Just a little PSA for all our mental health (and chronic pain*) spoonies out there! A lot of doctors neglect to mention this little side effect, which means a lot of us are suffering extra from the heat without knowing why.

*Many psych meds are used to treat chronic pain as well, if you didn’t know!

Weiss: Maybe listen to the doctors and go steady on antipsychotics.

Jaune: Docility is not the same as sanity.

One of my favorite historical tidbits is that Arab traders, for centuries, fooled Europeans into thinking cinnamon came from a rare, vicious and fearsome cinnamon bird.

The belief was so prevalent, in fact, that the mythical cinnamon bird shows up in the writings of Herodotus and Aristotle, all the way into medieval European manuscripts where it’s illustrated in all its fierce, cinnamony glory:

Pliny the Elder expressed skepticism of the bird in his writings, rightly assuming that it was a tale invented to keep control on the trade and prices by reducing competition, but the belief was already so widespread that it persisted in many areas into the early 1300’s.

Blake: No amount of propaganda should convince you some children shouldn't be able to grow up.

Jaune: In a sense this is true but it doesn't apply to me, right? Because I should have been aborted. Or, failing that, taken out behind the barn and shot.

When you get in a disagreement and the rejection sensitivity tells you you’re going to suffer forever and then a third party says “you handled that really well, you did nothing wrong.”

Since being diagnosed with cancer my husband has become very willing to step into arguments at his workplace and elsewhere because “nobody wants to be seen yelling at the guy with brain cancer” and so far his success rate is shockingly high.

and a shoutout to the two Māori men who travelled to Vienna in 1859, got themselves apprenticed as printers (and incidentally became accomplished ballroom dancers), and finally had an audience with Franz Josef where they charmed him so much that he sent a printing press to New Zealand….which was promptly used from 1861 to print the newspaper of the Kingitanga anti-colonial movement.

Ren: WE NEED... TO GET... THE RELIC... AND THEN... WE'LL GET EVERYONE OUT OF ATLAS... THEN WE'LL BURN ATLAS TO THE GROUND... AND THEN I CAN FINALLY SLEEP...

Oscar: You know, I think the headmaster keeps the key to where the relics are being held in a box, and if we just take the box, we can get the keys and whatever else he's hiding in there~!

Ren: We can also take his still beating heart from his chest!

Nora: Uh, we don't really have a spoon for that. How will we do that?

Ren: We'll find a way, Nora... WE'LL FIND A WAY...

Jaune: Uh, Ren, don't you have a knife?

Ren: ...

Nora: ...That'll do it.

Ruby: Look, Yang! Look at the crazy man, Yang~!

Ren: CRAZY?! (Foaming) I'LL SHOW YOU CRAZY! (Going feral, Held back)

Yang: (Covers Ruby's eyes, Drags away) PERVERT!

Got called a lying sinful man on the phone today by a customer which is probably a top ten insult for me unique and interesting with a dash of gender euphoria

Doodled my boss with devil horns and his tongue sticking out covered in stink lines on a sticky note and when I put the pen down the cubicle next to me burst into flames
