Ni dieu, ni maitre! Or "Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!"

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵 As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late. 👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags: 1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period. 2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER. 3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp. 👉How to actually stay safe? 1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend. 2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it. 3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it. 4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.

Asexuality isn't a broken setting. It isn't celibacy. It isn't waiting for the right person. What asexuality actually is, and why so many people go years without knowing the word exists: rcrew.com/blogs/news/you… #Asexual #AceVisibility #LGBTQ

Doesn't mean it's wrong. Advocating for eugenics & expecting people to ignore the history is just silly.

Assuming that is missing & that you have to step in... Because ignorant strangers butting in is so nice...

Another thing to consider: Are you more upset about people being told to be vigilant against certain persons or the lack of accountability for the majority of perpetrators? Just sailing on as if their victims turned to mist after.

Accepting personal transgressions... Well, first you'd have to be honest with yourself & the times you stepped over a boundary. Dismissed the harm caused & the support given to predators.

That's some struggle to pretend it's better in the in-group... Whisper networks are found everywhere. And the defenders of sexual predators & persecution of their victims likewise. Because men identify with being "falsely accused" more than being victimised.

This arguing about being included, or claims of being able to protect yourself in the middle of high tension situations. Time & place... Almost as baffling as aggression against empathy. "Don't pity me!" Talk about discarding advantage & opportunity.

Ooo ANOTHER gentle reminder to writers: don’t let the movies fool you, color is ESSENTIAL to pre-modern fashion. Peasants often scavenged for natural dyes. Here are some samples of the colors you can get with plant & lichen dyes, as well as a few good books on the subject:

@the_lt_88 They're referred to as "the terrible two's". It's actually just the start, they're meant to be difficult, it's important to develop properly. Good luck!

@SketchesbyBoze First time parent and I don't allow my kid to use phones or tablets. Strangers CONSTANTLY comment about how well behaved he is and are usually surprised he's not even two yet. I'd like to say it's me (I work from home) but I think he's just what used to be "normal" sadly...

Every teacher I know personally is leaving the profession because students have become unteachable. They don’t read, they don’t talk to each other, they have no curiosity, no passion, no interest in learning. Giving kids unfettered access to screens has ruined a generation.

Because repeatedly getting infected by a multisystemic infection would affect no one negatively. /s Must be the feeble attempts to limit the spread.

Quite the addition at the end there... And yes, most of that is covered in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Especially schooling, healthcare & living conditions. Which the US still haven't ratified. Still marrying children to adults as well.

Hopefully I can get some sleep soon. Hydration & lip balm first though. Did that mistake last sleep cycle. Fridge water almost tasted good...

@UncleRester Popular with almost all birdies, millet & buckwheat are good too.

@UncleRester They like boiled eggs, fat nuts & dog kibble, but it does attract rats. So that requires some planning.

@UncleRester He's getting an apple tonight, when the pigeons aren't bullying him & his mate away from it.

@UncleRester Spring time pep is on its way. Black bird was singing last night. It's the one that's mimicking electronics, love the little freak.

I'm actually peer reviewed published accounts of masking we know many things including: the perpetual victimisation of autistic people from a young age seems to prompt it; People at intersections of marginalisation often experience it differently; people are obviously socialised

Oh no! Foreign women! Quelle horreur!

A really bad thing with above average visual memory, that burns in traumatic images, is how they can just pop up like a revolving carousel of misery if I let my guard down. Last night it was all the dead children I've seen for the last 20 years. A rare few are blurred.
