PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE APOLOGIZING FOR BECAUSE I’M COMPLETELY CONFUSED
The RNA vaccines approved for COVID-19 in the US both need to be distributed at extremely low temperatures. Like 40F lower than any other mass-distributed medicine.
It turns out the Dippin Dots company runs the only nationwide supply chain that’s ever operated at those temperatures. So all these big serious health orgs are consulting the expertise of, and even exploring renting equipment from, The Ice Cream of the Future™️.
does anyone have that gif of a penis growth ad thats a guinea pig that stretches out rly long and a girl says “hot!” and the guinea pig spins around pls i need it
Every post where it says “history books leave this out” and “historians are trying to hide this from us” is just code for “I have literally never picked up a history book outside of high school history class in my entire life”
It’s very clear what Isy is saying in this post and yet, the absolute fuckery in the notes seems to think this is more complicated than it is. Isy is acknowledging that there is no active conspiracy amongst historians, especially historians who are operating TODAY i.e. in 2020, to cover up any aspect of history. Historians can *be* anyone and so they write about anything and everything. School curriculums are different, of course: curriculums have always been political, but historians are not responsible for what is on the curriculum (and what is omitted), and thus, that’s a different (albeit occasionally related) conversation. Isy is saying that taking unsourced, often entirely made-up Tumblr posts at face-value and 100% believing that you didn’t know said dubious fact because all historians are actively hiding it from you is absurd and shows you haven’t interacted with what historians in 2020 are doing and writing. It might be true that SCHOOL left out important details but like I said, that’s a new conversation (that needs to be had, fyi).
Plus, making up for that lack of historical knowledge by only using social media is bad. There’s nothing good about taking everything you read here as the God’s honest truth. I’m not saying you can’t find good history/historians on social media. You absolutely can. I’d like to think I count as a fairly competent historian who uses Tumblr and Twitter quite extensively. But be mindful and thoughtful always! Don’t always take things at face-value! Be curious, and expand your search beyond the confines of self-righteous ‘LET ME TELL YOU A THING’ Tumblr.
There’s a reason lots of good parents say to babies stuff like
“You’re excited to go to the park!”
“Oh, it makes you mad that we can’t go outside.”
And then when the babies get a little bit older the parents can say
“You seem upset. Are you sad?”
“Are you excited that gramma is coming over today?”
Which lets the kid (who is learning to utilize speech) respond with yes or no, which may prompt more questions, like
“So you aren’t sad, are you angry?”
“Yes, does it make you happy when gramma is here?”
And then, finally, when the child is learning to use language in a more complex way, the parents can say,
“How does it make you feel?”
“Why are you feeling like that?”
And it’s all about teaching emotional awareness. I really reccomend using the process on yourself. Learn to ask, “am I happy?” “Am I sad?” “Am I anxious?”
Then practice identifying, out loud or on paper if you can, “I’m happy.” “I’m upset.” “I’m sad.” “I’m anxious.”
Final step: “Why am I feeling anxious? I’m still thinking about that awkward conversation earlier.” “Why am I happy? It’s such a beautiful day outside.” “Why am I sad? None of my friends are responding to my messages.”
It really helps you notice patterns (“I’m more likely to be happy when I’m around this person.” “When I haven’t eaten, I often feel angry.” “If I don’t plan ahead, I get anxious.”) which is the first step in avoiding things and people that are bad for you and encouraging things and people that are good.
Basically don’t forget that you’re just a baby who got more complicated.
Not sure how to articulate what you are feeling? Try starting at the middle and working your way out to the more specific feelings!
A lot of therapy I’ve been to has just been teaching me how to do exactly this
