Reported Bigfoot Sightings

Can’t believe Bigfoot was looking at furry porn while reading Martha Stewart in an IHOP

He tips well so we leave him be

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SCIENTISTS AT THE SCHMIDT OCEAN INSTITUTE HAVE FOOTAGE OF A LIVE COLOSSAL SQUID FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑

for context, scientists have know about these mfs for like a HUNDRED YEARS but only now have they actually seen one ALIVE !!

I had a dream that a raccoon was desperate to get into my house, except it was build like a tardigrade with 12 legs

I’m so glad you shared this OP

When my mother gets into facebook fights with her childhood friends who grew up to be racists, she passive-aggressively fucks with them by making a donation to a local refugee assistance organization in the name of their immigrant grandmothers, a donation large enough that they get a card from the organization saying so.   She passive aggressively fucks with the same demographic of friends who #bluelivesmatter by commenting with details about the various petty crimes they committed together as teens, e.g. “Wow Joey, where was all the respect for blue lives when we hotboxed your uncle’s patrol car?” 

And obviously both these approaches are specific to former juvenile delinquent turned UMC babyboomer but it feel still inspirational in that we can all find our own chaotic good pettiness niche.

thank you so much!

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

I actually, genuinely think social event aftercare would fix me. I need someone to put me to bed and say "you were fun today and no one hated you"

#theres a thing called 'larp drop' thats essentially this#esp since when having a great time you might be more inclined to disregard your limits and ignore discomfort#(and forget to eat/drink if its larp whoops)#and then once you have a moment to yourself it all comes crashing in#source: once forgot to eat at larp and had a sobbing fit in my car that ended the instant i bit into a chicken nugget - @queerfarmgremlin

this is also true of festivals, conventions, pride parades, concerts, and any situation where you have a lot of fun with other people!

Different Stories Resonate with Different People

I will always reblog this.

I once spent three hours scouring the internet to find this comic again, I will not let that be repeated.

one of the culprits here in the public obliviousness about covid is that medical science has completely failed to integrate the fact that infections and injuries have permanent effects into wider culture. it has been documented and known for decades that narcolepsy follows viral and bacterial infections but most doctors wont mention this to you and many of them dont even know about it. every single time you get strep throat, an ear infection, the flu, food poisoning, a bonk on the head, major surgery, sepsis, or cold sores, you have a N% chance to develop permanent disability from it. the 'shit happens' principle of medical science has been seemingly purposefully erased from the public consciousness and im not entirely sure why. american litigiousness and the drug testing process maybe. getting food poisoning from someone not washing their hands before making your meal at a restaurant can not just kill you, but it can give you a permanent chronic illness like narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, gastroparesis, whatever. instead of this just being common knowledge we have this bizarre concept of diseases as being ineffable and irresistible but simply an inconvenience all good citizens must endure

she’s so beautiful

A friend of mine who shall remain nameless works on a science conference in the US annually that usually gets about 1000 to 2000 international visitors. This year, they've had less than two dozen registrations from outside the US.

the nutrition thing is so frustrating. it's just good sense to tell people to "check with their doctors" about all this stuff, and it's ethically necesarry to say that when advising anyone on the internet about it, and i'm not saying we shouldn;t, BUT to be perfectly honest i have never had a doctor give a shit about nutritional deficiencies beyond occasionally doing basic tests and then refusing to entertain any further investigation or treatment if the tests turned up in the normal ranges. none of them were aware of the tissue levels vs serum levels problem at all, many of them were dismissive when i told them about it. a doctor recently sent me trekking to a lab in person for a celiac marker test without knowing or informing me first that you cannot test for celiac markers without the patient eating gluten at high rates for at least 8 weeks beforehand, because, and both of us should have guessed this beforehand without being told because it is obvious but in my case it's because i read a lot of papers and in her case it is because she is a fucking doctor, unless your body has enough gluten inside of it to be reacting to at the time the blood is drawn, you will get a false negative. so she wasted both our time! and we still don't know if i have celiac or not!

it goes without saying that making an appointment with an allergist had to be booked out ten months in advance. still waiting.

the POTS anemia thing is so obscure, despite it, again, being a common sense result of not having enough blood, that i had never heard about it anywhere including in any POTS-specific writing by POTS experts until i read that one paper i linked to.

i think this issue is especially bad in America because nutrition is a national blind spot. every patient is assumed to have access to adequate nutrients when they walk in the door. we think that everyone in the country eats "too many calories" and is "fat" due to a personal state of sinfulness. underweight patients are considered admirable anomalies until you get down below like a 16 BMI, at which point you are assumed to be crazy and have an eating disorder. having low blood pressure is also treated like something the patient deserves to be complimented on, instead of a symptom. salt is considered poison. reducing salt is the primary intervention in all high blood pressure conditions despite it, again, having had dogshit evidence behind it for decades. autoimmune and dysautonomic conditions are never suspected, tested for or treated without the patient spending ten years fighting about it. postviral sequelae are treated like hysteria again, despite decades of evidence to the contrary.

ive never even met a doctor who knew that taking a multivitamin can fuck up your test results for thyroid markers because biotin will mask the results in both directions!

it's incredibly frustrating when ethical common sense demands that you encourage people to take care of their own safety by 'checking with their doctor' when doctors are apparently being trained roughly at the level of the school of Hippocrates, where they use augury and the colors of the local pigs to diagnose the patient and none of them have read any research at all
