Jellicle Ball already brought up but literally!:
So this post is blowing up again. Thank you and happy pride everyone!!!
I love tumblr because nobody’s famous. It’s not like hunger games where people compete to win, it’s more like cats the musical where one user is chosen to be featured in a funny tumblr posts dub youtube video and everyone who didn’t get chosen celebrates it
and most of the time….they leave it at that! 🧡🤍🩶🖤
i am LOVINGGGG the cats revival sm !!
Victoria and Jennyanydots TYING (not for first but still) on the "which jellicle is the hottest" poll is frying me I mean... that's so valid I just didn't expect it It especially makes me happy because as a child I remember watching cats and feeling insecure about my body and not being graceful and perfect like Victoria But it turns out just as many people are interested in the chaotic but bossy tap-dancing MILF who makes beetles dance in her owner's basement
Went to a restaurant with a very new and flustered waitress and my grandparents were annoyed (lame) Anyways I spilled water on myself and just kind of laughed it off, my grandparents didn't care But the waitress noticed from across the room and brought me napkins which was just so... nice and it made me so happy idk I Just love humans and we should all be nice to each other and yes
A page of Etcetera drawings- I wanted to practice drawing her manic smile :3
The only girl ever 🩷❤️🩹
Etcetera with braces... you're a genius
Made this guy from my favorite Gerard Donelan comic
jellicle songs for jellicle cats (4/6)
I love cats you can watch 3 seconds and find so much to love Tantomile singing with coricopat being an emotional support dance twin in the background Jennyanydots dancing and Victoria mimicking her in the back and alonzo's just there like :o ELECTRA'S EYEBROWS I love them and just all the facepaint in general
I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

Just redoing this one...
SUCH A HARD CHOICE but I mean... Tantomile.....
Given the way Exotica lurks in the background and constantly disappears in Cats 1998, I'm starting a theory that she's actually the spirit of the Everlasting Cat observing the Jellicles and their choices with Grizabella
idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol
One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine
scientist when you don't take the medicine they developed to help your pain
As long as you are taking a SAFE dose of it, then it's *good* for you. Pain is bad for the body. The inflammation from prolonged pain can worsen chronic issues and make it harder to heal.
Ibuprofen is best for pain that has inflammation, while acetaminophen doesn't help with inflammation but is more broadly effective on other types of pain. As long as you are taking the recommended dose, you can even take them TOGETHER, since they have different mechanisms of action.
You do need to be aware of how much and how often you are taking any pain medication. Overdoses can be very painful (even lethal.) And if you are in chronic pain often enough that you need more than the safe dose, then you need to look into other medications to manage that pain.
(Also, if you are specifically taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol for your go-to pain management, getting some NAC and taking that with it reduces the risk of overdose AND may strengthen the effect.)
One other thing: NSAIDS (ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen being the three big ones) can cause digestive issues with chronic use, including stomach ulcers. That doesn't mean "don't take them," it means "if you're at the point where you're on them all the time, every day, constantly, you should talk to a doctor about either reducing that risk or switching to another medication that doesn't have those side effects."
I don’t have the source for this table anymore but I felt it should be added to this post.
Also please please please consult your doctor if you are on any other type of medication that put large strains on your liver or kidneys before taking any kind of NSAIDs as they can recommend alternatives.
Yes Chronic Kidney Disease and liver disease prevent the use of NSAIDS entirely. Please remember this. Tylenol is the least harmful to these organs. If migraines are your problem, ask neurologist about the triptan drug family. Downside with these is nausea.
I feel that it is worth bringing up again:
As a scientist, this is the way I feel when people in pain don't take the medication that was developed to help with pain:
Especially because as a scientist, I know that pain sensitization is a thing, and that experiencing pain for long periods of time can even train your whole nervous system to be even more reactive to potential pain. So if at all possible, I want my friends who are experiencing pain to try to control that pain as much as possible.
So if you are in pain, and you do not have any massive kidney and liver strain that prohibits you from taking a NSAID or paracetamol/Tylenol?
Please take the pain medicine. Please. Pleeeaaaaaase. I'm a scientist.
yeah i'm a scientist who specializes in designing new pain meds. suffering is not noble, this is exactly how i look when y'all don't manage your pain:
take the meds! i became a scientist in this field explicitly to help people! i became a scientist because i too experience chronic pain and i failed out of literally all pain meds on the market. those of us in this field, we make these things to be used. be safe, follow doses, and if you have questions, ask your doc and pharmacist!
I'm a pharmacist, and this is how *I* feel when people don't take painkillers, or medicine in general:
Using medicine responsibly, not exceeding recommended dosages, and talking to your doctor if the recommended dosage isn't enough to manage your symptoms: GOOD!
Not using medicine when you need it: BAD! Makes Doomie cry!
When I was first really sick, a friend of mine shamed me into taking my pain meds because he said that I would never tell my daughter to not put on mittens and just tough it out when it's cold, so what kind of example am I setting by just suffering through pain?
