Motherfuckin NHS is ridiculous cause 5 max gastric emptying studies a MONTH is just stupid

Like ah yes don’t mind me I’ll just be in so much pain I’m unable to eat more than one meal a day most days and I’ve been waiting since MARCH and there’s still people waiting since DECEMBER 2025

Oh and they prioritise cancer pathway patients as well regardless so fuck anyone else basically

Not to mention it’s taken 2 AND A HALF FUCKIN YEARS TO EVEN GET THE APPOINTMENT TO BOOK THE FUCKIN STUDY IN THE FIRST PLACE

Like ah nah don’t mind me I’ll just be in pain till I die then! And I can’t even NOT eat because I have stupid insulin resistance which causes post prandial hypoglycaemia which then makes me feel even WORSE so the solution is to eat high sugar high carb foods so I don’t get hypoglycaemia as often BUT THEN THEY JUST MAKE ME PUT ON WEIGHT BECAUSE IM STILL HOUSEBOUND AND IN BED 23 HOURS A DAY

I’m just so fuckin tired of needless waiting. Someone tell my body to either get on with it and kill me or fuckin fix itself because I can’t deal with this shit anymore

everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7

[delta-orionis]

If you’re not in the path of totality (the red part), you won’t get to see the full eclipse, but if you’re in the orange parts you’ll still see part of the sun covered!

This does result in funky shadows, like you said:

It’s easiest to see with shadows cast by things like leaves.

You can also make a pinhole projector:

DIY Pinhole Projector to Safely Watch a Solar Eclipse

Instructions on how to DIY a pinhole projector using cardboard and household items, to safely see a solar eclipse.

DO NOT look directly at the sun even if it’s a partial eclipse. Use eclipse glasses or something like the pinhole projector I linked above.

One fun effect I’ve noticed during a partial eclipse is that the temperature will significantly drop for a few hours, which is especially noticeable in the summer. It can drop as much as 30 degrees F (~15 degrees C) depending on how much of the sun is covered in your location, so keep an eye out for that as well.

Have fun watching the eclipse!

One of my favorite ways to play with a partial eclipse is to use a cheese grater or colander:

The holes are perfectly round. But in this moment, the sun was not.

There are SO many ways humans and Eridians compliment each other, and I don't even think some were intentional. For example: Lots of fan content I've seen has been kind of thoughtlessly projecting humanity's heat seeking behaviour onto Eridians. Reading the biology document, however, has made me infer something — Eridians love the cold.

They sleep at night, even in the absence of a light cycle, because that's when the temperature drops. Unlike humans, they don't use blankets. They don't try to preserve heat. They want to cool down faster, because because that's what their body needs shut down and rest! They RELAX in the cold!

Not only that, but their version of breathing is a constant influx of cool air. If they're without that coolant for even a few minutes, they're in serious trouble, and after half an hour, they're dead. Unlike us, they're at constant risk of overheating.

But not while they have a source of cold nearby. Like, for example, a human who lives at a fraction of their temperature.

On the Hail Mary, Grace spends a lot of time pressed against Rocky. Their temperature differences are extreme enough that xenonite can't entirely halt the heat transfer, so it's pleasantly warm. He feels like a cat curling up by the fire. It's relaxing. Of course, he also feels a little bad that he's draping his freezing raincloud of a body all over Rocky, but he figures Rocky puts up with the unpleasant cold okay.

Except: Rocky is chasing the cold just as much as Grace is chasing the heat.

Grace's muscles unwind with a constant heat press. Rocky relaxes with en endless source of peaceful, relieving cooling. What a funny quirk of biology, Rocky thinks, that being so incomprehensibly opposite to each other is so pleasant. What a lovely quirk of fate, that they've been given the opportunity to learn that through each other.

Rocky was going to say "fans of PHM" but Grace panicked! 🏳️‍🌈

[wildminti]

I think the most logical reason for "why can Rocky say that word?" is that he bullied Grace until he got what he wanted (100% success rate)

i think ao3 should have a feature like an anonymous kudos but instead of kudos its "i jorked it to completion" and you can leave as many of these as you want and obviously authors would opt-in to this feature on a per-fic basis but like. i want the stats, you know.

[whoreiorcats]

jerk it to fanfiction??? noooo bro i was just joshing ya. wouldnt that be crazy? haha. fucking got you bro i cant believe youre so gullible. what a far fetched notion. that people would do such a thing. cant believe you fell for it

[teaboot]

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

Was not expecting this many of you to resonate with Millennium Death Plinko

it’s psychological horror to YOU. to me it’s a romcom

[allbuthuman]

it's a romcom to YOU. to me it's psychological horror

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

having a headache while hydrated is so unfair. you were supposed to protect me.

hey, don't cry. fictional character in dire & perilous situations. ok?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

in hindsight, growing up as an aromantic person who didn't know aromanticism was a thing...it woulda been really easy for me to assume that something was wrong with me, that I was "broken" or "missing" some piece of humanity.

luckily I was autistic, oblivious, and had a huge ego. it literally never occurred to me to frame it as a "me" problem. i just thought every single person i knew was a dumbass

at least now we know why he has yet to return when Britain is in peril

[kitkatmoose]

We need a flick where King Arthur wakes in modern Jamaica and is very confused.

[byjove]

I think that would be so much funny. He wakes up on a remote beach in Jamaica and he only speaks/understands Brythonic and Medieval Latin. Locals assume he was a tourist who fell from a cruise ship or received a head injury and floated away from a resort. The authorities cannot match his description to any missing persons reports and his fingerprints and DNA produce no hits on INTERPOL. They suspect he may be Welsh or French because the language he speaks resembles Welsh or Breton but France and the UK both state he is not a citizen of their country. Stateless and deeply confused, he is taken in by the community near the beach where he was found, being cared for by a number of local families and doing odd jobs. He slowly learns English and adjusts to the contemporary world, uncertain if his belief that he is the legendary King Arthur was formed by whatever traumatic event caused him to end up Jamaica or if he is actually King Arthur and Prydain is in eminent peril. Mysterious letters from Morgan begin to reaffirm his belief he is King Arthur. He must choose between staying in Jamaica and continuing the happy life he has made for himself or finding a way to get back to Britain without any documentation.

ancient king white boy stuns locals by ordering in perfect Jamaican Patois

[byjove]

He gets to Britain and everyone expects him to sound like a posh noble Englishman because that is the picture Malory painted but he prefers to speak Welsh and when he has to speak English, he speaks with a thick Jamaican accent.
