People -and therefore characters- can have self-esteem issues while also being convinced they are the GOAT, and I think not aknowledging that often gets in the way of character analysis.
"pretending to be confident, but deep-down actually insecure" is definitely a character type that exists, but "genuinely confident but there are a few things she doesn’t trust herself with," or "genuinely hyperconfident in her abilities but entirely unsure of her worth beyond that," or "genuinely hyperconfident in herself but if you push these 3 mental pressure points in a specific pattern she will be a sobbing mess on the floor" are characters who exists as well. And they're all beautiful.

adulthood is really like "guess what your sewer isn't working" and you're like oh why is that mister plumber and he's like "oh that's because they used to use paper for pipes" and you're like hmm i don't know a lot about it but that doesn't seem right, but it is right, they did use paper for pipes, and you're like how much is it to fix paper pipes mister plumber? and he's like "oh just $10,000 and one day and we'll dig three holes" and you're like okay mister plumber i guess what must be done must be done but then it will be a week later and there will be five holes and they will be telling you "oh actually we need to dig an additional hole in your driveway" and you're like oh but that's where my driveway is and they're like "oh yes we'll need to cut through the driveway" and you're like okay this doesn't seem right mister plumber and they're like actually it's mister gas company and mister gas company is standing there and he's like yep you gotta cut the driveway out because the pipe is six inches from the other pipe and you're like i don't think so i think that's like 8 inches and he's like nope it's six and you're like how many inches is the minimum distance and he's like six and you're like okay and it's been five days it's been five days and you don't have a driveway and you don't have toilets and you're paying $15000 because someone said "yes i think making sewer pipes out of paper sounds good" and then you'll be driving down the road to get yourself depression ice cream because you don't have a driveway and you don't have toilets and the car in front of you will be driven by a man 300 years old in the smallest honda the 80s ever produced going approximately .0001 miles per hour and the F150 pavement princess behind you will not see the small honda and will start honking at you and cursing at you and you will simply roll to a stop. you will roll to a stop in the middle of the street and watch the little honda in front of you roll on to glory at .0001 miles an hour while the truck behind you realizes they have made some sort of defcon 1 level mistake and your fitbit on your arm starts buzzing going "CONGRATS! THIS IS YOUR MOST EXTREME WORK OUT YET! YOU'RE EARNING DOUBLE ZONE MINUTES!"

I think the ideal mutual is someone with some solid common ground but who also has a bonkers niche interest that’s totally foreign to you. It’s like a friendly educational experience
"Where were transmascs during Stonewall?" Across the street throwing lit mattresses at cops and chanting "gay rights, gay rights, gay rights!" from the windows of the Women's House of Detention, asshole.
"The House of D [was] 500 feet from the Stonewall Inn," Ryan says. "On the first night of the riots, people incarcerated in the prison could actually see what was happening out their windows, and they started a riot all their own, setting fire to their belongings and throwing them down to the streets below while chanting 'Gay rights! Gay rights! Gay rights!'
"By the '50s and '60s, Ryan estimates, "around 75% of the people incarcerated in the House of D are queer in some way." In the 1960s, the prison began marking gay prisoners with a "D" for "degenerate," and placing them into solitary confinement because they were considered a "danger to other women." [...]
The first waywardism laws in New York State start in the 1880s and they only apply to girls and women, originally ones who are arrested for prostitution and then expanded greatly in the late 1800s to women who might become prostitutes. And that's where they really get into danger, right? Because suddenly the charge of prostitution has nothing to do with sex work or exchanging sex for money. Instead, a wayward girl is anyone who was thought to be improperly feminine to the point where she has an invitation to prostitution. She's either too sexual or she's too masculine and unable to get any other kind of job. So of course she's going to end up being a prostitute.

This week is apparently rabies week because four baby goats at a petting zoo in North Carolina just tested positive for the virus and now they have to do contact tracing and try to find everyone at the public event who could have interacted with them.
To be clear, this is not a "Oh you might be sick and we don't want you to infect others." situation, this is a "If you develope the first neurological symptoms you are a walking corpse. You need post exposure prophylaxies (which has very good outcomes) before that or you will 100% die."
PSA: no matter where you are in the world, regardless of model or recall status, just stop fucking using metal wire bristle grill brushes.
in late february 2026, 3.2 million metal wire bristle grill brushes were recalled in the united states due to "ingestion hazard and risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery". my (rune) post about that recall went up a few days later after spending hours reading injury reports involving these fucking things. the very unqualified conclusion I (rune!) reached was, hey maybe metal wire bristle grill brushes should just not fucking exist!
since then, 14 million more metal wire bristle grill brushes have been recalled in the US. the most recent metal wire bristle grill brush recall as of this post was yesterday, august 27, 2026.
metal wire bristle grill brushes are brushes designed to scrub grills, grill plates, pizza stones, and other hardcore cooking surfaces using a bunch of ultrafine metal wire bristles. these bristles frequently break or dislodge from the brush, and if you happen to accidentally put one in your mouth, the consequences can be horrific.
other, generally safer ways to scrub your shit include: metal coil grill brushes, nylon grill brushes, bristle-free grill brushes, scrub pads, chainmail scrubbers, grill stones, balled up aluminum foil, anything without these nightmare danger bristles. there are plenty of alternatives that risk experiencing significantly less gore.
and as a quick reminder, I (rune!!) do NOT post about all recalls in the united states. there have been thousands of US recalls within the past few months. the US is on track to recall over one billion units of stuff™ by the end of 2026. here are a few links:
🇺🇸US CPSC product recalls | US CPSC product safety warnings (company refuses to issue a recall) | US food and drug administration (FDA) recalls with press releases | US FDA enforcement report recalls (majority of FDA recalls) | USDA FSIS recalls (meat, poultry, and processed egg products) | US NHTSA recalls for vehicles, car seats, tires, and equipment | USCG recalls for boats & friends🇺🇸
🇺🇸report an unsafe product (US) | report a problem with food (US)🇺🇸
whether or not you live in the US, please keep up with whatever official recall feeds are relevant to you. check if there are official safety feeds for your country or region. do not rely on news or social media to tell you about every recall, safety incident, or regulatory action. if this post from an unqualified rune (me) means anything to you, remember that all information in it is public.
you must not succumb to lies told by feelings of powerlessness in the face of preventable suffering when you have an internet connection. your internet connection IS power, and what you do with it is up to you.
here are just a few pictures from the august 27 2026 recall.
the details of this and other metal wire grill brush recalls are fundamentally irrelevant beyond a ~$20 refund or the equivalent. there are injury reports from this year and there are injury reports from when saferproducts.gov went public 15 years ago. if you have a metal wire grill brush, or are unsure if your grill brush has this type of metal wire bristle, STOP USING IT! then inspect whatever you scrubbed with it!
when wire bristles break off of a grill brush, they tend to be very sharp and difficult to see, even by medical imaging. metal bristles are usually similar in color to grill marks, and easily get stuck inside of food.
and the next place the wire bristle goes is the body of whoever eats that food. this includes children, pets, people with limited eyesight, customers at a restaurant, friends over for a BBQ, and people who might not make a habit of carefully disassembling all their food under a fucking microscope before putting any of it in their mouths.
if that person is relatively lucky, the bristle stabs somewhere easily visible and removable. those who rip the bristles out themselves before seeking medical attention can have better outcomes, because...
if that person is unlucky, they wind up in an emergency room that lacks the equipment ± specialty to scan for ± surgically remove a metal bristle from their tongue, throat, esophagus, intestines, or anywhere else in their digestive tract. very few emergency rooms are actually equipped to handle injuries like this, if they believe the injury occurred to begin with. wire bristles can be extremely difficult to see with the naked eye OR on scans. it can take months to get into a specialist surgeon who can remove it, and all the while, that wire bristle might be moving deeper into the body and causing worse damage.
reports on saferproducts.gov detail harrowing multi-month, multi-hospital, multi-surgery nightmares trying to get metal bristles removed. as of their incident report submission dates, multiple patients still had metal wire grill brush bristles lodged in their bodies. you may never get stabbed by a metal wire grill brush bristle even if you use these brushes regularly. but if you do, holy fucking shit.
my (rune!!!) very unqualified opinion is: metal wire grill brushes like this should not exist. there are plenty of safer alternatives.
to check if you have one of the dozens of grill brushes that qualify for up to a ~$20 refund or replacement, those recalls are listed on the CPSC website here. whether your metal wire grill brush is new, old, cheap, expensive, trusted, recalled, unrecalled -- please give me (rune!!!!) the opportunity to convince you to stop using it.
instead of batch numbers, descriptions of gruesome grill brush injuries below the cut, with links to reports formally submitted and accepted to saferproducts.gov. saferproducts is the US consumer product safety commission's (CPSC) official website for reporting unsafe products. the reports summarized in this post only represent a fraction of public reports about metal wire grill brushes.
if you have already been convinced not to use metal wire grill brushes, or just happen to be squeamish, consider not reading the big wall of linked text below the cut.
(just in case the read more fails to show) last chance to turn around, medical horror below.
the list of injuries ends at "thank you to all the heroes" (after this bullet list, if tumblr formatted it correctly)
70 year old ate a piece of grilled chicken that contained a tiny broken metal wire grill brush bristle. it became lodged in his throat and pierced his tongue. he had to remove the wire bristle by pulling it all the way through his tongue and out the other side.
41 year old ate a turkey burger that contained a broken wire bristle from a "safe wire bristle barbecue grill cleaning brush". the 'safe' wire bristle lodged itself into her lower throat and required surgery to remove.
70 year old unknowingly ate food that contained a broken bristle. he felt an intense stabbing pain in his neck and tried to gargle it out and failed. he went to the emergency room and scans found the wire bristle lodged in his esophagus. required surgery to remove it.
67 year old felt a bristle while eating food made on her grill. she required x-rays and surgery to have it removed.
58 year old cleaned her friends' grill, cooked and ate a hamburger, and then felt something very painfully pierce her tongue. it took 2 weeks to see an ENT, who could see nothing. scans were ordered and those scans were read incorrectly. she was told, again, in pain, that nothing was in her tongue. she went to another surgeon who did another scan and said there was clearly a grill bristle lodged in the back of her tongue. she went to another ENT who said the first scans clearly showed the bristle. and from there she had three surgeries...and every surgery failed. in her own words:
"I STILL HAVE THE BRISTLE LODGED IN MY TONGUE...The trauma and swelling from the attempted removal and 3 surgeries performed within 1 week has resulted in me not being able to enunciate clearly; nor swallow without focused attention to doing so, severe pain, a numb tongue with minimal taste, swelling and severe mouth ulcers. 6-19-18 was the 1st of 3 surgeries and as of today, I am slowly recovering but still have te bristle lodged in my throat; and I am still looking for someone who can help me. Products are recalled for being significantly less of a danger to the public than these steel-bristled grill brushes. These brushes NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET! If you have any information on the physician who successfully removed the bristle from the base of the patient's tongue (from the case reported in 2011), please contact me! Thank you so much for your attention to this matter."
66 year old bit into a piece of meat that contained a wire bristle. the bristle embedded itself into his tongue. nobody at the emergency room could find the bristle, so he had to wait for an ENT specialist. still, nobody could find the bristle. stabbing pain continued until he demanded more scans that clearly showed the wire bristle in his tongue. it took over a month before surgery was performed to remove the bristle.
84 year old unknowingly ate a hamburger that contained a wire bristle. days later he started complaining of stomach pain. scans showed no source of his inflammation. exploratory surgery revealed major infection. two feet of his intestines had to be surgically removed, and only after he had a chunk of his intestines removed was the wire bristle actually found.
50 year old ate some chicken off of his grill that contained a broken wire bristle. he went to the emergency room for severe abdominal pain and had to have an emergency bowel resection to remove a chunk of his intestines.
63 year old ate a burger with a wire bristle stuck in it. the bristle painfully embedded into her neck muscle. doctors did not believe there was anything stuck in her throat, because they could see nothing with the naked eye or on the scans. 5 months later, the 6th doctor finally noticed the bristle on the original scan, and the bristle was removed from her neck in surgery.
38 year old made a hamburger on her grill and got a wire bristle lodged in her throat. it was excruciatingly painful. as of when she reported the injury, she had been to an ENT 3 times, had a CT scan, 3 x-rays, a nasal endoscopy & laryngoscopy, exams, and lab work. her first surgery to remove the bristle was unsuccessful. the surgery that successfully removed the bristle took 5 hours with specialized equipment, over 3 months since the bristle got stuck in her body.
46 year old ate grilled chicken prepared by her husband and immediately felt a stabbing pain. the emergency room's x-ray showed nothing. nobody believed there was something stuck in her throat, and she was discharged. she returned 2 days later where a CT scan showed the wire stuck in her throat. she had to be transferred to another hospital and was hospitalized for days while 2 surgeries both failed. about 3 weeks after the original incident, at yet another hospital, surgery to remove the wire bristle was finally successful. by the time it was removed, the wire bristle had perforated her esophagus.
59 year old cleaned his grill and then made food for his family. the next day, he had severe stabbing pain. nothing showed up on an x-ray, and the doctor just prescribed medicine for stomach pain. days later he went to the emergency room, where CAT scans found a metal object in his small intestines. he needed surgery to remove it and was hospitalized for 8 days.
47 year old took a bite of a grilled brat and started screaming in pain and that something was in her throat. she went to the emergency room and said she must have swallowed a wire bristle from the grill brush, and was not believed until CT scans showed the bristle. "And this is where my nightmare began." the hospital she was at did not specialize in throat extraction, so she had to be transferred to another hospital. first surgery failed. transferred to a third hospital. second surgery used robotic arms and could see that the bristle had been stabbing into her tonsil, but after 5 hours, surgeons still could not find the bristle or remove it. surgery #3 took 6 hours, involved cutting through the outside of her neck, and still failed to remove the wire. after $250,000 in medical bills for largely unsuccessful medical care and a huge scar in her neck, her doctors decided to leave the bristle in her neck and wait until it gets infected. as of her incident report, the bristle was still in her body. her incident report is dated 4 months after she ingested the wire bristle.
45 year old ate pork chops and began experiencing abdominal pain days later. urgent care sent him to the emergency room. CT scan revealed a wire bristle lodged in his intestines, and emergency surgery was successful in removing the wire bristle.
52 year old ate a hamburger and was in so much pain she thought it was a kidney infection. emergency room scans revealed a bristle had punctured her ureter tube and tore her bowel. she needed major surgery christmas morning, and was in the hospital until new year's eve. report concludes with, "Why are they allowed to sell products like this"
thank you to all the heroes who reported their injuries and desperately fought to protect others from these things. I (rune!!!!!) really, really hope everyone got their bristles successfully removed and that things turned out the best they could. fuck
if you happen to recognize any of these injury reports or know of anyone who reported a similar injury, please thank them and let them know the recalls have finally begun.
if this is at all relevant to anyone reading this, please consider checking out saferproducts.gov every now and then for reports of unsafe products sold in the US. a shitload of products reported for causing injury or death are still being sold in the US. it can take years and sometimes decades for dangerous and deadly products to get recalled. a ton of dangerous products just unceremoniously get phased out of being sold without a recall ever being issued.
quick example: millie moon 'luxury' diapers have hundreds of injury reports and zero recalls as of today, august 28 2026.
wherever you are in the world, if you experience any kind of safety issue or product defect, please be a hero. help protect others by reporting to whatever official channels are relevant to you, if at all possible. sometimes that means a government agency and then to the manufacturer. maybe a lawyer gets involved. even though it took this long, those horrible injury reports were still able to get metal wire grill brushes recalled. saving a few people is better than saving none.
if you happen to be asking for my (rune!!!!!!) opinion, yeah. absolutely. sue. sue hard. lawsuits also help protect people, and you count as a people, too.
and one more time: your internet connection is power. you can help those around you by sharing publicly available information. there are a few more ideas of how to help people instead of feeling powerless in this post I (rune!!!!!!!) made about the 🇺🇸quadruple sproutbreak alfalfa sprout recall🇺🇸.
thank you for reading. stay safe, clean your grill with something other than a metal wire grill brush, consider warning those around you to do the same, and take care!
