Imagine if after inventing the x-ray, they tried to put x-rays everywhere to try to promote x-rays. This post isn't a metaphor that happened. This post ain't some analogy for current events. I just wanted to say in 1896 there was a massive craze for x-rays and they were placed everywhere

The X-ray Craze of 1896 - JSTOR Daily

For many science-obsessed Victorians, X-rays were not just a fun novelty, but a potential miracle cure.

They knew about radiation damage from X-rays by 1897, but shoe stores kept using a thing called fluoroscopes to measure feet for shoes up until the 1950s!

When Shoes Were Fit with X-Rays - JSTOR Daily

Fluoroscopes were used in shoe stores from the mid-1920s to 1950s in North America and Europe -- even though the radiation risks of x-rays w

directors using colorful or "impossible" lighting to convey mood and meaning and beauty my beloved. directors making night scenes impossible to see for the sake of realism my beloathed.

also Argentina's ties to Israel are that they refused to extradite Nazis after the holocaust so Mossad agents had to covertly capture and smuggle them out of Argentina to stand trial

[starg2zerlion]

Argentina. One of THE football countries. On the continent that dominates football. Three time winner of the world cup. Of course they won its what they do. I dont follow sports at all and I knew this! The fact that people are blaming the Jews for this is insane (although unfortunately expected)

Also I dont think Messi means anything in Hebrew anyways, the closest word I can think of is Masi (my tax) but also my Hebrew sucks so idk

[judai-sm]

I’m going to say it actually. It’s insane to call Israel genocidal for defending themselves against a terrorist group founded with the intent to kill Jews. Also insane to say you’re against genocide while advocating for the destruction of the country that houses half the Jews in the world.

Do you think the Jews in Israel will be allowed to stay in Palestine if Israel is dissolved? You’d do well to learn the history of what happens to Jews in Muslim countries.

[notaplaceofhonour]

There is one group consistently and loudly calling for the destruction of a national group, in whole or part, and that is Antizionists.

what is it with able bodied people saying “get well soon” after you say that you’re chronically ill?? like? i am not gonna? and i once literally responded with “i’m not gonna, it’s chronic, as in permanent.” and they went like “oh well, hope you get better!” like bro 💀

[marypenelope]

Speaking for me personally (and also as someone who has their own chronic health issues), most of it is, as someone mentioned in the replies, script failure. Humans have a lot of scripts and shorthands for social interactions, and the most common one for finding out someone is ill or injured is to wish them a swift recovery. There isn't really a script for how to respond when someone won't recover tho, and so many people end up falling back on the script they do know even if it's not really applicable.

In my own personal experience, when I end up saying - or feeling the impulse to say - 'get well soon' to someone with a chronic condition, what I'm really trying to convey is something more along the lines of 'I hope your good days outnumber the bad ones', and 'I hope you find treatment that is effective for and accessible to you', and especially 'hey the fact that you are in pain sucks and I wish you weren't but I know that's not likely to change soon but also I hope that it will anyway because I hate to see people suffering and the 5-year-old inside me is insisting it's not fair even though the adult me knows that's not how it works but anyway the point is I hope you're in as little pain as it's possible for you to be in'. All of which is quite a bit harder to fit on a greeting card than 'get well soon', and which don't have any conveinent shorthands that will let me express those sentiments in a concise, understandable manner.

[i-say-stupid-things]

thank you so much for explaining this! i saw the “script failure” reply but didn’t really understand what that meant & also didn’t have the time before to further ask.

but this actually makes sense and i think i’ll try to just take it to mean things like that whenever someone wishes me well/a swift recovery now! again, thank you so much!!

[edenfenixblogs]

This is such a good interaction from everyone involved and now the world is a little better because people understand each other better.

This is so good. All interactions should be this.

[piedude]

Good job everyone, let's hit the showers

[freeandclear3567]

Can we put in a new scripted line? Like perhaps- hope you stabilize soon!

[marchenshoujo]

I hope you have more good days. I hope you find something that works for you.

[jewishicequeen]

My go to(to ANY illness) roughly translates to english as "feel better soon".

[indouscurse]

you have to consciously unlearn racism and continue to watch for it because it will come out without realizing. because so much of society is structured around it. shrugging and going "i dont care" or "i dont know how else to say it" means you are okay with being racist and hurting other people with how much you dont give a shit about them.

[girl-blorbo-polls]

If you were handcuffed to your girl blorbo with magical unbreakable handcuffs for 24h, would you be okay with this?

I trust her, I’ll be fine

I trust her, but it’ll be a stressful 24h

It depends on what kind of day we’re having

This is gonna suck…

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

[millenniallust4death]

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

[psycorax]

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

[millenniallust4death]

Thank you to everyone who commented in their tags or messaged me. Indeed, today is “Martin and Bosco Day”. I originally whimsically blazed this photo on 13 July 2022. I never expected Martin and Bosco to travel so far and make so many new friends. The experience has been such a gift for me.

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been

"everyone is paying super close attention to everyone else all the time" actualy statistical error. hypervigilance georg, who enters fight or flight when someone starts breathing differently, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[bakurapika]
