There should be a service during heatwaves where the government sends you 2-5 scantily clad burly men to fan you with palm fronds and feed you peeled grapes.

If you think the risks of birth control are in any way shape or form comparable to how dangerous pregnancy is, you're either stupid or a conservative, and your opinion isn't worth shit.

The Illustrious Client - part 1

"Both Holmes and I had a weakness for the Turkish bath. It was over a smoke in the pleasant lassitude of the drying-room that I have found him less reticent and more human than anywhere else. On the upper floor of the Northumberland Avenue establishment there is an isolated corner where two couches lie side by side, and it was on these that we lay upon the day my narrative begins. I had asked him whether anything was stirring, and for answer he had shot his long, thin, nervous arm out of the sheets which enveloped him and had drawn an envelope from the inside pocket of the coat which hung beside him." I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP YOU GUYS

several more parts to come! I don't know if 'scorbutic' has another meaning but I think it's funny that Shinwell Johnson has a mild case of scurvy for no apparent reason.

"exercise will give you more energy" gets said a lot as a common piece of health advice but I think it needs to be expanded into "exercising will make you tired while you do it, and you will continue to be tired immediately afterwards, sometimes even the next day too, but over months of consistent exercise, your muscles will get stronger and therefore get less tired out by everyday activities, making you feel like day-to-day life takes less physical energy than it used to"

Uncomfortable facts of life:

Nobody's going to magically swoop in to rescue you. You can't just sit there and expect someone else to come save you. You have to get your shit together and do it yourself.

About 90% of the time, the "it" you have to do on your own is pushing yourself to walk up to someone else and use your words to say "hey I need help."
