pro tip: dont eat mastic gum and then take velvet bean on an empty stomach
#text#ow ow ow ouch yeough#chronic illness#uh on the positive the mastic gum cleared up my chronic sore throat overnight YAAYYYYY fuck strep!!!#-> has had chronic strep my whole life bc of hormonal issues#anyway did u know PCOS changes the gut microbiome and causes overgrowth of strep#and thats also why pcos is linked to diabetes/weight gain#its the microbes#so ive got the vitamins handled to hopefully support/correct endocrine function#but it takes longer to change the microbiome. it needs some help#and the probiotics are finally making *some* headway in establishing healthy microbe populations#but i still got too much staph and strep#so. mastic gum does seem to be all its cracked up to be! hopefully it really does downregulate IL6 too

Been rereading sunshine court and I want to know what the fuck is going on with Jeremy and his family. how did he destroy the family. What does "end the way you started" mean. Why does he argue with his older brother and what the actual fuck is up between him and the stepfather and him and the step grandfather. WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT FALL BANQUET. also was there a fifth knox sibling that died somehow? really hoping we learn more about Jeremy's family and his whole thing in the second book because I'm dying to know. I'm very intrigued. Given how much he seems to hate his stepfather and his stepgrandfather I think maybe the fall banquet has something to do with either the end of his parent's marriage or maybe it's something specifically that Jeremy did? With how his sister said "end the same way you began" it seems like she means his freshman year banquet, and I wonder what could've happened with him just starting out at USC unless it had something to do with his family? Idk but I also suspect that his family (maybe just certain family members) has an issue with Jeremy being gay mostly based on a whisper of subtext and lots of conjecture. anyways lots to think about until tsc2 and boy will I be thinking about it
#i am a scientist studying my most intereating microbe under a microscope#jeremy has layers which i would like to peel#because he clearly has baggage like the rest of noras characters#almost forgot!! jeremys dad is military#hate to pull out old reliable but i think his mom couldve been having an affair which was exposed at said banquet#old reliable because its a trope that miltiary wives cheat when their husbands are deployed#actually almost forgot about his dad because hes mentioned once#tsc#the sunshine court#jeremy knox#i feel like that watcher meme

You know that feeling where you have ideas. So many ideas. Too many ideas. And they all would take way too much time that you don't have if you actually wanted to execute them. So you just sit there giving yourself a headache because you cant decide where to start? Love that feeling. And by love, I mean I want to take my brain out of my skull and wring it like a wet sponge.
#and so i sit here making myself mad. today the plant ppl have my ire#which isnt fair bc plants r unappreciated but also like ur study organism couldnt exist as it is without fungi and bacteria. which are WAY#more underappreciated. which isnt the plant ppls fault but also i watched like 10 plant photosynthesis videos yesterday#and not a single one mentioned that plants do photosynthesis bc they consumed a cyanobacteria. they always go: and some bacteria can also do#photosynthesis! and thats it. and im like ??? endosymbiosis is so cool? y would u not mention it??? like plants didnt develop a way to do#photosynthesis. they just captured a photosynthetic organism. the plant bias in photosynthesis is so huge and it makes me irrationally#defensive. its like theyre stealing photosynthesis glory XD they've got photosynthesis clout but only bc they stole it lmao#idk its funny that it makes me so frustrated but it's sorta baffling to me how plant focused plant ppl r when plants rely so much on#bacteria and fungi. i mean i guess thr same could b said for animals. especially those with robust endosymbionts. idk i guess its just bc im#and ecologist and microbe person im baffled when ppl think about organism as one thing rather than a system of things#anyway. im mad bc i have things that i want to write and read and draw plus the things i have to do for school. and im doing none of#those things and its bullshit#unrelated

#dailykugisaki#jjk#kugisaki nobara#kasumi miwa#miwa is a sad little puddle that fascinates me#why are you like that girl#Kugisaki stares at her its like looking at cocomelon sometimes i giggle#the kyoto n Tokyo students deserve to just run around together sometimes thats my gripe#this is for oomfs and mutual Kugisaki enthusiasts but do yall think about the fact Kugisaki probably had to kill a curse that looked lik her#y'know because the entire town hated her#im thinking ahout that#back to miwa and Kugisaki they are so strange they are so funny#miwa gained another friend that thinks of her like a microbe lovingly#i fucked her hand ip#whatever my ass#the frown that appeared on my face so quickly is fucking astonishing

The Permian Basin Superorganism waking up after a lil nap and finding out all the shit Anodyne left inside its guts:
#they stole its pussy juices :( (amniotic springs)#mystery flesh pit#permian basin superorganism#mystery flesh pit national park#arg#now tbh i don't think it'd actually care given its size and the fact we'll probably be long dead as a species when it'd happen#but still THEY PUT A TUBE DOWN ITS BLADDER WTF 😭😭#bro is gonna catch tetanos bc of all that rusting metal inside it#can i just say im surprised there never was a mention of new diseases/viruses/bacteria ensuing the discovery of the flesh pit?#like i get that its parasites are huge to us and we're basically microbes to it but#CAN YOU IMAGINE ALL THE ACTUAL BACTERIA IN THAT SHITTT#like EW

i need to take my own advice and get off the subreddits for media i enjoy
#i probably wont. because the Horrible Fixations rule my life#also its kind of interesting bc reddit has a lot more normies than tumblr. for lack of a better term lmfao#like r/hxh has such a radically different vibe from any other hxh space ive peeked into. its like watching microbes in a petri dish#heliichats

#being back in the lab is giving me whiplash#bc i like seeing all the ppl again. i like seeing my cultures again. but in the one class im taking im worried for the amount of reading#and discussing ill have to do. its going to b very obvious when im struggling to understand what im reading#and thats in addition to the reading ill have to do specific to my project. and my dad's like: ur mental health comes 1st. if it's too much#then step away but if i did that i really would be cutting the cord between myself and ever finishing in this program. ugh. how am i already#more tired than when i was getting up at 3 am and spending 8hrs on my feet?#and this morning. after 3 months of applications i finally have an interview for a government job.#so im like here going thru the motions of being a grad student but im still holding on to my way out#rn my ideal would be that i actually get this job im interviewing for bc it involves growing microbes for agricultural research and i want#to stay a microbiologist. but i would have enough time to finish out the semester before moving across the country yet again.#bc i dont wanna just leave bc i teach 2 lab sections but i dont think i wanna do this anymore#but hey it's only day 2. ive got plenty of time to change my mind#it just sucks and im tired#unrelated
