U.S. people, if you bought cinnamon from Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or other discount stores, throw it out. It's got lead

Ground cinnamon sold at discount stores is tainted with lead, FDA warns

Ground cinnamon sold in U.S. discount stores is contaminated with high levels of lead and should be discarded. The U.S.

[tedkaczynskiofficial]

The article mentions this, but they started testing cinnamon because of an applesauce pouch recall. Make sure you aren't eating recalled applesauce either! From the article:

The ground cinnamon products in Wednesday’s notice had lead levels of 2.03 to 3.4 parts per million, far lower than the puree pouches, which contained 2,270 parts per million to 5,110 parts per million of lead.

The FDA article about the cinnamon has more details about the applesauce as well. Nobody has reported any adverse effects from the cinnamon so far, but apple sauce allegedly caused cases of acute lead poisoning.

I understand that a lot of people are really into gardening but i think you should refrain from pointing at peoples houses and announcing the sexes of the bushes outside because you might accidentally get the correct ratio of men to women in that household and scare the crap out of the residents inside. Especially if you’re going to end your statement with “that’s why they’re not going to survive”

[coochiekrab]

Last night i was sitting at my computer with my window open and i heard a guy on the sidewalk walk up to my yard, vaguely point at my house (it was dark) and say “oh yea there’s 3 females and one male, thats why they’re not going to survive” and then walked away and it took me walking outside with a flashlight to understand he was referring to the fact that 3/4 of my rosemary bushes have flowers and that he was not stalking my family of 3 women and 1 man and threatening us

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

doctors have fucked up incredibly badly with HRT timelines and advice to trans people. actual endogenous human puberty takes almost 20 years

[itskobold]

reblogging this again actually to share some of my specific experiences on the transfem side:

doctors say body fat and boobs and stuff happen mostly within the first 3 years. but i got major spurts of breast development at 7 years and 11-12 years. my hips have become significantly wider in the past couple of years - at like 13-14 years HRT.

you will keep changing forever.

This 1960s children’s toy named Gaylord the dog is literally the most depressing, miserable looking creature I have ever seen just fucking look at it

[wiiweb]

I want my own Gaylord. If I don’t get my very own Gaylord I’m gonna explode

If you're at my funeral and you think it's a little boring, just spice it up. Drink a little too much. Flirt with a few people here and there. Start a fight. It's what I would've wanted

My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.

I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”

Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️

SMELLS LIKE

DO NOT EAT IT

Welcome to tumblr, we have our own gods.

There’s Apollo, god of prophecy and children’s hospitals.

There’s Sasha the Christmas tiger.

There’s the Easter wolf standing in for the Easter bunny.

And there’s Miette, god of punishment.

Paraglider and black vulture chilling

(via)

[theriu]

I NEVER get tired of this video. It would be fantastic if the bird was just flying near him, but the fact it feels safe and comfortable enough to land ON his paraglider, isn't startled when he pets it, and is NIBBLING HIS SHOES... blessed moment, absolutely fabulous, 10/10 gold stars.

[prismatic-bell]

Okay but the bird isn't just nibbling

Note that it doesn't start nibbling until he starts smoothing its feathers.

They're grooming each other.

[untitledgoosegay]

This is called parahawking! That vulture is tame -- it’s wearing jesses (a leather tie around the leg that a falconer will use to hold a bird when it’s on the glove). In fact that vulture is employed. Parahawking birds seek out thermals the same way they would naturally, allowing paragliders to follow them in the process.

Vultures are often used for parahawking both because of their attraction to thermals, and because vultures, as scavengers, are comparatively gentler and more sociable than birds of prey!

[jedipirateking]

That is fucking awesome!

we as a society need to do something about the fact that frozen pizza doesn't taste good

Healing is a roller coaster. Some days, you feel okay. Maybe even good. Like all is well. And other days, it feels like everything has come crashing down and how could you have ever thought it was good?

That’s normal. You aren’t going backwards when you have bad days. And having good days doesn’t mean you faked anything.

Take the time you need. Take breaks if you need to. But just please keep going and don’t give up. It’ll be worth it in the end. You deserve to heal and be okay.
