This meme is a MURDER ATTEMPT.

I am absolutely fucking serious. The original meme, without the big red denial, is someone's attempt to fucking kill people.

There is NO SAFE DOSAGE of pennyroyal oil. Even Mother Earth News says there's no reason to use pennyroyal essential oil for ANYTHING, even topically or as a fragrance, for fuckssake! That should give you some idea about how dangerous it is!

Pennyroyal tea, plant matter in hot water, is a traditional abortifacient. It is *incredibly* dangerous, induces abortion by bringing the body close to organ failure (and frequently pushing the system right over the edge, because dosage is impossible to meter), but I would drink a gallon of it before I took a half-teaspoon of pennyroyal essential oil.

Two teaspoons, taken across 48 hours, has successfully killed someone.

Three teaspoons taken as a single dosage killed the consumer within THREE HOURS.

There is NO SAFE DOSAGE! FOR PENNYROYAL OIL INTERNALLY! NONE!

The person who made this meme is PURPOSEFULLY, ACTIVELY, trying to get desperate people killed!

[fuckingconversations]

Pennyroyal oil contains pulegone, which is highly toxic, particularly to the liver. Ingestion can lead initially to gastrointestinal distress such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Later on, it can lead to failure of the liver and kidneys, resulting in bleeding, seizures, multiple organ failure, and death.

There is no antidote for pennyroyal oil poisoning.

Little Encanto Details From The Books, Part 2!

I was blown away by the response to my first post about this! (Read the first part here!) I went back through the two books and wrote down every tiny thing I could find. I think I won’t have any more until Disney releases a new book about Encanto, which hopefully they’ll do soon!

• Pepa and Agustín call Mirabel “Mira.”

• Bruno, if not the rest of the family, is Catholic (he crosses himself when meeting Antonio’s jaguar.)

• Abuela is considered the heart of the Encanto.

• Casita grows and expands to fit all the family members.

• Agustín and Félix are very close and are constantly talking.

• Isabela sometimes thinks it would be nice if she didn’t have a gift.

• While they’re both twenty-two, Isabela is older than Dolores.

• Antonio snores.

• The last time Abuela hugged Mirabel was before her failed Gift ceremony.

• The roof is Mirabel’s favorite spot in Casita.

• Casita likes being touched.

• Agustín is a pianist.

• Isabela always carries a handkerchief.

• After Luisa got her gift, she spent the rest of the night doing tricks with it for the townspeople.

• Luisa doesn’t care what she wears as long as it’s comfortable.

• Isabela drinks café con leche.

• Luisa’s ears turn red when she’s embarrassed.

• The man who told Luisa that the donkeys got out is named Señor Rendon, and he’s described as “sometimes careless.”

• Three other townspeople are named Señora Ruiz, Señora Flores, and Señora Uriarte.

• Luisa never took naps before the events of the movie, believing that “nighttime is for sleeping, daytime is for getting things done.”

• Casita is very gentle when playing with the younger Madrigals.

• Isabela never gets in trouble.

• Isabela thinks Mirabel and Camilo are too old for toys.

• Abuela and Señora Guzmán have a somewhat tense relationship- described as a “battle of politeness.”

• Mirabel’s palms sweat when she’s worried.

• Luisa loves bright colors.

• Mirabel sneezes around things like sand or dust. Or salt.

• Félix rarely worries about anything.

• Isabela has a pond in her room filled with water lilies.

• Camilo and Pepa are both able to pick up and carry Antonio. Antonio especially likes to ride on Pepa’s shoulders.

• Isabela never wears her shoes on her bed.

• Luisa has panic attacks.

• While Isabela doesn’t love Mariano, she does hope to marry someday.

• Abuela secretly thinks Mirabel is a lot like Pedro was.

Don't think about Antonio in the nursery with Mirabel. Don't think about her always being the one to wake up and shush him as a baby,

don't think about her playing pretend with him growing up, don't think about him being old enough to understand that someday he would have to leave her

Don't think about the tears that fell the day before his ceremony. Don't think about the sharp pang of longing he felt staring up at the door, fully knowing he could be as unspecial as her. Don't think about the relief and guilt he felt as the magic set in. (Don't think about him knowing she deserves it more)

Don't think about the stuffed jaguar never leaving his side in his huge intimidating new room

Don't think about him getting turned around and lost and crying, yelling for Dolores to help him get out (Don't think about Dolores coming running all the way from the village and sweeping him into the tightest hug)

Don't think about him never knowing his Tio, don't think about him pretending to understand how someone in this fantastical and magical family could mess up so badly that they could never come back. (Don't think about him trying so hard not to ever mess up)

Just think about him playing with Mirabel and Camilo in the nursery, think about the three of them putting on plays that of course Camilo starred in (Don't think about how Mirabel only did costumes and affects, she never stepped onto the stage)

Just think about him enlisting Mirabel's help to make a big tent for his room, think about him inviting his whole family inside for a sleepover. Think about Camilo telling tales and Abuela telling stories, while his mother made it rain gently outside the tent and Isa created huge beds of soft hydrangea flowers for them to all cuddle on

Think about him sneaking up on Louisa while she worked in the town, grabbing her leg and being dragged around so easily

Think about his papa teaching him how to take care of his hair, think about him getting adorably frustrated that it never did what he wanted

Think about the dozens of little scrapes and bumps and bruises from a day of play melting away as he ate his Tia's food for dinner

Just think about that, okay?

reblogging for the last part (and also he DOES have the legs for it)

[prosopagn0sia]

that story is total bullshit and has no source. not one interview with mark bryan mentions this supposed workplace harassment situation. he literally just started wearing skirts and heels because he likes them, its not that deep.

can we stop acting like men need some kind of “gotcha” reason to wear dresses and skirts?? constantly trying to make up some kind of justification for a guy wearing a skirt just helps uphold the shitty idea that clothes are gendered and that people like mark bryan are some kind of mystical outlier for literally just wearing the clothes they want to wear

[defenderofbu]

He actually stated in this interview (2020 in the Süddeutsche Zeitung) that he began wearing high heels because he got bored of wearing suits/ formal clothing.

He said that a friend commented on his legs which would look great in skirts so he decided to give it a try. That’s the whole story.

Mark Bryan ist Ingenieur, bekommt wegen seiner Instagram-Auftritte aber auch Anfragen für Model-Jobs. Über High Heels und Kleidernormen.

[afeelgoodblog]

She’s a wonderful contribution to humanity!

[fuzzycricket]

Her name is Nzambi Matee!

[wachinyeya]

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ocean-pollution-kenya-plastic-bricks-eye-on-earth/  

“I get excited when I see waste,” the materials scientist told Patta, “because I know that’s life for us.”

The fact that plastic does not sink is precisely what intrigued Matee.

–

“It took us about nine months just to make one brick.”

One brick wasn’t enough, but that was no problem for a woman who likes to get her hands dirty. Next, she built a machine to mass produce the plastic bricks. First the waste is sorted to remove rubble and metal, and then the plastic is baked — just like “making cookies,” joked Matee — before the boiling mixture is molded into building blocks. Her setup can churn out as many as 2,000 per day, and they’re 35% cheaper than standard bricks, and up to seven-times stronger. 

–

Kenya’s fight against plastic pollution isn’t just a homegrown issue. It’s complicated by the fact that, two years ago, the U.S. exported more than one billion pounds of plastic waste to 96 nations, including Kenya. Now Washington wants to make the shipment of more plastic waste a condition of a proposed trade deal.

Greenpeace activist Amos Wemanya believes Kenya can barely manage its own waste, let alone recycle America’s.

Matee agrees that countries should keep their waste in their own backyards, and she intends to make good on what she calls her triple threat:

“The more we recycle the plastic, the more we produce affordable housing… the more we created more employment for the youth,” she said.

Like many young Kenyans, Matee is passionate about saving the environment, but it’s not just words. She’s hoping that through her actions, the mountain in Dandora will become a mere hill.

Awwwww and here I was thinking that it was OOC for Damian to wear something like this, but it turned out it was his grandpa who makes him wear kid clothes 😢

[arabian-batboy]

Alfred is really out here making sure all the Batkids dress appropriately for their age, someone give him a raise.

[arabian-batboy]

He goes to watch The Great British Bake Off and come back half an hour later to find Damian wearing the suit and tie, Cassandra in the Pokemon hoodie and Dick in the cocktail dress.

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh

[archosaur-automaton]

The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale. the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going. To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang. Appreciate them while they are still here.

[beabaseball]

I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…

They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.

There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.

That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.

The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.

[jumpingjacktrash]

see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?

those are over a billion years old.

that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?

algae.

those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.

so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.

if u dont acknowledge the fanfics u read, the writer won’t think anyone is actually taking the time to read their stuff, which makes our effort feel wasted and our passions feel worthless

[wintermoonqueen]

Tell. The. Fanfic. Writers. How. You. Feel.

[starscheme]

I will always reblog this. It’s important.

[naruto-scenarios-plus-akatsuki]

Very important.

[dickinson-67]

As a fanfic writer I always get scared that people are going to be upset by my late chapters

[merppppppppppppppppp]

I will always re-blog. Remember that as writers or creative’s in general we are able to improve our craft by getting feedback because it helps us to know what our audience likes and responds to so don’t feel anxiety about commenting because commenting is literally helping and you should never feel anxious about helping someone

[reesie-puff]

please please please tell the writers how ya feel. i write tons on wattpad, and nobody tells me anything about my books. please, it makes us feel unappreciated and like our writing isn’t good.

[lauralestrange7]

This is exactly true…
