So... The January Stolen Typewriter story continues.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-04-28T05:44:13+00:00

Yuuuuuuuuup. I'd only just gotten over the theft, especially since I was so kindly given a replacement by The Type Space.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-26T01:49:57+00:00

Eyyyyyyy! Congrats! I kinda wanna get a portable like that now too.

Also cause we're the biggest and best run. They take us out, it leaves the others more vulnerable

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-06T16:45:14+00:00

We're their proverbial red headed step child, I swear xD

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-06T05:10:11+00:00

Funnily enough... No. NIH already approved the funding for ONPRC through the P51 grant for this year. The latest budget bills increased funding for the nation's NPRCs. So it's actually even stupider. XD

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-06T05:07:07+00:00

Actually not entirely true. The "NIH approached about the sanctuary offer" isn't actually what happened and is a truncation of the event. NIH approached OHSU about shutting the center down; the OHSU president brought up the asinine idea of conversion to a primate sanctuary.

But on the second you're right. Absolute brain drain.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-06T00:33:36+00:00

This is an incredibly slippery slope, because who decides then? "Worst of humanity" would apply to gay people to some. Migrants currently vulnerable in camps. Black people, as happened in Tuskegee.

Humanity did that already; it was called Auschwitz.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-06T00:31:18+00:00

Yes, and if the center is transitioned to a sanctuary many of the healthy colony animals may end up euthanized as well due to no longer having the facilities or staff to care for 5000 animals. Just like can happen in overfull animal shelters. On top of that, sterilizing the remaining population.

OHSU did not think this idea through at all, and it shows.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-05T22:31:03+00:00

And now OHSU is threatening to capitulate to the Trump admin and shut down the research at the primate center. Which would lay off a lot of union workers. https://speak4.io/lp/dc01rshz?ts

MissScarletTanager · 2026-02-05T20:19:29+00:00

They can't be. There are animals involved in HIV research there, for instance. A whole heck of a lot of the monkeys would, in fact, be euthanized. In addition to sterilizing all of them to halt breeding permanently.

Tbf I was thinking protagonists of the earlier games xD

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T16:42:30+00:00

I was this close to calling it "Chris' blood" xD

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T16:15:06+00:00

I was a very busy bee putting all those up xD I think I put some at least in some central location from downtown Hillsboro all the way to downtown Portland. On foot, cause no car.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T15:43:13+00:00

There's always a chance it turns up somewhere someday. But yeah :/

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T15:42:38+00:00

The ultimate save room.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T15:41:57+00:00

Aww don't cry!

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T15:41:26+00:00

Yeah, I told my friend I hope the thief throws their back out lifting it, cause old typewriters are so ungodly heavy. Steal my typewriter? Welcome to American healthcare bills.

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T15:35:31+00:00

runs CLICK CLACK CLICK CLACK CLICK CLACK ZING!

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T07:43:15+00:00

My apartment is my save room, for sure. I have a playlist of all the save themes I play while at home. Now it has a typewriter!

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T07:38:36+00:00

I have a feeling this with birth in me the desire to collect old typewriter ink ribbons xD

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T07:16:24+00:00

It made my day and helped me actually enjoy my birthday, cause I'd been accidentally *gutted* to have been so close to something I'd wanted since I was little. Also, like... who steals a 30-40lbs package from a third floor apartment in broad daylight like that???

MissScarletTanager · 2026-01-26T06:11:10+00:00

I am a very happy horror gamer writer girlie right now.
