Reminded me of the high geologist post
I feel dumb, I don’t get the ace bit. Was it just slang, like he’s cool, and then they swerved it? Or was there something that actually made the commentary think they were asexual in the image? Now I feel dumb and old.
I like this thread/comic but I’m legitimately confused by ‘ace rights’ did we start forcing people to fuck or something? I hadn’t noticed lol
It is probably more about recognition, most people (in their minds) don’t recognize asexuality. Many folks thought I had something wrong with me (do you know how many erectile dysfunction or micropenis jokes I had to endure?) or I was attracted to them and was trying to hide it.
Yeah I get that and agree, but I think that language is important in these situations. That’s about something that has nothing to do with rights and minimalizes the actual civil rights issues that we DO have by association. I agree that education is important, but that has nothing to do with a legal fight for rights.
Did you miss the whole “childless cat ladies” thing the GOP has been doing lately?
The untold story: 1.) the grade was curved due to everyone’s low numbers
2.) no one wanted to get near the rocks to identify them because there was one weird mofo walking on all fours around the displays, randomly snarling and licking each one
Homeslice identified a few more than everybody else and his grade shot to the moon.
3.) included were 2 previously unidentified specimens, which he also identified, somehow
In order for licking the rocks to help on the test, he must have already tasted them before.
Plot twist: Wasn’t a Geology major, there was no test.
Oh hi Wendy did you know this is a crunch Santa Cecilia granite benchtop? crunch crunch
As someone who does LSD whenever she can (Which is… sadly not as often as you’d think)
This doesn’t surprise me
I really want to experiment with psychedelics but I have no idea where to even start on obtaining them lol
*safely obtain them. I don’t know how to tell apart legit sites and honeypots, and as a trans girl in Texas I am really really really worried about potentially being arrested. So I don’t risk it, and I probably won’t until I meet someone I can trust irl who can help me get access tbh.
It’s a different world these days. Two decades ago I’d do rails of molly out of an Altoids can which was being passed around a festival campsite. Now anything can have fent in it. Shit sucks and I kind of feel bad that kids these days have to deal with this.
Until very recently festivals were a major source of LSD distribution in the U.S.
Not so much regular attendees buying 10 strips but people who know each other meeting up at various festivals to exchange larger quantities of dry, crystal LSD. I don’t know how much it’s changed in the last decade or so, probably not that much.
I would love to try LSD, but I’m too worried about serotonin syndrome because of the medications I take.
Serotonin syndrome is somewhat of a phobia more than a rational fear with modern medications.
Unless you’re taking a MAOi, which I somewhat doubt (as they’re not really used anymore due ti safety concerns and whatnot), you should be alright.
Serotonin syndrome is still sort of in the recreational drug users mythos, because being too careful isn’t really harmful, and people don’t really understand neuropharmacology that much, so they tend “not to risk it.”
(MDMA and LSD are both serotonergic, but MDMA is more risky in terms of serotonin syndrome than LSD.)
I’m not suggesting anyone on medications reads this and thinks I’m saying it’s a risk-free thing, but since we be adopted SSRI instead of MAOi, it’s not nearly as big of a risk. MAOi and psychedelics was honestly very risky.
SSRI’s tend just to blunt the effects of psychedelics/mdma. If you keep to normal recreational doses, it should be fine. From the article:
Again, the real danger lies in what both Charlotte and Nilu describe as a chase to catch up with their friends who aren’t on antidepressants.
“You won’t be getting the euphoric, psychological effects you want by taking more, but you will be getting more of the physiological effects – higher blood pressure, higher heart rate and higher temperature, which is a bummer,” says Dr Sessa. “These are not normally dangerous. MDMA is a relatively safe drug. We know that because so many people take it and come to no harm. But in excessive doses, because you’re trying to overcome the effect of being on the SSRIs, these may become dangerous.”
So no need to be that worried about the side effects, but also while you’re on SSRI, the experience probably will be a bit muted and you might have some slight discomfort. Who knows, it’s a bit personal and depends on your meds. If you’re just on a rather low dose of SSRI, it might not really affect the trip at all.
Not trying to advice, just informing a bit as I’m pretty well versed on the subject even if I do say so myself.
It’s more complicated than that and I think it’s just not worth the risk. I have a nerve disorder which I take the medication for, and it’s three medications: an SNRI, a GABA analogue and an anticonvulsant. I just don’t know that adding LSD into a mix like that is a good idea, because even if none of those individually could cause it, collectively, who knows? It’s not like it’s a common mix.
But I do appreciate it.
