people replying to my "you can just say you have food poisoning americans always have food poisoning" comment on my thanksgiving excuses post with delighted agreement that they too have noticed americans constantly have food poisoning, but you have forgotten or have missed that we did an actual survey just a scant few months ago and the americans on this site reported in GREAT NUMBERS that we would continue eating at a restaurant that gave us diarrhea/vomiting something like 4-5 times (or forever), while almost everyone else in the world kept it to a solid once, or twice if they really weren;t sure. food poisoning is *genuinely* out of control in the usa, we have awful food safety at every level of the food production chain down to the actual people cooking food at home not understanding temperatures or washing their hands. it was a whole thing, it went on for weeks, and it branched off in multiple directions like "please use your dishwasher if you have one" and "what do you mean you cant tell what gave you food poisoning? oh it's because you're always getting food poisoning? wait what do you mean 'everything your mom/grandma cooks gives ou food poisoning so it doesnt matter'?" anyway yes there is a food safety crisis going on in this country and its getting worse lmao
one single incident of food poisoning can permanently disable you btw. its one of the primary ways people end up with narcolepsy, POTS, MCAS, ME-CFS, gastroparesis and/or fibromyalgia. "americans are constantly getting sick" is an actual thing, and most americans appear to think that having food poisoning multiple times a year is just a normal part of eating food
The fear of abandonment isn’t just about people leaving, it’s the gut-wrenching belief that you aren’t worth staying for.
I got curious, so without looking up the reddit thread because I hate reddit, I went to the list of Barbie's careers. Because of course people have dated lists of those.
Her first 28 years are fairly tame, until we reach 1987's Canadian Mountie Barbie. Reasonable odds for a cop, even if they're not a USAmerican cop.
in 1991, we get US Air Force Pilot Barbie, US Marine Corps Sergeant Barbie, US Navy Petty Officer Barbie. There's also 1992's US Army Barbie, if those guys were feeling left out. I'm also ignoring the 1989 US Army Barbie because that one is 100% a stolen valour runway look, not a uniform.
Going to run my autism over those four.
US Navy Petty Officer Barbie is wearing quartermaster's rating insignia, so no combat for her.
US Army Barbie is wearing an airborne maroon beret with no rank insignia that I could see, but she's loaded down with medical supplies, so I'm gonna say combat medic, but only as many kills as her other medical endeavours.
US Air Force Pilot Barbie is wearing a jacket that looks like a Top Gun tie-in. The unit patch is just the USAF coat of arms, and the name patch says she's a Captain. VERY confusingly, the plane on the box art is an F-5, which had just recently been retired. But its USAF usage was almost all in the OPFOR Aggressor squadrons, which is... "come play enemy planes for our training exercises".
US Marine Corps Sergeant Barbie is wearing E-5 Sergeant's insignia, and three medals (she's in dress uniform). To my eye, and allowing for badly printed colours, looks like Navy and Marine Achievement Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, and the South West Asia Service Medal. The first two are fairly obvious "Barbie Is Well Behaved" stuff, but uh. That last one though?
USMC Barbie was in Desert Storm.
And if she was in a support role there, well, 1993 gave us USAmerican Cop Barbie. Case closed.
I’ll have thousands of offspring and dominate lifeforms beyond my comprehension, you’ll slip on a rock and turn into glue. Kisses!

btw I will only resume gardenia posting if Oscar comes back to tumblr. which means you all need to unblock him and be nice to him. yes I know his blog sucks but deal with it
Do it then
This is why art is important, in case you were wondering.
And kids will be so productive if you make it a game. I bet at least 50% of the kids who met this sculpture went and intentionally hunted for litter to feed it.
The trick to having a lot of friends is to meet ppl and then keep bothering them to hang out
Not kidding, if you enjoy someone’s company ask them to go have coffee with you or something. It hurts nobody and you might gain a really cool friendship
Are you alright, honey? You've barely put your blorbo in situations
Okay but back when I could afford a therapy my psychiatrist asked if I had written any fanfiction or planned any out in my head, and I was "nah, not really." And she nodded and looked down at her notes and was like "so how do you feel about possibly trying Zoloft?"
I started laughing and she was like "I know it sounds funny but it's been six months without you engaging in your favorite hobby and that's a sign the depression is getting to a point where we might why try some treatments with meds in addition to therapy."
So like. yeah.
So, babe, ARE you okay? You've barely put your blorbo in situations
watched a tiktok where the girl was talking about how people give black cats credit for acting wayyyy cooler and smarter and more dignified than they really do
Woman: My boyfriend is such a golden retriever
Me (trying to be open minded but clearly disgusted): Oh cool. I didn't know certain laws had changed
Sometimes I get in a bad place and think that humans are intrinsically terrible but here's the thing: the floors in my apartment building are really thin. I can hear everything the guy in the unit above me does. Sometimes I hear him sneeze and I say "bless you" reflexively. And today I sneezed and heard him call out "bless you" to me.
Humans are good. We are good. At our core, we are silly and weird and good.
