Things that made me unable to use tampons before I started HRT:
dysphoria
vaginismus
The emotional knowledge of this post traveling backwards through time to clamp my vagina shut, a la Childhood’s End.
Centipedes, in my vagina? No, something far worse: carpet beetle hairs.

The worst part of that is that it’s super easy to deal with mosquitos with a dunk that doesn’t hurt anything but mosquito larvae.

Am I meant to stare up at the sky from 8:15 to 8:30 every other night with my mouth agap while I try to wrap my mind around the spacetime bubble we all exist on the surface of?
At scale that sounds better for society than going to church. We need a little more memento mori (memento minima?) in modern life.

Honestly you should assume all supplements are toxic and full of heavy metals, because that shit is virtually unregulated.

I don’t know how to explain it, but all fake linocut/woodblock print images are kind of samey in a way that sticks out when you see it, compared to linocut/woodblock prints by artists.
It’s almost always this same background color/texture in generated images too, whereas with real prints you might have paper that looks very different even if it’s that exact color. And plenty of artists go wild with the paper and ink colors.
It’s not just one thing, it’s a lot of little things that give it a bad vibe.

Big if true. Maybe as much as 330,000 the mass of the earth.

With some flour you can bring fediverse posters to your area!

You can insert ‘old.’ before any Reddit link (old.reddit.com) to bypass that crap

I thought for sure this had to have the saturation cranked up (very common when people post colorful birds), but the pic is straight from the Macauly Library and, if anything, underplays the fine details of the colors due to the image degradation:

Don’t like thinking about how much of that probably made it to my brain, organs, and muscles :)
- Comment on Millionaire homeowners sued the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, arguing a 10 square mile town whose new zoning plan to increase density had no plan to expand the roads 2 weeks ago:
You are writing fanfiction. First you made up that these home owners live rurally, then you made up that Charlottesville is somehow expanding beyond the borders of the town?? Being able to read doesn’t help you if you have no reading comprehension.
- Comment on Millionaire homeowners sued the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, arguing a 10 square mile town whose new zoning plan to increase density had no plan to expand the roads 2 weeks ago:
Why would rural homeowners be filing a suit about a 10 square mile town they don’t live in?
The population density for Charlottesville is over 4500/sq mile. Nobody there is living rurally.
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 2 weeks ago:
Definitely possible, it’s just a little too consistent for me to think it’s all people meeting their hero and nobody just trying to do their job and getting treated poorly.
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 2 weeks ago:
He has a reputation of just being an unpleasant dick and difficult to work with. Nothing super problematic to my knowledge, just a bad personality.

The addition of ‘fuckers’ in there makes me suspect Jeff Vandermeer, but I wouldn’t be able to say what book other than maybe part of the Southern Reach series.
- Comment on Nextdoor Nightmare 3 weeks ago:
It’s still around and it’s so much worse now. Just NIMBY central. I peek in from time to time to try to scope out estate sales, but I always have to leave pretty soon because the shit people say there is wild.

Every time I reread this sentence I crack up again. What gets you a permanent ban??
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 4 weeks ago:
That’s what I’ve got in my cooking notes dump for the internal ‘cooked’ temperature for cookies, but that might be a texture rather than a safety thing.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 4 weeks ago:
In that case I think the real issue would be how long it’s safe to store at room temperature, since edible cookie doughs do still require refrigeration as far as I know. If you popped an edible cookie dough in for 30 minutes you’d probably be fine, the more hours you tack on the sketchier it gets.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 4 weeks ago:
Reminder that cookie dough kept above 40 F/4.4 C but below 190 F/88 C is in the bacterial danger zone that allows bad bacteria to multiply and give you food poisoning.
There’s also some amount of risk from raw dough, but I’m not gonna pretend I don’t ignore that when it comes to cookie dough.
- Comment on A story in one photo 4 weeks ago:
The white area at the very bottom of the photo is the windowsill I think, it’s taken from inside looking out at the bird strike.
- Comment on A story in one photo 4 weeks ago:
Jesus, it must have been a severe hit if the bird shit itself. This being on the side of a building and not a window is really curious, though! Usually you only see this on reflective surfaces that the bird thinks is open sky. I wonder if a predator was chasing it, for it to collide so strongly with the wall.
- Comment on A metaphor for capitalism? 4 weeks ago:
The spider corpse is an important piece of the art! It adds a memento mori aspect to what is otherwise just a cool place a web was spun.
