thought too hard about MRI machines today and had this come to me in a vision

I love your vision, I love your message, and I want to add on. There is a much more common MRI safety fact that people really need to be aware of: radiofrequency burns.

Here's a poster from the U.S. FDA! In summary:

I got singed from my last MRI due to an inexperienced technician. The sensation went from "huh, did they turn on a heater?" to "why do I feel like I'm being baked". It was kind of similar to the feeling of drinking alcohol or getting CT contrast. Not painful, but uncomfortable and bizarre.

Thankfully, things were very easily sorted after I spoke up. The sensation stopped immediately, and imaging proceeded smoothly after some quick adjustments. My burn was comparable to a mild sunburn (minus the radiation), and it was gone in a couple days. This is also the only time I've ever had this happen in an MRI.

In summary: be honest with your care providers, and communicate with them if something feels wrong.

I'm bringing this back for disability pride month. While I'm at it, I wanted to add: please remember that information like this is meant to prevent such injuries. It is not meant to send you into hypervigilance.

Yes, a lot of medical testing can be scary! Being scared is not just okay, it's extremely normal. Understanding your own healthcare as a patient is extremely important for your safety and care, though.

That's especially true in a post-pandemic medical system. Healthcare has been overtaxed across the globe. Patients and providers alike are going to feel the effects of that for years to come. Those of us who are extremely reliant on frequent healthcare feel it the most acutely. Asking questions, staying aware, and practicing self-advocacy are all important steps to ensure you get the care that you need.

now would be the absolute funniest time for tumblr to unban porn

Actually, let's clarify this one, a little more. They are obviously a couple, and were always written to be a couple. What else would they be? (No, they aren't sisters, they have different names.)

"We never married, so we're undivorceable," they sang in the Stephin Merritt musical of Coraline...

(They were based on my long ago elocution teacher and her partner.)

Yet another. I appear to have answered this one many many times on Tumblr alone (and on Twitter, alav ha-shalom, and even on my blog, before that).

And what I find oddest about it, is if it had been an elderly man and an elderly woman as neighbours, who had been living in the flat downstairs for the past thirty years or more, you'd just assume they were a couple, and would not be writing to the author to find out if they were a brother and sister or perhaps roommates.

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS!!

I recently got kicked out of my apartment back in December and have been staying with friends and trying to find a job since but have had no luck! my only source of money has been commissions or my etsy shop sales and recently has been hard with summer!!

Wow! Here’s something incredibly personal.

This is Good Bi Gender. A comic I made to express some feelings I have about my gender. I don’t really have that much else to say about it. Here it is.

humans don’t have enough ornamentation. where’s the plumage, the antlers

i could go for a good vibrant throat sac i could display as i sing in the mating season

Humans have some of the most extreme hair variation over their bodies in the animal kingdom, with hair on some parts of our body a few millimetres long and fine enough to be almost invisible, and hair in other parts a good metre long if not artificially trimmed. Part of the inside of our mouths are turned out to make our lips bright red, we have comically oversized breasts and lack penis bones to make erections more indicative of impressive circulation, and have some of the most complex behavioural adaptations to self-ornamentation for courtship seen in anything that doesn’t spend half its life collecting blue bottle caps. How much ornamentation do you want?

I’d like antlers, as previously stated

I want bioluminescence

Sonar

Flared webbing would be nice

the crime the criminal

Objection!

Your honor. It's true that a first glance at the evidence would suggest my client was responsible. But let's look a little further, shall we?

I have here a reverse image search for the crime scene as well as my client's photo.

And if you look closely at the results...

The blogs and dates don't match.

My client has been framed!

And why? Because their iconic "mischievous smile" makes for a funnier post, of course. But nothing, not even Tumblr notes, is more important than the truth!

I present to you: The original unaltered post and the true culprit!
