Meandering

I have had a lot of evil people say to me that nothing taste as good as skinny feels and every time im like no im pretty sure food tastes really super good actually

Okay, I'm going to reblog this post ONE TIME for the sake of hopefully helping offer some clarity and potential harm reduction.

this phrase is not what you think it is. it's an anorexia trigger phrase, specifically a type of mantra for very mentally ill people to fixate on when they are fighting tooth and nail to prevent themselves from eating. the feeling being referred to is the feeling of being in control. it isn't a philosophy, it isn't intended to be physically accurate. it's a tool sick people use to stay sick.

PLEASE stop reblogging this and other pro-ana phrases, even if it's to "reality check" them. you can't. and especially if you are not an eating disordered person, there's no point in having you add your opinions.

I have seen/heard this phrase about 10 times this week, and while it was exclusively from people trying to negate it, IT'S STILL TRIGGERING EVERY TIME. Because it's an intentional trigger phrase. if you must talk about it, can you at least shift the wording enough that it will set less people off?

wait, that's an anorexia trigger phrase? I used to hear that at Weight Watchers meetings every other week!

[draconym]

It's a trigger phrase and it's also a marketing slogan that I've seen on magnets, clothes, and countless Facebook Aunt memes. It's both things.

And while I get fucking angry when I see it on products, I think the point that you can't reason with it or effectively mock it is well taken. It doesn't originate in logic or reality. It's just a fatphobic weapon that can be used on others or on oneself.

Trump is pushing to have Congress ‘expunge’ his impeachments

The president said Congress should pass the resolution to scrub his first-term impeachments, claiming he did ‘nothing wrong’

Rhian Lubin in New York Friday 12 June 2026 14:58 BST

Trump was impeached twice by the Democratic-led House of Representatives; first in 2019 over allegations of abusing the power of his office by attempting to extort a political favor from Ukraine, and again in January 2021 with charges of “incitement of insurrection” following the January 6 Capitol riots. The Senate acquitted him in both cases, which left him in office.

The president’s latest move to void the impeachments from the record follows his recent attempts to reverse the outcomes of multiple legal cases that ruled against him.

Wright's Mountain Tree Frog (Dryophytes wrightorum), family Hylidae, Arizona, USA

Formerly known as the Arizona Treefrog. There has been some taxonomic reshuffling that has lead to a new latin name and common name for the Arizona population.

Some people still call the Arizona frogs "Arizona Tree Frog".

Trump purchased tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock in UFC’s parent company while promoting the event, according to a May financial disclosure. Every president since Ronald Reagan has either put their assets in a blind trust managed by independent trustees or sold off their stocks to eliminate conflicts of interest. Trump did not.

OP: "Do you know how test papers used to be printed?"

This is a mimeograph, a method of printing widely used thoughout China in the 1900s due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Due to technological advancements, it fell out of use near the end of the century. Characters are carved onto a sheet of wax lithographing paper with a stylus. Where the pen presses down on the paper, the wax is scratched off, so when printing, the oil-based ink will seep through onto the white paper.

OP also demonstrates fixing mistakes with a specialty correction fluid.

do not taste plants if you don't know what they are

do not identify a fruit as edible just because it tastes sweet

hope you didn't eat any fucking seeds, bro

And today, we have this winner:

I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...

In comments, they continue:

and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:

So just as a reminder, folks. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your fucking mouth!

YOU GODDAMN STUPID MOTHERFUCKER

[javaelemental]

Good fucking god, people, if you don't know what it is, DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR STUPID MOUTH.

Oh my god. Good lord. I learned that when I was TINY. I was the tiniest, dumbest baby child and I knew better than to do this. What is wrong with you.

At Halloween last year, the tiniest little girl dressed as one of the Folk came to my door. There's an increasingly magnificent native beautyberry to one side of my stoop, with its marvelous electric purple berries served up in great tumbles, and she was transfixed by it. She got her candy, I complimented her costume, she started down the stairs, and then stopped, and turned back around. Her: "Are those for-eating berries?" Me: "Oh, you are so smart and clever for asking first! That is such a good idea, I'm so impressed! These are Callicarpa, called beautyberry, and they are edible. Usually they are for cooking, though, to make syrup or jam, and they're not very nice right off the bush. But they are a food berry, and you're so smart to ask!" Her: "Can I...try one?" Me: "If your mother says you may." Her mother, from the walk: "Are you SURE, like, 100% sure. That those are food." Me: "A hundred percent sure, ma'am. I could show you a couple of websites on them, if you want." The Girl: *waits for her mother's nod, then gently reaches out and takes three very small berries and puts them into her mouth* The Girl: *makes an inquisitive face as she chews, walking down the path toward her mother* Me, turning back inside: "Husband, you should have seen this very smart little girl just now!"
