in line with the hc I’ve seen thrown around often that medic comes from a long line of doctors who are just as fucked up as he is. I think his parent was a single mad scientist lady and medic is her beautiful baby science experiment that she grew in a tube through various scientific affronts to god. Her favorite freak of nature.

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

scientist when you don't take the medicine they developed to help your pain

Love that they put “a sense of impending doom” as one of the symptoms of a heart attack, like girl, that’s just how it is to be alive these days, you’re gonna have to be more specific

This made me chuckle but after scrolling away I felt the need to come back to it.

Because as someone who has felt this I can not stress how different it actually is from anxiety. Which is saying a lot because I have a massive anxiety disorder.

I've only felt this twice in my life - once when I was going into kidney failure due to an infection and again when my body was going into shock due to dehydration and malnourishment due to GI issues - and I can not stress how much it saved my life. It's hard to even put it into words. It's not like a panic attack, or anxiety. It is a horrific gut turning feeling of absolute dread.

Especially if you have anxiety you'll know the difference honestly. It's so much worse. It's every cell in your body and your brain screaming that there's something horribly wrong in a way you've never felt. It's your brain screaming out that you are going to die in a way no panic attack has ever done before.

I can not stress how important it is to get yourself to the ER if you feel this way. Especially if your having other physical symptoms.

This is amazing and incredibly helpful, oh my god. Thank you.

Seconding the above : I was going into shock from internal bleeding, and that sense of “something is gravely wrong” was entirely different from my day-to-day whirlwind of anxiety.

For me, it was very quiet. For me, there was a deep sense that I could just lie down on the floor and not have to ever get up again, no effort required.

That combined wrongness/relief was so weird and so unsettling that I drove myself to the ER.

The “impending” part is really key to that symptom, I think, based on my experience. It’s not the existential dread of late-stage capitalism grinding the world into nurdles. It’s a ghost crow on your shoulder whispering “it’s here, it’s now.”

Impending doom is also a feature of anaphylaxis, something I’m intimately familiar with as someone with mast cell dysfunction.

For me, its the overwhelming, near calm certainty of doom that distinguishes it from the jittery panic of “but something could go wrong.”

There’s no “what if?” There’s no room to question it. It just IS. And it’s very different from the “calm” of disassociation too. I’m not disassociated from myself when it happens. I’m probably actually the most present ever.

I’ve turned to doctors and told them calmly and with utter certainty “I am going to die” and the reaction that calm certainty gets is immediate intervention because doctors also recognize that stillness as the body not bothering to waste any time on fight or flight and just going straight to “death is imminent due to some internal failing, act accordingly.”

Sometimes I'll have parts of a character's life or backstory completely not figured out, with not really a clue on what to put there but I won't mention anything and just pretend it's me keeping up the mystery or something

A few facts for you as we contemplate all things [sub]marine today:

- more than 600 people, many of them Afghans and Pakistanis, may have drowned in the Mediterranean last week after Greek authorities allegedly chose not to intervene when they encountered the vessel in distress to avoid the politically toxic spectacle of allowing so many migrants ashore.

- $250,000 in the right hands could arrange asylum for up to 12 refugees or, alternatively, support an Afghan family for about 80 years.

this is the literal only good comment I’ve gotten on this post

love how this post started circulating again shortly after the influx of new users coming from reddit

tumblr users really saw redditors organizing a whole-pussy-in general strike that made the entire site indefinitely unusable and thought Hey what's the dumbest most useless low effort mockup of that idea so all the newcomers realize we're clowns

reddit's strike is dangerous because 1) it has no set date and 2) it actively removes access to all of the site's content, both current and retroactively. if you wanted to do anything remotely useful in that spirit on tumblr, you'd call for everyone to password lock their accounts, and even then it doesn't work on main blogs. the "website-wide strike" is just not a format that works for Tumblr. weren't yall here in 2018?

if you actually want to do something to cause problems for staff, you should start hacking away at all the precious PR work they've been doing lately. you should voice your disapproval of the recent changes and how much the site is no longer worth it on other platforms, and you should review bomb them on your app store of choice, where as of right now they're still sitting comfortably at above 4.0 stars ratings. you start dragging those ratings down and MAYBE we'll have a chance they start listening

I made a tiktok talking about the rise of cringe culture once again in art spaces, specifically the mid 2010s solarsands era, and 99% of the comments are teens and young adults talking about how badly that time killed their drive to create out of fear of being bullied for their "mary sue" oc. there are people still in their teen years telling me how they still avoid putting bright colors in their designs. there's people telling me how they or their friend's art was featured in "cringe mary sue" compilations and were bullied off the internet as children by thousands of people. every day I open up the app to 100 or more of these same comments. solar sands, to this day, has never taken accountability for the damage he did to our community. he fucked over an entire generation of artists and he wants to just move on.

and people are actively bringing this back.

fuck your "art lore."
