Yes, I am THAT Mad Gastronomer. Whichever one you're thinking of, that's me. The one and only. If you know me from elsewhere, feel free to say hi, just let me know who you are.
Queer, cis, white, mentally ill, pagan fat woman.
My Hellenic religion and magic blog is hexdotink.
I consistently fail at tagging anything ever. Not an ideological stance, I just fail at it. Not a safe blog to follow if you need things tagged.
no not ABOUT me. TO me. share with me a nice little fact or story! something longlost and tenderhearted. a little slice of schadenfreude. a truth about the world that will send me into a psychological nosedive or whatnot. im not picky!!
In Namibia’s Etosha National Park, elephants often appear ghostly white—covered in a layer of pale clay and calcite dust from the park’s dry, mineral-rich landscape. These mud baths help them cool off in the scorching 40°C heat while offering protection from the sun and parasites. The result is a surreal and striking look that makes them seem like creatures from another world.
This powerful moment was captured by Anja Denker, a renowned wildlife photographer whose work showcases the raw beauty and wonder of Africa’s wildlife.
I didn’t see this in the notes yet. So. If you crash cars with someone. You stop, you pull over to the side if you can, you don’t leave. If someone is hurt or crying, call 911 or your emergency number. Never hurts to get checked out. You write down the other person’s license plate and car make and model and colour, and get their driver’s license number. You write down what happened and how it happened. If you both can drive and no one is hurt you can go after exchanging information (don’t try to agree on what happened. Don’t make deals with the person.)
When you get home, call your car insurance provider. Describe the damage to your car and any injuries and how it happened. They’ll ask for the info I told you to get above.
You’ll probably have to take your car to a registered provider who can get an insurance approved quote for repairs.
See your doctor if you are still shaky after a couple of hours. Whiplash gets worse for the first few days so you might think you’re fine but when the adrenaline wears off, you’re not. Symptoms include headache dizziness nausea as well as neck and back pain.
If you see an accident happen, don’t leave. Be the one to call the emergency number if people are injured or not getting out of their car and walking around. Give your phone number and name to both people or to the emergency providers and expect a call from the insurance company. They’ll ask you to tell them what you saw. Be honest.
Drive safe out there, and be prepared. You can call your dad later and he’ll be so proud of you for handling it.
