y'all are so cool. my profession-named injury was just Boxer's Fracture (but i AM glad it's not a worse injury, obv). unrelated but still weird, i had scar that is now (at 21) covered in acne marks, but from age 3-20 i had a scar on my cheek from being bitten by a classmate

You know you've fucked up when you go to a doctor and the thing you have wrong with you has been named after an occupation that isn't a thing anymore. Like imagine a doctor looking at you and going "yeah you've got ox-drawn ploughman's disease. We don't even test for that anymore. Yeah the reason you've never heard of it is because the last known case was in 1927 and happened to some guy who was like 98 years old and didn't believe in modern medicine of the time. What the fuck have you been up to."

Since the last Positive Israel newsletter the Middle East has seen some monumental changes. Israel's borders have been strengthened and many hostile threats to Israel's citizens have been eliminated or vastly reduced. In other areas Israel's recent achievements also have been awesome. Israel's phenomenal medical researchers can now detect and potentially eliminate many severe genetic diseases. More groundbreaking Israeli technological innovations are bringing immense benefits to the environment, agriculture, energy efficiency, security, commerce, and transportation. Meanwhile, we thank the leaders of Paraguay and Uruguay for their powerful support to the Jewish State. 

The photo of Mount Hermon is from the poster display at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. The entire monumental strategic site is under Israeli control for the first time in 50 years.

THIS IS AN AMAZING WAY TO THINK OF CHRONIC PAIN

[selkramazed]

Whoa. Bird disease ✨

Well i have decided to make a little silly phenomenon in pareidolia so. yes folke is used as an example for a reason no i wont elaborate... but i will elaborate about the phenomenon below...

most humans associate the scars with trolls (keep in mind this is about basilisks in the nordics so) because of the idea that trolls shapeshift (in Pareidolia Reality they don't and the "real" trolls are more baueresque than the more traditional view. but its all human terminology anyway lol). any humans with troll scars tend to try to hide them bcs of it, but it can be hard depending on how extensive they are - if you just got a scar where you have extra furring, you may just be able to shave it. if you got the feather variant, it might suck a bit more lol...

troll scars are premanent, the tissue it affects will be forever changed.

filament tends to be somewhat adapted to fit where the original tissue was. claws won't grow from random patches of skin etc.

pigment is usually inherited from the scarred individual, but on rare occasions it may spontaneously "pick up" on local bird species pigmentation like basilisks do in development (as baby)

metamorfum acid burns heal very fast - a large area can heal in about as little as a month. but that's just for the "superficial" healing, and it will appear like a normal burn scar at first until it'll slowly start to grow the new filaments or the tissue will appear to "change".

basilisk acid burns rarely ever go deeper than the skin because it stops being active fast after exiting the basilisk body.

many basilisk cultures are hesitant about interspecies relationships (with other sophonts i mean) using hastuik as a justification. interestingly enough, metamorfum accidents don't seem to affect harpies as badly, probably because the two species are related, so there's usually less of a hesitation in regards to those relationships. it may vary however from community to community

hastuik is a basilisk term (well among scandinavian basilisks) which often refers to these scars but also in other contexts and is also a combination of two words - "hastu", which is also a family suffix (used for chicks before they pick their name), whose meanings include young/youth, chick and naiveté, while "ik" can be translated to foolishness/stubbornness (specfically with the connotation that it is unreasonable). calling another basilisk hastuik is basically calling them naive/childish in a derogatory sense since the term is kind of obsolete for them anyway (the acid burns heal normally for them)

A disease often thought to only affect 18th century sailors is reemerging in Canada.

Earlier this week, doctors identified 27 cases of scurvy caused by prolonged and severe vitamin C deficiency in northern Saskatchewan. Experts say the confirmed diagnoses highlight a broader issue with poverty and food insecurity in rural and remote communities across the country.

Being a clown was an infectious disease and one of the first symptoms was the sudden urge to juggle and in the late stages your face would turn white and have unique markings that matched your personality.
