Whoever it was who first clued me in to adding "for seniors" or "for toddlers" to my exercise searches to find stuff that actually is gentle and designed to tackle chronic pain or frequent injury you have saved my life. Arthritis website for hip exercises my beloved
Uhhh, what kinds of things in the woods can make your fingertip go numb? I understand ouchy/stingy/bitey things just fine, you know, pain, but I went to pick some really obviously edible wild mushrooms and noticed after picking a couple that one of my fingerpads was numb. Like fully, completely. Later there was MAYBE a localized single injection type point standing out slightly white in slightly reddened fingerpad, maybe. I rubbed the mushroom gills with my other fingers and it wasn’t them… they were these guys, there’s no mistaking them: https://mushroomhealthguide.com/facts-about-the-pheasant-tail-mushroom/
Like are there bugs that make you NUMB? Like dentist’s office like FULLY numb?? WHAT did I grasp accidentally out there.
Location: In the constellation Ursa Major
Type: Flocculent spiral galaxy
Discovered by: William Herschel
NGC 2841 is a beautiful example of a flocculent spiral galaxy – a type with discontinuous, featherlike, and patchy arms. A bright cusp of starlight distinguishes the galaxy's center from the dust lanes that outline the group of almost white middle-aged stars. The far younger blue stars trace the spiral arms.

[Image description: a series of tweets. The first is from Victoria Holmes, @spyturtle96, timestamped 3:06 PM, 04 May 22, with text as follows:
"Adoptees have been saying non-stop for months if not years they're getting ready for another baby scoop era and no one listened to us. And now "domestic supply of infants" is in a draft and people still won't listen to us."
It is tagged "#adopteevoices".
The next two are from Kim Penn, @kim_penn The first is timestamped 10:08 PM, 02 May 22 and contains the following text:
"I'm a very small Twitter voice, but I am begging my non-adoptee followers to educate yourself about what adoption is, what it does, and how evil and corrupt the adoption industry was and is. Listen to #adopteevoices. And then get your asses in the fight with us to end the system."
The second is timestamped 9:58 AM, 03 May 22, and contains the following text:
"I promise you, adoption is absolutely NOT the win/win, fucking fairy tale, happy ending you've been led to believe. For every #adoptee, our story begins with loss. That's our baseline. Any "happy ending" without acknowledging that is empty and an illusion."
It is tagged "#adopteevoices".
The final three are a Twitter thread from Laney (followed by three Chinese characters), @Lane_Xue, timestamped 8:55 PM, 03 May 22. The first contains text as follows:
"My parents faced reproductive, economic, social, & political injustice. I was relinquished because they could not keep me & I'm an adoptee. I am not a fucking (chess pawn emoji). Do not use my family separation to justify your desire to control others reproductive health care."
The second contains text as follows:
"Abortion is a reproductive decision.
Adoption is a parenting decision often made by poor, young, economically disenfranchised people not given the resources or support to raise their children.
Do not conflate the 2 to justify feeding the adoption industries demand for (baby's face emoji)."
The third contains text as follows:
"Do not fucking ask adoptees if they'd rather have been aborted. Adoptees are already 4x more likely to attempt suicide than non-adopted people.
The reason someone needs an abortion is none of your business."
All three are tagged "#adopteevoices".
After the final tweet there is a link to ncbi.nlm.nih.gov with the beginning of a title, "Risk of Suicide Attemptin Adopted and Nonadpoted Off…"

I love it when older coworkers try to like, kind of include you and explain things about old media to you because they assume it was "before your time" and you're too young and hip to know about this old stuff and you're stuck there not really sure how to explain what a meme is or why Columbo is in fact a meme and that there's also a weirdly thriving community of 20-something M*A*S*H and Golden Girls fans that are in your general online orbit.
one small thing that i haven’t seen anyone else mention yet, but. the end of the episode after everyone broke character and marisha was half freaking out and half laughing, and laura just kept grinning? marisha complimenting laura on “you lied” giving her chills? best best best best vibes oh my god, y’all there is a very unique feeling of terrible and wonderful following a tragic scene with a good scene partner, and it’s one of my favorite things about cr. even in the midst of the most heartwrenching scenes (”what’s my mother’s name”, “fix him”, “i have so many flowers to bring to her”, “thinner than a razor”) you can just see that part of them is simply reveling in the moment, and every member of the cast who is not in the scene is sitting there silently going !!! :D :O HOLY SHIT
The point of officially naming a pet is not to actually use that name but to have a baseline from which to come up with every conceivable nickname to call them instead.
You bury a seed not because it looks nice in the dirt, but because the limbs that branch out will look nice in the sky
Congrats on contributing to the ancient tumblr tradition of turning shitposts into profound poetry
