Just a heel of bread

Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.

for those of you wondering if the studies cited above are legit and if so where we can read about them, here’s a link to one of the (more than a dozen!) papers written on the topic of nutrient absorption and how you eat your food:

really enjoying all the videos Muslims have been posting of their cats looking like this

on that note, it really isn't enough to do a cheeky little "(allegedly😁)" or like "if luigi even did it.." in the tags or a wink wink nudge nudge "he totallyy didn't do it" wink wink "for legal reasons he didn't do it.." nudge nudge

To quote my mother, who grew up under a dictator:

A guy in an entomology group I'm in got a confirmed brown recluse bite because he felt something tickle his neck and brushed it off, accidentally mashing the spider against his skin. This is how almost all recluse bites happen since they're very very unaggressive. Anyway the bite was just a small nasty spot that cleared up on its own, but his hands and feet swelled up really bad. Then when the swelling went back down, all his calluses were loose and just fell right off leaving his hands and feet like brand new???????????

Hey so apparently the Trump administration is trying to include Natives in his unconstitutional birthright citizenship end order. They haven't been non citizens since 1924. He trying to fucking reverse the Snyder Act.

another "it's easy for trans men to pass" thing that gets on my nerves is that i don't want to fit in that box. i don't want to have short hair, i don't want to wear hoodies all the time. i don't want to loose weight. i don't want to be forced into the blue is for boys box. i mean this goes for all trans people but i feel like trans men get the "well you should just look the way i say so" the most
