Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut.

That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

So a lot has changed since I stopped taking nortriptyline but turns out I will still flare if I stay on my feet too long while the weather is in flux 🙃

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants.

This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters.

It was always about cruelty.

I need to put more jazz and classical back into my classroom playlist. I just spotted one of my 7th graders jamming when Take 5 came on.

Hey girl, I’ve got an ear infection, and the only cure is oomoxicillin. - Quark, probably

So you hear a lot of "we're losing states b/c everyone moves to blue cities!" and not a lot of "why do people with options run to the most expensive places in the US instead of staying near home and families?" and this is one example of why.

please remember that the operators of the baby woodchipper machine are human beings with families 🥺 some of them have babies of their own at home and do you ever think how hard it must be for them to turn babies into pink goo all day? 🥺🥺🥺 no, you only think about yourself

I’m going on a cruise in Alaska with my family this month and I’m excited for a lot of reasons, but this morning I’m just sitting with the realization that my first time in Canada will only be a few hours long (we leave from Vancouver)

My ward does that thing where the youth take over primary so the primary folk can go to relief society and I hate it! We have two sacrament meetings to sing in and you’re really going to send me away from my only kids?

personally i think if you have to assure people that the very much alive activist bigot who owns the property you're adapting won't be allowed to insert her bigotry into the adaptation it's a sign that you shouldn't be adapting it but i suppose that's why i'm not being paid to destroy the hbo brand

you don’t have to treat bad faith bullshit in good faith! that’s not how that works!

that hitler was a fucking coward in the end is one of those details that his contemporary worshippers like to ignore

He went with a scream he found in a Mia Goth interview. Spooked the heck out of those students

I’m chilling in my dad’s classroom after subbing for his colleague while he works on some sound effects for his upcoming play. He’s really taking a while to pick a scream to put after some gunshots

Happy Lone Coarse Facial Hair Plucking Day to the other Polish girls

We’re getting caught up on Very Important People and I went to check IMDb and was just floored that Vic’s top “known for” credit is as the lead of a Hallmark Hanukkah movie

in terms of professions that do indeed owe you something, politician is actually one of the big ones

if it isn’t murder when a fetus absorbs and eats another fetus, abortion isn’t murder either

I'm starting my next zoom Chinese class tonight and I'm glad the automatic filters can hide that I cried through the break

Horse ebooks @Horse_ebooks Everything happens so much

a prophecy

Listen I'm happy to be listening to music and writing again, but I really wish it was not as coping mechanisms

Every time I rewatch Wrath of Khan, I think of Wolf Warrior 2, which I have never rewatched after seeing it in a SGV theatre, because both involve an insane (at least to me) use of Amazing Grace

Earthquake.

I’m glad I have well-behaved & focused classes today. Therapy kicked my ass last night and crying could be so easy today

After decades of noticing and worrying that Mormons often have a weird time with grief, I am shocked to discover that my mental health the last 4 years (and especially now) may be impacted by having a weird time with grief

90 minutes into church I am finally chilling out. I was already frustrated with an adult before a child had a meltdown in the primary room. (We have sacrament last this year)

Taking the fitted sheet out of the dryer and it's like "I have a secret ;)"
