thought it was a one-off thing, but i’ve now seen multiple pictures and videos of red-bellied woodpeckers touching other birds with their tongue at bird feeders. why are they suck little freaks?
My new mission in life is to impart this wisdom to as many people as possible
IT’S ALSO USEFUL IF YOU HAVE TMJ DISORDER
in both cases: always start on the lowest setting and wrapped in something soft!! if it hurts, stop!!
But, re: sinuses: look up a diagram of where they are, and when a spot feels particularly good or is particularly congested, hold it there longer. Definitely keep tissues handy for when it drains. Also it can help if your sinuses hurt like fuck but aren’t actually congested (which happened when I had covid), but the effect doesn’t last long.
Re: TMJ disorder: You can just push it against the joint, obviously; if your vibe has a small contact point you can REALLY dig in there (but again: stop if it hurts). But don’t forget the whole area around the joint, around your ears, and up your scalp. There’s a lot of muscles that tighten when your jaw is tight/stiff/in pain. Be especially careful when on a spot that’s just skin over a bone without a lot of padding.
vibrators can also help if you have restless legs syndrome! Especially ones with fancy pulse patterns. When my RLS is severe I tuck them behind my knees or wherever & can finally lie still & sleep. You might need to wrap them in fabric to avoid skin irritation ymmv. There was even a paper published somewhere called “counter stimulatory devices for RLS” that was hilariously vague about saying the word “vibrator”
Once again adding also useful if you have dystonia or any kind of muscle spasticity. I have cervical dystonia (neck spasms) and dystonia in my left leg that’s essentially like persistent Charley horse cramps from my neuromuscular issues and bought a Hitachi expressly for this purpose lol
A vibrator has been recommended to me to unblock clogged milk ducts for anyone that may apply to
I learned about the sinus thing and immediately bought a vibrator for that purpose. And yes, it DOES help with sinus headaches.
I use mine to cum as well
So having an orgasm can help with headaches, but if your pain is too great for an orgasm, you can also start by using the vibrator on the back of your neck to loosen up your muscles.
This is truly why Tumblr is the only great social media platform.
It is an mRNA vaccine with successful mammalian (mice) trials.
The vaccine targets life-threatening inflammation and immune responses.
Mice with serious allergies, which received the vaccine tailored to those allergies, stopped having immune reactions when exposed to those allergens.
Aka: vaccinating against allergies.
If they can develop it for safe human use, it could save an enormous amount of lives, and IMPROVE the lives of people who live in constant fear of encountering their lethal allergens.
Because it’s able to be tailored, and specifically affects the immune system response, it may one day be able to adjust immune responses to chronic conditions like Celiac Disease, Asthma, Food Sensitivities, Food Allergies, and potentially many other autoimmune disorders.
Imagine a future where a child with a deadly shellfish allergy could get a shot and just… not be allergic anymore. Eat shrimp with no fear.
Be born with Celiac, get a shot, and casually eat gluten with no side effects.
We’re not quite there yet, but it’s performing well in mammalian trials, and we have high hopes!
cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you’re still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don’t understand when you’re trying to help them
cats when you step on their tail: i’ll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.
cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,
i love paintings that look as if they have ghosts in them
this painting by andrew wyeth has got SO many ghosts in it. most andrew wyeth paintings have ghosts in, but this is off the scale!
this painting by dragan bibin has only one ghost as far as i can tell, but it’s a really scary ghost (the dog thinks so too)
this painting by meraud guevara looks very peaceful, but unfortunately it has a ghost in it. i can’t tell you where, but it does
you might think you can see the ghosts in this dorothea tanning painting, but you’re wrong. the little girls are just ordinary girls. the actual ghost is behind one of those doors.
