Don’t use a gas oven to heat your home or run your car in the garage

Carbon monoxide kills you so quick. Please all do not do this.

Drip both hot and cold on all faucets + open the cupboards that house the pipes because if you don’t your pipes will burst and you’ll have massive flooding.

Okay, I’m calling bullshit on both the film and the comic versions of Marvel civilians’ general reaction to Venom being: ‘oh no a monster D:’ It’s just too unrealistic even for the standard level of Marvel civilian foolishness. They are living in a world where demons, mutants, aliens, A.I., and living breathing gods are their fellow pedestrians and you’re telling me they’re going to look at this

and this

and this

and this

like he’s not the man-assed musclebeast mascot of San Francisco? 

Like he’s not constantly getting phone numbers scrawled on bar napkins plastered to his buff Silly Putty biceps?? 

Like seven out of ten ‘victims’ he rescues in a week aren’t the same handful of fans who purposely walk down dark alleys with boxes of Godiva on hand??? 

Like he’s never been stopped by the world’s most steel-balled paparazzi on the street and broke the city’s heart by stating, “What? No, of course I’m not single,” before immediately mending that heart by following with, “But if my Other is cool with it we’re down for a threesome,”????

Impossible. This is the Age of the Monsterfucker and I refuse to believe such hearsay

A nurse has heart attack and describes what she felt like when having one

I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I have ever heard. 

 FEMALE HEART ATTACKS 

 I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is description is so incredibly visceral that I feel like I have an entire new understanding of what it feels like to be living the symptoms on the inside. Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have… you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor the we see in movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with a heart attack: 

 "I had a heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, ‘A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up. A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you’ve been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you’ve swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn’t have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation–the only trouble was that I hadn’t taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m. 

After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. ‘AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening – we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven’t we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I’m having a heart attack! I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn’t be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else… but, on the other hand, if I don’t, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment. 

I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics… I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn’t feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in. I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don’t remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like ‘Have you taken any medications?’) but I couldn’t make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery. 

I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand. 

1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body, not the usual men’s symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn’t know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they’ll feel better in the morning when they wake up… which doesn’t happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you’ve not felt before. It is better to have a ‘false alarm’ visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be! 2. Note that I said ‘Call the Paramedics.’ And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road. Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what’s happening with you instead of the road. Do NOT call your doctor – he doesn’t know where you live and if it’s at night you won’t reach him anyway, and if it’s daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn’t carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later. 3. Don’t assume it couldn’t be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it’s unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive to tell the tale.“

Reblog, repost, Facebook, tweet, pin, email, morse code, fucking carrier pigeon this to save a life! I wish I knew who the author was. I’m definitely not the OP, actually think it might be an old chain email or even letter from back in the day. The version I saw floating around Facebook ended with “my cardiologist says mail this to 10 friends, maybe you’ll save one!” And knew this was way too interesting not to pass on.

I love that in the ten years I've been on tumblr, tumblr users' attitude towards tumblr has come full circle, now we're back where we started at "tumblr is our beloved home, no other social media can compare, no other website has what we have, do not trust other websites, do not tell the outsiders about us", only this time we're like. Really exhausted and with a sense of irony about it.

Bless Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan for this, because I am LIVID:

Marvel and the Russo's were completely prepared to assassinate Steve's character development and the importance of his relationship with Bucky, to have him leave Bucky behind with no hesitation after fighting to get him back for 3 moves, and to have all their important goodbye conversations happen offscreen while Steve's onscreen goodbye to Bucky was emotionless and dismissive.

They didn't tell Sebastian Stan that he wasn't getting the shield, a completely life and career altering opportunity that he was a serious contender for, until literally 40 minutes before the scene happened, giving him no time to process a huge disappointment and lost opportunity which likely didn't feel great - even if we know he's extremely happy for and supportive of Mackie.

They didn't give Seb a script until just before the scene giving him no time to think about his performance or how Bucky would feel losing Steve for the final time, in arguably one of the most important scenes in the history of their relationship.

They ignored and dismissed his protests about how much there was left to say between Bucky and Steve and how dissatisfying their ending was, telling him they talked offscreen and not to worry.

And now we learn that they were prepared to completely exclude Bucky/Seb from Steve's final scene, to have him not even notice or acknowledge Old Steve, his oldest and only fucking friend in the world!

They were prepared to have Steve and Sam not even acknowledge Bucky's existence, and for him to just fade out quietly. They were prepared to have Sam not question whether Bucky may be a contender for the shield as if he didn't exist and was never important to Steve. They were prepared for Seb not to be involved at all in the handing over of the Cap legacy and the start of a new phase at Marvel, after 10 fucking years of being a linchpin of Captain America movies.

Anthony and Seb had to come up with and fight for a way to incorporate Bucky into this final scene and the handing over of the Cap legacy, because Marvel were not prepared to.

So stan Seb for, despite the way he is constantly treated at Marvel, fighting his corner for the sake of Bucky and the fans because that's what he truly cares about.

And stan Mackie for being a excellent friend and a consummate professional, for giving up part of his big moment to make sure Seb was included and for recognising Bucky's importance to Steve and the shield.

Stan them both for having actual respect for their characters, the storyline and the fans, unlike Marvel.
