Every Girl That Made You Mad

Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games (2012-2015)

Math is really tiring, im so glad i finally get to relax and do some knitting and crochet and i oh god oh my what the fuck

The fucked up thing is that Texas actually looks like this

When I was in the hospital, they gave me a big bracelet that said ALLERGY, but like. I'm allergic to bees. Were they going to prescribe me bees in there.

So there's a medication called hyaluronidase. It's used to make other medications absorb better, because it makes the cell wall more permeable.

One common usage is to make local anesthetic more effective during surgery, for instance. It's used in a number of injected medications.

Bee stings contain an enzyme very similar to this medication, so sometimes, people with bee allergies have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

This is called cross-reactivity, where your body mistakes something for the thing it's actually allergic to, and has an allergic reaction anyway. For instance, sometimes people with latex allergies also are allergic to bananas and other fruits. They don't actually contain latex, but there are some similar proteins.

Apparently, hyraluronidase used in humans is derived from one of four sources: sheep testicles, cow testicles, cow testicles again, and GMO hamster ovaries.

tl;dr: They won't inject you with bees, but they might inject you with purified cow testicle juice, and your body might say 'eh, cow balls are BASICALLY bees' and try to kill you anyway.

Sherlock Holmes having a universal ace experience -- expressing disinterest and immediately getting called an inhuman robot.

#images#sherlock holmes#sorry i don't turn rabid and marry the prettiest girl in sight at the push of a button my dear watson

Watson is like "of course I proposed marriage to a girl I met two days ago, I'm normal and make rational decisions"

#I read this part just the other day#He literally proposes within two days it’s crazy

Every Sherlock Holmes remake that tries to make Watson the straight man does him a great injustice. Mfer is a total madlad. Everyone's like "oh he's not addicted to hard drugs and doesn't do chemistry experiments in his bedroom for fun" there are subtler ways to be completely unhinged.

The thing is, Watson may or may not instigate the Situations & Shenanigans, but he voluntarily spends most of his Sherlock Holmes, who DOES!

““Normal”“ people do not do that.

Watson will show up at Holmes' place and be like "are you doing any investigations of super weird shit today" and Holmes will be like "yes I am cornering this dangerous mass murderer, you should come and bring your gun in case anyone tries to shoot us" and Watson will do it without question, thinking "I'm so glad he's got something wholesome to distract himself with so he doesn't take more cocaine".

*happy stim jiggle*

The happiest stim jiggles

The amount of joy and serotonin I let out when the line:

Oh.

Oh.

Pops up in a fic is just crazy, getting all giddy and kicking my feet with a wide goofy smile that makes people stare at me.

I love that line.

ah, me too, man. me too *fond smile*

i actually changed it up just a little in my latest fic to this:

Oh.

Oh, shit.

bc i love a bit of variation on a rule. keeps things fresh lol

but yeah, absolutely. fanfic motifs my beloved <3

Okay this makes me feel a lottttttt better because I DEFINITELY write like this

Transfem horror protagonist who realizes she's a woman because she's the Final Girl

[Image ID. A three panel digital comic.

Panel 1. Shows five teens in a wooden cabin with boarded up windows. One o them sits with their head in their hands, thinking "Oh no, nerdy guys don't survive slasher films! I'm fucked!"

Panel 2. Later, a masked killer sits over one of the teen's body with a knife. behind them, the door is kicked open with a bang, revealing a silhouette . "Hey asshole!"

Panel 3. The nerdy teen from panel one. She is now wearing a skirt, a rainbow bracelet, pink cat years, and a blood splatter. Holding up a baseball bat, she says, "I've realized some things." End ID.]

modern heroine for the modern era, final T-girl

nowadays teens will transition just so that they won't be stabbed to death in a secluded cabin by a guy in a scary mask

im a lil high and i have cilantro soap questions

Okay so this is what I know. The only gene they've isolated so far in people repulsed by cilantro is a gene that makes people hypersensitive to aldehydes, a chemical compound frequently found in perfumery.

So "tastes like soap" could mean that cilantro tastes like the smell of aldehydes used in the fragrance of some soaps. Fragrances often have dozens of ingredients, and people with aldehyde sensitivity are more likely to notice this part of the soap fragrance.

Perhaps people who like cilantro don't smell cilantro in soap because they don't have the gene that allows them to pick that smell out in a (complex) soap fragrance.

However. Cilantro doesn't taste like soap to everyone who has the gene.

To me, cilantro tastes like bugs.

Specifically, it tastes the way stinkbugs smell when you startle or crush them. (wiki describes their smell as "oily, dusty, woody and earthy, and like coriander" which is another word for cilantro)

And the reason these bugs smell/taste bad is because they use similar aldehydes to cilantro to make a "don't eat me I'm poisonous" scent that will repulse predators.

So for question 2, cavemen didn't have soap, but they did have stinky bugs and having a gene that would help you sniff them out could be helpful. So I guess cilantro smelled like bugs to cavemen. Now that we use aldehydes in soap, it smells like soap.

BTW you can apparently train your brain to like cilantro by eating it more frequently and associating it with pleasant dishes. I haven't tried this yet though. Because... bugs.

im sure someone else has mentioned this in the tags also, but the etymology of coriander, ancient greek koriannon (i think), is a combo of the words for "bed-bug" and "fragrant anise" so like. ancient greeks didnt say it smelled like soap, they said it smelled like herbal bugs. which. yeah. exactly. cavemen presumably said similarly

I love getting so much interesting info on a post that also has the word "cilantrussy"

DM (me): As you approach the shriveled tree roots, you see it seems to be infested with some sort of black rot beneath the bark, glowing with veins of pulsing red.

Barbarian: I want to eat it.

DM: You… want to eat the tree rot. The gross, evil looking tree rot.

Barbarian: Yes.

DM: Didn’t you already take poison damage from eating mud earlier?

Barbarian: It’s what my character would do!

…and then he took 18 poison damage.

if u feel the first cramp and think "i dont need a painkiller yet, itll pass" ? that the devil speaking, take that painkiller immediately

It's a lot easier to prevent cramps from getting bad than to stop them once they already are. Take the medicine sooner and use the heating pad sooner rather than later.

This is true of pain medication for ANY condition. My mom drilled this into me back when she worked as an O.R. nurse: Do not wait until the pain is bad. If you know it’s going to be, get ahead of it. First cramp? Medicate now. Twinges of a headache? Medicate now. Pulled your back and you know you’ll feel it later? Medicate NOW.

jokes aside i think it’s amazing and heartwarming to see like 4chan incel bros perform the miracle of crawling out of that hole and becoming real human beings and chronicling their journey to realizing that they can be well adjusted happy normal dudes

Where’s the post about the guy who turned his life around bc of his shrimp? Bc that’s very relevant here

This guy. This makes me so happy

I FOUND IT THANK GOD this video is so important

They ended up canceling the contract and are now suing each other anyways. Didn’t get far in verifying the camera piece but knowing how stuff is nowadays I wouldn’t doubt it. The screens were apparently crap and sometimes caught fire which is fun. CVS apparently tested them on a smaller scale before canceling so there’s that at least

THEY SOMETIMES CAUGHT FIRE oh my god

The beta version:

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

Bro, blocking someone and then using their tag like this is, all offence, weak as fuck. Like all you had to say was, na bro I don't promote pedo protags on this here blog, because I wholly agree with the premise of your argument given contexts (i.e., writing abusive relationships to show the evils, great; writing abusive relationships to show the romance, yikes).

This response is so, so comically shitty within the context of that tag, oh my god.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

if you’re gonna introduce me to something new you have to defeat my 7 evil ex hyperfixations

don't forget the RIDICULOUSLY accurate 1790s-1840s costumes

like. they made a tiny embroidered 1840s carter's smock that Rizzo wears in ONE scene for a matter of MINUTES

the costumes in the scenes where Belle and Ebenezer meet and where they break up, again, appear in ONE scene each. and yet both are fully accessorized and show the fashion shift in the several years between those events

they didn't have to do that! very few people would have noticed! AND. YET.

i love the artistic stylings of studio ghibli as much as anyone else does but im kind of sick of anything with like vivid environments and big blue skies being branded as ghibliesque. because its like. you know where else you can hypothetically find some vivid environments with big blue skies? my friend the great and wonderful outdoors are here for you

#they found a planet where nature is as beautiful and aesthetically pleasing as ghibli films. and they're calling it Earth.

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you’re just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone’s relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that’s what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

This is really important: tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions

Decision fatigue is such a thing.

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic. 

Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.

“even IF the guy did whatever you’re accusing them of, mob violence isn’t a fair or proportionate response, and you guys need to go home and mind your own fucking business” is a thing absolutely no one likes to hear but frequently needs to be said regardless

Very important to have friends who enjoy media you don’t personally enjoy, both because having friends with varying interests can help you understand why someone might enjoy something even if it’s not your cup of tea which can help build empathy skills and also because there’s nothing more fun then being able to explain the plots of your respective obsessions to each other and have the other respond with “what the fuck”
