sooo incredible that the first female captain in star trek has a first officer who’s so stupidly in love with her that he just follows her around hopelessly. like yeah I Am the Captain of this Vessel. Oh, who’s that? Oh That’s My Loyal and Besotted Knight. Yeah he comes with my whole thing. He Serves me with Undying and Patient Devotion. Sometimes he carves me a bathtub.

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).

Ahhh, there’s the obvious conclusion.

If we can de-extinct* species, surely there’s no point in worrying about endangered species anymore! We can bring them back anytime!

*depending on your definition of de-extinction.

anyone else's brain at any given time: (anything else)

my brain, afflicted and cursed: eating alfalfa seeds gives monkeys lupus-like autoimmune disease. eating alfalfa makes lupus mice sicker. eating alfalfa can really fucking hurt humans and cause immune system problems resembling lupus. or can worsen lupus. alfalfa. alfalfa seeds. alfalfa sprouts. an ingredient that you put on sandwiches and buy at the store. alfalfa, the plant with a friendly name. medicago sativa. funny how it is called "medic" when it can make someone need a medic. also called lucerne. the same name given to a city in switzerland, in the german-speaking portion of switzerland. do they know? do they know what alfalfa does? how do they feel about alfalfa? alfalfa, the perennial flowering plant in the legume family fabaceae. used to feed livestock since the era of ancient greeks and romans. it has a tetraploid genome, did you know? I know this now because if alfalfa can be so dangerous and I have gone so many years without knowing, what else is alfalfa fucking hiding? aside from its extensive history of harboring salmonella and e. coli. I already knew that. the L-Canavanine content is higher in seeds than in sprouts. but it is in sprouts too. alfalfa can interact with blood thinners, birth control pills, estrogens in human. it can reduce fertility in sheep and cattle. and it is not even just alfalfa with that awful amino acid. the mung bean. the green gram. the vigna radiata. used as a popular plant-based protein substitute like beyond meat and just egg. the delicious mung bean, sprouted in such a perfect way that it usually just gets called bean sprout. the bean sprout. the one delicious bean sprout, which I have loved for many years. a love that I find out now was betraying me. I used to sprout mung beans. I would watch video after video on mung bean sprouting. I did it many times. it was easy. bean sprouts become more robust when you add weight on top of them as they grow. I would eat handfuls of long and thick bean sprouts at a time. I have always asked for extra bean sprouts in my meals. they take sauce so naturally, so easily. and not one single resource on sprouting mung beans ever said that eating a ton of mung beans could ever be bad. that there are diseases where you should avoid eating mung beans. diseases that can be worsened by eating mung beans and alfalfa. I never knew. I never fucking knew. this information has been in my life less than a week and it is already taking over my brain. how many other common foods are hiding dangerous secrets? how many other common things at the store, common ingredients on a sandwich, common ingredients in a delicious bibimbap, common ingredients in plant-based protein and egg substitutes and meat substitutes can send someone to a hospital without them ever knowing why? we live in such a scary world. and all along I have been telling people that sprouting mung beans is fun and easy and safe. I had no idea. I contributed to the false sense of security with mung beans. I have been part of the problem. I just stubbed my toe writing this post. this is my punishment for sharing my love of bean sprouts with the world. I need to tell everyone. I need to tell everyone that mung beans and alfalfa can cause autoimmune activity. I need to tell everyone that mung beans and alfalfa can cause a human's immune system to attack its own body. eating alfalfa or mung bean sprouts might even help trigger autoimmune disease in people with genetic risks for autoimmunity. and avoiding eating mung bean and alfalfa might reduce someone's chance of developing autoimmune disease. how vile. how repulsive. make no mistake. canavanine toxicity has killed people. it likely killed christopher mccandless, the subject of jon krakauer's book and subsequent movie into the wild. he ate seeds of the alpine sweetvetch, which also contains this awful amino acid. when sprouted the roots taste like young carrots. where can I even fucking go from here. I thought I had a friend in mung bean, I thought I could trust alfalfa, I thought there was no harm, and it was all a lie. it was all a big fucking lie.

Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.

Pleasure affects our metabolic pathways; it’s a facet of the complex gut-brain connection. If you’re eating foods you don’t like because you think it’s healthy, it’s not actually doing your body much good (it’s also unsustainable, we’re pleasure-seeking creatures). Eat food you enjoy, it’s a win-win.

promising myself little treats in return for a completed task is not enough. I need someone to hold a friend or family member hostage.
