This is getting so blatant as to be highly embarrassing to western officials. This is the lamentable state of affairs in the western world today, one which it has gotten itself into several times previously in this century, notably immediately after 9/11 and then again on several occasions as regime change wars of choice were pursued. Like being only partially pregnant only having partial integrity is a rather dubious state of affairs. The decline to no integrity at all in an ‘All’s Fair in Love and War’ scenario is quite precipitous and that is where we find ourselves now. Russiagate was part of this too of course, the bending of facts to fit the news required due to the justification that an electoral accident brought a profoundly uncouth ogre to power was deemed justification enough. But how to recover from such presstitution? Having reached the absolute bottom of the barrel in a post-fact society do you then simply begin to swim in the dregs you find there? I get the distinct impression that is more or less exactly what is happening. The 24-hour news cycle demands ever more of the same and exaggeration and pushing accusations and viewpoints, opinion, speculation and allegation add much grist to the mill. It just takes discovering who or what is the target of the day and really, that gets pretty easy after a while. Then the feeding frenzy on that target’s bones begins and continues while the ratings rise. The big targets become very easy to discern when the big political beasts throw you some meat. Putin stepped on a minefield in 2007 when he blithely said Russia was not on the bus headed for a unipolar world run solely by the USA and its cronies. The signal very definitely went out at that point. Gone were the cordial invitations to gaze into presidential eyes at the White House, the audience with the Queen of England… all that kind of stuff that took place from 2000 to 2007 when he spoke to plainly were never to be repeated. The word went out. The president of Russia became a marked man. The articles, the innuendos, the negativity, every possible piece of venom was saved up especially for him. Then, the world went out that though he was a the target of choice the whole barrage was to be widened to include the entire Russian government. And so it has remained to this day. And now with knobs on. So, when Kiev, assisted via Langley either on the spot of by secure telegraphic means, generates some product from one of its lie factories the full potential for speculation, accusation, opinion, inference, narratives and talking points is realised. The 24-hour news day is filled for a while. Then another juicy bit of fevered imagination and CIA gloss emerges and away we go again. Putin and Russia are fair game with no consequences to be feared in being just as slanderous as you like. No qualifiers such as ‘alleged’ need be bothered with. Russia did this, that or the next thing, Putin planned this, did that and is responsible for whatever the news machine will lap up. War mode forgives a multitude of sins as was seen when all those who got Iraq or Russiagate wrong went directly upstairs to better offices, perks, pay and status. It’s what used to be the world in reverse. believe it or not there was once integrity. Now there is quite plainly none. Anything goes as long as it sells. And right now Ukraine sells. So the demand for its fabrications is high.

2023.06.03 13:46 Professional_Prune11 Human Trauma Section Twelve: Back to Work
Hey Hey Hey buds. We are back at it again with the Alien ER. how was your week? I hope it was good. This week we have our first glimpses of what Martinez's combat experiences were like, i do mean a literal glimpse. I have a couple of chapters to really drive home the day's events in detail later on. We also have shiksie breaking out of her shell a bit today, and get some more insight into how she treats people.
anyways let's get this bread.
---------
Regrettably for Martinez, walking Lysa back to her home would be the last part of his night he would describe as enjoyable in any way. By the time he made it back home, it was well past two in the morning; the few hours of sleep he did manage to get were restless and filled with memories he would rather forget. The events of the night had whipped him back years in his life.
Usually, Martinez would not get night terrors anymore, but they still on occasion reared their ghoulish head. Thankfully Martinez was not able to vividly recall the nightmares from today, but he knows he had them because he woke up in a cold sweat. Whenever they are vivid he feels like garbage for days afterward; He becomes little more than a writhing mass of anxiety and regret wishing if anything he could go back and change what happened. The faces of his brothers contorting and twisting in agony were seared into his mind and soul, the vivid dreams were him going through those events over and over again, as if the grim reaper was showing him a horror movie of his past.
He had been to therapy for years trying to eventually move past the memories of what happened on Verilon. The therapy did help for a while, but eventually, he stagnated and stopped going; he could not accept that he was the only one left, He could not move forward; so he just did his best to keep going on living with the memories, his brother's deaths held tightly on his soul, like a ball and chain.
He still hated that the lowest moment of his life was what the Navy decided was what he should be rewarded for. That bright gold cross on his dress blues was nothing he was proud of, it was just a bitter reminder of his failures; He thought it might as well be a cruel joke life had for him.
The last time he had thought about Verilon was a few months before he arrived here on Draun; He had heard through the grapevine that his old unit was getting ready to start building up to redeploy there. He was glad he was reassigned so he did not have to return to that hell-blasted desert world. He had his turn in the sandbox, it was someone else's chase to spend a year there.
After having woken up three separate times throughout the night, Martinez had given up on getting any sleep at all. He only had two hours left until he had to go to work anyways, the few hours of sleep would not make a difference to his well-being anyways.
He took to answering some of the questions Shiksie had given him, but focusing on the intricate details of alien anatomy while completely lacking sleep was not easy by any means, the words on the datapad were twisting and blurring into one another. Before he knew where the time went, the shrill beeping of his alarm clock had already started to fill the apartment.
As he idly went and got ready for the day, he was glad he did not try to get Lysa to stay the night. He would have hated her to see him like this, he would rather no one see him like this at all. The fact he felt this made him feel broken, and to him, a woman he had only been on one date with would certainly think the same. Sometimes life has a funny way of working out, he supposed.
Halfway stumbling into work with a yawn Martinez could not wait for the day to be over, he was planning on just going through the motions and doing his best to keep Shiksie off his back. He set himself up in his usual corner and started to read from the datapad; In all of Martinez’s experience if you looked busy, or at least looked like you were doing what those over you wanted, they would likely leave you alone.
Surprisingly the one who threw a wrench into that plan was Therin. The small avian alien had spotted Martinez as soon as he entered and scooted his chair nearby. Therin tapped Martinez on the thigh.
“So how was your night?” Therin chirped. Hoping his little ploy from the previous night worked out well. They were busy at the shop last night and he was about to leave when the police called, but the cop mentioned Martinez and his Aviex girlfriend were on a date; He just could not help himself to mess with the new guy and maybe push him towards spending some more time with someone other than Shiksie, or Ivorn.
You would know how it went you little shit, Marinez thought as he tucked the datapad back into his scrubs pocket and then turned towards his co-worker
Therin looked at Martinez, his feathers slightly puffed up. He stood on the chair and got slightly closer to Martinez Intently looking Martinez over. Therin took particular interest in the small circle of healing puncture wounds on his Human compatriot's shoulder. “What did your lady friend do to you?” He asked jokingly.
“Therin you already know what happened, I got into a fight” Martinez grumbled. Not wanting to have the prodding bird ask further into the rest of the evening. He already knew that Aveix, where hated and did not doubt Therin knowing about him and Lysa’s more intimate time, would be trouble.
“Oh come on new guy, I'm asking about after I was on the phone with the cops” Therin replied, “Did you have a nice evening?”
Martinez stepped slightly away from Therin. “Look man, I had a long night. Nothing happened after the fight” Martinez groaned
Therin shook his head and tapped his wing claw on Martinez’s shoulder. “Those little marks I can see tell me otherwise” he chirped
Dammit, I was hoping those were not visible, Martinez thought. Martinez had always worn slightly larger scrubs than he needed to out of comfort, he did not make much effort to hide the bite mark on his trap, but it's not like it's anyone else's business who he goes on a date with anyways.
“I mean it, nothing else happened,” Martinez growled. Hoping Therin would get the hint and drop the subject.
“Oh yeah, whatever you say new guy” Therin chuckled “So when is the wedding?”
“Fuck off Therin,” Martinez said jokingly, pushing Therins chair away from him with his boot “Don’t you have something better to be doing?”
Therin chuckled a little, before scooting his chair back towards the center desks of the room “Wow you really are Shiksies trainee, you are already acting just like her'' He said before tapping his wing claw on his datapad. Therin wondered what else he might be able to do to mess with Martinez about the events of last night, when he opened the list of current patients he saw his answer.
The bird has more jokes than I thought he would Martinez thought, while pulling back out his data pad. At least Therin was a good sport about who he went out with, unlike those two Urintal did. The fact Therin was giving him a little bit of shit wasn’t surprising, It was in a way customary for the old salts to poke fun at the new guy's love life. At this point, Therin was the only one who knew he had gone on a date at all, and he hoped it stayed that way at least with Skiksie; If Ivorn figured it out, Martinez doubted he would care much; Martinez had already met Ivorns chipper girlfriend at his point.
I should get back to studying before Shiksie shows up, Martinez thought as he buttoned his top up a bit higher than he preferred. Martinez did not want the others to see the hickey or dig any more into his private life than he was comfortable with.
—
Shiksie arrived at work excited, she was eager to see what Martinez had managed to study during his time away from work; She had given him what she saw as a small number of questions and things he should have been studying over the weekend. She had always done her best learning when she had a nice calm place to read, at least the new Human hopefully had that allotted to him at his own home.
If he did a good job answering what she had given him, she would hopefully be able to increase the rate of his training; She had no idea how long he was going to be here but she wanted to get Martinez certified as a basic Interspecies technician as soon as possible; Getting Martinez that certification would be a great boon for the shop, she and the others could then allow him to assess class green patients without their oversight.
When she entered, something was off in the shop. She could hear Therin and Ivorn chatting happily about their weekends, but the place smelled horrible. A rancid combination of stem cells, iron, pine, the same strange scent Martinez gave off when she knew he was agitated. She initially assumed Martinez just had forgotten to wear his scent suppressors, but when she rounded the corner and saw the massive gash and pink hemostatic gel on the human's face she knew something was definitely off.
Getting closer to Martinez, Shiksie was still nervous about being around him; She felt slight twinges of fear of him striking at her, or her overstepping and boundaries she had yet to learn. While they had managed to build a shaky but cordial relationship at best, she would rather not jeopardize what they do have.
The Human smelled like he had when they had their meeting, along with his heart pounding extremely quickly.
Is he nervous about something? Shiksie thought as she made it next to him, once again without him noticing. She wondered if she should stop sneaking around him, but she would rather not bother the Human whenever she could. Assuming her mere presence was more often than not a bother to the man.
She peered over his shoulder to catch a glance at what he was currently studying. It surprised her, he had quite a few tabs open on the datapad, but the current one was her list of questions. Most of them had not been answered, but he was flicking back and forth between the list and the other tabs searching for answers.
Shicksie could not help but feel her tail sway a bit faster, the fact that he was doing what she asked was certainly progress in repairing their abysmal start to working together. She walked past him, and headed towards her desk; With the human still not having noticed her entrance.
Shiksie decided to not dig into whatever had Martinez on edge, even if she was worried that it has him so unsettled. She assumed if Martinez wanted to talk to her about it, he would do so; most species did that after all, and humans were supposed to be rather social; even if Martinez seemed a bit more… reserved, he was still Human at the end of the day.
Later in the Morning Dr. Harnsis arrived and the crew had their pass down from the night shift regarding any patients that were already in rooms. They only had a Urintal in one of the rooms. He had a broken jaw and dozens of other fractures across the rest of his body. From the briefing, Shiksie knew the Urintal was caught up in some fight the previous night, but with no injuries that were directly life-threatening, He would be perfect practice for Martinez. The Urintal had surgery on his jaw and was still asleep from the heavy painkillers that night shift had pumped into the Lizard-like Alien.
“I will take over the treatment of the Urintal,” Shiksie said, jumping on the chance to treat the patient that was already here. The Urintal were a green species that had been in the Galactic Union for thousands of years. It would be a perfect chance to have Martinez assess a patient and go through the discharge process.
“Very well Shiksie, you, Therin, and Martinez handle that first. The patient should be ready to leave within the hour” Harnsis Chittered as he pointed at the two of them with his larger forelimbs.
Shiksies' ears twitched when Martinez groaned and muttered under his breath. It was rare she mishears someone, but she did not understand why Martinez was muttering he would rather not. She glanced over and saw that therein was patting Martinez on the shoulder reassuring him of something.
What the hell happened? Shiksie thought as she walked toward the two of them.
“Martinez, pull up the patient's charts and their species data; You will be giving myself and Therin a briefing on the species before we go into the room. Do you understand?” Shiksie asked.
Martinez pulled out his datapad, and lazily saluted “I will get it ready” he groaned, before tapping on the screen.
Shifting her attention towards Therin. The bird looked up at her and tilted his head slightly. “What's up Shiksie? Do you need something from me?” Therein chirped.
Shiksie was not sure about what happened but she had to know what she was about to step into. “Yes I do, follow me,” She said flatly before turning around and walking away. Therein following quickly behind.
Once the two of them were well out and away from the center of the shop, far enough that Shiksie was certain Martinez would not hear them. She turned around and knelt in front of Therin. The bird looked at ease like he normally did. Shiksie had never seen anything disturb Therin over the last few years; Therein always just shrugged most issues off, or would on occasion try to pull pranks at others' expense, much to her chagrin. She wanted to make sure the situation was the former and not the latter.
“Therin, does Martinez’s injury have anything to do with that Urintal?” She asked as she leaned her hands on her knees.
Therin fluttered his wings and puffed out his plumage; faking offense to the question. He did not want Shiksie to ruin his chance to see the drug-hazed Urintal being treated by the person who put them in the hospital. He was hoping that Urintal would freak out and try to run away.
“I have no idea, Martinez did not tell me anything at all about what happened,” Therin lied.
Shiksie gave Therin an ice-cold glare that was as sharp as any scalpel. She did not believe the bird at all, he was far too obvious when faking anything. “Therin, I know you are lying. I can hear your heart rate increasing, and I know you aren't afraid of me like Martinez is” Shiksie sighed.
Therin only increased his bolstering refusing to let Shiksie stop his only good joke on the new guy stop before it even started “I mean It, I don't know anything that happened, Why do you assume I know more?”
“Because your pranks are seldom if ever funny, it's clear enough you know more” Shiksie said, tapping her finger on her knee. She looked up behind Therin towards Martinez who was still diligently reading from his datapad, she did not want Martinez to be freaked out and leave. She had caused that with a new trainee once, and Therin once as well. “If anything bad happens to Martinez out of this, I'm holding you accountable, Got it?” She hissed.
Therin backed up and swallowed his spit. He would rather not piss Shiksie off but with the video of Martinez throttling the Urintal he had seen before work. He had no doubt nothing bad would happen to the Human.
“Don't worry Shiksie nothing bad will happen” Therin said.
Shiksie stood towering over Therin, She shook her head. Therin was too stubborn and she knew it, If he wanted a prank to happen it would. No matter how twisted she might think it is. She also wasn’t so stupid as to not pick up on the implied admittance she managed to get out of Therin. “Come on, you are going to be doing this assessment with him after all,” Shiksie said, gesturing towards Martinez.
Shiksie and Therin returned to Martinez as he was finishing his initial reading of the needed information. He initially hoped it was just a coincidence that another Urintal would be here, but once he saw the scans of the patient's bones, he had no doubt his next patient was going to be the man he and Lysa kicked the crap out of the previous night.
He could recall each hit he had seen on the Urintal and was able to point out what ones were his and what ones had to be Lysa’s. The amount of damage was surprising, and the number of fractures was unreal; nearly every rib, and limb had at least one fracture if not more.
Hopefully, this asshole is way too dusted to recognize me, Martinez thought as he looked up at Shiksie and prepared to give the summary of the patient and the Urintal species as a whole.
Shiksie paid close attention to every word Martinez said, Holding tightly onto them. The majority of his summary on the Urintal was accurate; A few mistakes here and there, but he did not have the summary of all the green species memorized as she had. She offered a few corrections but the errors would not affect anything.
Then the summary of the patient's wounds and needed treatment came up, Martinez gripped the datapad tightly and had to periodically pause to take a deep breath. His heart rate would suddenly accelerate. She leaned in closer and got a good view of the Humans dark bark-colored eyes, whenever he paused she saw the vibrant brown was far smaller than normal; He had that same look in his eye from when he took a fighting stance in the storage room with her.
She looked over at Therin, the bird either did not notice how uncomfortable Martinez was or simply did not care.
What the hell are you trying, She thought as she started to boil. She was not about to let whatever was going on happen, at first it might have been him trying a prank, but Therins short-sightedness might get the Human or the Urintal hurt.
“Stop,” Shiksie said as she carefully reached her hand out and rested it on Martinez’s shoulder. Martinez recoiled when she touched him, being pulled back from whatever trance he was in. She gently patted his shoulder “Martinez come with me” She said flatly.
Martinez looked up at her sweat rolling off his brow. “Uhh, are you sure? We haven't even seen the patient yet?” he meekly said in protest.
Shiksie had worked with soldiers and police officers enough to know Martinez had some kind of Trauma, and these events were obviously triggering something. The patient can be handled by Therin, while she figures this out. His training be damned, his health came first; even if he likely did not want her to intervene.
“Yes I am sure,” Shiksie purred. She pulled the datapad out of his hands “I need you to come with me now”
She passed the data pad to Therin and glared at the small bird, Therin looked like he was trying to hold back laughter about the state Martinez was in.
I will pluck out your feather you little bird, Shiksie thought. She always thought Therin was a reliable nurse, and a decent friend to have small talk with; but not much else.
“Therin, go ensure the patient gets out of here,” Shiksie said.
Therin looked like he was about to protest the interruption to his idea of a joke, but even Therin did not want to mess with Harnsis’ right hand. Her icy glare had him skittering off toward the patient's room.
“Come with me Martinez, '' Shiksie said softly, doing her best to seem unopposing to him.
Martinez grumbled slightly, he did not want to have to spend more time alone with Shiksie. At least today she seemed to be slightly less forceful with him. The two of them walked out of the office, Martinez saw Shikise pull out her datapad and send a message off to someone, he assumed it to likely be Harnsis. He hoped whatever Shiksie had sent wasn’t going to reflect badly on him. He had knuckled down through his PTSD and episodes to treat patients before, he has never really had the choice not to do so, at this point it has just become a habit.
Once the two of them were out of the building Shiksie led Martinez towards one of the small gardens that was nearby to the building. It was just a simple fountain that had some benches nearby. A ring of well-kept flower beds surrounds it, this time of year they were in full bloom; dozens of vibrant colors swaying like waves as the wind gently pushed on them. Shiksie had always liked it out here, it was not uncommon for her to eat lunch or take a break out here after a particularly nasty patient or situation.
“Would you like to take a seat?” Shiksie asked Martinez while gesturing towards the nearest bench.
Martinez did not say a word, but at least for the moment his heart rate had gone down slightly and he seemed more calm. She was overjoyed that she seemed to be right on the money and that it had something to do with that Urintal that was setting him off.
“Would it be alright If I have a seat as well?” Shiksie asked, still treading carefully around Martinez and his need for boundaries.
The look Martinez gave her was a surprise, it was a strange mixture of shock and confusion. Like he was amazed, Shiksie was asking for permission to do anything.
“Yeah go ahead,” Martinez said, scooting to the far side of the bench as Shiksie sat down nearby.
“So would you want to tell me what happened with the Urintal?” Shiksie asked.
Martinez groaned, he should have figured the moment the icy cat had stopped him she knew something was wrong. He was in no way going to tell her every vivid detail of his previous night, nor did he want her of all people to know the details of what happened in his past. The fact those two events were stacked on each other was just a lot for the sailor to tackle at once.
“I would really rather not, but I assume based on my injuries you probably already know something,” Martinez said
Shiksie sighed, leaned forward, and rested her elbows on her knees. She looked away and at the fountains flowing water, already well aware that just looking at Martinez had upset him before. She wanted him to feel safe and able to talk if he wanted.
“I have my assumptions, but nothing concrete,” Shiksie replied. “I would like it if you trusted me enough to talk about anything bothering you”
Martinez wondered if she truly meant that, She had done a lot to try and help him be welcome; That does not mean she should be fully trusted though.
“Shiksie I just want to get back to work,” Martinez said with a deep sullen tone. Shiksie could still easily smell the sheer amount of adrenaline oozing out of him.
“Listen I'm not going to force you to tell me about it, I just know you want to. You would not have followed me if not” Shiksie replied, “let's just sit here for a while, you can just tell me anything you feel comfortable with, alright?”
Martinez shifted awkwardly and looked towards Shiksie. The fact she looked almost as bad as he did was something he was not used to seeing from her. She was looking off at the far side of the fountain, her tail and ears were more still than he had ever seen them.
Maybe she is not as cold as I made her out to be, Martinez thought.
The two of them sat there in silence for a while, neither certain how long it was but eventually Martinez resumed talking. Shiksies' ears twitched to listen in on what had happened. Martinez walked her through the events of the previous night, but he left out what his dreams had been about. He just told her that the whiplash of going from a nice relaxing date to being in a fight for his life had brought up bad memories from when he was in the Navy.
Shiksie was surprised by the story she heard. She did not expect Martinez to have started to date so quickly, She felt that thorn in her side remembering how badly she messed up with meeting him; Not that she wanted to date Martinez, but the fact he was so easy to get along with just showed her how badly she failed. The most shocking part was how he hospitalized two Urintal, one completely on his own. She just had a few more things about the previous night she wanted to ask.
“Why did you jump into the fight so willingly?” Shiksie asked.
Martinez sighed slightly unsure of the answer himself. He immediately thought it might have been “because it was the right thing to do” but even he knew that wasn’t the whole answer. He felt guilty about not being able to help in the past, and he would be damned if he could stop something bad before it happened.
“I'm not sure” Martinez lied, he just did not want to tell Shiksie about his previous fights with the Human Navy.
“That's alright, we don't always do,” Shiksie said. She thought back to her own parents, how she was still to this day unsure why they sacrificed themselves, or even why the accident caused that sacrifice to happen.
Shiksie looked back at Martinez for the first time since they sat down. Her usually sharp predatory features seemed far softer than before. She did not even hear Martinez’s heart run away when they made eye contact.
Martinez smiled softly back at her, his usually fiery glower a much duller blaze. It wasn't the usual inferno she saw in him, more akin to a tired dwindling flame.
Before she had a chance to say anything else she felt her datapad ringing indicating a call. Looking at the screen, her own heart sank. Why is the director calling me?
-----------
So what did you think? lemme here it I love to talk to you all. updoot if you liked.
side note: I am planning out my next project to be a offshoot set on Verilon, in the current day of the story.

2023.06.03 11:00 hauntedmornings my dear, my darling
I am too scared to talk to you. I hope you understand. Did you mean your apology? I miss you and your smell and your songs. No one reads to me or calls me the sweet names you did. I see you at the bus stop. First I was scared and barely 17 again. Now I go the places we went hoping to see you. I have to remind myself what you did and what you said. Sometimes I dream about us getting out of here together. I wonder if I was special. If there were others that were underage. Did you call us the same nicknames. Did you really hate me. I don’t want to believe you are all the things people said you are. I want to believe I knew you. I’m sorry I can’t talk to you. I’m too scared of falling into the same thing that happened before. I wish I could tell you everything I was going through. I don’t know if I could trust you. I wonder if you’d recognize me. Seven years later. I hope you’re okay. I want to tell you everything that’s happened since. I want you the read to me at the park or the cemetery. I want to know what you think of my outfit. I want to drink too much and fall asleep a your feet like a cat. I hope you don’t see this and I hope you do. I hope you had a good birthday.
I wrote this a month ago. I’m home alone, back from a funeral. I need you right now. my boyfriend brought me flowers and my sister and I talked about our abuse. but I need you.

2023.06.03 10:42 SavingsSyllabub7788 [NoP Fanfic] Predatory Farming
Thanks to "Sithking Zero" on the NoP Discord for editing help.
Memory transcription subject: Tellek , Farmer
Date [standardized human time]: January 19th, 2137
Has it really come to this, am I really this desperate?
I was, for all intents and purposes, broke. The last harvest had been terrible, in addition to the one before that, which was practically a deathblow for my new farmstead. The debts and missed payments had started to pile up, and I was one more bad harvest away from going completely bankrupt.
Like so many farmers before me, I was becoming another victim of the 5 harvest curse.
I told you that starting a new farm was a bad idea.
What was I supposed to do, brain, keep working in the office until I died?
I sat on my chair, surrounded by other farmers who were presumably in similar states of desperation, the room we were in akin to the schoolrooms I had been in as a pup; a desk and whiteboard up front sitting in front of the rows of chairs. Most of the twenty or so figures around me were fellow Venlil, except for a handful of Gojid and even a single Yotul who was sitting in the back, all of us awaiting the start of the ‘lesson’.
They claimed they had a solution to our problem, that they knew how to increase our yields. How could a predator know how to fix our farming issues?.
Human. Human Human Human Human. Not a predator.
Yes yes I know, I’m trying to be better about that.
I stopped my train of thought and corrected myself. Ever since the revelations about many of our allies being former predators, I had been making an effort to stop thinking of the world in terms of predator and prey. It was difficult at times, but given that I was working against a lifetimes worth of lies, I thought I was making good progress..
But even if “Predator” wasn’t the curse it used to be, how could a human claim to know how to fix our farming issues? Even if we ignored the differences between our diets, for all their advantages, humans were still far below our technological advancements.
Almost on cue, the door to the room opened up, and the figure of the human who had invited us here entered with an enthusiastic bounce, caring two large cases covered with black cloth
Unlike most, this human was unmasked, its piercing eyes and beaming teeth filled smile visible for all to see. I could feel the room start to fill with panic. Sure, logically I knew I was probably safe, but seeing the unmasked features of an apex predator caused fear to grip the edge of my heart.
I could proudly say I can walk past and interact with masked humans without wanting to flee anymore, but seeing those forward-facing eyes boring a hole into my soul was another task altogether.
Come on, you should be better than this.
I’m trying, ok!
"Hello everyone. My name is Joseph. I'm an ecology student, and I'm here to provide a solution to your farming yields." The human spoke with an unbridled joy, seeming to wait a moment while our translators attempted to explain what Ecology was, stopping half way through and seemingly giving up.
“You might be wondering why I’m unmasked, well we’re going to be covering a lot of ‘predatory’ concepts today, so if you can’t handle this? We’re gonna have bigger problems.” Joseph took a moment to broadly gesture to himself, leaving a feeling of dread to start in the pit of my stomach.
If this was just the start, what exactly was going to happen here?
Silence! Wait and see, knowing humans it’s probably interesting at the very least.
“I’ve finally been given authorization to start a trial of this program. Both the UN and Venlil governments are very interested in increasing food supply for both our people. As you might know we’re kinda at war, and logistics wins wars.”
The human paused for a moment, a shiver running around most of the room as he gave a large beaming smile.
“So to start: paws, claws, or tails up if you know about the ‘5 harvest curse.’”
The room immediately was filled with Federation species all raising their prospective limbs in affirmation. Of course we all knew what it was, that was why most of us were here.
How would the human know about that?
Basic research, simple reading, asking literally any farmer?
“Fantastic! I’m still going to explain it so we’re all on the same page. The ‘5 harvest curse’ is a phenomenon where new farms on Venlil prime often fail within the first five harvests. On a side note, the coincidental fact that five has a religious contention in Venlil culture is neat.”
I could feel an annoyance start to course through me, that the affliction currently driving me to destitution was being described as ‘neat’ by the callous predator. I mean human.
Stupid human.
Joseph either didn’t pick up or ignored my annoyance as he pressed a button, a graph appearing on the whiteboard showing expected yields over time, continuing on in his seemingly endless enthusiasm.
“So in general the five harvest curse follows a standard pattern of yields, with the first two harvests being up to 52% larger than even more established farms, plummeting after that until the business is non-viable and collapses. Officially the reason for this is unknown, with some vague religious stupidity about new farms being too far away from the center of the habitable strip.”
This was nothing new to me, I remembered feeling the joy of the sheer output from my first harvest, of wondering if I could finally make something of myself, a joy that had been whittled down as my last two harvests had been pitiful.
“However there’s an interesting thing, if you also plot the number of predator sightings during this time against the yields, you can see a direct correlation between number of predators and the success of each harvest.”
Wait, what? Is this human trying to say that predators… increase harvest? That can’t be right, that can’t be right at all. That would be insanity.
The data is literally there in front of you.
Yet it was there on the screen, a second graph had appeared on the whiteboard, tracking predator sightings over time in each of the farms afflicted by the curse.
“This tracks with most farms' general lifecycle. You buy a plot of untamed land on the edge of the habitable zone but you don’t have enough money to go full anti-predator. As the harvests come in you end up spending more and inadvertently messing it up.”
This caused a small amount of murmuring and energetic rejection by myself and the other members of the room, wiping away the previous undercurrent of fear. It was insanity, it went against everything I had ever known or been taught about farming and how the world worked. How could a predator of all things be beneficial?
Didn’t the introduction of humans also go against everything I had ever known or been taught about?
“If this effect is so obvious, how has nobody found this before?”
The sound of a Venlil challenging Joseph was greeted by murmurs of agreement from the group, causing the human to give a different kind of smile. Not a smile of joy or excitement as had been seen before, but the smile of someone who had something for this.
“Because you have. 150 years ago, a Venlil named Slavek wrote a paper regarding this. 119 years ago, Vicktal did the same. As well as Traval, Stralan, and Vilkin in between then and now. Those are just the ones I’ve found. Who can guess what happened to them?”
There was a pause, before the uplift in the back spoke up for the first time, a surety in the Yotul’s voice.
“They were diagnosed with predator disease.”
Joseph pointed at the Yotul in the back with both hands, the joy radiating from him.
“Based Space Kangaroo gets 10 points for being correct! Yep the federation has been actively suppressing anything that suggests that predators are more than some kind of eldritch evil, that and your surprising lack of hydroponics causes most planets to be dependent on the core worlds for food imports. Probably by design for control.”
Wait… that’s a good point, why aren’t we using hydroponics?
The human took a moment to switch to the next slide, showing a simple three part cycle.
“Most healthy ecological systems are made up of three parts: Plants, which are eaten by herbivores, which are in turn eaten by carnivores. In reality actual systems are far more complex than these, but as a basic understanding this will suffice. These three parts keep each other in check, each part dependent on the other, which-”
“Are you trying to say that predator attacks are a good thing? Are you suffering from predator disease?! ”
The Venlil interrupted once again to more murmured agreement, causing Joseph to give a sigh of clear annoyance in response. I wished the Venlil would shut up and just let the human talk.
“No, I’m not suggesting we airdrop a bunch of Nissa into the Capital, I'm explaining how natural systems work. Sapience obviously breaks this cycle, which if you deviate too far, you end up with something called trophic cascade."
The human seemed to wait a moment for the translator to once again fail to explain the meaning of the phrase.
I wonder how many basic concepts the federation lacks words for…
"Rather simply, the removal of one of these pieces has wider effects, reducing biodiversity and in many cases causing a complete ecological collapse. An example of this is the dust bowl effect, something the federation is well acquainted with."
There was a moment before the whiteboard changed before showing pictures of desolate barren worlds. Without any explanation I knew exactly what I was looking at. It was one of the… lesser talked about aspects of the federation.
"The Skivit grand herd are a species who go from planet to planet stripping ecosystems bare, devouring everything down to the smallest sapling. This removes important root systems that act as drainage, causing flooding and deserts to form as new plantlife lacks the structure to grow. In many cases these ecosystems are permanently destroyed, turning once lush planets into lifeless husks”.
I couldn’t help but feel sorrow for those planets. It was well known the impact the Skivit had on planets, once thriving planets of beauty. Although if I was following this human’s logic correctly did that mean…
“Now I’m not suggesting that the Skivit need a predator, that would be immoral.” Joseph cut off the thought I was about to have, seemingly understanding the logical thought many of us had picked up on. “But instead this is a real life example of damage an unchecked herbivore can have on ecosystems. If the Skivit didn’t have FTL travel they would have long ago driven themselves to starvation under their current society. It’s also not the only form of this trophic cascade.”
“Surely this doesn’t just apply to prey? Or are you saying prey are somehow inferior?”
The sound of the Gojid cutting in was filled with an unspoken challenge against the idea, inciting general sounds of agreement from those around him. Surprisingly however, Joseph seemed to respond positively.
“That is entirely correct, an overabundance of carnivorous species can also cause their own issues. Keep in mind what I’m describing here is an extremely simplified version, just the addition or removal of a single species can cause untold damage and harm to the diversity of ecological systems as the impacts are felt in the most seemingly unlikely cases.”
With that the human reached under the desk, taking one of the two covered containers he had brought with him and placing it into view.
“In Venlil Prime’s case, while the impact of Federation thinking has been reduced due to the day and night sides being mostly untouched, you still have the problem of overpopulation of certain species, and a lack of reasonable fear response from certain prey species. This has accumulated into the problem you all face.”
With that he removed the cover, causing a surge of fear to ripple through the participants around me until we all calmed down at what was underneath: A small cage, containing a single red bird busily eating seeds.
All farmer’s arch nemesis.
“This is a Flowerbird, a seed eating avian often coming in solid red, blue, or green. They are adorable, dumb as a sack of bricks and food motivated to a fault. They are also one of the biggest causes of farm yield destruction, with these birds alone being responsible for around about 41% of all losses. If we include Voidpins and other similar wildlife, farms can have up to 94% of their yield destroyed before they even get to harvest.”
Everyone in this room was familiar with the cursed avians. While your average city dweller would enjoy the sight of a flock of Flowerbirds, the farming community knew of them as a blight that devastated crops.
Joseph took a moment to open the cage, reaching inside and grabbing the bird. A small part of me wondered if he was about to devour it in front of us, before I tamped down on such an illogical idea. Of course the humans wouldn’t, we knew they didn’t do that. The Flowerbird also seemed completely unfazed about being in the meaty grasp of a predator, simply continuing to eat.
“Even worse, these things have basically zero fear response to noises and large beasts, probably due to all major predators having been removed. As you can see this specimen doesn’t mind a ‘scary predator’ grabbing it. As long as it has food, it couldn’t care less. This makes pest control tricky, as scaring them away is no longer an option. Poisons would be used in such a case, but they can have wider ranging effects, and poisoning prey is considered ‘Predatory’, not that many of you haven’t tried ‘accidentally’ leaving potential pesticides out.”
This caused a sway of discomfort to sweep through the room, tails switching in guilty movements as everyone tried to hide the truth of this human’s words. I knew I personally had considered such actions in desperation.
I mean, would ‘accidently’ leaving out a known poisonous chemical really be a sign of predator disease?
“Ha! I know enough tail language to know I’m right, that’s guilt isn’t it? I’ve read your internet, I know your discussions on loopholes about what is and isn’t predatory!” Joseph cried out in triumph as many of the Venlil of the room reached out to grab their traitorous appendages. “Now normally I would just tell people to stop being idiots, but in this case we can’t do that. Ironically because predators are actually dangerous. Because of your slaughter the only species left are ones aggressive and smart enough to survive. Shadestalkers are legitimately dangerous and can’t be left to interact with the farming community because people will die.”
The words from Joseph all sounded so… reasonable at this point. However, I, along with the rest of the room, were all desperately waiting for the other paw to drop. Because there would be, humans always had something they were about to do.
Almost in response to our thoughts the human placed the second container on the desk, covering up the first in response.
“Humans have dealt with this problem in a simple way, a way that our Yotul friend over there will know of. I need all of you to please remain calm and orderly, and to remember that you’re perfectly safe and there’s no need to overreact or panic. Humans dealt with this pest problem, through the use of safe predators.”
Before anyone could properly react to those words, the cover of the second container was removed, showing… a predator. An actual one, not a human but an actual real threat. Small piercing front facing yellow eyes attached to a brown feline form, sulking from the cage it was being held in.
Speh speh speh speh that’s a PREDATOR, A FERAL PREDATOR
If it was a danger the human wouldn't have-
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO DO NOT LIKE NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
The panic in the room was immediate. Sapient human predators we had gotten used to, but none sapient ones were another deal entirely. Chaos started to spread as the 7 in the front row got up, pushing themselves up against the back wall as everyone else in the room did the same. Three Venlil made the choice to bolt out of the room, rushing past the human and his tiny devourer, while another clean fainted, hitting the floor with a thud. One even decided to take things further, jumping out of the singular window attached to the far wall in a frantic motion.
I could feel fear overwhelm me, desperately staring at the feline and waiting for it to make its move. What was the human thinking, it was going to attack at any moment, it was going to-
“STOP, Stop this stupidity. Right. NOW!”
The stern commanding voice of Joseph caused everyone in the room to freeze. The calm enthusiastic demeanor of the predator was gone, replaced with an emotion I’d never actually seen a human show before: anger.
“It has been six months! Do you really still believe that the UN or the Venlil government would put you in actual danger? You’re still thinking based on your stupid fascist Federation propaganda. Thinking that tells you that the Yotul are primitive, or the Venlil are weak. Propaganda that says genetically modifying people against their will is morally OK”
I knew that humans normally bared their teeth in joy, as a sign of happiness and friendship. This wasn’t the case right now, as everything in Joseph’s body language screamed of rage, of pain, of words spoken through gritted teeth. Nobody in the room was focused on the predator in the cage at this point, instead all eyes staring at the human. Suddenly the feline mattered a lot less than the anger of the human.
“That sort of thinking leads to the belief that killing over a billion innocent people is somehow the right thing to do. You are all presumably intelligent sapient adults able to think things through logically. Could you all please act that way?”
I could see the swishes of shame from the other Venlil’s tails, everyone in the room avoiding eye contact guiltily. Well, apart from the Yotul, who had remained seated and calm this entire time, staring almost joyfully at the feline predator. The human, of course, was completely right. Taking a moment to force myself to think, the predator was safely behind metal bars and was making no move to attack, seemingly content to stare lazily at us.
You finished overreacting?
Shut up, brain.
“Also, at the risk of ruining the angry vibe I’m giving off, is the guy who jumped out the window OK? Jesus Christ, we are two stories up, do we have to call someone or….”
Joseph had relaxed a little in response to the group calming down, allowing the normal empathetic nature of humans to come through once more. Slowly I made my way to the window, looking down to see a singular Venlil running off into the distance.
“I-I think he’s fine.” I responded, causing the human to give a sigh of relief in response.
“Good. Note to self, do this in a room without windows next time… or maybe just the ground floor. So, to continue where I left off, humans have used tame predators as a natural non-invasive form of pest control since we started farming. This is a cat, completely harmless unless you’re a small rodent or bird. They also have this effect.”
With a flourish Joseph removed the covering for the cage containing the Flowerbird once more, the red little avian had been busily eating during the entire presentation so far. However upon spotting the Feline predator did something none of us had ever seen before.
It stopped eating. Wait, the human managed to get a Flowerbird to stop eating! I didn’t even know that was possible…
Giving repeated alarmed chirps it moved as far away as it could from the predator, still trapped inside the small cage, a frantic fear obvious on the poor little thing. Joseph let this go on for a few moments more, before dropping the cover back on and silencing the Flowerbird once more.
Everyone in the room was shocked. You could literally scream and shout all you wanted at the dumb little birds and they would ignore you and continue to devour crops. The fact that the feral predator had managed to stop the bird from doing that simply with its presence… was huge. Was more than huge.
“As you can see, the instincts of the ‘prey’ animal still remain. Presumably, whatever predator used to hunt these Flowerbirds has a resemblance to our cats. Normally it would be sacrilege to suggest introducing cats to an ecosystem, but in this case your ecosystems are so messed up that’s exactly what we want to do: Provide any farmer who wants one with a kitten, in order to quickly reduce yield lost to pests.”
I would be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t interested. On the one hand having a vicious predator in my house, where my pups would visit seemed like something a predator diseased individual would only consider. On the other hand, nothing else I had ever tried had even come close to the simple effectiveness shown here.
Would I be this desperate and in debt if I had one of these “cats” already?
“So I can see you’re all still a little worried, so we’re going to have a little discussion, for which I need a volunteer-'' The Yotul in the back practically fell over with excitement, with his arm raised immediately as he interrupted, causing Joseph to give a small smile. “One who isn’t a Yotul. I know your history with similar pets, and we are totally going to hook you up with a cat, but for this I could do with a Venlil please.”
The Yotul sat back down, a look of disappointment plastered over his face as the rest of the room shifted uncomfortably. Nobody wanted to be the person to step up and presumably get closer to the predator. Until I found myself raising my hand.
Brain, what the hell are you doing?
You said you wanted to be better, and we’re desperate.
NOT LIKE THIS BRAIN!
In a blur I found myself being introduced to the room and being told to sit at a chair next to the desk in front of the rest of the members here. Then, to my horror, Joseph opened the cage and took the feline predator out of its holding cell. The human took a few moments to fuss over the beast before turning to the rest of us.
“So now that we have our volunteer, let's logically look at our ‘dangerous predator’. The first thing to notice is simply the size. Regardless of anything else, size matters, size matters a lot. It’s hard to feel threatened by something that you can literally throw across the room.”
Joseph took a moment to hold the small creature next to me for context, highlighting just how small the predator actually was: barely the size of a Skivit, like a furry little pup. Logically if it wasn't for the forward facing eyes, I might consider it… cute?
“But what about its teeth and claws? It’s a predator that will tear people apart!”
The voice of the Gojid sounded out, a shrill fearful voice filled with barely contained panic and fear, the source of the sound looking ready to flee even though they weren’t the one sitting next to the predator
“Let's compare these. Tellek can you please extend your paws and show your claws to the group.”
I did as asked, my four black claws visible for all to see as Joseph moved the predator close. He stretched out one of its paws and pressed on a knuckle, a singular sharp claw protruding as he did so, causing a fresh burst of fear to erupt in my heart from being so close to such a thing.
Although if I was to be fully honest, if I was comparing the two, the predator’s claw were…
“As you can see, the cat’s claw, while sharper, is far smaller and more brittle. A Venlil can do some serious damage with their claws, while the worst this cat’s claw could do is break the skin. The teeth are similar, if you could show the group your pearly whites please.”
I again did as asked, feeling embarrassed and weird just having my mouth wide open in front of everyone. I hoped that there was nothing stuck in my teeth. While I did Joseph manhandled the cat again, taking a moment to move the lips and display the sharp needle point teeth, doing so for a moment before the small predator gave a small lazy growl of annoyance, clearly reaching the end of its acceptability.
“Once again we have similar results: Notice the small size of the cat's teeth compared with the Venlil’s. These would pierce skin, the Venlil’s would pulverize bone. Gojid aren’t much better with your literal claws and a back full of knives. Ironically enough the two ‘predators’ in the room are probably the least physically imposing.”
There was a moment as the room seemed to ponder this statement, allowing Joseph enough time to place the cat on the desk next to me, the predator promptly giving a stretch then curling up into a ball. The human was right, even humans themselves were physically… underwhelming, apart from their endurance. No claws, small teeth, no defensive armor or spines.
It’s kinda sad to think the only reason we’re all so scared of humans is their eye placement.
“Now the UN and Venlil government are looking for people to use cats as pest control to increase farming yield, with an initial trial size of about 100 participants. We’re offering a stipend for food, instructional care of your kitten, and as much support as needed. There are risks, for instance you’re going to need warning signs near your property and a containment system, as cats are actually dangerous to the Dossur.”
I could hardly hear Joseph speak, my entire concentration focused on the predator right next to me. I knew logically that the human wouldn’t do something to bring me to harm, but it was difficult to think that with a potentially feral predator right next to me. I saw its eyes fixate onto mine and I quickly looked away.
Maybe if I don’t look at it, it won’t take it as a challenge.
However much to both mine and the rest of the room's shock, slowly and carefully the cat stood up, stretched once before walking purposefully towards me, the room erupting into cries of worry as it leapt off the desk and onto my lap, curling into a ball with me trapped underneath.
“H-h-help…. Help…..!”
The human turned to look at me, breaking into a smile seemingly at my misfortune and giving a small chuckle.
“Awwww, she likes you. As you all can see cats share a lot of characteristics with ‘prey’. They will often seek companionship from others, and have a lot of prey characteristics, being at times skittish due to having many natural predators.”
That was good and all, but didn’t stop me from being trapped under the beast.
I don’t want to think about what could cause a predator to become prey.
“W-What d-do I do?”
Joseph gave a small shrug in response, clearly amused by my reaction.
“You could try petting her. Her name is Sprinkles and I can confirm she likes pets.”
You see brain, this is what happens when I let you do things! Now I'm trapped by a predator and I'm gonna die!
Stop being such a pup, the thing is tiny. Besides, don't humans claim petting stuff is nice?
Slowly I reached out a paw, gingerly approaching the predator, those yellow slitted eyes regarding my exposed arm as I gently placed it on the "cat", running my paw across its back.
I felt my held breath release as the predator did nothing, some of the tension of the room releasing in the instant.
"So interesting thing about cats: they 'chose' to be domesticated."
Joseph had gone back to talking, seemingly happy that I wasn't about to be torn apart. I had stopped listening, entirely focused on keeping the predator satisfied by running my paws across its fur.
Isn't this nice? I gotta admit I understand why humans like doing this.
Fine. I'll admit that this isn't unpleasant, the cat is rather soft.
"When humans originally started farming, that also attracted pests. Cats just turned up, following their food source. They stuck around because humans would feed them and provide companionship."
I was entirely focused on the cat at this point, running my claws through the fur, feeling the predator press itself against my paw, seeming to be enjoying itself. Gently I moved my claw to the back of one of its tiny little ears, scratching behind it like you might do to comfort a young pup. It started to emanate a low vibrating noise in response, causing another wave of tension to emit from the rest of the room.
For some reason, even though this feral predator was sitting on my lap, the sound seemed to vibrate through my heart in a calming motion.
Maybe this is some kind of predatory hypnosis?
Really? Just shush and enjoy this. Being scared of everything all the time is so tiring.
"Nobody needs to worry. That is just the sound a happy cat makes, it's called purring. Although I do need to take Sprinkles back now."
Joseph motioned towards the cat on my lap, a motion I decided to ignore, enjoying petting the purring cat for a few moments more. Eventually the human reached down and removed Sprinkles from my grasp as I momentarily resisted before letting the feline go.
See, that wasn't so bad.
Brain, I will admit- reluctantly- that I would have preferred to keep doing that.
With a small amount of resentment I watched as Joseph placed the cat back inside the cage, before turning back to the rest of the room.
"So anyone who is interested, stick around and we can get the paperwork completed."
—-------------
In the end eight of us remained, 5 Venlil, 2 Gojid, and obviously the Yotul. We had spent the last half a claw having instructions and paper work thrust upon us. Many of the group had immediately left, with others dropping out as various facts of cat ownership became apparent.
Still, those of us who were left behind were now heading to our respective farms, each with a single carry case. Mine was currently containing a gray and black “kitten,” which had been “meowing” loudly during the entire journey.
I looked simply at the little bundle of fur and eyes that peered out from inside the cage I had been given. Part of my mind still screamed danger, but it was a part that was getting quieter and quieter as I continued to look at what was a small fragile bundle of fur that I was now ultimately in charge of.
How could you look at something that’s hardly bigger than your paw, and think it’s a danger?
As I reached my farm, I finally opened up the container and pulled out the tiny predator. My tiny predator. There would be work to do, fences to erect and warning signs to place, but for now I just held the tiny thing in my paws, supporting it in the way I’d been told to. I now knew why humans spent all their time trying to pet things: with the troubles on the farm I hadn’t felt this calm in several cycles.
He was more energetic then Sprinkles had been, but in a way the more skittish nature pulled at my heartstrings, as if it was a small innocent Venlil pup. I sat there stroking it, realizing I still needed to give him a name. He was fluffy, Tiny, innocent, fragile. Yet with an underlying spice as it continued to meow loudly as I held in my paws
“I will call you Fireberry. My little predator.”

2023.06.03 10:34 late_mauve Walkable Communities in the American South
I currently live in Charlotte, NC, which compared to most of the South, is pretty walkable, but it's still a struggle getting around without a car. I wanna live somewhere where I have freedom of movement without a car, but I don't wanna leave the South.
Basically, I'm wondering if there are any walkable cities in the South, or areas within specific cities that are walkable.
I would prefer to stay in Charlotte or the greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg area, so if y'all have any advice for getting around here without a car, I would love to hear it lol. I know we have CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System), but in my experience, it's been pretty unreliable/inefficient.

2023.06.03 10:20 indian_astrology Understanding Rahu and Ketu Dosha in Astrology
| Astrology is an ancient practice that offers insights into various aspects of life, including the influence of celestial bodies on human beings. Among the many factors considered in astrology, the presence of Rahu and Ketu dosha holds significant importance. In this article, we will delve into the meaning, origins, signs, causes, effects, remedies, and seeking professional guidance for Rahu and Ketu dosha. Astrology believes that the positioning of planets and other celestial bodies at the time of an individual's birth can impact their life journey. Rahu and Ketu are two significant points in Vedic astrology that represent the lunar nodes. They are considered shadow planets that influence various aspects of life. Rahu And Ketu Understanding Rahu and Ketu Dosha Ketu, or the South Lunar Node in Vedic astrology, is a celestial entity that is commonly known to be associated with Rahu. Rahu, in Vedic astrology, represents the shadow side of the universe, while Ketu represents the spiritual side. The presence of Rahu and Ketu in a person's birth chart can influence their life and create a dosha, which refers to an imbalance or affliction. Rahu Dosha: Rahu Dosha develops when Rahu occupies particular birth-chart houses, especially the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house. Rahu is thought to bring difficulties, difficulties, and unfavourable affects in these aspects of life. Depending on the particular house and how other planets are associated with it, the impact of Rahu Dosha can change. Common issues associated with Rahu Dosha include financial troubles, relationship problems, health issues, and career setbacks. Ketu Dosha: Ketu Dosha occurs when Ketu is positioned in certain houses of the birth chart, particularly the first, fifth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth houses. Ketu's influence in these houses can create challenges related to spirituality, relationships, health, and emotional well-being. Ketu is associated with detachment and can lead to a disconnection from worldly desires. People with Ketu Dosha may face difficulties in finding fulfillment in their relationships or may struggle to understand their life's purpose. Remedies for Rahu and Ketu Dosha: In Vedic astrology, there are various remedies suggested to mitigate the negative effects of Rahu and Ketu Dosha in Janam Kundali. These remedies can include: - Worship and prayers: Praying to deities associated with Rahu and Ketu, such as Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, or Goddess Durga, can help alleviate the dosha's effects.
- Mantras and rituals: Chanting specific mantras like the Rahu Mantra or Ketu Mantra can be beneficial. Additionally, performing rituals like Rahu-Ketu puja or Homa (fire ceremony) can help balance the planetary influences.
- Gemstones: Wearing gemstones such as Hessonite (Gomed) for Rahu or Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) for Ketu is believed to bring positive energy and reduce the dosha's impact.
- Donations and charity: Contributing to charitable causes and helping those in need is considered an effective way to counteract the negative effects of Rahu and Ketu Dosha.
- Astrological remedies: Consulting with an experienced astrologer can provide personalized remedies based on the individual's birth chart. These may include specific rituals, fasting on certain days, or wearing specific colors or clothing.
It is important to note that astrology is a complex field, and the interpretation and remedies for Rahu and Ketu Dosha can vary based on individual charts and astrological perspectives. Consulting with a knowledgeable astrologer can provide more accurate insights and guidance tailored to your specific situation. Origins of Rahu and Ketu Dosha Rahu and Ketu Dosha have its roots in ancient Vedic astrology, a branch of astrology that originated in ancient India. Rahu and Ketu, also known as the North and South Lunar Nodes, are considered dark planets in Vedic astrology. The concept of Dosha, meaning an affliction or imbalance, is an integral part of Vedic astrology. The top and lower bodies of a demon by the name of Swarbhanu are said to be Rahu and Ketu, according to Vedic mythology. Swarbhanu attempted to consume the nectar of immortality with the gods during the churning of the cosmic ocean. However, Lord Vishnu, the preserver in Hindu mythology, beheaded the demon just as he was about to consume the nectar. As a result, Rahu and Ketu were born, representing the head and the lower body, respectively. In Vedic astrology, the positioning of Rahu and Ketu in a person's birth chart is considered significant and can influence various aspects of their life. The houses occupied by Rahu and Ketu in the birth chart, along with their association with other planets, determine the potential doshas and their effects. Rahu Dosha and Ketu Dosha are believed to bring challenges, obstacles, and negative influences in specific areas of life. The effects of these doshas can manifest as financial troubles, relationship problems, health issues, career setbacks, or difficulties in finding spiritual fulfillment. The remedies and rituals associated with Rahu and Ketu Dosha have been passed down through generations in Vedic astrology. They are aimed at mitigating the negative effects of these planetary influences and restoring balance and harmony in a person's life. It is important to note that the interpretations and understanding of Rahu and Ketu Dosha may vary among different astrologers and schools of astrology. However, the belief in their existence and the impact they can have on an individual's life remains an integral part of Vedic astrology and its traditions. Impact of Rahu and Ketu Dosha The impact of Rahu and Ketu Dosha can vary based on the placement of these celestial entities in an individual's birth chart and their association with other planets. However, generally speaking, Rahu and Ketu Dosha are believed to bring challenges and obstacles in different areas of life. Rahu Dosha: - Financial troubles: Rahu Dosha can create financial instability, debt, and losses. It may lead to unpredictable financial situations and obstacles in accumulating wealth.
- Relationship problems: Rahu Dosha can cause disturbances in relationships, leading to misunderstandings, conflicts, and separations. It may create a sense of dissatisfaction and disharmony in personal relationships.
- Health issues: Rahu Dosha is associated with health problems, especially those related to the nervous system, mental health, and addiction. It can manifest as anxiety, depression, insomnia, or substance abuse issues.
- Career setbacks: Rahu Dosha may bring obstacles in professional life, hindering progress, and causing career setbacks. It can result in instability, job changes, or difficulties in achieving career goals.
- Emotional challenges: Rahu Dosha can create emotional imbalances, mood swings, and a sense of restlessness. It may affect decision-making abilities and cause confusion or lack of clarity in life.
Ketu Dosha: - Spiritual challenges: Ketu Dosha can lead to a disconnection from worldly desires and a strong inclination towards spirituality. It may create a sense of detachment, making it challenging to find fulfillment in material pursuits.
- Relationship difficulties: Ketu Dosha may bring challenges in forming deep and meaningful relationships. It can create a sense of aloofness or emotional detachment, making it difficult to connect with others on an emotional level.
- Health concerns: Ketu Dosha is associated with health issues related to the digestive system, metabolism, and chronic diseases. It may manifest as digestive disorders, allergies, or immune system imbalances.
- Lack of direction: Ketu Dosha can create confusion regarding life's purpose and direction. It may make it challenging to find clarity about one's goals and aspirations.
- Karmic influences: Ketu Dosha is often associated with past life karma and spiritual growth. It may bring lessons and challenges from previous lifetimes that need to be addressed and resolved in the present.
It's important to remember that the impact of Rahu and Ketu Dosha can be mitigated or enhanced by other factors in the birth chart, as well as individual efforts, choices, and spiritual practices. Consulting with a knowledgeable astrologer can provide deeper insights and guidance tailored to an individual's specific chart and circumstances. Causes of Rahu and Ketu Dosha The causes of Rahu and Ketu Dosha in Vedic astrology are primarily associated with the positioning of Rahu and Ketu in specific houses of an individual's birth chart. The following factors contribute to the formation of Rahu and Ketu Dosha: Placement in certain houses: Rahu Dosha occurs when Rahu is positioned in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth houses of the birth chart. Similarly, Ketu Dosha occurs when Ketu is placed in the same houses. These houses are considered significant and sensitive in Vedic astrology, and the presence of Rahu or Ketu in these houses can create imbalances and challenges. Conjunction with other planets: The association of Rahu or Ketu with other planets in the birth chart can intensify the dosha's effects. Depending on the nature and strength of the planets involved, the influence of Rahu or Ketu can be amplified or modified. Afflictions and aspects: The aspect of other planets on Rahu or Ketu can contribute to the dosha's formation. If malefic planets like Saturn or Mars afflict Rahu or Ketu, it can enhance the negative effects of the dosha. Karmic influences: Rahu and Ketu are often associated with karmic influences and past life experiences. The positioning of Rahu or Ketu in certain houses can indicate unresolved karmic lessons and challenges that need to be addressed in the present life. It's important to note that the interpretation of Rahu and Ketu Dosha can vary among astrologers and different schools of astrology. The severity and effects of the dosha depend on the overall dynamics of the birth chart and the specific planetary combinations present. Consulting with an experienced astrologer can provide a more accurate analysis of the birth chart, including the causes and effects of Rahu and Ketu Dosha, and offer remedies and guidance for mitigating their impact. Effects of Rahu and Ketu Dosha Health Issues Rahu and Ketu dosha can lead to various health problems such as allergies, chronic diseases, hormonal imbalances, accidents, and surgeries.

It may result in obstacles, setbacks, sudden job changes, financial losses, and difficulty in accumulating wealth. Remedies for Rahu and Ketu Dosha Gemstone Therapy Wearing gemstones associated with Rahu and Ketu, such as hessonite garnet and cat's eye, is believed to help mitigate the effects of the doshas.

Regular mantra chanting is believed to bring balance and harmony.

2023.06.03 09:35 fuzzy_zoo 2 female travelers - one from NYC , the other from charlotte NC
My sister and I want a much needed getaway. We would like to go to a relaxing place that also has nightlife bc we need to dance and have fun ! Preferably a beach resort. We’d love to go to Aruba for example bc it’s outside the hurricane belt and we are traveling this August.
The problem is stated in my title. She can either fly to NY and we can go nonstop from there. But that isn’t cost effective. Flying to her and from CLT to Aruba is expensive also.
Any suggestions ? It doesn’t have to be Aruba but would like to go somewhere that the chance of a washout is minimum.

2023.06.03 09:27 Expensive_Thought_40 AITA for ruining vacation because my cat suddenly died?
(English Is my secondary language and I am not from the US)
Me [27F], my Boyfriend [34M] and two of our friends [27 F and 32 M] went on a couples vacation about 2 hours away from our hometown. It was supposed to be a week long stay, from Saturday to saturday.
On Wednesday, so right after 3 days, by BF recieved a tearful call from his mom, my cat sitter, that she found one of my cats dead on the floor. She seemed absolutely healthy and happy the night before and was excited to recieve visitors. We were absolutely devastated, I loved her so much.
Regardless to say, the vacation was over for me. Even if I couldn't do anything to help her live anymore, I couldn't leave her in my apartment for the next days. I called my parents to arrange her funeral.
Now, we told our friends, who were right there when I received the news, that they have two options: they could stay or come with us. The problem is, that I was the only one with a car and we booked a residence at a rather remote location, with the next town being 15 minutes away by car and the bus arriving every two hours. That is also what they said so they started packing. They were not happy.
On the ride home (my BF insisted on driving, so I could process my grief), 27F complained about her lost vacation. My BF answered something neutral but I could hear he was pissed at her complaining.
Now that my cat was buried and a few days have passed I recall the last days. And I want to know, if I was the AH for ruining our vacation? I am still grieving and unhappy with our friends lack of empathy, but I guess it was just a cat for them, which is fine. But I am reconsidering my friendship with them. But maybe they were right to be angry, I don't know anymore.
Edit: I offered my friends compensation so they could rent a car the town over, but they did not want to drive on their own, so they refused. It would have been possible to rent the car and return it back in our hometown as the rental service operates nationwide.

2023.06.03 08:04 Mother_Independent94 How do I stop my cat peeing all over the house PLSSSS!!! ASAPPP
I’m at my wits end I actually can’t take it anymore. My first cat was a single cat for a while and NEVER had any accidents always went to the litter box to do her business. Fast forward I brought a second kitten home, within the first 30 mins my first cat peed on the floor right next to me for the first time ever.
Ever since then she stated to have accidents here and there but NOW she’s peeing EVERYWHERE MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. My clothes will be soaked and smell horrible even after 2 long washes I literally can’t leave a pile of freshly washed clothes on the bed for even a second bc I fear she’ll we on it. There was a period where I just got used to it and wouldn’t even be mad because I was just tired but now I’m feeling literal anger every time she does it and to top it off today she now shat on the floor and I feel rage. I would never give them up because I know I would regret that but I definitely need tips ASAP on how to stop this.
Pls refrain from judgment and negativity I honestly don’t have the head space for it pls just help me and give me tips if you can thank you

2023.06.03 07:43 SweetnessBaby Is it worth it to get my cat spayed?
My cat, Nyx, is just over 1 year old. I've raised her since she was 2 weeks old. I've kind of been dragging my feet to get her spayed, and I'm wondering now if it is even worth it.
- She handles her heat cycles very well. Hardly any hollering and calling. She'll let out a chorus of little meows every few hours, but that's about it. She stops too if you just go pet her. If anything when she's in heat it makes her the most cuddly and affectionate little thing in the world for a few days.
- I've read enough horror stories of cats reacting badly to anesthesia, and I am just so paranoid about it now. I don't even want to risk it if it isn't absolutely necessary. I honestly was always a dog person until my gf convinced me to keep Nyx, and now I cannot imagine my life at home without her. She is the kind of cat that could make anybody wish they had a cat. I would be devastated if something happened to her.
- She is pretty much strictly an indoor cat. She only goes outside with me in our tiny backyard and isn't allowed out on her own. I also do not let her come out with me during her heat cycles. There is no way for her to get over the fence either.
So, is there any reason I should still consider getting her spayed? I understand pretty much all the reasons I listed are my own selfish ones by not wanting to risk losing her to an unlikely accident, but I'm okay with those being my reasons. I would like to know if I'm way off base and if there are any serious heath benefits I would be denying her by not getting her spayed. Would the benefits outweigh the potential risks?

2023.06.03 06:39 AshAndy83 Cont. Collection of Clues S2 ep3
S2 E3 Tether - Boyd trusts Ellis to share what he experienced in the woods but it backfired! Seeing his rock Fatima crumble made Ellis lose it too, handling anything more than that (what happened to his dad) was too much to bear. Boyd had to step in to comfort Ellis instead.
- Boyd and Donna discuss supplies. Storm destroyed half of their crop, so the town must ration. Def executed by Them–let’s bring on the storm AND add more people to the cage.
- Kenny and Ellis hear a song, “Wake up, Miss Susie.” Another reference to dreaming/sleeping. They find Kelly with a metal rod from the cages they use to trap food (Easter egg) pierced through her head. This symbolizes how people are *tied to the place psychologically. Hence the episode’s title Tether.*
- Instead of mutilating as usual, monsters did this to Kelly on purpose forcing her to watch them kill her boyfriend, Brian. Monsters said they wanted to play with her; further confirming their need to torture for sport to produce more fear and trauma.
- Jade confesses to Victor he’s been seeing the symbol along with visions. (mind you, it’s always of death). He says, “there’s gotta be a reason I’m seeing the symbol.” Jade shows Victor the picture of him as a kid and the man who owned the journal of symbols.
- Weakly, Jim checks out EXIT sign’s wiring (Easter egg), newcomer old lady interrupts. She confirms she got on the bus headed towards the racetrack, but couldn’t confirm whether it was a charter bus (meaning it was designated to take the entire group to the same destination–we learn later it’s not since Marielle was headed to rehab.) Old lady mentions how strange it is for Kristi and Marielle to reunite, Jim finds this intriguing. Further justifies the psychological component of the town.
- Fatima and Elgin arrive at the Brundles.
Note Brundle is a nod to Cronenberg’s The Fly, where scientist Dr. Brundle experiments with teleportation pods but when trying to teleport himself, he accidentally fuses with a fly, transforming himself into a humanoid. A call back to Tabitha and Jim’s “accidents can make things one of a kind.” This could be a huge detail to the bigger mystery. - Elgin shares he dreamt of it, Fatima confirms the place affects many people: “dreams, nightmares, weird premonitions.” (All psychological). Fatima says a girl named Nadia suggests the place calls out to people, but only those listening closely enough can hear (Sara, Ethan, Victor, Tabitha, Jade). Fatima says there were many others just like them. More proof it’s a cycle and only a unique few are selected to carry out the agenda.
Perhaps it’s based on how they behaved in the first place like Boyd was a natural born leader taking control (he did find the talismans after all) and instantly became Sheriff when he came into town.
- Tabitha’s first time seeing two sick kid ghosts, wearing white all dirty, hair loss; maybe there was a cycle that included a group of sick kids
- Stressed, Boyd has to vent about his journey to Abby’s grave, desperately trying to rationalize his encounter with Martin; “How can that be real??” Another call back whether any of it is a reality. As their leader, he can’t say anything just yet until he’s sure of anything.
- Tabitha confesses to Julie she saw something (sick kid ghosts) and confirms it didn’t feel peaceful compared to when her baby Thomas died when she used to see him. Possibly implying the kids’ deaths weren’t peaceful.
- Kelly screams in agony right as Boyd approaches, highly suggesting it was perfectly arranged for Boyd to find her in that distressed way by “Them.”
- Boyd mercy kills Kelly removing the metal rod from her head; besides inflicting more trauma, this scene possibly symbolizes he is the hero to get them out of there and to solidify his big role in the grand scheme
- Fatima and Ellis become engaged
- Ethan builds the wooden puzzle blocks he found in storage, similar to the stone ones Tabitha saw in the cave; She sees the same pair of sick ghost kids again who are apparently connected to the puzzle blocks.
Afterthought: if the puzzle block tower represents the design of the town trap then the kids are either a function of it or victims because of it.
- Boyd tells Donna about Kelly, shares his past trauma where he mercy killed Corporal Brian Kelly from his time in the Marines; mercy killing Kelly and learning her bf is named Brian awakens this past trauma. As if the couple were chosen for Boyd to emotionally break him down further. “How can any of this shit be fuckin real?!”
- Donna prods Boyd about his journey in the woods, Boyd refuses to share knowing she nor him can even manage the consequences of having that conversation bc he still doesn’t even know. As their leader, he can’t have them learn about the worms in him either. “Do you have your shit together?” Donna presses, reenforcing the responsibility on Boyd alone since Donna made it very clear she can’t tackle leadership at all. She’s spiraling too.
- Kenny finds Sara in church basement
