A public service announcement that Customer Service Wolf now has a dedicated Instagram account. I’ll be backposting from the archives over the next few weeks as well as sketches and unseen material. See you there, and here, and maybe a few places in between. 🧡🐺✨
I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery
People can't just say "I don't like this music" anymore they gotta call you gay and autistic for listening to a band that had one song go viral
just gonna drop this here
honestly i think a lot of the ideas of herbalism and alternative medicine are ruined a little bit by the fact that the first thing your body does with something after eating it, is dump it in a pit of acid
"This herb has astringent properties, so if you drink it in a tea it should help reduce menstrual bleeding" it went in the acid
im not an expert on medicine or herbs. happy to hear input from anyone who is
clarification: yes obviously The Acid doesn't prevent the functioning of medicines and like, food, else we'd all be dead
however a lot of this herbalism stuff seems to assume that just cause a plant has a property, that property will be preserved after you eat it and affect the part of your body youre trying to treat
"it kills cancer cells" but like, does it kill cancer cells in the body of a person, or in a petri dish, and does it kill cancer cells selectively or just...kill cells
yes exactly what i mean here
I mean, the ultimate problem with most of herbalism is that they're not ultimately interested in the mechanisms of action or in evidence at all, because they continue to recommend stuff that's been thoroughly investigated and has no evidence of an active ingredient or that it works at all.
For example, echinacea. There is no good evidence that it does anything as far as I know and it has been studied A LOT.
But lack of evidence doesn't discredit anything in the herbalism world cause its totally uncoupled itself from science.
Oh yeah, and in the USA, there is the fact that herbal supplements are not regulated or quality tested at all so they often don't even contain the plant that they are supposed to be.
On the topic of garlic, iirc allicin present in raw garlic after breaking its cells (so grating or chopping it) has proven antibacterial and antiviral properties. Might partially be placebo but with effects being studied I use a raw sliced clove on bread (in the evening… Don’t wanna kill people lol) a day when a lot of people around me are sick. Even if it only works in the mouth and throat before being digested, that’s still better than nothing for me
(this does not mean i don’t agree with the notion of being sceptical of herbal remedies. Some are bullshit some work but not nearly as strongly as some people boast them to etc etc)
Also side effects. Garlic also lowers blood pressure so. Maybe not a good idea if yours is low apready
quite literally me when i am lying

I did this same poll in a much smaller group (~35 people), but I have a lot of followers here, so I'm curious. Please reblog to increase sample size<3

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them
It's always "oh no my evil clone or twin or whatever is trying to kill me" and never How is my evil clone? Says a lot about society
Me, crashing the fuck out: you think you're better than me? You think you're fucking better than me???
My good clone, dodging a glass: I mean like objectively yeah
