another year has come and gone and I’m still obsessed with supercorp

Supercorp Fic Recs

for the anon who asked me for fic recs—

first let me shamelessly self promote a fic a very dear friend of mine wrote, whom I collaborated with to format into an actual CatCo magazine. (that I totally printed out and got Katie to sign)

Her Brother's Keeper by ProfessorSpork

A CatCo Magazine exclusive by Kara Danvers Photos by James Olsen

Chapters:  3/3  Words:  7,910

(artwork is chapter 3)

I don't get why this is horrifying other than it being a mass shooting?

Is it that they used up so much ink to make a point?

Read closer, each of those lines is a different incident

Oh fuck.

Also, that's the last Sunday in May. Memorial Day Weekend.

When it’s 1 am but you just found the greatest fanfic with an amazing plot with 20+ chapters and 100,000 words

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

meet me after the show

“Do you… want a photo? Or…”

Now it’s Lena’s turn to be confused.

“A photo of what?”

It’s a simple question, but something about it seems to let the tension out of the blonde’s shoulders. The confusion vanishes, replaced with a sort of relief and intrigue Lena can’t explain.

“Nothing, sorry.”

May your path cross with those who deserve your love

moving away from your small shitty hometown is just. I hate this place. my best memories were formed here. my worst memories were formed here. I miss the familiarity of it all. the idea of going back makes me feel ill. I miss this specific meal I can get in my hometown. I have been exposed to so much more now that I'm gone. everyone I ever knew was here. the only people I would want to see are the ones who got out. the streets and landmarks are etched into my subconscious. I feel like a stranger when I go back. I refuse to ever live there again. it will always live inside me.
