#i've had this dentist for years

[coquelicoq]

goddammit i think my dentist's office stopped taking my insurance sometime in the last six months. of course they did not tell me. i've already confirmed my appointment and it's within the next 24 hours anyway so now i probably have to either pay the cancellation fee (whatever it is, i can't tell from their website but i assume they have one) or pay out of pocket for a cleaning. i feel like it should not be on me to confirm that they still take my insurance before every appointment, i feel like they should let me know if they've dropped my plan and ask if i still want to come in. that does not seem unreasonable to me. but no now i'm probably out hundreds of dollars for no reason.

speaking of history myths, "fireplace fenders were developed because women's skirts catching on fire was the third-leading cause of death for women and they were trying to prevent that" was a new one I heard at work today

not the Skirts Catching Fire thing; that statistic is batted around a lot. usually they say it was just the most common, so maybe whoever this person was trying to make it sound more believable

(protip: disease was the most common for centuries, followed by other notables like cancer, heart failure, childbirth, accidents, etc.)

but the fender aspect is new. fenders- a very low metal "bumper" of sorts around the fireplace area -just existed to keep logs or coals from rolling out onto flammable flooring/carpeting, the same as the stone floor section around the hearth. nothing about women's skirts involved

I swear people just want to believe that clothing-related deaths were insanely common for women because their outfits look so foreign to us nowadays that we need more fuel for our own "fire" of superiority

My fucking dentist today almost made me choke on my laughter.

So, I had to get a filling and he was having trouble with the rubber dental dam so he had the hygienist also doing shit and he just fucking says, "you know what we're doing right now? We're seeing how many fingers we can fit in your mouth."

Then, not even a minute later, he says, mostly to himself, "I'm not saying you have a big mouth, but it's more than you'd think. I'd know. I have experience. We can fit at least four hands in here. Don't worry."

[risingsunresistance]

feels weird to not have much to post, i feel like i basically disappeared off social media compared to how i used to post but. there is simultaneously so much going on (things that are boring/heavy and not fun to post about) and nothing at all going on (i have not been able to play anything very much and havent been watching anything besides random documentaries i stumble across), leading to me having nothing to say lmao

i did finally write down a bunch of hypixel worldbuilding headcanon junk instead of having it only be word-of-mouth between me and ark lol. only 1700 words, i can do better 👍 it was literally only about admin magic, what exactly it means to "hack," what a server is, and limbo kjgfhk. i might make a big post about the limbo section one day :]

There's something wrong with me. Every time I get sick with an unfamiliar symptom, I think I'm dying. I have to google my symptoms to calm myself down.
