"Well how else am I supposed to survive on my own in this unlivable economy?!? Food costs as much as the utility bills, and health insurance costs more than rent! I'd have to work 2 full-time jobs and share a 1 bedroom apartment with 5 other people to cover the cost of living with minimum wage this low! What does your 'book of wisdom' say about that? Does it have any REAL solutions in it, or is it just a how-to guide to increasing the poverty gap?"

The elder stepped forward slowly. In one hand, his crooked staff, in the other, the book of wisdom. “Hunters do not harvest. Harvesters do not heal. Healers do not hunt. You have broken the great tradition. Explain yourself.”

The reason why ginger ale such as Canada Dry (especially flat) help is usually due to the ginger (not at all from the carbonation really unless you have gas). This may also be why a place with a lot of tea drinking history like Britain may instead opt for something like lemon and ginger tea (especially with honey), as the lemon and honey help sooth the troat while the ginger and the warmth of the tea settle the stomach.

Something such as ginger beer (no it isn't alcohol) can probably also be used, however ginger beer is considered to be spicy to some people, especially younger children and may end up upsetting their stomach with the carbonation from it. Eating slices of ginger on their own isn't something widely enjoyed from my knowlege, but could also help in settling the stomach too.

There may also be additional placebo effect healing due to an association made between a tasty drink and the medicine usually given beforehand which usually tastes very bad. So when feeling sick and drinking a specific drink, the flavor triggers processes that an settle the stomach (although it still needs medicine and rest to recover quickly). This is honestly the only logic I can find for drinking any cola, as it has no lemon or ginger, besides the electrolytes within flavoured drinks also helping in hydrating the body more efficiently, as just straight water can end up going right through you when you're sick.

On the island where I live (in Canada, not the USA), we use the Canada Dry Ginger Ale remedy as well, but instead of eating light foods like crackers or bread with it, we have a certain kind of light, thin cookie we eat too. This cookie is called a gingersnap, as they are flavoured with ginger, and any good gingersnap will snap loudly when broken or bitten into (you can dip them into milk or tea to soften them tho). Part of the reason for this is that the ginger in the cookie makes for a snack much more agreeable with an upset stomach, and the other part is that one of the companies that produces them is based on this island so they are widely available, and the brand is part of the island's heritage and identity so they are beloved. But many people who bake know the recipe too and are usually happy to make a batch and share some with their friends and family members who are sick so that they can at least not be sick AND hungry.

And put where you're from in the tags if you're comfortable w it!!!

The real magic that angel revealed to Solomon was how to format a journal that vibes with my type of neurodivergence. Truly some great knowledge.

Day 1 of Drawlloween 2023: Ghost

Since I'm about to run Sarah of Yellowcrest Manor (one of the Candlekeep Mysteries) as my first time ever DM-ing, I figured I'd draw the ghost of Sarah and her haunted journal!

It's been half a decade since my last Drawlloween, let's get back to it!

(Maybe my art will be better then back then too...)

So who's up for some #drawlloween this year?

Stuck waiting for the only cross-provence bus, and it's 2 hours late. I'm 3 hours of forest and danger away from home. It's 8pm and I'd love to just levitate away.

@pukicho My money's on you in a fight

Brands getting into the shitposting game has always rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t care how savage you think the green owl from the language app is, they aren’t even allowed to say fuck.

Let the endless void of the United States consume you, become another star and stripe as you sink into the vortex of The American Melting Potᵀᴹ

I recently learned that the Star-Spangled Banner flag (as in, the flag flown over Fort McHenry that inspired the Francis Scott Key poem) has fifteen stripes instead of thirteen, because the tradition at the time was to increase the number of stripes along with the number of stars as more states joined the union.

I assume this tradition ended because of cowardice. I've prepared several options to revive the tradition:

The most direct approach. Looks vaguely pink from a distance.

I like how this one emphasizes how much more America there is now than there used to be.

I think plaid fits nicely, too. As a bonus, a lot of existing tablecloths could be converted to this design with just the addition of the canton.

Honestly, I just spent too much time making this one not to post it.

I'm glad some countries in the South Pole celebrate Pride. Especially because I plan on trying to go do a year of fieldwork research down there about multiculturalism, isolation, gender/sexual identity, and power dynamics in Antarctic research bases.

Hear me out: what if his classmates think Spiderman saw HIS hairstyle and copied it?

So do Pavitr’s classmates just think he’s such a big Spiderman fanboy that he does his hair like Spiderman’s?

Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.

I don't think the actual levels of crazy in polititians has actually changed all that much, but the real factor is the ability and willingness to tell those politicians that those are stupid ideas and they should be rightfully ridiculed for it have either decreased or have been ignored, while more people who blindly follow these politicians and those who maliciously push agendas and create false moral panics have increased tenfold.

remember when this was the craziest thing politicians ever said

Is he prepared for this in any way? Doe he have padding for when he makes contact with the ground, or does some catboy-like reflexes just kick in and he lands on his feet?
