i dont know what it is about loose persimmons that makes me astral project into a past life as a street urchin in 12th century urban china but when i see that mom’s bought some I immediately give into the impulse to stuff at least 2 of them into my pockets with greedy lil hands
hey everyone whats your astral projection food/experience
due to certain circumstances i once had to rush to board a cross city bus with my dinner in my purse, a single foil wrapped baked potato with no seasoning and immediately felt a portion of my soul drop into post-revolution Russia as i joylessly forced myself to consume for sustenance
Reblogging for my followers who might have trouble remembering whether or not they’ve taken their medicine!
OH MY GOD, THIS WILL HELP ME SO MUCH. I GET SO SCARED WHEN I DON’T KNOW IF I JUST TOOK MY MEDS TWICE.
THANK YOU, I’M ABOUT TO CRY.
Let me share with you guys a product that super helps me remember if I took my meds or not (because while the above is great, I still would manage to confuse myself):
They count as soon as you put the top back on. So if I don’t know if I’ve taken my medication for the day, I can check the cap to see how long ago I opened the container! It’s brilliant!
JFC THIS IS A GAME CHANGER.
I KNOW THIS IS MY ART BLOG BUT EVERYONE WHO TAKES MEDS SHOULD SEE THIS.
Don’t forget! ♥️
For all my friends who take meds on the regular or anyone in general. A great post.
Yeah the Rudolph elf meme is funny, but are we really forgetting about all the other great and bizarre Christmas specials moments, like when Rankin/Bass beat DreamWorks to the idea of “Hot Jack Frost” by more than 30 years?
How about when they made a Nativity fanfic with a misfit donkey and a baby angel?
That Santa Claus started off giving toys exclusively to depressed World War I-era German children? (Did I mention he was a ginger)
We also shouldn’t gloss over the time when Rudolph teamed up with a caveman, a knight and goddamn Benjamin Franklin not to walk into a bar but to save the Baby New Year.
Really, Rudolph could fill up this entire list all by himself, considering that he also teamed up with Frosty the Snowman one time to fight thiswintery motherfucker
WHO HAS GIANT ICE DRAGONS TAKE THAT NIGHT KING
And is one of the five or six clowns who are supposed to be running winter in this universe (they were not very creative when it came to making up bad guys apparently)
And later dies in the most HORRIFYING WAY POSSIBLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SHOW THIS MOVIE TO CHILDREN AGE FIVE AND UNDER
Oh, and by the way, Rudolph is also Reindeer Jesus. Look it up.
In December, while visiting a shooting range in Medley, Florida, National Guard Sgt. Valerie Deant came to a horrifying realization: Members of the North Miami Beach police force, who had just left the facility, had been using mugshots of young black men for target practice.
Your computer ships with a collection of trusted cryptographic
certificates, called its “root of trust,” which are consulted to verify
things like SSL connections and software updates.
A recent report from Secorvo
reveals that Sennheiser’s Headsetup drivers for its headphones covertly
inserted two certificates into this root of trust. What’s more, the
certificate was ineptly secured, making it possible to guess the other
half of the key-pair (certificates come in pairs; what one signs, the
other can verify, and a well-formed certificate can never be used to
infer its matching other half).
Worse still: the Headsetup installer didn’t remove the certificates when
you uninstalled the software, leaving your computer in a vulnerable
state.
The upshot: anyone with access to the Headsetup installer could figure
out the signing key, then use that key to sign certificates that would
allow them to impersonate Google, Apple, Microsoft, your bank, the IRS
(etc) to your computer, in an undetectable way, opening the door for
malware, phishing, and other attacks.
For those wondering, my url comes from a famous post by @copperbadge, discussing depression & patronuses:
I struggled with major depression from about age 12 onwards. Reading this brought me joy and a spark of light in a dark place. I thought of it often to encourage myself during the dark patches. Now that I’m in the best health of my life, it gives me no small degree of satisfaction to look back on this.
I can’t tell you how pleased I am to see your ongoing progress & survival and to know I’m a part of it 😀
As for the ask, I think it’s been adequately answered, but when I said “gaudiest” in the sense I used it, “gaudy” as in “gaudy night” implies “joyful”. Gaudiest is the most beautiful and joyful!
I’m nearly 40 and I have clinical depression. I still grapple with it sometimes, but I know my own power and I I love that I have dragged others up out of the worst of it with me.
Gaudium is Latin for Joyful. The word gaudy came to mean something about appearance in the middle ages/Renassaince, and eventually meant tasteless as the pendulum swung against bright colors.
i’m gaudy, joyful, and garish!
oh my gods it got better
this is it this is the most wholesome post on this blog
