Oh god I'm so glad! Mei is very close to my heart. With each Episode I worry about how it'll be received, so I'm glad I continue to meet (kill?) your expectations. Illness continues to make keeping up with my editing an exciting venture. Wish me luck, please. <3

wishing you ALL THE LUCK!! <3

YAY! What a glorious day to wake up and get to read Vicky & Mara's Senior Year~ Poor Vicky. ;3; Feeling like an outsider in his own community. I'm sorry YT is being a butt. Un-opt-outable fucking AI drives me nuts. I know there's no way to stop it from scraping every inch of my digital fucking body for DNA samples, but at least I could stop having it interact with me directly when I didn't ask for it.

Where's the fucking consent? If corporations are people, then not asking for consent is harrassment at the BEST of times, and a violation of my needs at worst.

EXACTLY!! Unfortunately even the browsers/programs/whatever that I prefer to use often have their own AI shit, but at least they have the decency to let me opt out!!

plasma vs interstitial fluid vs lymph T-T.... I know they're all similar but different but I don't know HOW

They are all related, but differ by where they are usually located in reference to surrounding tissues [* see "fluid compartments"]. They also differ in their general functions within the body.

Blood is generally comprised of red blood cells that carry oxygen, platelets that help with clotting, and white blood cells that neutralize or decompose harmful substances. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that holds them.

Interstitial fluid comes from blood plasma. As its name might imply, it exists within the spaces between cells (the "interstices") and allows tissues and blood to exchange materials. Interstitial fluid becomes lymph as it enters the lymphatic system. Lymph is filtered by lymph nodes and carries certain types of white blood cells (lymphocytes).

Broadly speaking, the cardiovascular system and lymphatic system work in parallel to deliver nutrients and remove wastes to all other cells by transporting extracellular fluid (i.e. all of the fluids outside of the cells, which includes blood plasma and interstitial fluid).

letslearntogether haha yeah I was being a bit hyperbolic. Thanks for your explanation!
