Regarding Kohske’s health

fuckyeahgangsta:

Recently we’ve been receiving a lot of messages inquiring about Kohske’s health and why it often influences the release of new GANGSTA. chapters. Older fans of Kohske’s are likely aware of her condition at this point, but newer fans may not be, so we wanted to mention it again. From our FAQ:

Kohske was diagnosed with a form of Idiopathic Eosinophilia after an extended period of sickness in 2012. Due to the severity and chronic nature of her illness, she is prone to being hospitalised.

This condition is rarely chronic, but in Kohske’s case it is, so it basically causes her body to attack itself on a regular basis. She is currently on a corticosteroid  treatment and has regular hospital visits (in addition to those where she needs to be admitted). Kohske is open about her condition and frequently tweets about how she’s feeling. As with most things in her life, she does so with a sense of humor.

It’s important to keep in mind that due to these circumstances it’s difficult to know for sure if a new GANGSTA. chapter will be released in any given month (sometimes even in the few days before the sale date) unless Kohske or @Bunch mentions otherwise. It’s also important to keep in mind that Kohske is a
woman who doesn’t fuck around with responsibility. If anything but a frequently disabling illness were to possibly cause her to miss a deadline, she’d put her
tablet pen in her teeth and draw it all with her head if she had to. The only times GANGSTA. has taken breaks during its run were when
Kohske physically could not finish a manuscript in time. This month has been one of those months.

Luckily, the amount of official support she receives from H, Kamo Shyuhei, and @Bunch in general is amazing. It’s just one of the many factors that shows how successful she’s been, how respected she is, and how lucky we are as a community of fans to have a mangaka like Kohske behind our favorite series and characters. ❤

my cat has been fucking playing me for weeks, playing me like a fucking harp. I feed my cat twice a day with prescribed diet food because she’s really fat and doesn’t know when she’s full so she never stops eating. usually when I come home from class she is all over me like the whore of babylon all over me putting on a pity party and trying to get me to sin and give her more food but no matter what I only feed her the amount of food for her prescribed diet. but after awhile i started noticing that she wasn’t loosing weight at all and was actually just getting fatter. so I called the vet pissed and i’m just like the fuck she’s still getting fat. so I switched her to another diet food and that still didn’t work and I was so confused and frustrated like what is wrong with this cat? so a couple weeks go by and I start noticing that I go through bags of food really fast like a week fast and I remembered how I thought that was so weird like I God honest could not figure out why the food disappeared so fast (my former naive and innocent mind) well y’all ready here’s the fucking climax – the other day my class was canceled and I come downstairs at like noonish and do you know what I see when I get down? I see my fucking cat sitting in the food bin. with my own two eyes I see her sitting in the fucking food bin. my spoiled ass cat has been eating like a fucking queen and living it the fuck up while I’m in class and then pretends like she’s hungry when I get home. and you know what’s the real kicker? when she leaves the lid gets knocked shut which is why i never caught onto her scam. she’s fucking been working the system and playing the food game right under my fucking nose like i want to scream and now I have to call the vet and the morning and explain to him how I, a well educated adult in college, got one-upped in intelligence by my fucking cat

Um, can I ask why purebred dogs have so many problems? Or is there already a post on the subject?

koryos:

The concept of purebred dogs is not a bad one; it’s just the state of many purebred dogs (and other animals) is awful right now.

Theoretically, having a purebred dog would be a way of determining size, looks, and approximate temperament of the animal you are hoping to get. And that is generally a good thing; some owners live in apartments and some live on farms, some want working dogs and some want lapdogs. It’s good for both the owner and the animal if they match up.

Where breeding can go wrong is when the looks and price of an animal matter more than the quality of life that its genes will cause it to have.

The two main issues affecting purebred animals can be summarized to inbreeding depression and overbreeding, both of which I’ll discuss in detail (and with science) below.

learning that most trees do not derive from a single lineage but actually only look and function superficially similarly due to convergent evolution is one of the most fucked up things i’ve ever learned and i will never be the same person as i was before i learned that

Oak trees are quite a bit more closely related to roses than they are to pine trees.
