u people on this website are so fucking stupid god bless

[spacelazarwolf]

it’s bc y’all (not op) don’t know what the word zionism means. you think zionism is anything from “a jew who disagrees with me” to “a person who says that the jewish people originated in israel and it would be cool if we could live there again peacefully” to just “an israeli (just the jewish ones tho)” bc you have drowned yourself in tankie propaganda. so you go around calling any jew you run into that disagrees with you abt anything regarding israel and palestine a “filthy zionist” and then wonder why people keep calling you antisemitic. i have very strong feelings about the current israeli government, the current messages of political zionism, the way a lot of jewish institutions use the very real fear of persecution and eradication a lot of us feel especially now to push the idea that the only safe place is israel. i have a lot of opinions about how to combat that.

but i can never fucking talk abt those nuances bc y’all CANNOT STOP BEING IGNORANT ANTISEMITES AND USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS FOR TWO SECONDS. you are lazy, immature, and don’t belong in this discussion!!!!!!! because your ignorance is actively harming the fight for palestinian liberation!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need peace and safety, Israeli and Palestinians together in the region. What we don’t need is westerners cheering on their “side” while they sit in safety and our blood soaks the ground.

i went to an event at my synagogue on tuesday where we were able to sit together as a congregation, whoever was able to make it, and just decompress and talk about our emotions in a safe space. one of my rabbis talked about how she went to a grief support group for parents that had lost their children to terror and violence, primarily made up of israelis and palestinians. sitting together and talking about their pain and loss. after the massacre happened this saturday, palestinian members reached out to check on other members and offered up prayers for them. i told a friend that and they laughed and rolled their eyes, then told me "what so you want people to all just sit in a big circle and sing kumbaya????" this really is all one big fucking joke to them. like they really don't see any of us as people, just pawns in their game of "activist" dnd.

Oh my god, food extract is not the same as an essential oil.

Food extract is the flavoring of something cooked down into a carrier oil or alcohol that is safe for human ingestion.

Essential oil is the pure extract of the plant refined down and distilled for concentrated medicinal purposes to a significantly higher strength than simply adding ground up mint leaves to your water. The two are not comparable in any way.

Cinnamon extract and cinnamon essential oil are not the same thing.

One is about 100 times the strength of the other and can also cause acute organ failure. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the food extract.

Sweet gods I’m not trying to be mean, I want you to be aware and safe and stop putting yourselves and others at risk. Please.

[thebibliosphere]

Like maybe my tone is hard to read, maybe it just comes off as really angry but it’s not, it’s fear and worry. I read posts and clutch my head in alarm going “no! No! That’s how people die!” And then I get exasperated because a bunch of people not formally qualified chime in with “um actually this is a lie” and it’s not, it’s really, really not.

I’m not some big pharma advocate. I’m a crunchy witch hippy just like you with salt rock lamps and rose quartz all over my house. I just happen to have spent the last 15 years of my life studying the actual science of holistic medicines and I’m trying to help you not get hurt (or worse) becuase you trusted a sales person with no idea what the ever loving hell they were talking about beyond a sales pitch designed to maximize profit. Gah.

[thewoonderkabinett]

I see this so often in the Mommy world. There was a lady not long ago in one of the mom groups who was really worried about her toddler. He’d had a persistent cough for weeks and the doctor couldn’t figure out why. Someone asked, well what have to tried to treat it with, so far? She said she was using a humidifier, honey, and eucalyptus EO in the shower every night.

Yeah.

In case you were wondering, eucalyptus can cause respiratory distress in young children.

[thebibliosphere]

Sadly I don’t wonder. I have a friend whose daughter died from a home made menthol oil chest rub. She wasn’t even ten yet, but her mom– a qualified aromatherapist– thought she’d be old enough to handle it. She went into respitory distress and died seizing in her mother’s arms on route to the hospital. It was one of the most harrowing stories I had to listen to during my holistic training. She stood up there, on this podium next to a bunch of ponzy scheme essential oil sellers who looked like they wanted the floor to swallow them, and said “I killed my child with good intentions”.

I’ll never forget the look on her face.

So to reiterate, children under the age of ten should not be directly exposed to things like eucalyptus oil, peppermint or wintergreen. If you are using such things in your house and your child starts to complain of headaches, lethargy and general “feel worse”, don’t just assume it’s the cold/flu. Those are all signs of menthol sensitivity and they only get worse with increased exposure. Ventilate the room, take them outside if you can until the air clears. Do not apply again.

Rapid onset wheezing may be a sign of allergic reaction or possible asthma attack triggered by the menthol too. If they tell you their chest is warm or fuzzy when you use it, that’s another sign it’s not going down well with them. Again, ventilate the area or remove anything you applied to them. Administer inhalers if necessary. Watch for any more labored breathing or if they suddenly go limp or you can’t wake them up. If they do call 911.

This can also apply to people with allergies and asthma who are otherwise healthy.

One of the safest, natural ways to alleviate congestion is with just pure good old fashioned warm steam. Keep the air moist, drink plenty of warm fluids. Menthol can help relieve the feeling of congestion, but there’s limited evidence to suggest it actually clears the airways. And for the love of god don’t inhale mustard or horseradish (I’ve seen that suggestion on posts too, though how you’d get those oils I don’t know). That’s literally what tear gas is made of.

[thebibliosphere]

I apologize sincerely for bringing this long post back into your lives, fam, but I’m getting inundated with questions about what can the possible harm be if you dab a little neat peppermint oil on your child’s skin to help them with a little head cold, and this is the most succinct way I can put it.

The harm you may do, is in fact death. I am not telling you these things to be a kill joy, I’m telling you so you won’t accidentally kill yours.

I have almost no followers and so am probably screaming into the void here, but! An important addition to this:

Respiratory distress is the number one cause of cardiac arrest in children.

This isn’t the case with adults (I believe the main cause is arrhythmia? but don’t quote me) but kids? Absolutely. It’s not a terribly intuitive thing - I think we usually expect people to stop breathing because their heart has stopped, but in children it’s very much the other way around.

So this kind of thing is VITALLY IMPORTANT to remember when you’re using things like essential oils and cleaning products that a child could be sensitive to! Their little bodies are fragile, and they really, REALLY need to breathe. Keep an eye out for respiratory issues in children, especially if there’s something new that has been introduced into their environment.

This is also relevant to pet owners who may have some idea that essential oils have any role in “holistic pet health.” Just. DO. NOT. Cats, especially, have delicate little livers and lick their coats extensively, so tea tree oil and other terpenes can kill them if applied to their fur.

I am a massage therapist and I use essential oils in drop amounts per jar of lubricant or pot of hot water (for compresses) when I use them at all, and I keep them carefully isolated on a shelf and handle them as if they were caustic in undiluted form. Not all of them, obviously, are highly toxic or will burn your skin, but some will (cinnamon, oh boy), but it’s a good habit to form. Also, they are sold and stored in those cute little glass jars for a reason. Some can melt plastic. Don’t ask how I found out.

cooking show but the judge is just a random kid with autism related food issues. no one can figure out what criteria they use to judge "good food" from "bad food" least of all the judge themself.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

starts off as a cooking show and devolves into a heartfelt comedy of errors as all these professional top chefs use their decades of training & skill to try to help this one kid eat a balanced diet

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

by the end of the season the chefs have combined their knowledge to more-or-less figure out how to consistently make food that the judge is willing to eat. at which point we start over with a whole new season and a new judge with all new food issues!

mcu: this world but freelance cops can punch through walls. low chance of fucking an alien.

star wars: a thousand different planets to put up with fascists on. democrats somehow even more spineless and ineffective. however, very high chance of fucking an alien.

star trek: a thousand different planets to be a communist on. may get your shit kicked in by swarthy footballers or chicago gangsters. fucking an alien is inevitable

harry potter: this is just england with an even higher chance of getting hate crimed

middle earth: 50/50 chance on if you'll get a lovely cottagecore lifestyle or some orc lops your head off. elves very unlikely to put out.

battle tech: chances of fucking an alien unknown. chances of fucking a robot not good.

discworld: not worse than our world but definitely smellier. you will be turned down, crushingly, by a beautiful werewolf. not sure i could survive this.

dune: coachella with no bands and no weed and no way home. they don't let you ride the sand worms.

hitch hiker: you only get to fuck an alien if it is both humorous and sorta damp. not great odds.

narnia: god is real and you get to be a badger. as a jew, im honestly tempted.

fuck it i guess ill stay home: bad dragon dildos are really expensive and the economy sucks shit. reconsider.

As someone who has actually studied the English language there's a common phrase about English that kinda annoys me because while it makes for a funny haha line it's such a gross oversimplification that it actually ceases to be funny. It's the one that goes "The English language is just three languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat" or something to that effect.

I'm not going to go into detail as to why that sentence is inaccurate, just take my word for it as a person with a master's in English. I suggest we withdraw this expression from usage and replace it with the much more accurate "The English language is a dirty little slut that loves it when other languages cum big loads in it"
