we had a bar guest tonight who has been in a couple times before and she was rly morose this time and was like thanks for being here i have been feeling so alone

and then she told us she was really torn up because her close friend died yesterday, and also that this close friend is the man who cured smallpox (????) and then after she left we were like there is literally no fucking way that her friend cured fucking smallpox so we googled it and the person who cured smallpox did in fact die on January 26th.... but in 1823

i have been haunted by this all night. like. what?

Some of the categories for the NYT Connections fills me with hatred and wrath. What do you mean “dog breeds with the first letter changed” i’ll kill you

Fury. Rage. Flames on the side of my face.

When I was in the hospital, they gave me a big bracelet that said ALLERGY, but like. I'm allergic to bees. Were they going to prescribe me bees in there.

So there's a medication called hyaluronidase. It's used to make other medications absorb better, because it makes the cell wall more permeable.

One common usage is to make local anesthetic more effective during surgery, for instance. It's used in a number of injected medications.

Bee stings contain an enzyme very similar to this medication, so sometimes, people with bee allergies have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

This is called cross-reactivity, where your body mistakes something for the thing it's actually allergic to, and has an allergic reaction anyway. For instance, sometimes people with latex allergies also are allergic to bananas and other fruits. They don't actually contain latex, but there are some similar proteins.

Apparently, hyraluronidase used in humans is derived from one of four sources: sheep testicles, cow testicles, cow testicles again, and GMO hamster ovaries.

tl;dr: They won't inject you with bees, but they might inject you with purified cow testicle juice, and your body might say 'eh, cow balls are BASICALLY bees' and try to kill you anyway.

The world is full of such beauty and wonder. Thank you for that sentence.

pros of having a large vocabulary: many words i know

cons of having a large vocabulary: many words i only know the vibe for

I hate that ‘bad dream’ just means ‘nightmare’ instead of ‘shitty quality dream.’ I had a bad dream last night. It wasn’t scary it just didn’t make a lot of narrative sense

Peeta: alright the romance strategy won’t help us in the Quell and besides Katniss and I are just friends so we need to focus and train and prepare our minds to be as sharp and our bodies to be as strong as possible and —

Katniss: 😡 where are my kisses? 😡

[rosegardeninwinter]

sometimes I read this passage in Miette’s voice:

you PUSH katniss? you train her body like the football player? oh! oh! jail for peeta! jail for peeta for One Thousand Years!!!!!

[hungryhungrygames]

i think the funniest part in the entirety of the hunger games trilogy is during cf when katniss convinces herself she likes gale romantically cause she feels like she is the reason why he got whipped

and then like a page later she says like “i wish peeta was in my bed because i cant sleep without the comfort of his arms” and she has to literally REMIND HERSELF SHE ISNT SUPPOSE TO THINK LIKE THAT CAUSE SHE CHOSE GALE

sometimes it frightens me how much i love my wife?? we’ve been together 9 years and not a day goes by where she doesn’t make my heart squeeze a little with the near-pain of loving her. my worst fear in the world is her death. i know it would wreck me beyond repair. it’s terrifying for one person to hold so much of my heart, to have the power to destroy it with the simple act of dying.

Netflix has a lot of nerve crying and screaming and throwing up and having a tantrum about how password sharing is killing their business and making them hemorrhage money and how they're just struggling to stay afloat, then turning around and spending 72 billion dollars trying to become a monopoly by buying fucking Warner Bros
