I don’t have time to unpack my full thoughts on the whole argument of ‘you shouldn’t be a burden to the healthcare system’ but I would like to chime in on it:

so, all athletes should immediately stop playing sports. construction workers, anyone with jobs that put them at risk, they need to find different employment. people with uteruses shouldn’t ever get pregnant, either. actually you know what? don’t enter a car or vehicle at all! and don’t even get me started on old people. what age do we think they should just give it up & throw in the towel? 50? 60? after that they become way too burdensome. it’s a problem.

sweet baby eugenicist, your anger is misplaced. they want you to blame yourself instead of their crumbling system. you should be asking, what kind of a fucking healthcare system is it if it can be burdened by the very thing it exists to provide? which is healthcare?!

[seven-oh-four]

my liege if you keep having all of the guards come to your bedroom to read you bedtime stories, there will be no one to actually guard the castle during that time!

[kingcatnine]

any intruders are welcome to join us for story time

[cvntkisser]

my liege the enemies to lovers yaoi is affecting your perception of the danger of real enemies.

[kingcatnine]

im curious about a specific generational divide

regardless of you being queer or not, did your parents ever gave you the "if you turn out to be gay it would be fine" talk, before you ever had the chance to say anything on your own about that?

gen z, yes

gen z, no

millenial, yes

millenial, no

gen x, yes

gen X, no

baby boomer, yes

baby boomer, no

Remaining time: 4 days 23 hours

because it happened to me and im wondering if this was a product of the ongoing cultural change around gay issues. before i ever had the chance to say to my parents "i am this" my mom was already sitting me aside to tell me "if there is anything you want to tell me, i want you to know ill accept you no matter what"

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be

Destroying my home's "resale value"* by painting it in colours that only I can love.

* Painting your home fun colours will not destroy its resale value even if you do care about that. Your home's value is primarily derived from its location and the structure/materials of the building itself. Paint your home however you want and if you do choose to sell it to somebody with better taste then repainting can be their problem.

This kitchen is going to be So Orange,

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Took this photo to show you all that it is indeed So Orange but. I guess this shows how light can affect a photo because. I did not change wall paints.

[produdfctititty]

Oh shit this is looking SO GOOD Derin!!! Renovation win! (Part of the colour change will just be having the huge amount of white paint affecting colour balance in the photo too)

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Gonna splurge on average floor tiles instead of el cheapo floor tiles I think, because then they don't have to be slate grey. Gonna lean into a cream colour if I can find an affordable one. Might even get them in two colours and do a pattern.

Sometimes supporting kids as a leader in the arts means you have to do something so stupid and bad that none of them have to worry about even POSSIBLY being stupider or worse than you are.

Literally do a massive dumb fail on purpose in front of kids and be like “see how nothing bad happened? All together now.”

This is for new foragers, like my coworker:

'Medicinal' does NOT mean 'good for you and safe to eat all the time'. A plant being 'medicinal' does NOT mean that eating it, without any idea of WHY and HOW it's considered medicinal, is a good idea. It is UNWISE to consume a plant that has a long history of use in a way that DOES NOT have a long history of use.

In addition to learning that a plant is edible, you need to learn how it is eaten, what part is eaten, when it's harvested, and how to harvest it sustainably and in a way that supports its continued existence (unless it's invasive). If people only eat the ripe berries as food, then don't eat unripe berries. Don't. Eat. Unripe. Berries. UNLESS! There's! precedent! For that plant!

I know there's this idea going around that Americans only eat sweet or salty things, and that we've eliminated bitter things from our diet, and we should thus be eating more bitter things. But! Bitter things are bitter for a reason, and sometimes that reason is poison! Some of them are medicinally useful at the correct dose, but! You need to know what that is! You need to be doing it on purpose! DO NOT! Assume that bitter means that it's good for you!

The fallen rule of toxicology is : The dose makes the poison.

Eating something as a food is a different dose of it than taking it as a medicine. And even then there may be limits.

The legumes known as cicerchia (Lathyrus sativus) are a great green fertilizer plant and drought resistant in ways that make them some of the last crops to die. They can be really nutritious in limited quantities and were vital to the survival of people in places like Puglia, Italy where the weather and political rule have a history of instability. The umpteenth ruling class conquering your lands as a strategic military point and steal all your food plunging you into an artificial famine are notably less likely to eat your beans with paralyzing neurotoxins.

See, that “limited quantities” of cicerchia is doing the heavy lifting because the legumes are toxic and they will kill your in horrible, horrible ways if they’re your main source of protein for too long. Sometimes it’s a gamble between the cicerchia toxins and the starvation so you just take your chances. In good times they’re apparently quite tasty and can be part of a traditional diet. Because the cultural knowledge of that limit is passed down.

Lima beans are also toxic if not boiled for 30 minutes (U.S. cultivars may be as low as 10 minutes, but it’s safer to not fuck around with it.) A fact you might not be aware of if you’ve only had them canned or frozen where they’re pre-cooked and you can safely do things line microwave then a few minutes. Because someone else in society was doing something you didn’t notice to prevent a food safety issue you weren’t even aware of. Lima beans are really healthy when prepared correctly and are full of cyanide when raw. Something home gardeners sometimes find out the hard way, especially with all the raw foods health influencers.

Know how to prepare things before you put them in your mouth. Unluckier ancestors than you have already figured this out. Meticulous scientists or other knowledge guardians have figured it out even more precisely. Foraging is older than agriculture and doesn’t have the benefit of deliberately breeding out poisons.

Medicine is often just deliberately poisoning yourself in just the right way at just the right amounts to fend off some other issue. Get it wrong and it could injure or kill you whether it’s a plant or refined.

There have been a number of plants and mushrooms that I heard were "edible" - only to later learn that that meant, in some cases, "boil for a while, dump out the water and add fresh, boil, dump, add fresh, boil, and then you can eat them" (though many are just "cook first to break down the toxins". Do your research *fully* before eating something you're not familiar with. Soy beans, like Lima beans, are toxic when fresh and need to be cooked first. Many ignorant people have grown soybeans in their gardens and want to eat them off the plant like sweet peas. Nope. Do your homework first!
