#meekness is toxic to yourself and those around you

The movie "Clue" takes place in a manse called "Hill House" in an unnamed New England town in 1954. The events of the novel "The Haunting of Hill House" take place in 1959 at the earliest. I posit this is the same house, and the murders in "Clue" are not mentioned in Shirley Jackson's in-book litany of deaths due to the canonical involvement of the FBI. In this essay I will

I cannot put into words how much I need book 4 of the tarot sequence.

When I was in the hospital, they gave me a big bracelet that said ALLERGY, but like. I'm allergic to bees. Were they going to prescribe me bees in there.

So there's a medication called hyaluronidase. It's used to make other medications absorb better, because it makes the cell wall more permeable.

One common usage is to make local anesthetic more effective during surgery, for instance. It's used in a number of injected medications.

Bee stings contain an enzyme very similar to this medication, so sometimes, people with bee allergies have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

This is called cross-reactivity, where your body mistakes something for the thing it's actually allergic to, and has an allergic reaction anyway. For instance, sometimes people with latex allergies also are allergic to bananas and other fruits. They don't actually contain latex, but there are some similar proteins.

Apparently, hyraluronidase used in humans is derived from one of four sources: sheep testicles, cow testicles, cow testicles again, and GMO hamster ovaries.

tl;dr: They won't inject you with bees, but they might inject you with purified cow testicle juice, and your body might say 'eh, cow balls are BASICALLY bees' and try to kill you anyway.

Obsessed with this kitchen renovation where they found a 300 year old well under their kitchen and instead of filling it all in they made it a feature, like it's SO cool this well was so important and then forgotten and now being celebrated as part of the history of this house I love it

The exact inverse of those house flippers who destroy original wood features and make everything soulless hospital white

I'm not a psychology researcher, but my guess would be that the nature of it being a time-limited puzzle game where you have to juggle multiple factors means that your short-term memory gets filled and the traumatic images are "dumped" in favor of remembering how many times to rotate the L piece. "As soon as possible" is probably because the sooner you do it, the less likely it is to become part of your long-term memory.

If that is true, then other time-limited activities where you have to remember and plan in a tight time frame may serve a similar purpose.

This can have an effect hours after the traumatic event happens too! All participants were treated within about 6 hours and played for a total of 20 minutes of Tetris (with at least one play time of 10 minutes straight).
