I thought it was a good idea at the time

doxxing myself. I’m on a boat in the middle of the big blue sea near some islands and dolphins and other random nonsense

there are apparently a lot of mushrooms that are poisonous to some people and edible for others. unlike food allergies, it’s not an allergic immune reaction, it’s mushroom poisoning but only for some people

the thing they dont tell you about learning to "trust the process" is that you forget and relearn it every single time you make a new piece of art. unfortunately there is no cure either

it seems like in bdsm the "rewards" and the "punishments" look very similar. this concerns me a great deal, because it points to a system of misaligned incentives. if we're not careful, it's even possible that a rational actor could deliberately violate regulations, because the penalties for rule violations are in fact incentivized. one shudders to think of the consequences of such an arrangement

people with chronic pain and chronic fatigue will be like why does it hurt and why am I so tired

also sorry i just don't find the trope of "woman who hates men learns to love men again because she met one really sweet dude" very compelling. at best i think it's boring and eye-rolling wish fulfillment for people who never got over their lesbian crush and at worst i think it's actively and purposefully misogynistic

so I know the "correct" spelling of milktoast is milquetoast so I decided to look up the etymology and apparently it's from the name of a fictional character who's named after milk toast but spelled with a que to make it look french. so I guess go ahead and spell it milktoast

congratulations! you've successfully learned that you should fact check etymology claims you see online! keep doing this!
