a lot of the walking trails here have these signs that are meant to inform you about local flora and fauna just like. for fun. but i really enjoy the fact that they kind of resemble warning signs.
like ALERT. WATCH OUT....... theres birds and. trees. :) okay continue.

opinion?
Ah shit wait
we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are
"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for
Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THATâS what causes consumption, theyâd be like âah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guestsâ
But if you told a Medieval person this they would probably go "Ah, so when the miasma settles on surfaces it gains evil life. I understand."
Yeah, actually, it would probably be pretty easy to explain germ theory to a Medieval person as tiny evil spirits that live on everything, but they can be purified by soap and water, or by alcohol, because that is why God has granted us those things. And because they can float in the air, if you cough or sneeze after they have infested you, that can cause them to infest others. And when you are sick, the angels God has deputized to defend the bodies of His beloved children are at war with the evil spirits, and, sadly, sometimes they lose, but the best way to help your angels win their battle is to rest, drink plenty (this would probably be small beer in this time period, not water, because the water was also infested), stay clean, and for the sake of God do not allow anyone to let your blood, for the angels need that blood in their war against the evil spirits. Bloodletting is good for some types of illnesses but not the kinds caused by the tiny evil spirits.
boiling as a sterilization measure is also easy to explain. water returns to the air when heated and it rises as steam back up to the floodgates of heaven; we know God created the world in seven days, He's not up there making more water every time it rains. it circulates. the returning of water to heaven also purifies the water of unclean and malign influences. you know wormy water from a muddy puddle will kill your kid. you know you wouldn't wade into a bog and have a slurp. water that remains in the low places of earth absorbs all that is unclean from our waste and it may also sponge up new diseases from hell, we're not totally sure about that one, but it seems likely. God set up the heavenly water cycle so that the earth's waters wouldn't totally fill up with gunk.
what does this have to do with boiling your surgical tools? well look, the boiling water releases bubbles of steam which carries the malign influences up to heaven. you boil a knife, you send all the miasmic particles off with the steam to heaven. if you rinse the knife off in a bucket the water isn't hot enough, the particles go into the water and then right back on to the knife. you gotta boil it to get the particles all the way away. how can a tool or rag or a bed have miasmic particles on it when you can't smell them? humans have a lousy sense of smell. look at your dog on the hunt. are there no rabbits in the woods just because you can't smell them? we know that miasma is carried on the air, and is what makes stench so dangerous, and we know that humans can't smell worth a damn compared to dogs cats horses etc. a dog can smell if a rat died in a corner of the room last week. you can't. do you think licking the spot where the rat died is going to go well for you? luckily, what humans lack in snout we make up for in brains. we have extra brains where our sniffers should have been. God set that up for a reason.
and why does a rinse with wine spirits work? man, look how fast alcohol evaporates. my guess is that because wine contains a lot more vice than water, it evaporates a whole lot faster, in sort of an equal and opposite way that a rock falls faster than a feather. if you want the miasmic particles to get off there FAST, you dunk it in something that's going back to heaven at a gallop.
what's up with honey? it just preserves things against corruption. doesn't clean them off. honey doesn't evaporate at all. probably because bees don't sin. it's not good for ridding a tool of particles-- it's sticky-- but fine for preserving anything you don't want to go to heaven OR hell. this is why you wash the wound with wine spirits or purified water FIRST, to sluice the miasma out, then slap the honey on AFTER. and boil the damn bandage, too. you wouldn't put a rotten door in a sound doorframe and expect it to keep out bandits, would you? cmon.
oh yeah so ive been kinda busy the last few days and forgot to post about the latest shit ive been up to on here

Whenever I read about AI slop I do think about the argument I had here where I was outlining the environmental cost and every other negative associated issue with generative AI
And someone rolled into say theyâre disabled and still deserve free, instant art for their D&D OCs
And was like really pushing the idea that itâs ableist to be against generative AI and to point out that everyone in the world is capable of producing some sort of art but no one in the world is capable of producing every type of art and you arenât owed the art you canât produce
I just feel so aware of how people have weaponized genuine social justice points to get whatever they want like⌠no you arenât owed the labor of exploited Kenyan AI monitors or whatever the fuck else
Not for a JPEG
We live in an era where you literally donât need to generate instantaneous art anyways?
We have stock photos, sims, dollmakers, collections of pre-existing poems to browse. Like if itâs not gonna be your art either way, why not approximate and credit where you can?
If you canât write a poem to express your thoughts, find one that does.
If you canât draw out your OC, find a face claim. I used to have a photo bucket folder of pictures Iâd use as references so people could understand what my RP OC looked like in 2006. I sloppily used MS paint to recolor naruto characters hair to make them my OC and it looked like shit and it worked just fine
You arenât owed specificity beyond that. The world doesnât owe you the exact thing you want but donât need and wonât pay for or work for.
At a certain point itâs not justice for those who canât create art (a person who doesnât exist, again, everyone can create SOME forms of art even if not all forms of art are equally valued by society), itâs just greed
my toxic writing trait is imagining the scene in my head in long, full cinematic detail and then writing: âthey fought. it was intense.â

look I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about electronics, but sometimes a plug is so big it blocks another socket, and I'm always like "who the fuck do you think you are"
crossposting this meme from a discord server lol
maybe i like my tech a little bit inconvenient
maybe i like pulling out my debit card instead of using apple pay. maybe i like untangling my wired headphones. maybe i like typing something into the search bar instead of using siri or whatever. maybe i like curating my own social media feeds over an algorithm. i just donât think everything has to be perfectly streamlined and efficient i like it when things feel tethered to the real world.

itâs okay to have clumsy and awkward sex and itâs actually really common
the ability to laugh while youâre lying tangled and naked together bc you realize just how silly something is is really really intimate and trusting, and itâs the best feeling to be like that with someone and to be relaxed
it happens with long-term partners, it happens on hookups, and itâs rarely as bad as itâs always made out to be, except we usually think itâs bad we're told thatâs not how sex is supposed to go. but thatâs not true.Â
it can still be passionate and intimate while being messy and clumsy, absolutely. you donât need to âperform well.â sex isnât a show: itâs about feeling good. sometimes it takes experimenting to figure out what feels good, and fumbles and awkward moments and laughter is all just part of it. sometimes thatâs a huge part of the fun.
What other sites fail to realize is that tumblr is prohibition era america for porn. You can't barge into any search function and go asking for it, but if you know where to go and who to ask it's absolutely still being provided. It's grown over the past years so much that these days you can't step into a taxicab without being offered porn by the driver
