I was looking for 1990s clipart yesterday and came across one called "COMPUTE.BMP" and I'm still at a loss for words

Drugs 

Incidentally, yes, those anaesthetics ending in -caine do tend to be related to cocaine in some way. Another fun fact for you.

Feel free to use this info however you like. I just think it's interesting that cocaine is still used for this purpose when there have since been better topical anaesthetics.

Fun fact: cocaine is still used as a topical anaesthetic! In fact, in the US, it's approved under not one but two brand names! Names that gained recent approval at that.

wasn't aware of it at all in the 90s but CDE looks gorgeous too. i wonder what it's like to use in 2021

i am once again missing the abstract skeuomorphism computers used to have. so tired of flat design

I've made some updates to my last blog post:
aurav.neocities.org/blog_posts

I've added a disclaimer at the start to the effect of "I'm a USian, please research for your own country." And I've added a bit on asinine eligibility requirments (you can't give blood if you're a guy who's had sex with another guy) and how it's fine to say "fuck it, they don't deserve my blood then." I still think you should give if you can, but this and similar """requirements""" are fucking ridiculous.

my medium-spicy take is that olympic fencing has gotten so up its own ass as to be impossible to take seriously, almost exclusively because right-of-way priority rules are so asinine that you are incentivized to just run in and impale yourself as long as you get a double-touch

New blog post! It's a follow-up of sorts as to what I was saying yesterday about how you should absolutely be giving blood and registered to donate marrow and organs. I talk about what they entail, how they work, and try to hit a few common concerns. Give it a read and let me know if you've got any further concerns I could maybe help address.

And, finally, please register as an organ donor. In some countries, you might be by default, but a lot of countries require you to opt-in. Go check and register if you need to!

While I'm going on about this stuff, have you considered becoming a marrow donor? Marrow is also valuable for life and you don't have to be dead to donate. It's a bit more intense than blood donation (much more for proper marrow rather than peripheral stem cells), but you only give once a match is found. Definitely consider it if you haven't before.

A quick PSA:
If you're able to do so, please give blood! Blood supplies are generally lower than demand for blood products, so giving blood can very much save a life. So, please, check the eligibility requirements for your locale and, if you're eligible, go donate! Whole blood, red blood cells, platelets, or plasma, all are useful!

You should be pround of having made it so far as a nonbinary person. Many people out there are determined to make life as hard as possible for us, and you've survived despite it.

Keep growing stronger and more fearsome everyday. Be a thistle in their garden and bear in their backyard.
