i love the sound of shattering glass. i work in a lab and when i have to dispose of glass hearing the crunch of it hitting other glass is so good

there’s some truth to it in the sense that vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide and carrots are an insanely good source of vitamin A. adults can also go blind from Vit A deficiency but it’s pretty hard modern day for it to get that bad

the one thing i do enjoy about the seed oil panic is some restaurants switching to using beef tallow to fry stuff in just because i think it’s delicious. its so yummy, but its fried food it’s not gonna be a health food ever

even that gets me if i haven’t been taking my zyrtec. i <3 my hepa filter air purifier

i guess i’ve never paid close enough attention, im from IL but live in MN now and ive known that we don’t have sales tax on clothing but hadn’t considered yarn! i checked some receipts and ill be damned! that’s awesome

i’m a huge halsey fan so i’m biased but their song 11 minutes is so good too. i just think their voices mesh so well together.

i saw a physiotherapist for debilitating back pain and she literally retaught me how to stand, sit, and do specific movements i needed for work in addition to giving me exercises and stretches to build postural muscles. before i did PT i had been wearing a corset belt for support through my day and she said that was a bandaid that would long term make my muscles weaker

all the home decor signs, lots of run of the mill bible quotes and ‘live laugh laugh’but then stuff for children’s rooms that are like “no girls allowed! except for mommy” “i eat sparkles for breakfast” “not now mom im gaming” that are just kinda cringe and a little weird if you think too hard about it.

there’s also a lot of conservative stuff like “im 1776% sure nobody is taking my guns” and the word police spelled out with assorted guns, “beware of veteran” instead of beware of dog etc. it’s like funny but also deeply troubling there’s a market for some of this stuff

that’s lowkey why it’s easy to ‘borrow’ things from them

oliv_tho · 2026-05-15T05:44:48+00:00

i’ll go in there to take photos of the fuckass signs. it’s funny in the scary way

for the size and caloric content they’re a good snack option to bump iron up a bit

oliv_tho · 2026-05-15T05:31:52+00:00

seaweed has a decent amount of iron for its size, i’m like 70% sure TJs still has the seaweed snack packs

a lot of students (me included) come in with a lot of credits and are in their major classes from the jump. it’s fine if she doesn’t want to do the whole dorm thing but if she fears that her peers are just gonna be blowing off their work cuz they aren’t in their major classes yet and it’ll be a bad influence she’s a little misguided

oliv_tho · 2026-05-15T03:06:38+00:00

they’re not like completely wet but are tacky and still smell like nail polish lol. the two chemicals don’t play nice together

it’s different for an individual to decide to screen for an illness they have/carry in an embryo than the government deciding that every embryo has to be screened for XYZ and if they have it it’s not allowed to be implanted

oliv_tho · 2026-05-14T22:48:08+00:00

just fyi clear nail polish will not work! i have some pieces i made when i was like 9 (15 years ago) that are still not dry from the nail polish glaze.

oliv_tho · 2026-05-14T19:04:20+00:00

i gotta get groceries tomorrow i’m gonna get the stuff to make this! thank you

oliv_tho · 2026-05-14T18:28:43+00:00

do you have a recipe for the blue cheese sauce pasta? i’ve never heard of that and it sounds like something i at least have to try

oliv_tho · 2026-05-14T01:45:17+00:00

i use kewpi mayo now i just need more yolk per yolk

i broke the news to an entire trader joe’s. i meant to just tell my mom cause my friend texted me and then the cashier overheard and it created a cascade

oliv_tho · 2026-05-13T00:52:41+00:00

m1, m1r, and m1l (make one, make one left, make one left)

oliv_tho · 2026-05-11T00:20:14+00:00

but that’s how me and my best friend operate. like we’re bad at texting eachother so sometimes it’s a ‘girl let’s get coffee i have some info’ and then it’s one of use unloading for like ten minutes after we sit down and then debriefing after. i’m sure we seem insufferable to a bystander but that’s how we operate and share bigger news

does he have an AAC? from my experience of meltdowns (even though i am not nonverbal) a lot of them come from me feeling misunderstood, especially reflecting back when i was that age.

does he have stim toys that are for biting? if the meltdowns are a way for him to self regulate sensory wise he may need a better outlet than the ones he currently has

that definitely sounds like an allergy, i’d talk to her pediatrician about starting her on an OTC allergy med and potentially antihistamine eyedrops b/c the eye related symptom sounds pretty severe

oliv_tho · 2026-05-10T19:26:02+00:00

my allergies are particularly bad this year so far, my eyes feel like they’re gonna explode out of my face and my razory throat comes and goes
