"no foods are bad for you, that's just the conspiracy theorists talking"
Clearly somebody has never experienced completely cutting out foods that cause him or her inflammation for an extended period of time

BREAKING CHARACTER REAL QUICK FOR A SLEEP SUPPLEMENT PSA FOR MY FELLOW VAMPIRES AND NIGHT OWLS:
so I've had chronic insomnia since early childhood and the only thing that helps me fall asleep without the "oh, I've been drugged" feeling is melatonin
and never once have I seen any instructions on the bottle anything beyond "take at or before bedtime"
EXCEPT
my doctor tells me last week that you're not supposed to do this otherwise it really fucks with your circadian rhythms! apparently the optimal time to take melatonin is around sunset (if you want to be asleep by 10pm-12am) because darkness is what naturally stimulates the brain to secrete melatonin
taking it too late (i.e., past 9pm if you intend to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 7am) can majorly screw up your circadian rhythm and keep you feeling groggy and sleepy af well into the day!!! which explains a lot for me personally — not the whole picture but certainly some of it! 
so what I've been doing is I take my regular dose as soon as I notice it's dark outside (around 7:45pm these days) and I start getting sleepy around 10pm-11pm depending on the day I've had. I'm fucking full on passing out by midnight, like phone falling on my face, gotta sleep now. and my sleep isn't perfect but it's a lot better than it was! I get a solid unbroken 6-7 hours stretch which is huge for me and I don't feel like death warmed over needing both vyvanse and caffeine to even think about functioning!
anyway if you already knew this then GOOD FOR YOU BUDDY WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME AT ANY POINT IN THE PAST 15 YEARS and if not, I hope you try it out and it helps even a bit! 🖤

yk i think we talk about jon's "in general, or...?" in the dog scene a lot in terms of jon Being Odd and Saying Odd Things. but i think its actually our very first chronological glimpse at jons evasive humor . w the context of his banter with georgie? i think "have i seen a dog. in general. ?" is classic jon. and its in his first conversation with martin. he only gets Hostile when he realizes martin lost the dog in the archives jons supposed to be in charge of. i dont think we talk about that enough .. like yeah jons an ass in s1 [and admittedly in s2 and in s3 at times too] but the version of him who banters with georgie and tells the admiral he loves him and laughs genuinely was in there Literally from day 1

Lmaaaao, my b12 result just came in, and it's too high.
Happy fucking 5 year anniversary almost to the day of me almost dying from pernicious b12 anemia, and now I have the opposite problem 🤣
