Mediocrity at its Finest

it's wild that popular discourse around migraines is that there are too many people who claim to have migraines but "just have bad headaches". this is the exact opposite of my experience? i'm still trying to convince several of my friends that their "bad tension headaches" that are unilateral, throbbing, cause light sensitivity, nausea, etc, are migraines lmao. migraine is underdiagnosed and undertreated by every metric i can think of.

As a guy who went to see a neurologist only to "rule out migraines" because I thought I had "tension headaches at worst and also it's not that bad really" only to realize by tracking my headache days that I have very bad chronic migraines just with no aura (most people with migraines don't have them), I co-sign this 100%.

so this is basically hwo it is

(might be an) unpopular opinion: the “if you weren’t ugly i’d kiss you” scene in dreamland i & ii is THE most romantic and saddest moment in msr history. i mean just look at THE SADNESS IN HER EYES when scully had to tell mulder and herself the cruel fact that the man she loves will forever be trapped in another person’s body, and realizes they will never be together, that SHE HAS LOST THE CHANCE TO BE WITH MULDER FOR GOOD. the regrets they must’ve been thinking about, the moments when they could’ve been together but kept missing each other. why else would scully, who has kept her distance professionally all these years, say that?? we hear “i’d kiss you if you weren’t so damn ugly”, but she’s actually saying “I LOVE YOU AND FAREWELL MY LOVE”, and mulder is saying the same thing by giving her those sunflower seeds😭😭😭
