Hi we did it

Ear care — the most unspoken body care.

- ear care if one of the most neglected and overlooked body care it is as important as your face routine. Each and every, part of your body needs attention and care 🫶, and my desi babies if you really want to slay those jhumkes you really need to take care of your ear. Anyways let's get started.

1. Cleaning : Clean your outer ear gently with a washcloth. Avoid inserting anything into your ear canal, such as cotton swabs or other objects, as this can push wax deeper or even cause damage.

2. Earwax Management : Let your ears naturally clean themselves. Earwax helps protect your ears from dust, dirt, and bacteria. Do not use eard buds DO. NOT. Baby girlies please don't it can cause problems in hearing and affect your eardrum.

If you have excessive earwax buildup that causes discomfort or affects your hearing, consult a doctor for safe removal.

3. Protection: Wear ear protection in noisy environments, such as concerts, construction sites, or when using loud equipment like lawnmowers or power tools. Earplugs or earmuffs can help prevent hearing damage.

4. Avoiding Water : Keep water out of your ears while bathing, swimming, or showering. Use earplugs or a shower cap to protect your ears, especially if you've had ear surgery or have a history of ear infections.

5. Electronic devices : use airpods, earphones or headphone max 3 hours not more than that and always keep the volume at the adequate level in order not to affect your ear and brain.

6. Regular Check-ups : Visit an audiologist or healthcare professional for regular ear check-ups, especially if you experience changes in hearing, ear pain, or other ear-related issues.

7. Healthy Lifestyle : Maintain a healthy lifestyle, as conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can impact your ear health. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and manage stress levels.

Taking these simple steps can help keep your ears healthy and functioning well. 🫶

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Although it has no true governing power, the Emperor of India butterfly certainly deserves its royal title! More commonly known as the Kaisar-i-Hind in Hindi and Urdu, this species is renowned for its bright green wings. This color comes from microscopic structures called photonic crystals, which scatters light to create a vibrant, iridescent color.

Rainbow Jumping Spider (Chrysilla volupe): these colorful spiders were regarded as an extinct species for nearly 150 years, until they were finally rediscovered in 2018

The males of this species have a stunning, almost rainbow-like appearance, thanks to the bands of color and iridescent scales that cover their bodies.

Despite the fact that Chrysilla volupe is probably the most flamboyant spider in the world, it was still lost to science for nearly 150 years. The species was first described in 1879, but there were no documented sightings of it for 139 years after that, until researchers finally tracked it down again in 2018. The female of this species was also described for the very first time in 2018 -- prior to that, Chrysilla volupe was known only from male specimens.

The spiders have been found in certain parts of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. Like most jumping spiders, they are quite small: the males can measure up to 5.44mm long (and that includes their outstretched legs), while the females are less than half that size.

Hands down one of my favourite details in Across the Spiderverse is the fact that when Parvitr refers to his aunt may he puts her name first.

the line is “…have chai with my Maya Auntie”

Maya Auntie not Aunt Maya

Maya Auntie

and can I tell you my heart screamed with joy

this this is how us south asians refer to our aunts and uncles related or non related

and I love that they actually adhered to that

✍🏼 Writing pride tag

📝 Post a snippet you are extra proud of having written

Thank you for tagging me @thegreatobsesso! I know this (what I've copypasted below) isn't your thing but it's my main WIP atm and it took me ages to remember that this part existed in the fic and I liked it... (I always like writing about Australia because I finally get to write what I know (which I don't think has happened in any of the fandoms I've been in so far))

Anyway.

Excerpt below is from a/b fic ch3 (and here is what this very self-indulgent fic is about)

For the place he’s spent the most time in, outside of England: “Australia, easily,” Anthony’s voice has dropped to a drowsy, musing murmur in the hours of soft conversation, and in deference to Benedict laying his head on his chest and feeling the vibrations through his cheek. “It’s… not a bad place, really, to spend a few months in while the ship restocks. The weather is either blistering and blustering hot or comfortably temperate depending on what season we make landfall, and the settlement at Warrane seemed to be doing better every time we were there. But the thing that I hated most about the place is how dry it is, dry like you would not believe, Benedict, I do not think the grass there has ever been properly green for a day in its life. Yet it was more than made up for in its pristine beaches and rocky coastline, in the spearfishing the Gadigal clan taught to us in exchange for iron and guns—and the animals, bounding through the bush and scrub and disappearing just as you thought to try and follow their path; they were by far the strangest I had ever seen…”

Tagging @vetteldixon, @effervescentdragon, @colettebronte, @smooth-boob, in case you wanna share any bits of writing you're proud of~ (and tagging @lucktofate just because :P)

i swear the most annoying thing is when i’m watching a freddie mercury documentary and it says he was bisexual like OMG HE WAS GAY. i don’t know why people try to make him bi when he wasn’t. (i’m bi don’t worry i’m not biphobic or anything) i just know he’s gay and it’s annoying that people deny that when he’s stated it sooooo many times

YES. Like literally according to everyone and MOSY IMPORTANTLY HIMSELF, YES ACTUALLY HE DID SAY IT, he was just gay. people love to be like “but Mary!!” and I’m just like WHY DIDN’T HE MARRY HER THEN. Like that is the entire reason they broke up. EVEN ACCORDING TO HER HE WAS JUST GAY LIKE WHAT. I hear “Freddie Mercury, bisexual—,” or even “with his ambiguous sexuality” like y’all, an ounce of research from a primary source PLEASE I beg

[drempen]

I had to improvise a little with his face, but overall I had a lot of fun with this one :)

When Russia went to war with Ukraine, there were dozens of takes on here about how Europe & America had "snubbed" Russia. Despite Germany shooting themselves in the foot by hooking their economy to Russian oil & gas, despite the high prestige Russian culture still enjoys among the western bourgeoisie, despite the "appease & profit" attitudes of European political, business & education leaders. Despite all that and more, you could find people saying Russia was constantly mistreated, humiliated and belittled by the western world, and was left with nothing but bad choices. I saw people on here argue that the EU should've made Russia a member in the 90s, that western powers should've done everything to preserve its social safety net, and encouraged friendship initiatives with its neighbors. The war in Ukraine was regrettable, yes, and many were against it. But ultimately, the onus of it fell on foreign powers essentially being filthy russophobes.

Now, American libs use the same logic to promote Kamala Harris. "You have to vote for us, or we'll genocide Palestine even harder. We don't want the guy who will genocide harder than this one to be in power. We want to have the one that keeps genocide at around the same level, and who could maybe be amenable to lower that level." And if you say that's irrational or disgusting or predatory blackmail, they turn around and say "Well, if you don't appease our empire, and you don't give us the appropriate level of respect and approval, and treat us as a reliable and trustworthy partner, of course this country will turn around and char the earth. Of course we will commit genocide, and ethnic cleansing, and bomb civilian buildings 24/7. Of course if we don't win on every trade deal and don't get to live better lives than the rest of the world and we don't get to racially segregate our country and export that segregation, we will cause a series of mounting international crises drawing us ever closer to nuclear war. Of course. That's obvious. Everyone is supposed to know that. Now get to appeasing us, and making us comfortable, and making us loved and beautiful. Or else you leave us with no choice."

And now the onus of this genocide is on Palestinians not being nice enough and Lebanon and Yemen not being nice enough and on the third world not being nice enough and college kids not being nice enough and on the international community not being nice enough and on Israel not being respectful enough of its western protectors and people on here will yell at you that you're not being nice enough to Kamala and that it's making things worse for everyone everywhere on earth and that the correct way for this crisis to be solved is people being nice to Kamala, which in turn will make Israel nicer and more respectful towards Kamala, which in turn will make the middle East nicer and more respectful towards Kamala, which in turn will make us all nicer and more respectful towards Kamala and solve all problems for all time.

So the only way out of this is to play nice 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 and nothing bad will ever happen again 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 and if everyone plays nice you'll eventually stop seeing the mangled corpses of children 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
