This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.
I just wanna add to clarify the psychosomatic thing.
That word DOES NOT MEAN you’re making it up. It doesn’t mean you’re imagining the symptom. What it means is that the symptom ISN’T DIRECTLY CAUSED BY ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY CAUSE IT.
I fought to get a PCOS diagnosis for 2 and a half years. For the ENTIRE time I was fighting, I was dealing with 3 cysts that were not going away by themselves and eventually required surgery to remove. At one point close to the end of the battle, I suddenly went blind. I was visiting my parents and was standing on the veranda looking out over the tree we had planted in memory of my dog and suddenly I got one of the shooting pains that I was quite frankly used to at that point and my vision started to go dark. It was like the sun was setting while being completely hidden behind storm clouds but it was 2pm in the middle of Summer on a clear day. Within about 30 seconds I couldn’t see ANYTHING. I was 27 years old and I was screaming for my mother.
My mum raced me to her doctor (he was a 15 minute drive away as opposed to 45 minutes to the nearest hospital) and he quickly worked out that there was nothing wrong with my eyes and what had happened was totally unrelated to them. Then he said it was psychosomatic and I freaked out, yelling that I was NOT making this up and I definitely wasn’t imagining it. Very quickly he calmed me down and said he believed me and I had misunderstood. He explained that whatever was going on with my abdominal pains (he suggested PCOS which I hadn’t even heard of at that point) had been ignored for so long that my body was starting to do things other than the normal pain response to try to draw my attention to the problem. My sight going was my body basically jumping around in front of me going “HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME HELLLOOOOOOO??????”
He gave me some prescription strength painkillers and my sight started to come back as soon as they started to kick in. About 45 minutes after it started I could see well enough to walk around without help and within a day and a half I was back to normal. On top of that I finally had a scan booked to figure out what the hell was causing all the pain.
Psychosomatic symptoms are NOT imagined or fabricated or happening for “no reason”. Experiencing them DOES NOT make you a liar. It makes you someone who has been battling with something serious for so long that your own body has started to get impatient with you.
I completely agree. Thank you for sharing this.
Psychosomatic symptoms are literally your body flipping random alarm switches just to get any alarm blaring because you’ve been ignoring the regular ones
straight dude: what if my d&d character was like really violently homophobic. not because i am but like it would be dark and edgy
me: (internally) oscar wilde was right
in reference to this quote (tho he was also just right in general)
What ingame fights look like before you figured out the controls.

This is me… all the time.
I relate to this on so many levels as both a gamer and person.
the implication that gamers aren’t necessarily people haunts me
it’s so fucked up when you see something you KNOW is a portal to somewhere but you can’t figure out how to activate it. this is the most frustrating feeling that plagues modern man.
I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be comfy.
Want to have one really nice set of plates and silverware for company and Thanksgiving.
Want to be able to buy a new outfit and a good bra at least a couple times a year.
Want to be able to give “just because” gifts.
Want to burn incense and candles in my home daily, and have nice soaps.
Want to be able to donate to charity frequently and without worry.
Want to buy hardcover books to read and put on a shelf for my kids to read someday.
Want to have candies in bowls for people who visit.
Want to be able to take my young siblings and cousins to a movie and let them get the big popcorn they won’t finish, because there’s magic in just having it.
Want to have a linen closet or at least a linen shelf.
Want to go see live local theater several times a year.
Want to have a bottle of wine or champagne in the house for when I suddenly need to celebrate.
Want to have a kitchen with basic baking supplies so I can bake bread on the weekend, and pies for special occasions.
I just want to be comfy.
That is my definition of ‘wealth’, as contrasted with ‘excess’. As my mother in law put it – if I can see a little something in a store that I know a friend would love, and just BUY it for them without having to worry about whether I can afford it in the budget, that means I’m well off. And that? That is what I want.
For everyone.
Everyone.

Me, a 12 year old child reading “A Series of Unfortunate Events” 14 years ago: What a fascinating but terribly upsetting journey these kids are on! I’m sure they can handle it though, Violet is 15 and therefor very Old and Mature. She got this.
Me, now 26, watching these small children be tortured: what the fuck what the fuck what the f—
just made a spidersona theyre an australian spiderman where instead of getting cool powers from the spider bite they died after a single day
I’m losing it
@captainkirkk
“#i thought it took a few days for spider venom to kill you but i just googled it AND#it can take like 15mins #cool cool cool. no doubt no doubt no doubt.”
oh no don’t worry, that’s not true unless “ranker.com” is talking about how fast it takes the funnelweb to kill a mouse. There’s no spider venom in the world strong enough to kill a human faster than they can get to a hospital, as evidenced by the fact that hundreds of Australians are still bitten by the Sydney Funnelweb every single year, but not a single death has been recorded since the antivenin was developed decades ago. And then even BEFORE a treatment was perfected, the funnelweb still only ever killed 13 Australians in over half a century, a rate of one in thousands of bite victims. That’s actually still the highest kill rate of any known spider….there simply aren’t any more dangerous than that. The Black Widow for instance also bites thousands of people a year over in the United States, but doesn’t have one proven kill in this country. What you really have to fear in Australia are the large mammals, cassowaries, jellyfish and certain plants.
…certain plants?
If you touch the “gympie gympie tree” Dendrocnide moroides with bare skin, its nearly microscopic needles break off and release a neurotoxin so excruciatingly painful that most people vomit and/or soil themselves within a few seconds. The agony continues for several days straight and has been described as “like being burned by hot acid and electrocuted at the same time.” An unverified claim says that a military serviceman mistakenly used a gympie leaf as toilet paper and wound up shooting himself in the head to escape the torture, though the plant was nicknamed “the suicide tree” long before that story circulated. A burning sensation and little echoes of the full-blown pain can subsequently persist for several years or the rest of your life
reading this post is like being punched in a million different directions at once
For the 3rd year in a row I’m seeing people give Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events a try and then get disapointed/angry that nothing good ever comes out of it that everything always seem to go wrong for the Baudelaire and I’m just… if only someone, anyone…. had warned them

apparently food inspections stopped bc of the shutdown so things bout to be real fucked up for some of us
“The Food and Drug Administration has stopped routine food safety inspections of seafood, fruits, vegetables and many other foods at high risk of contamination because of the federal government’s shutdown…”
Most companies are probably going to continue their regular food safety procedures, but a few things you can do to reduce some personal risk:
Buy hard, solid veggies and fruits (apples, melons) or ones with rinds (bananas are probably fine). Scrub the peel/rind thoroughly with soap and water before consumption.
The more solid and dense the meat, the less likely it is for contamination to spread very far. Buy your meat in solid cuts, NOT GROUND. Especially not ground chicken rn, salmonella bad.
Cook things thoroughly. Follow guidelines for the internal temperatures meat is supposed to reach and stick to those guidelines. Use a meat thermometer. Make your steaks well done for a while.
I’d stay away from shellfish as a whole if I were you. The diseases you can get from it are some of the nastier ones. No sushi for a while, too. If you have fish, make sure it was frozen following anti-parasitic guidelines and cook thoroughly.
AVOID LEAFY GREENS. This is where we’ve been seeing the most outbreaks lately, so be very careful.
The pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, and the very young are the ones most at risk in an outbreak. If you are in one of these groups, be extremely cautious and avoid soft cheeses and prepackaged deli meats. Check on friends and family in these groups. Report symptoms of foodborne illness to a doctor so they can report to the state health depts that are still running.
Even with these in mind, remember that most outbreaks of foodborne illness are due to things like improper cooking and storage. Stay safe out there, folks 💙
If you can say I’m sorry to someone that has had a family member or friend pass away, then you can say I’m sorry for all the racist/sexist/homophobic/bigotry shit and privilege that you are lucky enough to have
What to do to a popular nationalist (racist/sexist/homophobia even to people born there that aren’t like them) when even though they incite hate speech and violence towards others, they technically aren’t saying it themselves so they can’t really be reported?
No really. What do you do with that?
There is someone that I know that tried SO HARD to prove that she’s normal, that when I say something like “you know when...” she claims to have no idea what I’m talking about (because I am proudly a weird person) thinking that I’m weird, when actually EVERYONE EXPERIENCES THIS!! This is someone I am like family with, but they are DESPERATE to be considered SO FUCKING NORMAL when if it’s true, they are actually kind of freaky????
And they always reply with the phrase or insinuation that it’s “because IM NORMAL” that they don’t experience this.....like most of these are just human biology, but they refuse to accept that it happens to them???? Like stop being so fucking thirsty for approval, even though it’s just when it’s just two of us in the room, it makes me sooooo fucking sick of being near them
plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome
Look, I’ll go on your stupid adventure, but you better leave me the fuck alone when we get back.
