UPDATE 4/11/2023:

I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!

This is such a concise and informative resource! PLEASE boost this and keep each other safe! The pandemic is NOT OVER.

My toxic fandom take is that I think that it's awful how much we can talk to creators and get answers from them word of god style. We should be out here in a godless place rooting for scraps of lore in the media like truffle pigs out in the fields

(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)

I need to you all to know that the original caption for this is : “POV your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday.”

this is a highly controversial opinion, I have no doubt King Arthur was bisexual but I think he was one of the few people in Camelot not interested in fucking Lancelot. he wanted to retain him as an employee but it did not cross his mind that Lancelot was fucking his wife because Lancelot is such a weird little twerp that he did not perceive him as a sexual being. my interpretation.

[byjove]

So true. The Galehaut/Lancelot relationship was like a dynastic marriage to resolve the conflict between two imperial powers. I like to imagine Galehaut was like “I have decided to abandon my plans of capturing [what is now] all of southern England and surrender to you despite my military advantage, all for the love of my achingly beautiful and spectacular new male wife, Lancelot du Lac.” and Arthur was like “Okay. Weird. Not homophobic or anything but Lancelot? You’re in love with Lancelot?”

[byjove]

Co-signed. That’s some real shit you said. Also, unlike Arthur, he was willing to yield and share his lover for everyone’s benefit. And then he died for love. A real freak. One of the best freaks in 13th century French literature.

he’s the most interesting gay wifeguy in literary gay knight history

I started a mental sentence with, “well, when we diagram the Arthurian polycule-“

And then realised that would be such a good title for a paper. “Diagramming the Arthurian Polycule: Mapping the Dynamics of the Round Kitchen Table”

[roboticdreams]

robot friend does not agree. 'failure' is inability to fulfill directive. human has no programmed directive. human evolutionary directive is to live. you are alive. everything else is bonus.

I’ve been saving this message in my inbox for a long time because it always makes me feel better. I needed it today. Thank you

can i come to your house and make you know some information

[luna-azzurra]

Steal from everything you love. watched a movie and thought "wow that scene hit different"? figure out why and use it. read a book where the banter made you kick your feet? study it. saw a tiktok that made you Feel Things? that's research. keep a notes app full of random lines you'll never use. screenshot tumblr posts at 4am for "inspiration." your influences should be obvious and chaotic. remix everything. that's not theft that's apprenticeship.

i think being able to identify and deconstruct an irrational feeling should make it go away. i literally solved your riddle puzzle master can u let me OUT the damn TORTURE LABYRINTH

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

[columbossluttywaist]

something that feels almost taboo as a trans man is being able to personally relate to aspects of womanhood. remembering life when you were still a girl. I mean this seriously, and I've never seen anything about how trans men CAN have valid opinions in "girls only" conversations. trans man are allowed to relate to things society says only women experience, and I think it should be said more. this applies to trans women in "boys only" topics too. if you've identified as a gender before and have experiences specific to that gender, you should be allowed to talk about it and not be criticized because "that was a long time ago" or "you're not (other gender) anymore so your opinion is invalid". we were all children at some point but our childhood memories don't become incorrect just because we grow up. I think we should talk about this more.

[tricky-pockets]

I've noticed this too, and what makes it extra weird is that it's not at all uncommon for us to lean hard into our assigned gender for a while before figuring out that we can't make it work. Sometimes that's HOW we figure it out, because we did it as hard as we could and still weren't happy. Especially if we don't figure out we're trans until we're already full adults.

I spent a lot of time in girls-only spaces and roles. I'm not currently a daughter, a Girl Scout, a cheerleader, a girlfriend, or a stripper, but I have been those things. I'm not going to retcon the first 27 years of my life.
