ā¼ļøED ACCOUNTS DNI PLEASEā¼ļø
Hi! I made this account because I donāt wanna exhaust my friends so Iāll bitch here instead
This is a vent blog feel free to block me if you need I don't want to trigger anyone :]
You can call me cat
I have bpd and avpd
I have an obsession with cats that will probably be the end of me
Meowmeow
Take care of yourself<3
This is why I desperately need to stop staying up all night I can't trust my thoughts at night I know this
Why couldn't I have been good enough, why did I have to do things all wrong???? I tried so hard I tried everything and you still left and now I'll be haunted for the rest of my life wondering what I did wrong
I could never do anything right, I never was right for you, you didn't let me be.
When the loneliness is creeping back in and you never really learned how to make friends so you just have to deal with it. Im so isolated but what do I even do? Im struggling so badly, im greatful for the friends I have, but I just feel like im not interesting or funny enough to dm them without feeling like I'm just wasting their time, and none of my friends really share any of my interests and don't really care to get into them, so I have no one to talk about things that I like to so all I do is listen to everything they like and it gets tiring. Im burnt out and I think im getting a bit snappy at times especially if I'm anxious already I really want to be a good friend to everyone but my mind can never calm down I always have to act a certain way or force myself to joke around when nothings even funny, but if I don't im scared everyone will leave me.
[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over
I was going to delete this account but I literally cannot figure out how
Anyways I have mommy issues
wild how you can say āimmigrants deserve healthcareā and a white lesbian with a soft pastel blog aesthetic will appear in your notes to say āno they donāt Iām scared of themā completely unironically and expect you to agree
Sighhhh
why do they call it a blowjob. i donāt want to think about work when iām sucking a cock.
This one got me good š¤£
Apparently I badly want to go on my āstop making fun of plague doctors, they were ahead of their time and doing the best they could with the primitive equipment they had availableā rant.
They werenāt stupid.
They shoved herbs in their breathing hose because they knew the air was bad and hoped it would help, and *they were right* in theory. The plague itself was not an airborn virus, but they couldnāt know that and it wasnāt the only thing killing people at the time anyway, and they covered *all* their bases. If theyād had the technological knowhow to make air tanks, or even better air filters, they wouldāve. They just made the best air filters they could.
What we think they wore isnāt exactly what they wore, and what they actually wore would later be repurposed into scuba suits (and thus spacesuits too) and *actual hazmat suits*, because the theory was sound, the materials were just lacking, and honestly what they did with the materials they had was hardcore.
they wore full face protection which avoids the most obvious mucosal transmission routes
INCLUDING GLASS IN THE EYEHOLES. They invented safety goggles before most of the world had nailed down corrective eye glasses yet
they wore additional head protection to cover seams in their mask/hoods
they oiled and waxed all their clothes to make it fluid-resistant
they wore separate but tight fitting equally if not more fluid-resistant gloves and/or armcuffs so they could keep hand contamination to a minimum even when dressing/undressing AND they only wore the suit in areas they thought was contaminated and took it off before entering uncontaminated areas
they may have used herbed vinegar to clean, and if the stories are true this was clever because 1) itās available and portable 2) pretty effective as far as medieval disinfectants go versus the damage it does the the user (as opposed to what they had for bleach at the time, and the actual percentage level in alcohols at the time which was mostly insufficient for task as well as being needed for more important things); vinegar is *still* a decent disinfectant even now
It honestly took doctors well into the twentieth century to get that level of obsessive attention to hygiene and cross-contamination back. A whole lot of babies and mothers wouldnātāve died, for instance, if a plague doctor instead of an obstetrician supported the birth because A PLAGUE DOCTOR WOULD KNOW TO WASH THEIR GODDAMNED HANDS.
Actual plague doctorās outfits:
Who was responsible for turning plague doctors into laughingstocks instead of primative but honoured medical and scientific predecessors anyway?
Was it the Victorians? It was probably the Victorians. Those pretentious sanctimonious jerks ruined everything.
#i did not realize people made fun of plague doctorsĀ #ive mostly seen people freaked out by the aestheticĀ #they always seemed to me like a bittersweet example of humanity scared shitlessĀ #and still trying really really hardĀ #iād get very poetic about itĀ #sometimes its a stare out the window and empathize with plague doctors kind of day and thatās just how it isĀ #thatās just how growing up isĀ #i feel like thanks victorians is a strong contender for thanks obamaās throneĀ (tags via @cicadianrhythm)
but you almost forgot one of the coolest things!!Ā
supposedly some plague doctors would carry hollow canes in order to check the pulse without needing to use their hands or take off their gloves? it was sort of like a very early example of a stethescope
plague boys were smart af
Reblogging because I am an amateur historian, and yes this time it was the Victorians
I hope in the future people are kinder to our timeās doctors then we were to the pastās.
Next to my (future) wife. Remind me on February 14th 2026 to remove the future part.
