Viscount. You may not be aware of what my job entails as the royal head of security. My job is to protect the crown, to make sure no harm comes to the crown. To step in when someone toys with the crown's emotions, you see.

I like the expression new-fangled. I don't know what it means for something to be fangled, but I sure as hell know it was recent
It’s from the Old English word feng, which can mean “to take”, or also “to grasp, hold, or embrace”. So something that’s newfangled is something that was taken up recently.
The reason it’s using this pretty archaic root is that it’s an older word than a lot of people think. Here it is in the Canterbury Tales.

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.
I've seen very different approaches towards the MSQ from WoLs of all kinds out there, so I'm curious.
(As for all polls, reblog for bigger sample size please)
Holy shit.
Researchers at the University of Chicago have been able to create an ‘inverse vaccine’ that can remove the immune systems memory of specific molecules.
Reading that, sounds like a horrendous bio weapon in the making. But the plan is for it to be used to treat autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type one diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
This was already proven to be able to prevent autoimmunity but the new work shows it can be used to treat ongoing autoimmune issues.
There are already human tests with something similar for celiac disease.
YES, I'm already signed up for trials. I would give nearly anything to no longer have celiac.
Fingers crossed for you💙

reblog for good luck!!
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.
then they started fighting Covid precautions.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.
now my parents think climate change is a myth.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.
then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.
now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.
you can guess who they voted for.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.
when did they forget?
Time to bring this back. Again.
Apparently this is evergreen. Dammit.
I remember adults telling me, as a kid that girls can be equal to boys in all fields including athletics. Now, they consider girls to be delicate flowers who could never hope to compete against boys.
Oh I’m an asshole.
So today pulling into Stop and Shop, this lady cut me off and nearly drove into me, and then, when I tried to pass her, she swung to the right and nearly hit me again, and then flipped me off.
So somebody is having a bad day and taking it out on me. That’s fine. It’s harmless, and I don’t know what’s going on in this woman’s life. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt she’s not just a piece of shit and is just having a bad day.
But then I park and she follows me, and gets out of the car and starts swearing at me and getting in my face.
Now I go from “indifferent” to “I’m gonna fuck with this woman’s head.” Now I would say I’m a gentleman of size, and in all black and bemohawked I probably look spookier than I actually am, so props to this lady for getting in my face. Now of course I’m not going to hit her, or even threaten violence. That’s shitty. Nobody should get threatened with violence.
Instead, I take a step back, narrowing my eyes like I’m studying her face really closely, and then I touch one of the several piece of “occulty” jewelry I’m wearing (none of which, by the way, are magicked in any way at all). Then I mumble some nonsense under my breath, and then make the fig gesture and the horns at her.
She stops, wide-eyed.
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?”
I chuckled, and shake my head. “Nothing at all.” I say in a not-terrible convincing voice. “But every time something bad happens to you today, you’re gonna be thinking of me.”
Then I winked at her, and walked away.
It doesn’t end there:

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #51 Night In
Interesting placement of Dick here, completely in the center of the group, like a vital organ of some sort. A heart maybe? Dick Grayson is the heart of the BatFam, the heart of the Titans, and the heart of DC Comics as a whole.
I’m starting to realize my love for Dick Grayson may have something to do with me not only being the older brother in my nuclear family, but also in every friend group I’ve had for the last decade. I think more than anything else, that’s why I relate to Dick so much. Being the older brother is fundamental to who he is as a person and hero. The whole “I’m going to be a safety net for anyone who needs it” is the most eldest sibling thing imaginable.

Perfectly explains why Batman needs a Robin.
This is pretty much the greatest.
am I misreading (sorry very tired) or did the chiropractor cause the injury? oh no I have my first chiropractor appointment in a week for my chronic neck pain/hypermobile neck D: is this a sign to cancel it?
Hypermobile neck.
D: Nonononononononono!!! No don’t let them touch you!
Back in 2018 before we knew I had Ehlers Danlos, a chiropractor gently (I cannot stress this enough. He was so, so gentle with me and I still suffered a major, life threatening injury) adjusted my neck, tore all the surrounding soft tissue and I had to get an emergency MRI because I was at risk of a brain bleed.
Fortunately none of the arteries in my neck were impacted but the surrounding soft tissue and nerves were so badly damaged I’m still in rehab. It’s never going to fully heal, but I’m very lucky to be alive.
Honestly, no one should let chiropractors near their neck but especially not people with hypermobility. I cannot stress this enough, do not do it. Please.
I know it might be hard to get (I know my insurance only covered chiropractic care at the time and that’s how I ended up worse off🫠) but you’d be much better off pursuing long term relief through physical therapy intended to help stabilize and strengthen the area. Chiropractic care will not do this. It actively destabilizes the neck and doesn’t offer long term stability.
Please take care and be careful with your neck. It’s been 6 years and I still sometimes can’t hold my head up without getting shooting pain and vertigo.
