Crazy wild shit man

[lookninjas]

So I've been digging into some of the Electric Callboy lore, because I do that with the stuff that I love, and I keep finding the wildest shit and it keeps always being about the drummer, David.

(Fun fact: he wound up getting the final rose on The Bachelorette in 2017!

Which makes sense, because he is exceptionally funny, and also very talented, and also crazy good-looking:

But also from what little I know of USA Bachelorette it traditionally revolves around fairly bland dudes so it also doesn't make sense from that angle.)

But the absolute wildest thing thus far is this:

In 2022, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, David basically went: "Well, my family has a house in Poland. I guess some people could stay there." And then he started a Go Fund Me, notified the band he was taking off, got in his car and drove to the Polish-Ukrainian border. The band talks about it in this video (which was originally supposed to be about their decision to change the band's name). But yeah. All kinds of crazy things going on with the band and in his life. He could've just written a check. Donated supplies. And, I mean, he did that too. But also he just up and went. Drove right out there.

IDK, I just feel like sometimes it's a lot of bad news and a lot of news about bad people doing bad things. So sometimes it's important to remember that during dark times, there will always be people who will just up and do the heroic thing. Without thinking about it, or questioning at all. Just -- "Well, I guess I'll go house some refugees then." And do it without thinking.

(And also sometimes that person is the reality tv star drummer of that band who are in the process of changing their mildly offensive name, so maybe we judge people by their actions and not our assumptions.)

But those are your interesting facts for the day about David Friedrich. Here he is playing the piano.

aughhhhhhhh i love MEN

[warm-mangoes-with-chai]

Okay so what bothers me the most is three things:

How the hell did this man go from the bottom of the Japan Trench to main crew?!?!?

Like am i missing something? Bc the last time I checked it was in kenny's hands in Shibuya- and I know neither noritoshi nor tsukomo managed to snatch it back. I know i haven't been going that closely these past few arcs but i feel like i would've noticed if they retrieved it??? I just hate that this happened off screen 😑

They've been fighting for a month (3 YEARS) and it only took 3 minutes to unseal him?!?

Where's the pizzazz, the drama? At least we should've got a cool explanation on how Angel's technique works, man idk. All that buildup for nothing, it's so lackluster 😒

(plus there was an earthquake caused by him teleporting right? Did he do it in the split second he breathed fresh air so we couldn't see him?? 😵‍💫)

He was locked away in a space with no concept of time, completely isolated and surrounded by cursed energy- and he came back normal? 🙁

Boooo- i wanted him to be feral or a little cursed himself like give us something- I want to see visible signs of the toll it took on him. Though maybe his true state will make itself evident later.

( bro wasn't even disorientated when he traveled xxx kilometers in 5 seconds like where's the lag, the fatigue- his energy wasn't sapped from his time in prison realm? He could just bounce up n get moving?!?! Make it make sense like give me SOMETHING PLEASE)

I understand why he's maintaining his composure with kenjaku- man thought about his ex for 30 seconds and was locked away with swiftness- but towards megumi? His younger brother-more-than-son but still someone he mentored and spent a lot of time with.

It's implied that sorcerers/ curses can probably see the extra eyes or mouth of Sukuna but the marks are likey only distinguishable for us readers. So Gojo must've sensed Sukuna's rank vibes immediately and went on the offensive.

... Hmmm 🤔 since he didn't even want to engage with him yet i suppose he's just being cautious. Maybe he's already accepted that Megumi may be collateral to the bigger picture... though that's so cold though 😥

I'm still holding out hope that he's just compartmentalizing very well and we'll see the cracks of his true mental state soon 🤞🏿

He's the strongest for a reason but even he has a breaking point.

Trimax hair won in a massive landslide. Honestly, I’m just surprised by how many ppl actually voted. Anyways without further ado, here’s the set result!

I love him =3

[greencarnation]

So yk how Taika, Rhys and Con are Zionists? I think we all know by now. (People supporting them anyway I fucking see you)

It gets worse. Remember how they killed Ivan off screen and kinda just erased him? Turns out it's because they fired the actor, Guz Khan, over his support of Palestine last year. Last year. None of this is new, but I'm glad we're finally waking up to it

Some men’s romantic fantasies are like “what if we went on vacation together?” or “what if we bought a house together?” and I’m like “what if they put us in the same enclosure?”

I’m so curious on how Jungkook’s talk with Jihyo went🤣 how did she react? She must have been so happy thinking he was going to talk to her to then be told to leave Oc alone 😅

jk: leave my girl alone 😐

For the most part, my approach to prescribing hormones is “sure,” but I will note that the one thing I lean HARD on patients about is smoking. If you’re transgender, and you’re on hormones, the number one thing we want to protect is your cardiovascular health. That’s frankly the number one thing I want to protect in all my patients, but anyone taking exogenous hormones is at higher baseline risk. And the best thing you can do for your heart is DON’T SMOKE. It’s a bitch to quit, and I didn’t even smoke much or long before I quit in my late teens, and I STILL didn’t enjoy quitting and had smoking dreams for years. It’s harder to quit than just about anything else up to and including crack and heroin, and that’s coming from a patient of mine who recently passed in her early 60s who’d done all of those things—for years and years—but eventually was able to quit everything except smoking. And that killed her. She developed severe COPD and eventually called to say her blood oxygen saturation was dipping into the 70s, which is incompatible with life. She was lucid enough to decline medical care, including refusing to call 911 or go to the ER. A week later, after both I and one of our outreach nurses had contacted her to ask her to please go to the ER, I got a notification that she’d been found dead. She had been so frustrated that she wasn’t a candidate for a lung transplant.

One of my oldest trans patients is in her late 50s. She’s had blood clots that went to the lungs. Repeatedly. Smoking raises that risk. Estrogen raises that risk. She’s a veteran with PTSD; of course she smoked.

These aren’t theoretical. These are humans I’ve cared for over years of their lives. I have been rooting for them—my beloved former addict, who spoke without shame about her years of homelessness and drug use in the city; my queer elders, who are slowly trading in their motorcycles for power scooters. I want everyone to live their fullest, best life.

Smoking doesn’t fit into that. Please don’t smoke. I don’t want you to die like that—not now and not later. I want you to have the future that you may not be able to see yet, but exists.

Since I moved home as an out queer, word got out, and there’s a whole apartment complex of lesbians in their 60s to their 80s who come see me—sitting next to their wives in the office, nagging about blood pressure meds, tattling about not having gotten the shingles shot they said they would. To be clear, when I was growing up in town, I knew no lesbians. Not one. I knew one gay kid in my class, which eventually turned into two. We were it. To see these women living decades with their wives and being able to squabble like any couple in my office over who was supposed to bring their home blood pressure cuff in for us to check it… it means the world to me.

Last week my most beloved colleague said to me "it continues to surprise me how much empathy for higher mammals you carry within you" and i still haven't recovered from that

actually it really sucks that my sole living grandmother and, apparently, my father, are BOTH experiencing memory loss, and potentially the early stages of dementia, at the SAME TIME! wow! a bogo!

that old newspaper was right—life isn't just one thing after another. the damn things overlap.
