There are other things I should be doing, but… @hiddlestontolkienluv - Tumblr Blog

i love naming the elephant in the room (porn) in conversation because you're not supposed to do that and people are shocked but then they always agree with me. "teen boys are a menace these days" -> it's because of porn. "that's not normal behaviour" -> it's porn addiction. "does that imagery make anyone else uncomfortable" -> it's inspired by porn. "the way women are characterized" -> it's porn mythology. like ladies we are allowed to stay this stuff out loud

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

bowditch

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

see how easy it was to give that information!

siryouarebeingmocked

I'm pretty sure if a parent goes against doctors orders and harms their kid, that parent is still responsible for their actions. Is this post implying otherwise?

yetanotherdayofdrudgery

I didn't read it that way. I believe the implication is that people are more likely to disobey instructions that seem arbitrary and more likely to obey instructions if they know there's a good reason for those instructions.

Despite this, medical personnel seldom take a minute to explain the logic behind seemingly arbitrary rules.

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

muttsandmustelidae

Because people will pay attention to cute animals, here are some of the critically endangered/endangered species housed at the Nashville Zoo!

The Amur Leopard and Clouded Leopard (which recently celebrated its 50th cub born at the zoo!)

The Sumatran Tiger

The Red Ruffed Lemur and Ring-Tailed Lemur

The Cotton-Top Tamarin and White-Cheeked Gibbon

The Colobus Monkey and De Brazza’s Monkey

And the Mexican Spider Monkey!

Look at them!!!! Look at them and fight like hell to save them!!!!

Adding my own images of Nashville Zoo to this. It’s super important to stand, fight, and continue to spread awareness on this.

There’s so many other great animals at this zoo, and it's done so much in teaching people about animals and conservation.

Other animals includes bats, btw.

Developers are seeking to turn land into a 69,000-square-foot data center next to the Nashville zoo.

Amid a growing number of data centers in Tennessee, the Nashville Zoo is pushing back against a proposed facility near its property, citing

Dude. The NOISE. All I can think about is the noise. None of the animals will be able to survive there anymore.

Reducing the calories does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

Reducing the fat content does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

Reducing the sugars does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

The only way to increase the healthiness of your food is by adding additional nutrients to it.

I saw a video of someone complaining that fucking chicken tikka masala "wasn't healthy" so they made a "healthier version" that was, in fact, LESS HEALTHY. Because they made it with only fat free dairy products, rendering many of the vitamins they would have otherwise gotten from that meal utterly useless, because the body needs fats in order to absorb them properly.

Two tbsp of brown sugar does not render a meal "unhealthy." Full fat dairy products do not render a meal "unhealthy." Calorically dense foods do not render a meal "unhealthy."

If you're really concerned about your health, add more nutrients. Eat extra veggies or extra protein. But you're not actually worried about your health. You're worried about your weight.

You're worried that in the process of eating a homemade meal with lean protein and veggies and a rich, delicious sauce you will consume more energy than you can use today.

You're worried that energy might be stored so that your body can use it when it needs to later.

You're worried that your relationship with gravity might change. You've been taught to worry about that. You've been taught to misconstrue manufacturered body issues as being "health conscious." But you're not doing things to promote health. You're just trying to reduce your energy consumption no matter what.

And I am begging you to consider, that this is not actually a "health conscious" mindset at all.

*gripping you by the shoulders and speaking with off putting intensity* I don’t think there was something unique about the Loki that became the God of Stories and Time. I think the majority of Loki variants would have done the same thing in his situation. The message of the whole thing isn’t “this Loki is different” the message is “this is Loki”. It’s not “this Loki is special because he chooses to do all this” it’s “this is what Loki will choose to do here”. We see other Loki’s die with the same motivation. We see Classic Loki die distracting Alioth so there’s a chance to stop the TVA and give variants across the multiverse a chance to survive and we see sacred timeline Loki sacrifice himself to Thanos, to give Thor a chance to make it out alive. It’s not that this particular Loki would sacrifice everything for a place he cared about and people he loved, it’s that Loki will sacrifice everything for a place he cares about and people he loves. Do you understand. It’s very important to me that you understand. Where are you going come back.

I also love how Loki pulls Thor back a bit in the first one! He still has that caution we see on Jotunheim back in the first movie! And the way he shoves Thor out of harm’s way in the third gif is so beautiful! It reminds me of how he protected Jane in The Dark World. Even after everything, they still care for each other!

When you go in blind to the only movie at the AMC that isn't a goddamn mega-sequel and end up going'wait, holy shit this fucks, who made this?' for two hours of dark fantasy and magical realism stuffed with practical effects and puppetry and stunning set design and costumes only to get smacked at the end by the realization that apparently we now live in the era where Bryan Fuller wrote and directed and produced a new movie and Tumblr hasn't informed me a full week after it came out. There were five people in my showing. Please see Dust Bunny this Christmas.

Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...

Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?

Hate it. 👎

Honestly, The Bluff, gave me everything I need: a bad ass bitch, Karl Urban, and pirates.

noturbutcher

I just finished watching the movie and I highly recommend it. It's intense, entertaining, and visually stunning. It keeps you hooked from beginning to end.

Karl Urban is incredible. He has a screen presence that fills the screen without needing to exaggerate anything. Every look, every silence… it all adds up. He's one of those actors who doesn't repeat a character; he builds a new one each time.

And Priyanka Chopra Jonas surprised me in a good way. Great performance.

A solid story, powerful scenes, and performances that truly carry the film.

If you like intense stories with strong, well-developed characters, watch it. It's totally worth it.

(And yes… in the scenes with the two of them, I was looking more at Karl, but that's just me 🤭🔥)
