It Must Suck To Do An Assassinate And Have Everyone Cheering You On And Hyping You Up Cuz You Can’t

i am fixated on this peanuts scene in particular. its so unsettling and dreamlike. lynchian in nature, down to the fucking sound design

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!

He's never happy

Dick enters the Cave and hears Dami's horrified screaming. He blinks and sees Tim at the Batcomputer, huddled over a Zesti looking like a supervillain.

Dick: "What are you doing to Damian?"

Tim: "Training."

Dami: [AGONIZED SCREAMING FROM A DISTANCE]

Dick, mildly: "Elaborate."

Tim: "He said no one could beat him with a sword. I bet him ten bucks I could program someone to beat him in the Holodeck."

Dick: "Right, and?"

"See for yourself." Tim switches the screen of the Batcomputer back on to the holodeck's cameras. Damian is impaled on a giant sword. The simulation resets.

A woman's voice comes out of the speakers. "I am Malenia, blade of Miquella..."

Dick: "...You didn't."

Tim, grinning like a loon: "Oh, but I did."

Dick: "How many times has he died so far?"

Tim: "34. He almost gave up at 15, but I told him some guy I know managed to beat her naked with a jar on his head."

Dick, sitting down to watch: "You're a monster."

Tim: "It's what he deserves for telling me video games are for losers."

Very nice comic :)

Although at first I thought it was a spider that was telling me I was wonderful and not a cat lol

Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛🖤

the dubious philosophy of salmon

Pepsi distributed Dr Pepper (on the left) And Coca-Cola distributed Dr Pepper (on the right). Dr. Pepper isn’t owned by either company, it is it’s own company Keurig Doctor Pepper, BUT they don’t have a bottling facility. In an area, they use whichever bottling facility gives them the best deal. That’s why sometimes it’s Pepsi shaped and sometimes it’s Coke shaped.

which ao3 tag are you?
