man was trying to say, before figuring out that the stranger was asking for the entrance to the underground arena. Not wanting to deal with whatever was wrong with the cloaked lunatic in front of them, the cooks simply pointed to the door furthest from them on the left. It was evident they weren't paid enough to care about anything besides cooking. Solon, still engrossed in his acting attempt, thanked them with more mumbling, before rushing to the door and opening it swiftly, disappearing into the hallway on the other side, before any alarm bells went off in the heads of the cooks.
Following the long, thin, barely lit hallway, the mercenary soon found himself in a large room, looking very similar to a prison cell block. The smell of filth and moisture wafted from every direction, assaulting his nostrils. He spat on the ground, so the smell does not linger in mouth, before proceeding to sneak through the almost pitch-black room. Groaning, sniffling and occasional cough would come from different cells, though the majority of them seemed empty. Four torches attempted to light up the cell room, but their fires were dimmed, at the bring of being put out. Not that the darkness was an issue for the soldier, the implant that was replacing his left eye allowed him to see just fine in the dark.
Most cells were occupied by bones and corpses, emaciated bodies that withered away from thirst or starvation. Those that still had living prisoners inside, were occupied by beastfolk. The majority of them being of adult age and in no shape to do anything. Even his presence didn't seem to elicit any reaction from them. What was done to them, he had no idea, but they had clearly given up on life.
"This explains the lack of guards in this area. Even if these guys weren't caged, they still wouldn't even try to escape." Solon thought to himself.
Sounds of cheering and yelling came from outside the room. Finding the door, the soldier peeked through the doorway. There it was, the gladiatorial arena Vur'z spoke about. A pit, lined with something akin to barber wire, with two combatants, clearly beast folk, engaged in bloody hand to hand combat against one another. The seats placed in rows all around the pin were filled to the brim. Solon could recognize a few faces in the crowd, some from market and others from the adventurer’s guild.
With each blow exchanged, the crowd cheered and shouted. Coins pouches were passed around as the spectators made bets who would win. Women, barely dressed, walked around the crowd either passing out drinks or collecting coin from the bettors. Behind the bleachers and the crowd, several more cells lined the walls. Solon crouched, moving slow and low as to not get spotted.
The entire gladiatorial arena had a simplistic designed, working the mercenary's favor. A single hallway with cells lining the walls on one side, filled with that night's combatants, and a wall up to hip height on the other side, allowing a partially obstructed view of the main arena in the center. A single source of light hung above the arena, being the single source of light, not counting a few dim torches on the hallway’s walls. The bleachers wrapped around the pit where gladiators fought. Since all fighters were beastfolk, a ceiling of heavy metal bars was placed where the top of the arena pit met the bottom of the bleachers, to prevent any attempts at escaping of the gladiators from the pit and attacking the audience.
The ring of bleachers served as a divide between the arena pit and the cell hallway. The majority of the guards were nearest to the pit and audience, allowing Solon to sneak through the hallway without much issue, as long as he kept low and quiet.
The battle that was taking place below, from what he could hear at least, was a brutal one. Most likely fought to the death or very close to it. Growling, squealing and cheering all mixed together into noise that perfectly portrayed the brutality of the event. He looked through the bars of each cell, using his eye to quickly scan the captives inside, looking for the kid from the poster. Several cells and still no luck.
"Solon. Pssst SO-LON!" Came an all too familiar voice from the right of him.
Solon snapped his head to towards the source of the voice. In one of the smaller cells stood Sheela. The mercenary snorted, stifling a laugh.
"The almighty Dune Queen. I did not know followers get recruited from inside locked cells." He whispered.
She made a sour face at his mocking statement, before flipping him the bird. Another thing with universal meaning between both worlds. "What are you doing here?" Sheela asked, as he snuck closer to the cell.
"I'm looking for that kid Vur'z was hauling. He's got a pretty decent price for his safe return." Solon replied, quietly pulling out the poster with the kids face on it.
"Oh, and here I thought you've become a do-gooder for the sanctity of your soul." The former genie commented, before pushing her hand through the bars of the cell and pointing down the hallway, in the direction Solon had come from. "The kids over there, he's been roughed up quite a bit, since he didn't want to quiet down. He's still too small for fights, so he's not going in the pit tonight."
Solon nodded, rolling up the missing poster and putting back in his pocket. He turned around to head over to the kid’s cell. "Thanks Sheela."
Before he could properly make even a step, two long arms grabbed him by the cloak and turned him around, gripping him by the collar and holding him still. "Solon, I swear to the 7 divines, if you don't get me out of this cell, I will strangle you to death with my bare hands, right now." Sheela looked down at the man’s smug expression, speaking fast in a single breath, trying to remain whispering despite the desire to obliterate the soldier on the spot. Her golden eyes shining from the darkness, if looks could kill, Solon would be in the great beyond already.
Thanks to his implant eye, the mercenary could see the vein popping on her forehead as she glared at him.
"Alright, alright. I'm just playing with you." The shit eating grin consumed even more of his face, as the smugness in his expression threatened to reach critical levels. The former genie let go of his cloak with an exasperated sigh.
A frown took place a smirk use to be as he examined the lock that held the cell closed. He checked Sheela, from head to toe, making sure she's not in any shape that would hinder mobility.
"What? Now's not the time to be fawning over my looks Tin man." She scoffed.
"I'm checking if you are chained to the wall or anything that could prevent you from running. I can get you out, but it'll be loud. So I'll need you to send it as soon as I open the door." Solon explained, grabbing the cell door with his left hand. He looked up at Sheela, who took a step back and nodded.
His mechanical arm whirred softly before amping up. In a single powerful pull, the old lock gave way and the cell doors loudly swung open while creaking, before hitting bars and making even more noise. Sheela, the second the door banged against the bars, took off running down the hallway in the direction Solon had come from, with the mercenary hot on her heels.
"Four cells down from the entrance door!" She said, swinging the entrance door open and disappearing behind it as Solon kept on running past it towards the cell where the kid was being held.
The audience caught wind of the noise and so did the guards, so the mercenary had to work fast. Grabbing the cell doors and fully tearing them off the hinges, Solon got inside the cell. One quick look to confirm he didn't get the wrong kid and he was got to go.
The beastfolk boy on the other hand, did not share Solon's sentiment when it came to a quick escape. Believing the mercenary to simply be another one of the guards or trainers, he flew into a rage, hissing and screaming at the man, while flailing his arms, prepubescent claws out and ready to cut.
Chanting the same sleep spell incantation, he heard from Vur'z, the soldier approached the hysterical boy. Putting the little beast to sleep with a non-effective sleeping spell and a very effective right hook, Solon tossed the knocked-out boy over his shoulder and dashed outside the cell and towards the door, stopping just long enough to throw the cell door he had previously torn off, at the approaching guards.
***
General Eirlys and her troops were already cutting it close with their planned assault. The portal gate had been open without interruption for almost half a day, with only human engineers running in and out of the portal. Observing them gave some insight at the gates themselves and how they can be used. Watching the same men go in and out multiple times, before suddenly becoming dizzy and throwing up, had Amara realizing that there is a limit to how many times one can go through a portal in a short span of time before experiencing negative effects.
The elves waited for the cover of night to launch their attack, but tension was high. No one knew what the humans were priming the portal for, but as the number of engineers reduced and the outpost seemed to finish with all necessary preparations, Eirlys understood that it all comes down to this moment.
With everyone in position, arrows at the ready, the general focused her magic. Her arrow pulled back as the head of the arrow began to glow while Eirlys chanted to herself. A sharp inhale and the arrow was let loose.
The success, entirely dependent on scout Amara's information, was evident. Striking its mark, which was one of the human motion sensor turrets, the arrow exploded, rendering the device useless.
Humans sprung to action immediately, as the elven troops rushed out the forest, getting in range to let their arrows loose. Eirlys primed a second arrow, same spell, same target, another turret down. With arrow fired, her spell casting and firing increased in speed, taking down the turrets before they could be moved or properly fortified. As the last of them went up in flames, she rushed out of cover to join her troops in storming the outpost.
The generators that powered the gate and kept the portal open were heavily fortified. Her arrows, even with explosive enchantments could not leave even a single dent on them, let alone get to what's inside. So, the second option was to storm and take over the outpost, killing anyone who tries to get in from the other side, until they figure out how to disable the machines keeping the portal opened.
Caught by surprise, humans struggled to ward off the sudden elven attack. Their over reliance on the now destroyed turrets evidently proved to be a massive flaw. However, the elves were still going up against guns, and despite having the strength in numbers and the dark night on their side, not a single one of them has yet managed to get across the defensive walls of the outpost without being gunned down immediately.
Volley after volley of arrows rained down on the outpost, pushing the humans all the way back to the portal gate. This seemed like a victory for elves at last. That was what the general wanted to believe as her troops finally broke through the defense and stormed the outpost. But they were too late.
The portal rippled, as a monstrosity of metal came through it on four legs. Looking at it, Eirlys thought it looked like a spider or a crab of sorts. Then it came, the sound nightmares were made off. The spinning of metal, faster and faster, before gunfire echoed through the night. Not single shots, not burst fire, but a continuous shower of high caliber rounds tore the elves like they were leaves.
"FALL BACK! THEY BREACHED THE PORTAL!" The general screamed, leaping back over the wall, as the second spider like machine started crossing the portal from the other side. On each side a minigun, similar to the ones the turrets had, but larger in comparison. Turrets would gun down their targets, but these would tear them to chunks. Whirring and clamoring with each step it took, the machine moved closer. The general focused her magic, firing enchanted arrow after arrow at the unholy contraption, but her attempts yielded no results.
She finally leapt back over the outpost wall and joined what remained of her troops, as they ran back to the woods for safety, without any semblance or strategy. Just a mad dash in hopes of saving their heads.
The giant metal insect followed, walking through the stone wall with ease. Once more it opened fire, this time aiming at the cover they were running towards. Bullets tore through trees with ease, crushing any hope the elves had when it came to surviving this ordeal. Eirlys stood before it, aiming her arrow at the machine, one last ditch attempt to buy her comrades time to escape.
As the second walking nightmare began breaching the portal, the general experienced overwhelming despair grip her entire being for the first time in her long life. Guns stopped firing for a moment to cool down, the heavy metal leg of the machine raised high and ready to squash her. She fired arrow after arrow, fear and helplessness sinking deeper into her heard every time an arrow would bounce off the hard shell of the machine.
"This is it." She thought.
"I hope at least some of my troops escaped."
Guns sped their rotation up again, preparing to leave only examples, not survivors. Eirlys screamed in fury as the leg of the machine began to drop down on her.
"ENOUGH!" A voice boomed through the night, shaking the ground and the general to her core.
The machine stopped, just for a second, before being hit from the side by a massive rock shaped like a cone. It toppled over, its mechanical cries of death echoing for a while longer as it spilled its black, flammable blood and desperately tried to get back up. Eirlys turned to first to her right, her heart overcome with relief as she witnessed all her troops, alive and well, kneeling on the ground in reverence.
Turning to her left, she dropped to her knees to join them.
"Your Holiness."
Night became as bright as day, while a single person slowly made its way to the outpost. Her entire presence exuding an aura of power and wisdom worth millennia. Glowing like the brightest star, the leader of the High Elves came to the general's rescue in their time of need.
Simply extending her arm and pointing at the portal gate, then clenching her fist while turning her hand, the portal closed, cutting off the second machine that was slowly getting through in half. The energy feedback made the generators explode. Still, despite such an overwhelming show of force, the remaining humans in the outpost still opened fire on her.
The High Elf was not amused in the slightest.
"Perish from my sight, vile vermin." She hissed, before a ball of fire dropped onto the outpost, swallowing everyone in alive whole.
"On your feet General. I have much to discuss with your king, take me to him." The radiant woman ordered.

***
Solon caught up with Sheela, as the pair now ran through the empty village streets with a furious mob of mercenaries, adventurers and village folk coming after them.
"What are we to do? Can't run forever." The soldier said, rounding another corner in hoped of losing their pursuers.
"To the caravan resting area, that might be our only escape." The genie said, grabbing him by the cloak and running with him down yet another alley.
"What happened to the kid?"
"He'll be fine. Just a little headache when he wakes up." Solon assured her, as the boy dangled off his shoulder like a bag of potatoes while he ran.
Finally making it to the rest area, they hopped in the first wagon that seemed empty and was actually still attached to the horse like creatures that pulled it.
"Hiyah! Mush! Move, go. Cmon!" Solon yelled, pulling and moving the reigns that controlled the animals, but none of them bothered to move.
"Ooooh fuuuck!" The mercenary looked over his shoulder at the mob approaching.
Sheela grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back into the wagon as she grabbed the reigns.
A deep breath, focusing as best possible to channel her magic, the feeling still foreign and alien to her.
"Ahk'Am! Akash, jan!" The forger genie shouted.
Like possessed, the animals jumped to their feet and began to move. A light jog turned into a mad gallop, kicking up a cloud of dust. Solon ducked as daggers and bricks flew past the wagon, thrown by the furious arena mob that was now left behind, as the wagon disappeared from sight, heading towards the desert.
"Where do we go now?" Solon asked.
"I don't know. We got out of there safe. As for where next, let's ask the kid when he wakes up." Sheela sighed and sat down.

I don't get what makes me someone who disrespect consent if I dislike certain animal species I can't believe they would label someone innocent as a r*pist for such a stupid reason Its dumb how they assume most of people who dislike cats want compassionate pets or as they say "animals who have no dignity" there is different reasons why would anyone dislike certain animals one of them they probably had bad history with them for example got attacked by one and had a serious damage because of it and also another reason they despise their traits which should be completely normalized to hate how an animal behave it's not cruel to do so but they act like it's a war crime
Also, since when did cats respect boundaries? they are literal animals stop expecting them to act in a human way and don't bring up sensitive topics into this because it makes you look more stupid if someone likes cats it doesn't automatically make them a good person or someone who respect boundaries
To be honest I would rather live alone than have a partner that have a creepy obsession with cats or any other animal species in general I wouldn't like them to label me as a criminal and insult me personally just because I opened up about disliking it and would admit they would rather sacrifice their family just to save their pet this behavior was too normalized it's just sad

This guide was created by two anonymous nursing students who attended Rutgers School of Nursing and want to review the curriculum and share our opinion of this program comprehensively.
We do not wish to bash or criticize this program, but rather to provide constructive feedback for the administration and highlight key points for students to watch out for. This is the best program in the state for Nursing, we want to help students navigate it successfully.
This guide mainly pertains to the Rutgers School of Nursing Traditional Program on the New Brunswick Campus, but most professors teach on the New Brunswick and Newark campuses. Second-degree students at the Newark campus can also reference this guide as many professors are shared with the Traditional program. This guide does not pertain to the Blackwood 2+2 Program or the Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden (Camden is a separate school from us).

Admissions

As students, we are not qualified to provide information on the Rutgers School of Nursing admissions. We hope our anecdotal observations can provide a helpful perspective for prospective students navigating this journey.
From what we've gathered, with the new option to submit applications to Rutgers through the Common App, it is increasingly difficult to be admitted directly into the school. We believe it is one of the hardest schools to be admitted to at Rutgers. The School of Nursing does not accept transfer students from external institutions, you must already be a Rutgers student (in another school, like SAS, SEBS) to apply for a school-to-school transfer. Even so, the School of Nursing accepts very few transfer students, so this is not a safe/viable option for those not accepted as freshmen. Additionally, if a transfer is successful, you may need to take certain prerequisite courses, extending your time in the program, which ends up similar to pursuing a second degree.
If your main goal is to graduate with a degree in Nursing, apply for both New Brunswick and Newark campuses, as they confer the same degree. Note that the Newark class is significantly smaller and offers less of the “traditional” college experience that many students desire. We recommend that, if you are not admitted directly into the traditional program at Rutgers, to attend another nursing school you were accepted to, or complete a degree as another life science major and apply to a Second-degree program, which is generally less competitive.
AP Credits will not apply to any Nursing Prerequisite courses with the exception of Statistics. Other AP credits may apply to elective courses or the general elective requirements. Nursing students are not required to complete the Rutgers SAS Core required in almost all other schools.
2023 Admissions Data, Source

Campus	Applicant Count	Incoming Class Size	Waitlist Admits

Newark	2,115	63	174 of 625 (27.84%)

Navigating the Nursing Curriculum

The program's structure is extremely backloaded, with the initial two years dedicated to liberal arts courses, general electives, and foundational nursing prerequisites. All clinical courses are placed in the program's second half, creating a tight squeeze to learn and absorb all the skills required as nurses. Once Junior year comes, you will be inundated with didactical nursing courses, labs, simulations, clinicals, and unreasonable amounts of homework assignments. As you navigate the program's first half, embrace the opportunity to live a college life—HAVE FUN, join clubs, go party, and make friends, but be ready to put it all away when Junior year comes. Your experiences in the first two years are crucial for building the support network you'll rely on as the program intensifies.
Starting in the Junior year, nursing courses consist of 3-hour lectures, all scheduled on a single or two days of the week. This scheduling is deliberate, allowing for clinicals to occupy the remaining weekdays and ensuring all students can attend lectures. However, this results in long, exhausting days filled with back-to-back classes that make it challenging to effectively absorb the material. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of teaching assistants and the inaccessibility of professors outside of class, as office hours are limited to "by appointment" sessions, which are hard to come by. The end of class is the only time for questions, but this is also not viable as professors usually have subsequent classes. The current setup severely restricts student ability to effectively understand course material.
We hope for a re-evaluation of this curriculum in the near future that would introduce nursing-specific courses as early as the Sophomore year. The current nursing prerequisites lack direct application to the variety of hands-on skills and knowledge for nursing practice. Introducing nursing courses earlier can bridge this gap and allow students more time to apply their knowledge.
Refer to the School of Nursing’s website for the most up-to-date curriculum. The Class of 2024 is the first cohort graduating with this new “updated curriculum,” so we believe it is relatively up-to-date and will be relevant for the near future.

Course Difficulty

Like many nursing programs across the country, Rutgers Nursing is a challenging program to complete. The school policy requires a minimum grade of C+ (74.5%) in any nursing-coded course (705) to be considered passing. C is required for all prerequisite courses (non-Nursing). Courses are often prerequisites for subsequent courses, particularly in the earlier semesters, and in the Junior year and beyond, they are corequisites, meaning that dropping a course requires withdrawing for the entire semester. This strict policy is daunting as nursing courses are only offered once a semester, so failing a course can mean being held back a full year.

• Trigger Warning: Not Passing a Course
  • In our experience, approximately 20-25% of students fail at least one course in this program. Many students who struggle before their sophomore year decide to change their major, while those in their Junior year or beyond often choose to retake the course.
  • Almost everyone in the program knows someone who has dropped Nursing within the four years. This can happen for many reasons, such as discovering a lack of passion for Nursing or experiencing significant challenges with exams. We empathize with everyone who has not passed a course. We know that the school does not provide support in these situations :(
• Note: The school administration has made some positive changes to address this issue. Depending on the course failed, students may be able to retake it with the Newark second-degree program, allowing them to stay on track for graduation or close to it.

The grade policy, while it seems reasonable, creates considerable stress for students aiming to do well. Achieving a 74.5% or higher means there is little room for error, as it's hard to recover from a poor exam grade. Most courses in the program are exam-heavy, with the HESI (NCLEX-style subject exam) accounting for 10% of the grade in many courses. (We find that there is no consistent way to study for the HESI without spending a lot of time reviewing the content). We suspect that this policy ensures only students with the highest likelihood of passing the NCLEX graduate from the program. The NCLEX pass rate is crucial for nursing schools, as it directly reflects the program's ability to produce competent nurses.
We do not intend to scare potential students but rather to highlight that any nursing program requires a significant amount of effort and should be approached with commitment and seriousness!

Rutgers Nursing Campus Dynamics

The experience of navigating Rutgers-New Brunswick campuses during the first two years of the nursing program differs from the second half, due to the back-loaded nature of the curriculum. Courses in the first two years of nursing school are mostly not nursing department courses and will be scattered on all four campuses. Make sure you choose your campus classes wisely, or you will have a miserable time on the buses during peak bus/traffic hours.
A significant shift occurs once you enter Junior year. The curriculum concentrates all nursing-specific courses into just two buildings in Downtown New Brunswick: 120 Albany Street and 110 Paterson Street. These buildings are incredibly small for their function, and the biggest lecture hall can hold around 120 students, which is often not enough to accommodate the whole cohort. This can lead to a sense of isolation as the nursing buildings are a 5-10 walk from livelier parts of campus. However, most students live on College Avenue to avoid the bus commute from other campuses, as the School of Nursing likes to schedule classes starting at 8:30AM :( Additionally, since nursing classes are typically three-hour lectures arranged on the same days to accommodate clinical schedules, the streets downtown can feel particularly dangerous to navigate in the winter months when it gets dark early.
*This is not an issue at the Newark campus, as most classes are in the same four buildings that are next to each other.

Nursing Prerequisites Courses (Freshman, Sophomore Year)

Before Junior year, students take a mix of prerequisite courses that pave the way for the nursing clinical courses starting in Junior year. Some of these courses are not specifically nursing major (705) courses and are controlled by other departments, resulting in different policies. Generally, a minimum grade of C is required for non-705 courses, while nursing courses require at least a C+. These prerequisite courses can be particularly challenging as students are still adjusting to college life. However, they also serve as an excellent gauge to determine if you can handle the rigor of the courses in Junior year and beyond. Additionally, many of these classes will not be held in the nursing building but will be spread across multiple campuses.
We will not comment on the elective courses (e.g., Humanities, Cultural Studies, History electives), as these are flexible and should be selected after discussion with an advisor.

119:127/128 Anatomy & Physiology I and II with Lab (Semester 1 and 2)
^ Difficulty: 4.5/5, RateMyProfessor, The professor for the New Brunswick course, Anthony Uzwiak, has not changed for the past few years. A&P series is a challenging course that is graded on a curve, which is uncommon for Nursing courses. Professor Uzwiak is very knowledgeable, but his exams are tough and will take significant time to prepare for. The difficulty of the course is further increased by the adjustment into college life and the sudden transition into taking an intensive course
119:131/132 Microbiology Hlth Sci with Lab (Semester 3 or 4)
^ Difficulty: 4/5, RateMyProfessor, The professor for the New Brunswick course, Susan Skelly, has not changed for the past few years. Microbiology is also a challenging course that requires significant reading and prep. Skelly's exams are tough and require a lot of memorization of textbook content, diagrams and pictures. Extra credit opportunities are available through pop quizzes, which can help boost exam grades.
160:128 Chemistry of Life (Semester 3 or 4)
^ Difficulty: 4/5, RateMyProfessor, The professor for the New Brunswick course, Robert Boikess, has not changed for the past few years. His class has mandatory attendance and heavily relies on pre-recorded lectures and use of the textbooks. Exams are difficult and often determine the final grade, so use available resources such as past exams and practice problems. The course is graded on a curve, showing improvement throughout the semester, especially on later exams, and active participation can help achieve a passing grade.
705:255 Nutrition (Semester 3)
^ Difficulty: 2.5/5, RateMyProfessor, The professor for the New Brunswick and Newark courses, Eileen Swingle, has not changed for the past few years. The course includes a few exams, easy weekly participation assignments, and a final project. She is caring and has a supportive teaching style and offers extra credit opportunities, which can significantly improve your grade. Overall, this is one of the easier courses in the program, made enjoyable by Professor Swingle's passion for nutrition.
705:229 Life Span: A Holistic Approach (Dev Psych, Semester 4)
^ Difficulty: 3/5, This course has professors that change frequently, no specific RateMyProfessor page is attached. It provides an overview of development and the complexity of human growth, including a review of both historical and modern-day developmental theories. The course is of medium difficulty and is the first where students encounter NCLEX-style questions on exams. These developmental theories will continue to appear in other courses throughout the program, so a solid understanding of them will be beneficial.
705:205 Sociocultural Dimensions of Health (Semester 4)
^ Difficulty: 2.5/5, This course has professors that change frequently, so no specific RateMyProfessor page is attached. It was added to the curriculum in 2022 and varies significantly depending on the professor. The course is highly theoretical with sociological components, but the concepts are generally straightforward and easy to grasp. It focuses on the effects of cultural and lifestyle differences on health from a human/society rather than biological viewpoint, through the perspective of a nurse.

Nursing Courses (Non-Clinical)

These are 705 Nursing JunioSenior level courses that do not have a clinical component. Note that Health Assessment includes a lab component.
705:306 Health Assessment Across the Life Span (Semester 5)

• Difficulty: 4.5/5
• Lecture: This course is the rigorous introduction to nursing assessment, focusing on the fundamentals of evaluating health. You learn to distinguish between normal and abnormal findings in physical and behavioral assessments, using techniques and equipment for systematic assessments and health history collection. This is a hard, hallmark nursing “weed out” course, as it requires a solid understanding of anatomy to apply to patient care. There are one or more body systems that are taught every week. The difficulty comes from the vast amount of information required and the detailed-oriented nature of the exams, which assess both knowledge and critical thinking abilities. It is important to keep up with the course content, the pace is fast and all content is revisited during the final exam.
• Lab: Accompanying the lecture component, there is a 2-hour clinical lab every week that focuses on a specific system (Ex. Cardiac, Musculoskeletal, Respiratory systems). You will learn how to conduct patient interviews, collect history, subjective and objective findings of each system. A significant component is the two skills exams (test-outs) in this lab, vital signs and comprehensive assessment test-out. These are pass/fail evaluations which do not affect your grade but you only have two attempts to pass each. The lab is generally pretty chill, the Center for Clinical Learning (CCL) staff hosts skills sessions where they will teach you and help you remediate if you fail a test-out. Students should be aware that it is possible to pass the lecture component but fail the course due to the lab test-outs.
• Our Review: Although this course is hard, it creates a fantastic foundation for future nursing courses. To be successful, set aside time weekly to study for this course, focus on reviewing the slides thoroughly and supplementing content with the Jarvis textbook. The EAQs are good study material for the exams.

705:350 Pathophysiology & Pharmacotherapeutics: An Integrated Approach I (Semester 5)

• Difficulty: 4/5
• Lecture: This is the first course of integrated Pathophysiology and Pharmacotherapeutics series (Patho/Pharm). The BSN program underwent a curriculum change in 2022, merging the previously separate Pathophysiology and Pharmacology courses. Despite the course title suggesting an equal focus on pharmacology, the primary emphasis is on pathophysiology. Each week covers 2-3 topics, focusing on the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment for pathologies related to major body systems. This course involves minimal pharmacology and relies heavily on memorization. The exams primarily test the ability to memorize and recall information rather than applying concepts.

705:351 Pathophysiology & Pharmacotherapeutics: An Integrated Approach II (Semester 6)

• Difficulty: 4.25/5
• Lecture: This course, the second in the Pathophysiology and Pharmacotherapeutics series, builds on the foundational knowledge from the first course. It covers pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and managing diseases such as infections, pain, respiratory, cardiovascular, central nervous system, endocrine, and gastrointestinal disorders. It is more challenging due to its in-depth and complex pharmacological content, requiring a solid understanding of physiology and strong memorization skills. Keeping up with the material is crucial; you cannot afford to fall behind. The course includes a comprehensive HESI exam.

^ Our Review of the Pathopharm Series

• From our perspective, this series suffers from some disorganization, due to the integration of pathophysiology and pharmacotherapeutics into 2-course series. This means that you’re essentially learning the cause, effect, AND treatment of diseases concurrently, and a lot of content overlaps with what is covered in the Adult 1 and 2 courses.
• The professor for this series has not changed in the past few years: Rate my Professor

705:325 Professional Nursing I (Semester 5)

• Difficulty: 2/5
• Lecture: This is the first of three Professional Nursing courses. Each week, the course delves into different aspects of the nursing profession, such as the history of nursing, nursing theory, and more. Typically, the course includes three exams and three major assignments or projects. The course content and structure can vary significantly depending on the professor, but it is generally considered one of the easier courses in this semester.
• Main Topics: History of the Nursing Profession, Clinical Judgment, Nursing Theory, Legal Aspects of Nursing, The Role of the Professional Nurse.

705:326 Professional Nursing II (Semester 6)

• Difficulty: 1/5
• Lecture: This course emphasizes issues in healthcare, nursing informatics, health literacy, and guidelines for research. The coursework includes weekly activities that account for a significant portion of the grade, making participation important. The majority of the grade is participation, making it one of the easier courses in the nursing program.
• Main Topics: Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods, Nursing Informatics and Health Information Technology, Ethical Considerations in Nursing Research, Integrating Evidence into Clinical Practice.

705:427 Professional Nursing III (Semester 7)

• Difficulty: 1/5 (Special Circumstance)
• Lecture: We unfortunately cannot provide too much information on this course. In Spring 2024, the original professor could no longer teach, and another professor had to fill in. This course ended up being a series of guest speakers, focusing on topics such as nurse leadership, professional development, joining professional organizations, union leaders, and nursing legislators. These sessions were generally helpful and made the course relatively easy. There is some homework and a Leadership HESI exam as part of this course.
• Main Topics: Role of the Nurse Leader, Health Policy Development, Quality and Safety in Nursing, Professional Development, Nurse Leadership Across the Lifespan

^ Our Review of Professional Nursing Series

• In our experience, the Professional Nursing course series is disorganized. The content for these courses is vague and theoretical; even the professors have a hard time defining what the class is for. Topics such as Evidence-Based Nursing Practice, communication, collaboration, and teamwork are constantly brought up, but there is no connection to clinical activities. We find these classes to have little value and relevance to Nursing, and we had a hard time recalling what was taught. These courses are likely requirements for a BSN program that includes research, leadership, and evidence-based practice,

705:418 Population Health (Semester 8)

• Difficulty: 3/5
• Lecture: This course is a new addition to the curriculum and is a requirement for a BSN program. The content is extremely vague and theoretical, covering topics such as levels of prevention, the epidemiological triangle, public health wheel, and more. The exams are also vague, but practice using problems EAQs and Quizlet significantly helps. There is a HESI exam for this course.

705:460 Nursing Elective:Special Topics (Semester 8)

• Difficulty: Varies, but generally easy/5
• Lecture: These electives are a new addition to the curriculum and are mostly asynchronous courses focusing on specialty topics that students can select based on their interests. They typically include a mix of online lectures, homework, and projects. Overall, they are considered relatively easy compared to core nursing courses. Professors sometimes forget about these courses since they have other, more important courses to teach. Due to the variety of electives available, we have less specific information about each one.
• Offerings Spring 2024:
  • Introduction to Wound Care

Rutgers Nursing Clinical Experience — A Program Highlight

As one of the largest and most well-known nursing programs in New Jersey, Rutgers has established connections with some of the best clinical sites in the state. Students will graduate with 588 clinical hours. New Brunswick students typically have clinicals in Central Jersey, and Newark students have clinicals in the North Jersey area, with some exceptions. Each clinical is 84 hours a semester, in either 6 hour or 12 hour shifts. 12 hour clinicals are 7AM-7PM every other week. 6 hour clinicals can be 7AM-1PM, 1PM-7PM, or 3PM-9PM.
Quality of Clinical Instructors One of the highlights of the Rutgers Nursing program is the exceptional quality of its clinical instructors. All instructors hold at least a Master’s degree, with many possessing Doctoral degrees in advanced practice. Most instructors work at the hospital where they also serve as clinical instructors. The dual role means they are familiar with the hospital, have resources, and are aware of policies, all of which are extremely beneficial. During clinicals, students are paired with a nurse preceptor for the day, and the experience can vary greatly depending on the preceptor. While some nurses allow students to perform full assessments and medication passes, others may prefer that students observe. Regardless, each experience offers learning opportunities. Clinical instructors will break down the learning after each clinical in "post-conference" and students will share their experiences with each other from the day.
Community Clinical Settings Recently, there has been a push to incorporate Out-of-Hospital/“Community” clinicals into the program. These include shadowing school nurses, prison nurses (Rutgers Health manages state correctional facilities), and nurse practitioners involved in community screening programs. These experiences are unique to Rutgers and align with the broader state effort to expose nursing studnets to opportunities outside the traditional hospital setting.
Clinical Simulations Rutgers Nursing is also making advancements in clinical simulation. Simulations typically occur 2-3 times per semester for each course and replace hospital clinicals for those days. The Center for Clinical Learning (CCL) runs these simulations, using mannequins and other hospital equipment to simulate emergency situations that students might not encounter during regular clinicals. The instructors are supportive and understanding, even when students make mistakes.
Transition to Professional Practice (TPP) In the final senior year clinical in the course Transition to Professional Practice (TPP), students are placed in a Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) within a hospital and are expected to perform nearly independently under the guidance of a preceptor. DEU Placements include ER, ICU, Peds, Oncology, Med/Surg, Women's Health, in hospitals across the state. The DEU experience builds competence and confidence in nursing skills and can significantly help with employment after graduating.
Site Selection Regarding clinical selection, the school currently assigns clinical sites randomly, with little regard for personal convenience. However, administration has hinted at changes in the near future.
Our Perspective Overall, the clinical experience at Rutgers Nursing is a solid foundation for developing proficiency. All the clinical instructors we’ve encountered are passionate about teaching skills and competent in their work. The varied experiences in hospital and community settings, along with simulation training, ensure that students are well-prepared for their nursing careers. While the randomness of clinical site assignments can be annoying, the quality of education and hands-on training makes it a worthwhile journey. The clinical experience is a highlight of the program and a key contributor to the success of graduates.

Nursing Courses (With Clinicals/Simulation Labs)

705:335 Nursing Care of Healthy Populations (Semester 5)

• Difficulty: 3/5
• AKA: NCHP
• This course is a new addition to the nursing curriculum introduced in 2020, replacing the older Nursing Care Provider 1 and 2 series. It has an 84-hour clinical component that is predominantly conducted in the skills lab at the 120 Albany building, supplemented by two days at a skilled nursing facility towards the course's conclusion. We believe this is the easiest clinical course
• Clinical/Lab: You’ll be practicing basic nursing skills on mannequins, including therapeutic communication, hygiene care, managing elimination needs with bedpans and urinals, and handling feedings. Included in this clinical are two critical "test-outs," focusing on the administering oral medications and the execution of IM and SC injections. These are pass/fail demonstrations, and you will have two opportunities to pass them.
• Lecture: The lecture component is somewhat detached from the clinical practice, with the course content and clinical applications often not synchronized week by week. Lectures encompass a range of topics from basic nursing concepts to more critical issues. Content areas such as personal hygiene, nutrition, sleep, and the ADPIE nursing process are covered alongside more important topics such as medication administration, infection control, and patient activity management. A common point of frustration is that the test material often does not directly relate to the content discussed in lectures. Much of the content in this course is self-explanatory, however this is many students’ first exposure to NCLEX clinical questions, and may pose as a notable learning curve regarding the testing style. While it's rare for anyone to fail this course, achieving high marks can be difficult due to these discrepancies between the lecture content and the test material.

705:340 Nursing Care of Childbearing Families (Semester 6)

• Difficulty: 3.75/5
• AKA: Maternity
• Clinical: Placements in various hospital units, including MotheBaby, LaboDelivery, Newborn Nursery, Operating Room (C-Section), and High-Risk Maternity units.
• Lecture: This course is the first "specialty" nursing course, focusing on women's health and childbearing. It is very content and knowledge-heavy, with wide range of topics from prenatal care to postpartum complications. The exams range from medium to hard difficulty and demand strong critical thinking skills. Course can feel hard due to the complex nature of maternal and fetal health, the need to quickly identify and respond to complications, and the emotional aspects of caring for childbearing families.

705:336 Nursing Care of Adults & Older Adults with Common Health Conditions: (Semester 6)

• Difficulty: 4/5
• AKA: Adult 1
• Clinical: Placements are in various Medical/Surgical units across New Jersey. Both Adult Health 1 (AH1) and Adult Health 2 (AH2) have the same clinical placements, essentially doubling the clinical experience. Clinical practice focuses on essential nursing skills such as IV fluids, injections, vital signs, assessments, elimination, nutrition, wound care, oxygen therapy, and managing chronic conditions.
• Lecture: This is the first of two “Medical/Surgical” series courses focusing on adult health. The lectures cover a wide range of topics but emphasize common health conditions in adults and older adults. Fluids and electrolytes, acid-base balance, and perioperative care are particularly challenging. The Spring 2024 course includes regular exams and pop quizzes, which can be different from the lecture content, requiring strong critical thinking skills.

705:428 Nursing of Adults & Older Adults with Complex Health Conditions (Semester 7)

• Difficulty: 4.25/5
• AKA: Adult 2
• Clinical: Placements are the same as Adult 1, in various Medical/Surgical units across New Jersey.
• Lecture: This is the second course in the series, focusing on complex health conditions. It is particularly challenging because it emphasizes care for critically ill patients who need immediate treatment. The exams often have triage questions, which require strong critical thinking skills. The course is both content and thinking-intensive, covering a wide range of complex topics. Active participation and consistent study are crucial for success.

705:412 Nursing Care of Infants, Children & Adolescents (Semester 7)

• Difficulty: 3.75/5
• AKA: Peds
• Clinical: Various pediatric hospitals in the state, rotating between adolescent and pediatric units.
• Lecture: Pediatrics specialty course that can be challenging due to the differences in diseases between children and adults. The nature of pediatric illnesses requires understanding of both developmental and medical aspects unique to pediatric populations. Additionally, the treatment approaches differ significantly from adult care. This course emphasizes family-centered care, developmentally appropriate communication, and evidence-based nursing interventions for pediatric patients.

705:414 Nursing Care of Individuals/ Populations with Acute & Chronic Mental Health Conditions (Semester 8)

• Difficulty: 3.5/5
• AKA: Psych
• Clinical: Mix of simulation lab and psychiatric mental health hospitals. Unique in the sense that you get to attend support groups and rotate through the units in a mental health hospital. The patient stories are especially interesting, and you spend time talking and getting to know patients.
• Lecture: As the last specialty course in the curriculum, the faculty aims to support student success while keeping up rigorous standards (they try to make it easier to pass). The main challenge is balancing pharmacological treatments with non-pharmacological and behavioral interventions, so you need a good understanding of both. There's a heavy focus on pharmacology. The course also emphasizes family-centered care, developmentally appropriate communication, and evidence-based nursing interventions for psychiatric patients.

705:455 Transition to Professional Practice (Semester 8)

• Difficulty: 0.5/5
• AKA: TPP
• Clinical: See TPP section in clinical review above^
• Lecture: This course is designed to smoothly transition students into the professional nursing role, with a strong emphasis on career readiness and NCLEX preparation. Lectures cover practical topics such as resume building, interview skills, and professional development. Main assignments include creating a polished resume, practicing interview techniques, and completing HESI comprehensive exams, which serve as a final predictor of NCLEX success. The majority of the coursework consists of pass/fail assignments and weekly discussions on various nursing-related topics, contributing to the course's overall low-stakes nature.

Tips and Takeaways

Rutgers Nursing is an excellent program that offers great value and effectively prepares students for the nursing profession. We sincerely hope the curriculum can be revamped soon to realize its full potential. There is a significant transition between the first two years and the last two years, and the school could improve in preparing students for this shift. The job placement rate for this program is outstanding. Most graduates secure positions that pay at or near six figures straight out of college, which is almost unmatched for a Bachelor's degree.
However, this program is extremely challenging and requires constant effort. Each semester includes at least one difficult course that demands continuous studying. Remember, it's not a sprint—it's a marathon. Many classmates burn out early, so it's crucial to pace yourself and develop effective study habits. Prospective students should be prepared for a rigorous academic program that demands dedication and strong study skills.

My botany teacher enters the class, sketches a structure or flowchart on the board and explains huge topics with that single diagram and a ton of additional labellings. All this happens while I stay bewildered at the ability of this human to deliver such beautiful lectures and moreover, to memorize such large content.
So, that awe brings me here to seek answers on how to develop this ability of taking a blank canvas ,and presenting the complexity of life in such a manner that all the other person can do is to sit and be amazed.
I believe developing this skill will help me in my long term goal of becoming a professor along with having crystal clear concepts as a student at present.
How do I go about memorising such large chunks of data in sequence and then reciting them?
P.S: Flashcards would be of no help as I wish to develop a subjective approach towards the subject.

Note: for some games from humble I might ask for gift links. There is a rumor 3 years ago that humble bans users due to making gift links only. I make gift links every week, never have any issues. I have no idea why humble would ever ban its customers for using a feature it provides to its custimers.

Here is a guide how to make gift links from support.Humblebundle.com: https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/202712460-Purchasing-and-Sending-Gifts

I do not believe humble teaches you how to make gift links, so it can ban you, lol

Region is NA.

If you have my wishlist games, Chat with me anytime. Only accept games from your own collection.
