On this day in 1943, the creator of LSD, Albert Hofmann, did something wild:
Ran the first human test.
𝗢𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.
3 days earlier, he'd accidentally absorbed some through his skin working in the lab.
Felt great, felt interesting, so he decided:
let's try this properly with
a 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘦...
250μg (at 4:20 pm)
Shortly after taking it, things got weird:
He couldn't write anymore.
Vision going sideways.
Time felt strange.
He asked his assistant: "Take me home."
But this was 1943. Middle of WWII.
No cars allowed on the roads.
So they grabbed bicycles.
Hofmann pedaling through Basel, Switzerland, experiencing something no human had ever felt before.
But in that moment...
𝗛𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗲'𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Something amazing. Something that would change the world forever.
By the next morning?
He woke up feeling incredible.
Like seeing the world for the first time.
And the rest...Woodstock, Rock & Roll, and the swinging 60s...was history.
Happy Bicycle Day, everyone!

hey I know that everything feels bleak and barfy right now, but if it helps a little, please remember that sea stars can regenerate a lost limb and sloths can hold their breath for 40 minutes and all houseflies buzz in the key of F and otters hold hands while they sleep and penguins propose with a pebble and everything around us is actually quite magical all of the time too

é engraçado que geralmente que tenta rebaixar o carnaval como algo “sem cultura” é justamente a pessoa que não tem bagagem cultural nenhuma
não tem leitura de livros clássicos, não conhece muitos filmes, não tem conhecimento de idiomas
é só um burro tentando parecer inteligente por não gostar de algo popular

Holocaust Survivor and trauma specialist Dr. Gabor Maté on Going Underground:
“There's always this question of ‘is the Israeli response to October 7th proportionate or disproportionate?’
Another question is, ‘is October 7th a proportionate response to 80 years of oppression?'”
Today marks two years since the attack by Palestinian resistance groups against Israel
