i strongly believe that it's better to take aspirin of a known dosage than to take some willow bark with an unknown amount of active compound that could also just be sawdust from an unrelated tree. like that's just factually correct. medical science is real and the supplement industry is an unregulated nightmare of mostly scams. but. the thing is. if, in order to get aspirin, i had to schedule an appointment where i tell my doctor that my friend said i might have a headache (because i can't just say i have a headache without being treated like a googlemad hypochondriac). and then the doctor nodded and ordered a bunch of expensive tests that have very little to do with my head and a lot to do with the size of my ass. and the tests all came back fine so he shrugged and asked if my head hurt and when i said yes he prescribed me some aspirin while emphasizing he didn't know if it would help but i could give it a shot if i really wanted. and if i had to do that every time i wanted some aspirin. i would probably start eyeballing the willow bark. to be perfectly honest with you.

I can't get over how SecUnit thinks of Ratthi. SecUnit casually calls Ratthi its friend in narration after categorically refusing to refer to Mensah, ART, or Miki as friends. SecUnit thinks Amena should go to Ratthi for dating advice because Ratthi apparently has the most game out of anyone SecUnit has ever met. SecUnit calls him to help it solve murder cases. To SecUnit, Ratthi is a badass bro who always has its back when canonically, Ratthi is an academic from Planet Granola whose best friends are middle aged lesbians biologists. He's a mega nerd. He probably runs a Discord for historical RPF about the Preservation founders. And he's the coolest person SecUnit knows. Obsessed.

I finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time in my life. With all of *vague gesture at everything* this going on.

I found it. I found the best TikTok. The rest of the internet can go home now. Please, for the love of whichever forces you believe in, turn on your sound.

i wasn't happy with the colors i pulled out of my stash the first time and 75% of my brain is still tied up in being Extremely Normal About These Two, so i bought fancy embroidery floss and cross stitched about murderhelion again.

Absolutely obsessed with Clea Dessendre, who is apparently busy with a completely different anime plot and needs everyone else to STOP LARPING and GET IT TOGETHER there's A WAR ON OKAY

Every paragraph of this story just gets wilder and wilder. I need about five different memes based on it, stat.

PUTTING MY BOYS ON BLAST LIKE THIS

my favourite thing is characters who just met the person theyre literally going to be wildly in love with for the rest of their lives and theyre like “:/ they’re not all that” this is so embarrassing for u

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”
