Anti-Bath and Body Works post: -B&BW is the overconsumption business model of all time. It's one thing to have a collection of perfumes, it's another to have excessive amounts of scented soaps or lotions that don't carry a scent longer than your shower and are also bad for your skin. -A lot of people own B&BW products well past their expiration dates and never use them up. They have a shelf life of three years! Do you have body washes or sprays in your storage space older than that? -The body sprays are bad on most people's body chemistry and y'all be wearing way too much of it. You all smell like fruit loops and it's the axe body spray for women. -Speaking of wearing way too much of it, you guys are out there triggering migraines and asthma attacks in people who are sensitive to it. -Lung cancer is on the rise in women under the age of 55 and we still don't know why. B&BW has carcinogens in their ingredients and IS linked to breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. -The owners were in the Epstein files. If you want a nice, sensory bathing experience, please switch to artisian bar soaps that use essential oils rather than chemicals listed as "fragrance". Use a real perfume and learn to apply it correctly.

I got hit by a truck today and though I'm okay, it's starting to set in and I feel the same as when I had an embarrassing social situation that I have to mull over. IDK why my head is going down the route of self-blame this time, I know I'm not the one at fault. It just feels bad, man.

Headcanons about Pokemon with telepathy: -Telepathy is for sending and receiving meaning, feelings, and intentions directly to and from the brain. So: -Telepathy can bypass language barriers if a Pokemon is talking to somebody face-to-face. A telepathic message might be interpreted slightly differently if two people hear it but they speak different languages. -Telepathy is a mild form of mind-reading. Somebody speaking to a telepathic Pokemon would be intentionally trying to get their ideas across, so the spoken thoughts are freely accessible. Deeper mind reading takes more concentrated effort and mileage will vary depending on the strength of the Pokemon. -A telepathic Pokemon needs to learn a language in order to read it. -A telepathic Pokemon needs to learn a language to understand recorded speech, such as a song on a radio or show on the television. -Their telepathic voices cannot be recorded with audio equipment. Cameras cannot record their speech and they cannot use telepathy to speak on a phone call. -Stronger psychics like Mewtwo can bypass language barriers on a screen or speaker if the recording is happening in real time and they know the location of the camera or microphone. -Being able to physically speak a language is not the same skill as knowing the language. A telepathic Pokemon might be able to understand a language without using their telepathy but they still have to train themselves if they want to physically speak it. -Pokemon can still have regional dialects or accents with their telepathy. If they're speaking to a human that does not speak the language the dialect comes from, the human will perceive it in their own language with a foreign accent. -Telepathic voices can sound gendered but might not always. It will match the Pokemon's self-perception.
