hey you should look into how to do an abdominal massage on yourself, also yoga poses that aid in digestion

your intestines are basically a series of muscles that just push food thru your body, but all your muscles are connected so you can use additional muscles to help out

it's one of the holistic health things I learned about before getting long covid and it's really helped

summer in the northern hemisphere means it's hot, people are travelling a lot, and going out to eat more in general but also at fairs/festivals/barbecues. All of this can mess up your digestion and it's nice to have an option to do something besides for just waiting it out or taking medication

Learn how you can use the "ILU" self-massage technique for bloating, constipation, diarrhea and general abdominal

this technique is at least pretty similar to the way I was taught after an emergency colostomy placement. Seconding the above, knowing how to manipulate your body to support what you need it to do is a great skill to have in your pocket. it makes life easier when you DO need it.

Scrambled egg slime/Fuligo septica/trollsmör, a species of slime mould.

Fuligo septica, commonly known in Sweden as trollsmör ("troll butter"), belong to a remarkable group of single-celled organisms that spend part of their lives as a giant, multinucleate cell known as a plasmodium.

During this stage, they can slowly move across decaying wood, engulfing bacteria, fungi and other microscopic food in their path. It may only travel a few centimetres a day, but it is very much alive and on the move. When conditions change, the plasmodium transforms into a spore-producing fruiting body, which is usually the stage we notice in the forest.

Slime moulds have fascinated people for centuries because they seem to appear overnight and vanish just as quickly. In Nordic folklore, trollsmör was said to be milk spilled by a magical creature known as a bjära or "troll hare", sent out by witches to steal milk from their neighbours' cows. Wherever a little of the stolen milk was dropped in the forest, trollsmör was believed to appear.

The real explanation is perhaps even more extraordinary than the old legends.

Suddenly got hit with the concept plus a very detailed visual of Moist von Lipwig donning his famous Postmaster General suit via magical girl transformation. And now I am supposed to go about my day? As if I hadn't just experienced what I can only describe as a divine vision??

Good news, our deliverance is at hand!

(Deliverance, gettit? Hilarious, I know)

I also posted all of these in response to an ask here, but this version has some edits made to it so is by all accounts superior

Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...

and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.

I pull up my slide show. The first slide says “I do not want to financially support the Church of the Latter Day Saints in any way”. There are murmurs of agreement and approval from the room

Next slide. “Brandon Sanderson is a member of the LDS”. The muttering has changed tone

“It’s not a very big amount of money though.” Someone in the audience pipes up. “His cut is only a small fraction of the cost of the book, and then-“ my next slide shows an income breakdown, it is titled ‘a small fraction of $10,000,000 is still a big number’

I’m sweating. The following slides explain tithing rules. The vibe of the room has shifted. I start to doubt I’m getting out of here alive

okay so. the idea for this comic was born on my first playthrough when I saw candles near the monolith and thought "huh. weird. someone must have put them here..." And then I thought of Renoir who brings them every now and then because he misses his wife...... A cool symbol for grief and mourning too that works for both Aline and Renoir

I listened to a lot of hozier's "through me (the flood)" while drawing. Such a Dessendres-coded song I can't

Looking through a Toyfare magazine from 2004 and found what might be my favorite ad ever

[klapollo]

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.

I reblogged this last year and then immediately bought some of this tea and it was the best decision. It is *SO AWESOME* to have a pitcher of Thai tea ready to go in your fridge.

[tehnakki]

So. Fucking. Delicious.

This is a game changer. I'm going to become 90% thai ice tea by volume by the end of this summer.
