thought this would be good to share.

Oops.

Relevant catechin here is epigallocatechin gallate aka EGCG. I'd noticed that the lisinopril didn't seem to be doing anything most days... This is just one 10-person study, but I might have just made it 11. Thanks, @ms-demeanor .

A common heart disease medication gets nuked by green tea, which is of course widely-known/frequently chosen for... Heart Benefits.

THE MORE YOU KNOW

My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.

I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”

Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️

IF YOUR

MASCARA

SMELLS LIKE

crayons

DO NOT EAT IT

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Massage oils and oil-based lubricants, too!!!

Also cooking oil!

Spoilt oil products VERY OFTEN lose their normal odour and smell of crayons!

Head's up from Topatoco! This sucks... Topatoco is run by a good team and works really hard to support us artists, so please be careful and make sure you're going to the real site and not this nasty scam!

Also if you pick any PKD story at random there's like an 80% chance you'll read it and say, "Wait, didn't I see a movie with kinda sorta this plot, only with more guns?" And you'll be right.

It's incredibly impressive that they managed to spin We Can Remember It For You Wholesale out into a full movie while still technically remaining faithful-ish to the source material. I won't say it's my favourite movie, but given what they had to work with and how much runtime they had to fill, I think they did a great job of it.

There's some James Tiptree Jr. you might like too, if you asked Derin because you like their work. Try her short stories.

In light of the details from this post I just reblogged, as well as an ask I received showing that fundraisers run by an individual 'Ziad Okasha' have been scamming people and stealing money from the Ghazzans the fundraisers were organized for, I have placed the fundraisers on lines 172 and 218 in the fundraiser list under special instructions listed by the name. The Ghazzans the fundraisers were for were real and vetted, the organizer broke their trust and one of them has a working replacement for his fundraiser.

If you donated to the following two fundraisers or any fundraiser organized by 'Ziad Okasha', please request a refund:

If you're not sure, then search 'Ziad Okasha' in your email inbox search and see if you have a GFM donation receipt for a fundraiser he held. If you do get funds refunded for Karam Rafeek's fundraiser, here's his new one with a trusted organizer:

GFM will have to investigate and find a way to retrieve the money from the organizer after he already withdrew it. So it will take time to refund it. Time is of the essence, I'm sorry I didn't work on this sooner.

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

kids these days don’t know how lethal stagnant water is

If you’re exploring an abandoned building and find stagnant water your next sentence should be either “I am equipping my respirator” or “I am leaving”

It’s the 19th anniversary of Katrina and therefore also the 19th anniversary of me and my family getting Katrina cough

Mold spores and airborne bacteria and algae are not a joke. They kill people. Don’t play in them

The weight loss industry is based entirely on pseudoscience, people only very rarely permanently keep weight off and the stress to the health of those that do are severe. But we're required to take it seriously because people want to pretend they mistreat fat people for good reasons and not because they're bigots

#podcast called Maintenance Phase if you're interested in dissecting the pseudoscience(via @arrows-for-pens)

Okay.... this is anti-semitic. It's very clearly anti-semitic imagery, Jews with their hands around the entire planet, and the fucking SS lightning bolts are Not subtle. I'm all in on criticizing Israel but this is straight up Nazi symbolism. What the fuck guys. Fuck the state of Israel and also let's not reblog Nazi propoganda?????? What the fuck. What the actual fuck.

Oh baby you think this is bad? Check out this clowns other work

"(((They"))) need workers to fuel the economy

Ah yes. Classic "Jews hypnotized the world" shtick

This one above is the most blatant one so far. (((They))) are immensely powerful and want to dominate the world. Notice the glasses too. One of the classic antisemitic tropes is that Jews are "blind to the truth" and are often depicted wearing glasses in antisemitic media.

Now let's review the last one I can stomach for today.

CURB STOMPING IS A CLASSIC NAZI ATTACK

Don't believe me?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_stomp

Check out the "notable incidents"

Funnily enough; a few months ago (real followers remember) a leftist antisemitic mutual whined about me pointing out antisemitism and then told me to "bite the curb zio"

"Zio" is also a term used by nazis and coined by David Duke himself. Surprised they didn't use it here.

@thererisesaredstar you are promoting fucking nazi imagery and ideology. I know you know this. I know you'll block me and probably add me to a list over this. Nevertheless I will not be silent. You should be fucking ashamed.

y'all we HAVE to be vigilant about this stuff

i straight up dont interact with stuff that is using "zionist" as a noun and a pejorative

tired of people acting like it's "not important" to make sure you're not spreading nazi shit
