most basic treatments for sickness involve some form of salt water (drinking electrolytes, gargling with warm salt water, epsom salt baths) as a way of microdosing going to the seaside

#I'm pretty sure it was Lady Jane Grey from the Nine Days Queen by Karleen Bradford (1989)#I read it when I was 7ish & it was maybe the first time I'd read a book where the main character is executed#(& is also trapped in an unfair/unstoppable situation she can't do anything about)#I had already read Jurassic Park by that time but was#uhhh#rooting for the dinosaurs in that one! oops!

This poll is asking about general walkability, not your personal habits– if there is a supermarket nearby but you do not or cannot personally walk there, vote according to what a hypothetical able-bodied person would be able to do.
We ask your questions anonymously so you don’t have to! Submissions are open on the 1st and 15th of the month.

[Emergency Water Relief for Gaza City – Help Deliver Life-Saving Water
In Gaza City, clean drinking water is dangerously scarce. Families are struggling to find safe water for drinking, cooking, and basic survival. With infrastructure devastated and water sources contaminated, the need for urgent relief is critical.
We are launching a three-month emergency water distribution project to deliver clean water directly to those most in need. Two water trucks will distribute 10,000 liters per day to communities facing extreme shortages. Our goal is to ensure that families, children, and the elderly have access to safe drinking water during this crisis.
How You Can Help
We have budgeted $50,000 to sustain this project for three months. Each truckload of 5,000 liters costs roughly $300 per truck. That means:
💧 $30 provides 500 liters of clean water
💧 $150 provides 2,500 liters – enough for dozens of families
💧 $300 funds an entire truckload of 5,000 liters
💧 $600 ensures a full day of water distribution (10,000 liters)
Every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will help us reach thousands of people in Gaza City with clean, safe drinking water]
Please donate if you can!!!

inexplicability/unknowability in art is not often understood as an intentional artistic decision, let alone respected as one. I'd almost call it entitlement on the part of audience, but it's not even that, really. it's a complete inability to ask - was this ever meant to be understood in full? is there a reason why it wouldn't be? is it uncomfortable to think about? maybe it is supposed to be uncomfortable to think about.
#overall yes#but also extra yes now that I'm into the yellowackets subreddit & lots of people are complaining about the mystery elements#not that the show is perfect but man...just be patient we're only halfway through the season!!!#let there be unanswered Qs!!

OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS!! Thank you for welcoming this wee pal into your home and also giving him a cosy scarf <3

I was lucky enough to snag a handsome little raven in @jbbartram-illu most recent shop update, but my home is drafty so I made him a scarf to keep him warm until spring.

I also have to note that, in bigger actions, the Ontario gov't* has taken all American booze off the shelves of the LCBO, which just happens to be the largest buyer of alcohol in the WORLD (b/c any non-local booze has to come through the LCBO, aka the Liquor Control Board of Ontario).
* Not that I want to give goddamn Dougie Ford any gold stars, but a stopped clock is right twice a day (he also cancelled a Starlink contract that Ontario was working on, so that's also good)

America got freedom-fried
#I sincerely enjoy how every American who's reblogged this has applied the tag 'get our ass'#it's silly to do this but also hey! Stop suggesting annexation dingbats!!#I'm far from patriotic but!!!

I'm sorry sir but no a "shrimp" did not in fact fry this rice. you're lumping crustaceans together in a very unhelpful and bigoted manner. our chef is a giant freshwater crayfish.
