Charlie: Dad! Alastor! Can you come downstairs? I need both of you to help me!
Lucifer: Ugh, I'm too tired for hotel chores.
Alastor: Same goes for me.
Lucifer: You know what we have to do, right?
Alastor: Of course. You first.
Lucifer: *clears throat*
Lucifer: YOU STUPID DEER! YOU'RE A PATHETIC WANNA BE EDGELORD!
Alastor: AND YOU'RE A USELESS DUCK LOVING EXCUSE FOR A MONARCH!
Charlie: Hey! Hey! Both of you, go to your rooms and don't come out till you can be civil!
Both: *turn and leave*
Lucifer: Every time.
Alastor: Works like a charm.
We laugh at how The Art of War is basically just, "An army can't fight if the soldiers aren't eating," but I'm reading this document about conservation of ancient yew trees and it legitimately says, "You should never fill the center of a hollow yew with concrete," so I think that probably making blatantly obvious statements is just the bane of being a specialist in anything
someone on bluesky called art of war a manual for ancient chinese noble failsons and that explains a lot

So turns out the US are setting babies up for a lifetime of illness and increased likelihood of liver cancer in Guinea Bissau in the name of “research”
7000 newborns will be denied the neoneatal HepB vaccine until 6 weeks to ‘prove’ that the HepB vaccine is linked to neurodevelopmental disability on the directions of the Department of Health vis RFK Jr and in collaboration with researchers in Denmark, despite the fact that the vaccine’s efficacy rate and best protection is when administered to newborns, and the total lack of correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Guinea Bissau has some of the highest rates of HepB on the continent, and infants are the group at the highest risk of contracting HepB, leading to chronic hepatitis & long term hepatic diseases like cirrhosis and liver failure as well as increased chance of liver cancer.
The study can’t be carried out in the US or Denmark because it fails almost every benchmark for medical ethics — surprising absolutely nobody, it is in fact heinously unethical to expose babies to preventable disease that causes liver failure and liver cancer, but the “study” has been green lit in Guinea.
Fuck the US imperial project in Africa, fuck RFK Jr and the US Department of Health, and fuck every single collaborative researcher in Denmark. This is some nightmare Tuskegee Study shit and every single individual involved deserves to be in The Hague.
Just saw an update to this story. Jan 15th, 2026. Looks like the study has been.... postponed and altered? In a way that is being called a cancellation?
The phrasing is confusing me and I am not sure if this is a very good headline. However I found more information on a story some of us are following, so, here it is.
Partial text, to explain why this article is confusing me:

Officials in Guinea-Bissau say the trial will still happen, according to one journalist on the press call. But Africa CDC officials said the trial would only move forward once it has been redesigned to address ethical issues. There were “still some conversations happening” between Guinea-Bissau officials and the US on how to conduct a trial like this ethically, and Africa CDC, which is not affiliated with the HHS, had assembled a team to make sure Guinea-Bissau officials “receive the adequate support to ensure that this study, if it has to happen, will also fit the ethical regulations”, Boum said.
The design of the study has not been made public by the researchers or by health officials, but a leaked version was published by Inside Medicine on Thursday. An HHS official told the Guardian after publication that the protocol is now being updated and the leaked version is not finalized. That would mean the trial would not proceed as it has been described so far.
The official did not offer a timeline for when the study would be finalized, but said the US was trying to move as quickly as possible before vaccines roll out to all Guinea-Bissau newborns in 2027. “This study is going to proceed as planned,” the official said.
Guinea-Bissau, which underwent a coup in November, appears to have replaced all top officials, including at the ministry of health. Previous officials did not respond to media inquiries, and the number and email address for the health ministry appear to be disconnected.
“The good guys won,” said Paul Offit, an infectious diseases physician at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a former member of the vaccines and related biological products advisory committee for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The cancellation news was “extremely heartening”, he said, adding that except for the birth of his children, he had “never been happier”.
you will probably not look like a skinny white anime girl when you transition you will likely look like someone's mom and you need to realize how swag this is
I saw a picture of my mom last week and did a double take because we both realized how similar we look. skinny white anime girls are not real women but your mom is. I promise you look like a real woman

As someone who ships both radioapple and lucilith, I don’t understand why radioapple fans love to make Lilith look like an abusive wife??
I’m seeing people make fake audition sheets, saying that Lilith hates lucifer? This isn’t true and I have lucifers actual audition sheet, it doesn’t mention that anywhere (pic below)
I hope these radioapple/lucifer fans know that lucifer would absolutely hate them for saying these things about his wife
Tbh, ik Viv says that they are like Morticia and Gomez, but there were some things that just felt a bit weird in what they did show of lucifer and liliths relationship. I 100% believe they were happy and in love. But they've also been together for 10,000 years. Thats a lot of time. And given everything that happened, and Lucifer apathy to the very subjects that Lilith seemed to care for. I cant imagine a small bit of resentment didnt begin to form.
It was weird that in more than anything, it was shown that Lilith would take Charlie away from Lucifer. This could be a one off (and I would like to believe that) and ik how depression can affect soneone. But it was weird that for someone who loves his daughter so much, he seemed to have limited contact with her as she grew up. Its possible Lilith didnt want Lucifer's feelings towards sinners to influence Charlie (so keeping them more separated could have been, from her perspective, for the right reasons)
There was also the scene in 2x01 where Lucifer and Charlie were talking about Lilith. Charlie says that Lilith was really good at ignoring meaningless things "or people". And Lucifer's tone and expression is sad and dejected as he agrees that Lilith was really good at that. Like that was him. (But again, Lucifer has a lot of issues and barely one brain cell. Its entirely possible that he could easily take things the wrong way and fear losing everything again)
One of the comments under OPs post also highlighted Lucifer's reaction to Charlie's anger. And yeah maybe that could have been from heaven, but tbh it felt more long term ingrained in him than from his fall. This was just some of the bigger things that were noticeable
The show hasnt really done a great job making me believe that Lilith is good (or well.. not evil) For Lucifer and Charlie's sake, I want her to be how Charlie remembers. But tbh Charlie and Vox are both unreliable narrators to Liliths ambitions, but I dont think heaven would be going for genocide over peaceful protests. And Lucifer doesnt even know for certain if they're even still married. ("I'm married... still... I think?") Just give the guy a solid answer Lilith, maybe over one of his 700+ phone calls 😭
Lucifer: How could you say that?!
Alastor: Oh very easily, because it's hilarious!
Emily: *clears throat*
Alastor: Fine. Cards.
Emily: *flips through them, hands him one*
Alastor, reading: I'm sorry I insulted the memory of your friend slash family member slash pet slash rubber duck.
So like did he insult all of them in one.
Impressive
A serious short story about Lucifer’s ring.
* This is an illustration based on my AU setting, so please be mindful when viewing.
Everything here is just my own imagination.
Right after they had just started reconnecting, the first thing Alastor can’t stand is Lucifer’s ring. But he comes to realize that, more than he imagined, it has become an important part of Lucifer.
At this point, he understands there are still boundaries he can’t cross. He could try to take it by force, but he doesn’t.
When I drew this, I really thought a lot about both of their psychology—it was tough…
But from here on, their distance should slowly start to close, so I’ll continue drawing their story little by little.
“men can’t be oppressed” -> men of colour
“white men can’t be oppressed” -> gay men
“heterosexual men can’t be oppressed” -> trans men
“cis-het men can’t be oppressed” -> intersex men
“perisex men can’t be oppressed” -> disabled men
“able-bodied men can’t be oppressed” -> neurodivergent men
“cis-het perisex white able-bodied neurotypical men can’t be oppressed” -> buddy let me tell you about wealth and class and homelessness and immigrants and minority languages and cultures and being a child and being an elderly person and and and
we can keep doing this all day but the reality of the world is that very few people don’t face any kind of oppression at all and everyone exists in a complicated, intersecting web where they have privileges over some people in some contexts and some others are have privilege over them in other contexts. no one individual is incapable of enacting oppression and if you think that about yourself you need to go away and interrogate that belief.
I can name a class that isn’t oppressed.
