mental illness is such an adventure bc today on the phone with my dad I said the words “I’m actually pretty grateful for this staph infection, really takes my mind of the rest” and neither of us questioned it for one second

Potential Pathogen
These yellow spheres are Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on the surface of a human immune cell (blue). They are found in, and on, about a third of the human population and are generally harmless except, that is, for when they’re not. S. aureus can cause severe and potentially fatal infections of the skin, soft tissues, bone and blood, and especially dangerous are the drug-resistant strains – so called, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The bacteria were thought to mainly inhabit the skin and nose, but recent research shows they are most abundant in the gut. This discovery led researchers to test whether probiotics – oral doses of friendly bacteria – could suppress S. aureus colonisation. And they could – by around ninety-five percent. Probiotics work more slowly than traditional antibiotics for tackling infections, but they can be taken for much longer without harm, and will likely be able to tackle MRSA strains when regular drugs cannot.

In Ruyak's old community, did they have any superstitions?
There's a blurry line between superstition and good practice. For example, Kanai don't have much knowledge of insect varieties or their purposes, but they're very aware that trees and plants can suffer from blights under certain management practices, and that having a variety of flowering/fruiting plants makes for a healthier forest. They don't know what pollinators are, which insects make honey, which insects decompose wood and detritus, or which insects bite. But they do know that certain plants attract insects for some reason, and others repel them, and that harvests are better when insect activity is at a certain balance.
So I'd say that given that, they have MANY superstitions, but they tend to be rooted in experience. It might seem silly for Kanai to have rules about not treading on the north side of a fen grove in spring (killing insect larva), not getting one's feet dusty in fall (fungi spores), or not eating carnivores without cooking them (parasites), but it all makes sense if you think about it.

I am so fucking frustrated right nowwwww
I got the house! I should be packing to move! But after I cleaned out some NASTY storage buildings in the backyard last week, I wound up getting such a bad staph infection (on my arm near the armpit it sucked) that it needed a doctor's visit and a round of antibiotics.
I'm nearing the end of my antibiotic course now, and was looking forward to being able to move around and do things normally, except that I now have ANOTHER patch of staph infection on my leg!! Smack dab front and center on my thigh, and as I already learned from the first one, I can't bandage it or else the center of the infection will start to expand in the damp environment!!! Genuinely wtf, universe!!

the 1 thing i actually feel kinda BAD being a pretentious dick about is tattoos... like the quality of work and the health/safety of it ... my friends will get scratchers and f13 flash from random shops and theyre happy with them so id never say anything but they are god awful. and i know i sound like miss moneybags acting like several hundred dollar tats from trusted artists are the only way to go but the difference is so staggering and lifelong i will not budge on this

nolly jumping right into "so knyzhov says you're his best friend :)" in his pat sieloff interview and sieloff trying to dodge the accusations the entire interview while saying five hundred times how important communication is and how he's trying to building a strong d corps through making sure everyone is on the same page and how important it is for the young guys to adapt and stay confident and how it's his job as a vet to help them....
and then sounding panicked when nolly said "you sound like a coach :) have you thought about coaching :)". no. he wants to go into construction like his parents!! nolly: "🤔"
absolutely iconic psy-op/psychological torture by nick nollenberger. nolly you are MY hero and MY best friend
