we're heading towards some record setting humidity this summer so JUST A REMINDER that if you're in any way prone to migraines, this weather is great at triggering them! Be EXTREMELY diligent about staying hydrated if you're going out, EVEN TO AN AIR CONDITIONED SPACE, and ESPECIALLY if you are drinking any alcohol at all! even a single glass of wine or a cocktail! You will feel fine for an hour or two but then you will NOT FEEL FINE. If you have a headache that isn't responding to painkillers and it gets noticeably worse when you move or change elevations (sitting to standing, not like, going to the mountains) then drink a full glass of water and go lie down in a cool, quiet, dark room until it passes! DO NOT LOOK AT A SCREEN UNTIL THE DANGER HAS PASSED. I know you're bored but it could be so much worse!

I see this is going around again! Happy Migraine Season everybody! Remember to keep a damp washcloth in your freezer so that if you feel the migraine coming on you can lay down and press it against your forehead and temples to give yourself a better chance of ducking it before it's too late!

Also a reminder that for some folks, big changes in air pressure can also be a migraine trigger. So if you’re in an area that, like mine, is having a lot of really wild temperature swings (ie multiple very hot days that end abruptly with storms at which point it cools down a lot), might be a good idea to have your migraine remedies locked and loaded, because with migraines the sooner you intervene, the more likely it is you’ll avert the worst symptoms (and will need less medication to do so).

As a migraine sufferer, I felt it was my duty to reblog this. Stay safe, everyone!!

thought about this more and realized these reactions map on really cleanly and neatly to caffeine content lol. i think its just caffeine

For Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer, an Andrey Surnov masterpiece seems just so right!

i went to eating enough food world and they're excited to meet you. keep eating lots of meals and snacks and take my hand! we can go there.

peoples desire to not see people irl who they deem ugly is a fascist impulse.

Not enough people talking about how well broccoli holds a sauce

i dont know what tehy put in transition to make me so relentlessly happy maybe its the aging process. we uncorked a bottle of the most repressed girl in these here vineyards and now she's happy even through physical pain just for getting to feel something

but shes most happy being able to help others feel so. crucially
