there’s a post on tumblr about like. if you could do something to bring people a little relief, why wouldn’t you do it? which has unironically informed my practice as a nursing student and patient care tech

[meangirlnurse]

i’m glad no one made any unpleasant comments on this post that might distract from the message because that would really suck

[haroldjaffe]

So many beautiful instances of kindness in the comments!

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

[dietspam16]

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this already

Me when I read a book by a famous author that’s a modern classic and everyone says it’s really good and then it’s really good

our idiotic ancestors used to believe stuff that's not true but luckily we've now figured out all the true things to believe in

Not really. Tumblr has only existed for 19 years.

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

[ex-libris-craux]

mostly missing me but i know a bunch of folks that are right in the path 🥰 enjoy it for me, my lovelies!

"warm, shallow seas" is one of the most beautiful phrases in paleontology and it's everywhere... these mollusks lived in warm, shallow seas... scientists think that photosynthetic life evolved in warm, shallow seas... in that era the Earth was covered by warm, shallow seas...

I wish I was resting by an antediluvian warm, shallow sea

it’s so hard for me to not doxx myself every single day btw. my oversharer’s spirit is being stifled by internet safety

[podcastwizard]

can anyone think of any other words that use o' to denote "of the?" all i can think of is o'lantern (jack o'lantern), o'clock, and o' the wisp (will o' the wisp)

[podcastwizard]

this is more along the lines of what i was thinking

but this is probably my favorite answer

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

The thing about doing house and yard work is like. You would think that you could go out and weed until you get tired, and then come in and do something a bit more low-intensity like tile or wood cutting, then have a cup of tea and go back out into the yard. BUT. High intensity works like weeding results in The Tremblies. And you canNOT handle a circular saw when you have The Tremblies. So clearing a patch of the garden lays you up for like an hour at the computer, making multiple typos (because of The Tremblies), so even writing a chapter of your story isn't convenient enough to bother with. Weeds should not have this kind of time commitment outside of the actual weeding.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

You would think that a bit of sugar would help with The Tremblies but it does NOT. A bit of sugar helps with The Dizzies. The Tremblies cannot be bargained with, and they cannot be fought. No power tool (except a drill which hardly even counts as a power tool) can be used with The Tremblies, and I have run out of things that need drilling.

Fascinating level of variation in the advice in the comments

The level of variation grows

I got a comment telling me "that's not how sleeping pills work". Annoyed, I said yes, that is, because when I take sleeping pills, that's how they feel. The commenter immediately switched tones from ugh to OMG as they asked follow-ups and then said I should talk to my doctor. I wasn't going to, but eh, I had an appointment the next morning, so i figured I might as well.

Turns out I'm allergic to a key ingredient in over the counter sleeping pills and I've been nearly dying on a regular basis. So. This is a PSA to commenters: your nitpicks are never too nitpicky to be said. They might save someone.

Ahaha. Big "Turns out it was the carbon monoxide" reddit thread energy here.

My mom was once in a class with a guy who kept dozing off and annoying everyone with his snoring... until the classmate who was a nurse took one look at him and went "You're getting that sleep apnea checked out now before it kills you". You never know what you don't know!

Anyone else notice the tumblr app being really glitchy

You'll have to go somewhere else, little boy. This is no place for you.
