I wondered about this. I'm allergic to penicillin, anyway.

[transfemme-shelterdog]

The problem isn't the penicillin

The problem is that the amount of penicillin in a slice of bread is so miniscule that you'd need to eat a vast amount to receive a medical dose.

Bread mold also has a shit load of toxins that vastly outnumber the amount of penicillin. These mycotoxins over time cause liver, kidney, immune system, brain and heart damage, hemmhoraging, ovulation disruption and damage to semen production.

That's what's gonna kill you first.

I have a question:

If you get pre-sliced bread, and one slice has visible mold, are the other slices ok. Some people I know find it gross , but I've been doing it since I was young because my mum said it's ok

[transfemme-shelterdog]

Mold has invisible root networks throughout the porous material of the bread. Also, the spores get airborne so it's likely that it has spread through the rest of the bread.

It's literally impossible with the naked eye to tell how far it has spread, so best case scenario is to chuck the whole loaf.

every once and a while i think abt my first time on morphine. the pain was still there, same as before, but all of a sudden i couldnt bother to be alarmed by it? i wasn’t in agony anymore, despite the presence of the same sensations. it just stopped mattering to me.

that feeling of being in pain but not processing it as pain reminds me how subjective the brain is. pain is only painful if your body remembers its supposed to be.

in my little pony universe youd go to a job interview and theyd be like so how does your cutiemark reflect your dedication to this position. And every time youd have to spew some bullshit about how your cutiemark of two tennis rackets actually means youre a team player and good at multitasking and view the market like a playing field. or whatever. and you wouldnt even get the job

Also, please do not listen to how people talk about cover letters on this site. Cover letters are important, and in many industries you can be damn sure they'll be read. And no, they're not 'fanfic about working in your office', or just re-stating the resume contents in a fancier guise. If you treat them like that, then of course they're not doing much for you. That makes you sound like a syncophantic windbag, and it's not doing anything else to help.

I was trained in the dark arts of the cover letter by my mother, who is a hiring manager. And her training has paid off: I've been consistently told my cover letters are excellent. Let me pass on the wisdom.

The job of a cover letter is to give a prospective employer strictly more information than is on the resume. This is where you take the resume contents and put them into context. You look at the job requirements (you are looking at the job requirements before applying, right?) and look at your resume and ask the question (in your head) "why would a person think this candidate would be good for this job?" and your cover letter is the answer to that question. If you don't answer that question, the hiring manager is going to have to do it themselves, and you have way more information to work with than they do.

This is especially important if you're moving from one industry to another, because then the relevant connections aren't obvious. It's also very important if you're overqualified, because then you can use the letter to say "I know it looks like this job would be too entry-level for me, but I'm interested to pursue it for reasons x, y, and z". You can also use this space to explain away something that might otherwise be disqualifying, like job-hopping or a long break in employment. The tone to strike here is always matter-of-fact and constrained to topic - don't go into detail about health stuff or personal tragedy, just tell them what they need to hear: that this period of your resume was affected by [bad thing] but that it's now in the past and you're looking forward to the next chapter. Remember, one of the things they're trying to learn is whether you'd be content in this role, or whether you'd be miserable and leave after 2 months, which would force them to do all the work of hiring again. You're trying to establish that you will fit right in and not cause problems. Knowing what drew you to this job in particular (and don't just say 'money', that's true for everyone) helps with that.

And the other mistake? Everyone writes cover letters that are too long. One page is fine. Two is the absolute maximum, and that's if you have a lot of specific things to say. It's a waste of your time and theirs to pad it out with fluff. Of my two most recent successful cover letters (i.e. jobs for which I was interviewed) one was 390 words and the other was 550. That's the length of this post. How long did it take me to write this post? About 15 minutes to write, 5 to proof and edit. That's how long you should be spending on a cover letter, maximum.

digital selfharm is real. do NOT check up on that ex-partner/ex-friend. do NOT reread those old messages/conversations that you know will hurt your feelings all over again or that will otherwise make you feel like shit. do NOT block evade to see if you’re being talked about. inhale. exhale. let it pass and you’ll be better for it.

i can't express how absolutely important it is that when you make an edgy, brooding, badass character who's tough as nails and good at fighting and whatever, you HAVE to give them at least one reason to become completely helpless and pathetic. you have a panic attack quota to fulfill.

I love when a wrestler is bleeding and commentary starts explaining the concept of blood and why it’s important
