#anyways research this learn about this

"calorie" means nothing about the food. it's a unit of energy, it measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one liter of water by 1°C. paper can be measured in calories. your tshirt as well. doesn't make it food.

the units to use when considering what to eat are, generally, proteins, carbs and fibers. there are many more nutrients but for the basics, these three are pretty much all you need when you try to figure out what to eat and if it's "healthy" to eat.

donuts? donuts don't have a lot of fibers and proteins. accompany your donus with a protein source (meat for example) and veggies! to add some needed vitamins, you can add a fruit.

only eating broccoli isn't gonna get you far, much like only eating bread. only eating one out of the three isn't enough, you need all three of them.

do get informed on this topic to make informed choices for your health. in general, avoid anything that only talks of calories, these things could be telling you to eat paper and you'd get the same result.

and do remember your body needs energy for everything it does! even sleep! even sitting! your heart still beats, your brain still thinks, your lungs still breath!

if you're always sleepy / tired, you might not be eating enough ! when my sister started her teaching job, she ended up needing a nap every time she came home at the end of her day. she thought she was sick, her doctor was lost. and then she watched a documentary and in it, there were mentions of how tired and sleepy under nourished people can be and it clicked. she doubled her portions and didn't need a nap anymore. mind you she wasn't super thin nor big, she was like average weight, so her doc didn't think of that.

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds

if youre still taking requests, i would love to see something where laios is wooing kabru or maybe laios and kabru working together post-canon :)

Shit's rough ...have Kabru finally getting the shoujo moment he deserves <3

Also my friend said that Kabru looks like he's reacting to a marriage proposal instead of a flirt so I doodled them crying about it as well

Twitter shouldn't be the only one to see the video version of this

I was waiting for Tumblr to be grumpy about the size so it's really just the Loop talk

[is-it-true-tho]

inspired by @is-the-post-reliable , i decided to make a research blog on an almost impulse bc I've been wanting to do something like this but never did bc I wasn't in the mood

so, basically, like that blog I'll too try to tell if a post here on tumblr is true or not

keep in mind that I won't do politics bc I'm very likely not from that place. yes I could do research but god. I feel like I need to do a whole history knowledge to start to know about the politics in there and I don't think a quick and probably shallow research will be sufficient.

that said, the only politics i'll be talking about is brazilian politics

stealing ITPR rating system

RELIABLE - Entirely accurate, supported by reliable sources.

MOSTLY RELIABLE - Generally accurate, but may be slightly misleading (ie by omitting relevant contradictory information), or may contain a minor error.

PARTIALLY RELIABLE - Includes some reliable information, but also includes errors.

UNRELIABLE - Misinformation. May include some small amounts of factual information, but is mostly unreliable, or the overall impression is misleading/incorrect. 

I also rate things as TBC (To Be Confirmed) when I feel I do not have enough reliable information to rate a post as reliable or not reliable.

I'm a strong "percy would get a job in education/outreach to underprivileged kids in the future" truther but I don't necessarily agree with people who say that him taking on marine biology as a college major doesn't make sense at all

"why would he study marine biology he can already work with sea animals to his heart's desire" I don't know maybe because he wants to get paid???????? he wants a normal job???? percy grew up poor and unsafe. why is it weird that he craves stability with a career that enables him to do something that he loves? or maybe he wants to go into the system and help bring about lasting reform that will actually improve care for sea creatures??? yes he can save sea animals on his own time but think about it. is it better to abandon his life in the middle of the night to go help a trapped sea creature Every Single Time it happens or is it better to enter the system and make it so that capitalists stop polluting water or disturbing sea ecosystems for profit. his powers as a son of poseidon are a band-aid not a lasting solution to systemic environmental neglect and decay. he has an established precedent of caring for bringing about systemic change (see: turning down immortality) and for me this is no different (I just personally headcanon him wanting to bring change for disadvantaged kids but whatever)

to me this logic is like telling an exceptional artist that there's no point in going to art school to become a professional when they can already just do art on their own time for fun. like yeah....... if you're content with doing that as just a hobby. but what if you want to become an even better artist and learn new skills. what if you want to do it as a job that pays you and gives you health insurance and social security. then what

for me the main logistical issue of him majoring in marine biology has never been that he would never do that it's that the intersection of new rome college accreditation to the Actual Real world isn't all that clear/logistically sound. like I guess the mist can handle anything but what impact is new rome going to be able to have on the realm of mortals. this would be a nice thing to discuss actually (more in tags)

[essektheylyss]

just had to give a gentle nudge about research ethics on discord. with an Essek profile pic. I'm still laughing.

[andoutofharm]

all i’m gonna say on the whole thing is yes ai art is not great and they did in fact fuck up but:

1) people are in fact human, including people in bands, and they will disappoint you. get more comfortable with that because it is fact and it will happen again because humans fuck up. this time it was because of misinformation or a lack of research and there was no malicious intent at all. anthony did more research and his views shifted and he recognized their mistake.

2) if you tell someone to kill themselves over something like this you are genuinely fucked up, especially when that person (anthony) has struggled with suicidal tendencies before. jesus christ.

in conclusion: have some fucking nuance. just a little.

I recorded all this back in February and March but never got around to editing it all together, so here it finally is. Definitely not because I’m really bad at talking to a camera and I feel like the whole thing awful. I’m gonna get better pictures in the morning, because I have a migraine. But this is my little whaleshark buddy. Any name suggestions?

I recently found some old sketches for my Kentucky-based fakemon project and decided to clean em up. These two lines are based on the state butterfly, the Viceroy, and its Müllerian mimic, the Monarch.

Both would be a simple bug/flying combo, but I think it'd be cool if they had abilities that played together when they're sent into double battles. Maybe something that increases evasion and defense when they're on the battlefield at the same time, or maybe something niche like a chance to poison opponents when hit with Lick or Bite.

People with no interest in Yuri at all really will just say "well that series is probably made for men" about stories that are written by lesbians, huh?

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist

[bittsandpieces]

Pls stfu u r not autistic, if u haven’t been diagnosed by a real doctor shut up. U keep saying that shit for attention it’s annoying tbh disrespectful to all the people who REALLY have autism

Hey. if you'd like to go speak to my psychiatrist(s) about my formal diagnosis, you're welcome to do that, but in my personal opinion? You should keep your nose out of other people's FUCKING business.

EVERY. MOMENT. OF MY LIFE has been influenced and affected by my autism. I can barely make friends. I had to be taught to make eye contact as a child. I've had screaming breakdowns where I ripped the backs of my hands open with my nails because I got overwhelmed. Every real life social interaction I have feels like a performance where I'm missing the goddamn script but somehow everyone else knows exactly what their line is

You. Don't. Know. Me.

Oh, just because I'm hot and kinky and funny online I can't be autistic? Just because you see this one small element of my life, you think you know me and my medical history and diagnoses? What a fucking joke.

hot take but like why are we as a society still using lead in manufacturing processes in 2024...

anyway tldr of this is that you are not being exposed to lead unless the circular piece on the bottom of the cup is damaged. so, owning a cup like this will likely not result in lead exposure. this is similar to the fact that in older housing where lead paint has been painted over in subsequent decades, and that paint is in good condition, then it is not a risk. lead based paint only becomes an issue when it is deteriorating (chipping, cracking, peeling, chalking, etc) or being turned into dust during renovation activites. so yeah, in a similar way--you aren't going to get lead poisoning unless the steel compontent on this water bottles comes off.

but also this article says that these lead pellets that are used in the cups are an "industry standard" and i'm like: why? WHY is it industry standard in 2024? at least with lead pipes and lead based paint, we're just dealing with issues from prior decades. but this is current so there is a conscious decision to still use lead in products. also, i don't know enough about this subject (bottle manufacturing) to know why they prefer to use lead for this step, or where in the world they manufacture the cups, but my other concern is that even though the general public will likely not be exposed if it's covered, there are still workers who have to handle it during production.

anyway, i just find that i am constantly learning about more places that lead gets found and it's just. sigh. i know lead has many appealing properties which is why it is constantly found everywhere in everything but at this point it's incredibly clear that no benefits outweigh its risks....
