Galileo’s Middle Finger

The finger was removed by one Anton Francesco Gori on March 12, 1737, 95 years after Galileo’s death. It now sits in the Florence History of Science Museum.

Stop relying on astrology to tell you who you are. Find that and live it on your own. Stop analysing your life like it's all decided, you have choices to make and a person to become ☁️☁️☁️

Something nobody told me about caffeine is that you can get withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it

Like

I went from consuming NO caffeine, to slowly escalating to around 150-300mg of caffeine a day to keep up with sleep issues, to suddenly stopping cold turkey when I flew out to the middle of nowhere and couldn’t get more and it was straight up a solid 5-6 days of thinking I had the flu

Nausea, spins, major fatigue, and some seriously heinous headaches

It was so bad that after two weeks without I swore I’d never pick up an energy drink again and made an appointment with a doctor to fix my sleep issues

Like. Not to be all “oooooh your body is a temple” but if I knew quitting CAFFEINE had similar effects as running out of my prescription meds I might have been a bit more careful drinking it in the first place

I'm sorry. My soapbox has been activated.

Caffeine is a

Drug

And don't get me wrong, I love drugs. I think they're rad. I think there should be fewer barriers between most drugs and adults using them.

However, something that I think is fundamentally immoral is giving someone a drug without telling them:

That it's a drug

What the full possible effects of the drug are including side effects

What the withdrawal effects are like

And society treats caffeine like it's not a drug. We act like it's not a stimulant. We sell it on street corners. We sell in schools, to children.

We don't tell you what the withdrawals are like. We don't even acknowledge that there will be any, even though they can be severe.

In addition to what OP listed, other possible withdrawal symptoms include:

Hand Tremors

Anxiety

Irritability

Brain Fog

Low Mood

Insomnia (yes, counterintuitive as it may seem this is common withdrawal symptom)

Muscle Pain/Stiffness

Caffeine is a stimulant drug that causes physical dependency quite rapidly. The withdrawal symptoms can persist for days to months.

I reiterate that I think drugs are cool. I'm drinking a caffeinated beverage as I type this. But I feel strongly that we should treat drugs like they're drugs. We should not pretend that the legality of a substance negates its status as A Drug™

So. It’s September 4th 2025.

A lot has happened.

I’m back. I’m 5 years sober. I quit my toxic job of 10 years. I’m healthier now than I used to be. I’m looking to go back to school and actually commit. I’m in a committed relationship with the most amazing boyfriend in the world for the past 3 years. We have an apartment together and it feels like home.

Life is good. Really good.

I think differently, now. I really changed the entire aesthetic of my tumblr and feel a little guilt and shame while skimming through it.

Not to shame porn blogs, but this tumblr wasn’t supposed to be one of them. Yet, during my time with addiction and how I enjoyed “lost boy” mentality, my blog became unrecognizable.

I’m going to start skimming and removing posts that don’t suit this page.

If you came because of the posts, I’m sorry.

If you stayed despite the change, thank you, and I’m sorry also.

It’s nice to be back.

Is “spoopy” still a thing?
