Steele’s Rose Part 4 of 4
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 #Graphite (aka Black Lead) / International #LGBTQ #PrideDay“Give me that,” Mao said as a person entered with a gourd. “Wine. Excellent. I’ll mix some medicine for her. The first thing is to cool the heat.”
She turned her attention to her bodyguard and explained, “This is nüè. It will return every few days, accompanied by chills and fever. There is effective medicine for it, but I don’t have it. Send someone to the apothecary to get sweet wormwood (qīnghāo). Get it fresh, not dried. Pay extra if you have to. If you can’t afford it, offer your sword as security.”
Steele turned to leave, only for Mao to stop her, saying, “Better, does the apothecary read our language?”
Steele nodded.
“Then, fetch me writing materials.”
When they arrived, Mao used the black lead provided to mark a message on a board and handed it to Steele. “Find someone you trust who speaks Li and have them fetch this. If the local apothecary doesn’t have fresh qīnghāo, have them find someone who does.”
The mercenary pushed through the shamen who were now standing by the screen. The beads on their elaborate robes tinkled as she passed. Despite her earlier comments, she went past without jostling or shoving. Head bowed, her muttered comment might have been taken as a respectful apology instead of Li military slang for worthless camp followers.
“Do what you want on the far side of the screen,” Mao addressed the traditional medicine people. “I will do mine here. Do not disturb us!”
Whether they understood the young apothecary or if her hand gestures conveyed her meaning, the two groups of healers respected each other’s boundaries.
Steele was soon back, accompanied by two burly soldiers. To Mao, they looked like shock troops, used to hand-to-hand combat. “They will carry Rose to wherever you choose,” Steele said. “You can’t keep coming here all the time. Besides, she will then be out of the reach of those vultures.”
Mao weighed the risks of moving Rose against the benefits. It was true she couldn’t regularly attend to the patient. However, Sazen and Kokuyou could care for Rose at Verdigris House in her absence. They might object to her staying in the shop, but they would tolerate it. She would also have easy access to her equipment and supplies. That would make preparing the qīnghāo easier.
She nodded and waved to the soldiers. “You will need a litter.”
“It is outside, M’lady.”
Mao sighed. She had come for revenge, yet here she was taking care of Steele’s sweetheart. Well, at least she would be well paid for it.

Steele’s Rose Part 3 of 4
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 ink / International #LGBTQ #PrideDaySteele led her back through the building to a screen in the back. Behind it lay a young woman with felt blankets heaped on her. Her flushed face was almost scarlet, and her eyes were vague with a yellow cast. Mystic signs had been #inked upon her face.
The mercenary stooped beside the woman and laid a gentle hand on the blankets. “You must help her,” she said to Mao.
“Mù’er, who have you brought?” the sick woman asked, then fell violently coughing.
“My mistress; she is skilled at medicine. If anyone can help you, she can. Better than those Муусайн уйварчид.”
“Who is she?” Mao interrupted. She bent down and felt the woman’s forehead as she waited for an answer. The patient’s skin burned under her hand.
“My wife, Rose. Fire and ice spirits fight over her. She burns and then freezes. If you save her, I will pledge my life to you.”
“I won’t require that,” Mao said. It was bad enough that Jinshi saddled her with this woman, but there would be no end to her obnoxious presence if she pledged herself as the apothecary’s personal retainer.
“Some musk and a little snow lotus will do,” Mao said. As far as she was concerned, those would be much better than having someone follow her around all the time. Musk was expensive and useful, while snow lotus was rare; she’d never had any.
“Just save her, and I will get you that and more. Just be quick before those worthless charlatans come. None that they have doctored have lived.”
Mao had moved on to examining the woman’s eyes. The whites had taken on a yellow cast. “The liver?” No, she’d seen this before, mostly in the spring after the floods, never in cold weather. Without glancing up, she asked, “Have there been others similarly afflicted?”
“Several on the street.”
Pointing to puffy, red mosquito bites on the woman’s neck, Mao asked, “Have they had these? Gone to marshy places?”
“They were gathering yellow flax in the lowlands to use as dye where шавьжнууд bit them.”
“The fever goes away, but returns a few days later?” Mao asked.
Steele nodded as bells and drums sounded in the background. Chanting accompanied the music and drew closer.
“Shamen?” Mao asked.
“залигчид,” Steele swore.
“I need water, or better yet, wine or beer.”
The chanting and noise were louder now, and the smell of steppe herbs burning reached their nostrils.
“дарс,” the mercenary shouted to the people outside the screen. Then, speaking to Mao, she translated her earlier comment. “Yes, shamen, knaves, and swindlers. When the fevers and chills go away, they expect payment, yet take no responsibility when the demons return.”
“They do no harm and perhaps some good. I smell them burning sagewort and juniper. Those are excellent. And there is something bitter, like wormwood. That’s good too, but if they make her cough, it means there is too much.”

Steele’s Rose Part 2 of 4
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Queer / International #LGBTQ #PrideDayMedicines packed, Maomao headed out on foot. It would be a long way, but it felt good to be out without either of her “minders,” Chou or Steele. However, it wasn’t long before she regretted her decision. Court life and the indulgences of Jinshi and his retinue had softened her. Still, she reminded herself that not long ago, a carriage or horse would have been an unheard-of luxury.
As she’d predicted, the house was easy to find. It was a shabby building shared by several occupants. The smell of simmering mutton, spices, and onions fried in fat hung over the street. Beneath it all lingered the sour smell of fermented milk, strong enough that she could have found the place blindfolded.
In front of the building, old women with rounded faces and olive cast skin gossiped, their eyes sharp and suspicious as they watched her. Not only their appearance but their dress marked them as from the steppes.
Mao considered what to ask. Not surprisingly, she didn’t remember Steele’s actual name. Even if she had remembered it, the chances that she could pronounce the strange northern syllables were slim.
“Excuse me, I’m the apothecary who was sent for. I am looking for a sick female soldier.”
The women shook their heads and said something unintelligible to Mao.
“Do any of you speak Li?” she asked.
Again, she couldn’t understand the reply.
“Can I help you?” an accented voice asked from her left.
She turned and saw a man whom she presumed was the furrier. His clothing was finer than the women’s, but their foreign cut was the same, as was his dark skin and heavy eyes.
“I am here with medicine for a sick mercenary guard, a woman.”
“No one like that is here,” he said abruptly and turned to go back into the building.
She thought it was #queer. While resentment between this quarter’s residents and the Li was understandable, would he really allow one of his own to die rather than let her treat them?
Once again, a fresh voice interrupted, this time belonging to a familiar woman. “Ааваа, тэр намайг хайж байна.”
Mao turned and found Steele standing in the building’s entry. She looked well, though tired and drawn.
“Come, you’re needed, M’lady,” the mercenary said, switching to the language of Li. Her voice was as tired as her face.

Steele’s Rose Part 1 of 4
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Queer / International #LGBTQ #PrideDayMao edged away when Tianyu sidled up to her. He caused enough trouble when he spoke plainly, but anything he was trying to hide was nothing she wanted to deal with. Still, she couldn’t avoid hearing what the troublesome surgeon had to say. “Your guard, Steele needs medicine for a fever; it sounds bad.”
At last, Mao thought, “I’ll show that mercenary what it feels like to be ‘taken care of.’ ‘Throw me over your shoulder, will you!’”
She looked around. The busy medical ward had its fair share of soldiers with broken bones, bruises, and dehydration. Some days were much worse, but they didn’t need her currently. Still, there was no good excuse for her to leave now.
Dr. Liu’s sudden voice made them jump. “I’m sure Tianyu can do your work as well as his today. Your guard must be very ill if she didn’t come in person.”
Mao glared at Tianyu. How careless could you be?
The surgeon merely raised his eyebrows and covered his head, expecting further punishment for his transgression.
That was no concern of Mao’s. She was more concerned with the head doctor’s expression. She was reluctant to owe Dr. Liu any more than she already did. When he negligently waved his hand at her while maintaining a stony stare at Tianyu, she decided it was too good an opportunity to pass up. While Dr. Liu wreaked havoc on that irritating surgeon, she could do the same to her equally irritating bodyguard.
“Where is she?” she asked Tianyu.
“In the house next to the fur merchant in the foreign quarter. The one that offers goods from the far north. I’ll show you the way.”
This last comment was too much for Dr. Liu, who grabbed the miscreant by the ear. Mao didn’t need Tianyu guidance anyway. She knew where it was. There was an apothecary nearby that specialized in ingredients from the northern steppes, so finding the furrier would be easy. She had bought dàhuáng, saiga horn, and other northern medicinals there before. Her lips curved into a smile. The shop also carried musk, which she’d never been able to afford.
Yes, that would make suitable compensation to extract from Steele.
It didn’t take Mao long to get ready. There were no sweeteners to add, nothing to make the medicine easier to take, or to counteract unpleasant side effects.
“Let that woman learn what it feels like to be treated like a sack of flour,” she said to herself.
Not that she skimped on the most effective medicine. Luomen had drilled into her the importance of never endangering a patient without cause. “A lesson is one thing,” Mao thought. “Harm is another.”

The Onion: Closeted Pride Parade Takes Place In Garage

Hoy es 28 de junio, día del Orgullo LGBT (Pride Day).
Es el día en el que los homofóbicos exclaman a viva voz que nos iremos al infierno. ¿Nuestro pecado, según ellos? Amar a quien elija nuestro corazón, amar sin importar las etiquetas del género. Nuestro pecado, según las mentes cuadradas, es ser nosotros mismos.
También, es el día en el que muchas empresas colocan la bandera LGBT en sus redes sociales, expresando ser aliados de la comunidad; cuando durante los 364 días restantes, despiden a empleados LGBT, simplemente por una etiqueta, y rechazan a futuros empleados cuando descubren esta parte de su identidad, bajo el pretexto barato de "Te llamaremos pronto".
Y no podemos dejar de lado a las personas con discapacidad, una minoría que pasa desapercibida incluso dentro de la misma comunidad LGBT. Sí, ese colectivo que clama por aceptación e igualdad en el mundo, son los mismos que rechazan a alguna orientación sexual o a alguien por tener una condición, como las personas con discapacidad que formamos parte del arcoíris. Hoy, es uno de esos momentos donde les quiero recordar que las personas con discapacidad, también amamos más allá de un género; también hay gente Trans con una condición como la mía. También merecemos la misma aceptación, igualdad y respeto que alguien LGBT sin discapacidad.
Muchas veces me preguntaron porqué mi presentación en redes sociales dice que soy Bisexual, si a nadie le interesa. Tal vez a ti no te interese mi forma de sentir, pero te recuerdo que afuera, hay muchos hermanos que temen salir del Closet por diferentes factores. Y al ver que alguien muestra quien es con total libertad, se siente menos solo. Quizá para ti esté de más que diga abiertamente que formo parte de la Comunidad LGBT, pero tienes que saber que los que estamos fuera, mostrándole al mundo nuestros colores y luchando para vivir en una sociedad más justa, somos los ejemplos a seguir de los que aún están dentro del Closet y buscan la manera de ver la luz en medio de su oscuridad.
Hermano/a, no estás solo. Hay mucha gente que te quiere, hay muchos que te estamos esperando aquí. Siempre habrá uno de los nuestros, dispuesto a escuchar a quien lo necesite. Yo también estuve en tu lugar, yo también tuve miedo de aceptar mi orientación sexual. Con el apoyo de mis amigos, logré abrir mis alas y volar. Y quiero devolver ese gesto, siendo el apoyo de mis hermanos que se sienten desorientados.¡Feliz mes del Orgullo! No teman ser auténticos.

Come all ye lovers and affairs,
singles, discrete souls, and bears,
straightest of straights, bentest of bents,
carbolic scrub, Armani scents…—Edwin Morgan, “G.G.L.C.”

CW: El texto del post puede contener carácter sensible
Hoy es 28 de junio, día internacional del Orgullo LGBT; conocido también como Pride Day. Esto se debe a que en 1969, en un barrio de la ciudad de New York (Estados Unidos) la policía realizó una redada en el bar de Stonewall, un espacio donde las personas de la comunidad LGBT podían reunirse en paz, ya que la Homosexualidad estaba mal vista en esos tiempos. Lo ocurrido aquella madrugada del 28 de junio de 1969, marcó un antes y un después para la comunidad LGBT: Nadie se quedó callado, nadie se quedó quieto, y las manifestaciones de nuestros hermanos fueron claves en la historia.
Hoy, 55 años luego de que se produjera la rebelión de Stonewall donde nuestros compañeros se pronunciaron en contra del rechazo hacia individuos que no han hecho nada malo, nos encontramos en otra época, conviviendo con otra generación muy diferente. Aun así, la lucha no ha terminado. Aunque en 2024 contemos con más derechos a favor de las personas LGBT (como la unión entre personas del mismo sexo o permitir la adopción en parejas homosexuales) ¿Por qué seguimos siendo testigos de Homofobia en la sociedad? ¿Por qué seguimos escuchando que nos iremos al infierno por tener una orientación sexual diferente a la equívocamente establecida por una regla no escrita? ¿Por qué muchos tienen miedo de contarles a su familia que están en pareja con alguien del mismo género? ¿Por qué seguimos viendo crímenes homofóbicos? Como el incendio del barrio de Barracas (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) ocurrido en 2024, donde se atentó contra la vida de 4 lesbianas.
¿Por qué seguimos escuchando de países que penalizan la Homosexualidad con la muerte? ¿Por qué tenemos dirigentes en América latina que exparsen el odio hacia la comunidad LGBT?
Hoy, con la frente en alto y espada en mano, reibindico mis derechos como todos aquellos que forman parte de la comunidad LGBT. Reibindico quien soy y lo que soy, sin miedo al que dirán, porque esos que se llenan la boca de majaderías no me dan de comer: Soy una chica orgullosamente Bisexual, que puede amar a un hombre como también una mujer, y que ser Bisexual no me hace menos persona que al resto. No soy pecadora, porque amar no es un pecado en ninguna de sus variantes; tampoco me iré al infierno, porque no se me castigará por un pecado que no existe, en un lugar de fuego en el que no creo. Además, no tiene sentido alguno que se castigue a alguien cuando no daña a nadie; lo único que hace es amar.
Hoy, tomo mi bandera, y abro mis brazos para acoger a las personas que necesitan un empujón y valor que les permita ser libres: Siendo auténticos, siendo ellos mismos, siendo felices sabiendo que no le deben nada a nadie.
Repitan conmigo: Amar no representa un pecado en ninguna de sus variantes, y no permitas que nadie te convensa de lo contrario. Llegamos a este mundo para ser felices, y la mejor forma de experimentar la felicidad absoluta es brillando, resplandeciendo como el arcoíris.(Mélzefynn)

Today we commemorate the Stonewall Riots, the origin of pride marches taking place all over the world. A good opportunity to learn more about this important part of history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_paradeWhile Pride Month is nearly over for 2024, the fight for equity and the celebration of beautifully diverse identities is not. No matter what your identities are, no matter if you're still on your journey discovering more of them, no matter whether you are out in the open or not - you and your experiences are valid, and you are not alone.
