You’re tired. Burnt out. Exhausted. Stressed.

This lowers your capacity for emotional regulation.

You’ll cry more easily. Get dragged into low moods more easily. Simple little things where you’re like ‘dang, that shouldn’t hit so hard,’ will wallop you.

This will trick you into thinking you’re weak and can’t handle life. A loser.

Not so my friend.

It’s a signal that you need a nap, need to allow for more sleep at night, need to prioritize and scale back on what you can accomplish in a day, need to take a mental health day or even a leave.

Something’s got to give.

But!

It’s not your self worth.

Emancipated duels. Photo by Pavel Kurmilev

Baroness Lubinska who presided over the famous duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg in 1892, insisted that the duelists remove their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. Being a doctor, the baroness had seen many instances of septic infection in soldiers for this very reason throughout her years of medical training.

“The cause of the duel is reputed to be an argument over arrangements for the Vienna Musical and Theatrical Exhibition.” - I like these ladies.

we are on like covid variant #100037 and rsv/flu/pneumonia cases are rising and people will show up unmasked and be like “yeah i’ve been sick for days :/” like. ok. Get the fuck away from me then? why are you out here breathing on everything. the very least you could be doing is masking. NOT hacking into open air every two seconds.

i feel genuinely insane for getting annoyed whenever people just cough into their hands and touch shit or directly cough into the air but it’s like. that’s bad. right. that is rude. that is not something you should be doing. above the age of three. can we acknowledge this. Hello

Honestly I think this is an excellent step for us as a culture and species but man a lot of older humans are pissed off about it.

“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”

I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.

Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

Eukaryotic cell gang!! We love women in STEM.

The organelles of the cells have been translated into human anatomy, so the nucleus is the brain, the vacuole function as the lungs, and the mitochondria is the heart since it’s the… you already know, I don’t have to say it ;)

Sometimes I think about those quirks of history that seem to exemplify the 1%-ers of the past, and how they are are in fact vestiges of a time when people were, due to necessity, ok with being more co-dependent on each other in general, often regardless of class.

Extra room in your house? That's for being able to put up guests for days on end, as travel was difficult and hospitality was important.

Clothing laces and buttons in the back, hairstyles are difficult? You might not have servants but you would have siblings and spouses to help you get ready.

Endless frivolous parties and calling cards? An important way to stay connected with friends in a world without phone and video.

Elaborately decorated clothing? Not only did you need beauty in your life, but needlework goes faster with a friend, and quilting can be a group bonding activity.

Things are easier now, yes, but I think that's also a reason why we're all lonely and touch-starved.

TBH I think one of the best ways to keep teens from getting harmed by the internet is to make sure that they always have enough opportunities to see their friends irl. Kids need to be able to socialize irl and if they don't have that ability they will not only default to the internet, but tolerate and even hide any harmful interactions that are taking place on the internet for fear of losing their access to the internet, because it's their only way of having a social relationship with their peers. Case study: me, age 12
