No porn on tumblr we describe our nudes in detail instead
today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
….and that is why being separated from our food’s origins and not knowing anything about botany is what is wrong with the world today goddamnit.
I bet some people would eat castor beans too. Or yew. Or just fuckin’ snack on some hemlock because it’s natural, man.
Fucking incredible.
LIKE IT TAKES SOME FUCKING EFFORT TO GET A CHERRY PIT OPEN FUCKING W H Y
Question: Is it the same with plums? I used to do that occasionally when I ate dried and seasoned Asian plums as a kid.
Yes.
Plum pits do not contain as much as cherry, but they do.
Do not eat stone fruit pits, people. Or bitter almonds.
They all have cyanide in them.
Oh boy, apricot kernels. The amount of people I see lauding those as a “cure for cancer” is… demoralizing. I can’t find it right now but I believe there was a mother in the past few years who was taken to court for child endangerment/neglect for feeding those to her very young child as a cancer treatment.
I saw this horror last year, and yelled for an entire hour.
To be fair, I bet if you die of cyanide poisoning the cancer won’t kill you.
I have been wanting to use these photos for months.
The recommendation is to only eat 3 in one hour. because that is just the most filling snack and of course they will stop at three.
Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Just because it’s food for another creature doesn’t mean it’s fine for you.
Best case scenario it’s like grass which is basically neutral- it’s generally not going to kill you but there’s no nutrition for humans in it, and enough will probably make you sick.
Worst case scenario it’s something like belladonna berries which taste sweet but will kill you stone cold dead.
Same for the wrong kind of mushrooms, other berries, leaves and barks. Before consuming, CHECK. If you can’t check, don’t put it in your mouth.
Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
I’ve been saying this for so long, oh my gosh.
^^As a toxicologist, I approve this message.
Friendly reminder that the laws on supplement labeling in the US are super lax and haven’t been updated since 1994. That’s nearly 25 years ago!
Oh hey, forgot to mention I tweeted @ apricotpower on twitter about how their product is poison and they blocked me. You should all tweet at them too.
So, to be honest, because I used to read like two a week for work for well over a year (I was a copy editor for Dreamspinner), approximately none of them stuck in my head, and then I took a long break from reading them, except when I was assigned them as a copy editor for Ellora’s Cave. So I don’t really read them anymore outside of YA. (Although I did read next year’s Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, and I loved it.) There are a few exceptions – I do like NA, and my favorites there are Coffee Boy by Austin Chant, Off Campus by Amy Jo Cousins and Trust the Focus by Megan Erickson.
In YA, I’m a huge fan of Adam Silvera, Caleb Roehrig, and Shaun David Hutchinson, and I finally read Alex London with Black Wings Beating and thought it was great. I’d say my top faves are probably, in no particular order (although the top 5 listed are probably by top 5 overall):

ETA: *runs up panting and waving a copy of The Wicker King by K. Ancrum in the air* I can’t believe I forgot to mention this one but it is so special and I’m so mad that no one has asked me for a Raven Boys comp since I read it because it is absolutely the Raven Boys comp you are looking for.
