Posts about medicinal herbs hardly ever include the side effects or any negative reactions. It's always, "drink chamomile tea to relax and sleep" and not, "15-20% of people are allergic to ragweeds, which includes chamomile, so it might give you a scratchy throat."

-Drinking mint tea regularly can cause acid reflux and exacerbate other GI issues.

-St. John's Wort calms you, and is good for depression, but it can also dangerously lower your heart rate if you take beta blockers.

-Sure, fennel is great for "digestive issues," but don't schedule a date that night, you will be very gassy.

-All members of the Poplar family, which includes Willow, contain the same chemical as modern aspirin within their bark. Don't give it to your kid if they have the flu or chicken pox, it can cause a deadly reaction.

-Rosehip helps with painful menstruation, and is a great source of vitamin C. So great, in fact, that you can overdose and give yourself kidney stones if you take too much.

-Dear white people, taking turmeric every day will literally turn you orange.

I swear these billionaires could announce they're going to start hunting us for sport and some people would still be out there defending it with they're whole chest like
"you're just mad because you can't run fast."

Disability Rights UK (who do fantastic disability rights handbooks) have come out in solidarity with trans folk after yesterday's decision with a much better and stronger statement than Stonewall managed (they "share the deep concern")

This is what solidarity looks like at its most basic. Supporting each other, recognising the connections that are shared, and speaking the fuck out.

SXSW is coming to London from 2-7th June, and it's exactly as you might expect: Expensive, AI, NFTs, and a bunch of people you probably want to ignore.

I propose FKFJ: The exact opposite of SXSW, on the same dates.

An distributed affordable community thing across London, about interesting technology, music, and art.

No central organisation. Just put on an event. We'd have a website to find them all.

Yes?

Greetings! Can I interest you in a heartwarming donation and/or signal boost of this small Welsh town volunteer-organised Pride festival?

justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sa

Pride is deeply needed in rural Wales, where being queer can be so isolating. And since it's only small, you get a lot of bang for your buck - 16% of the £750 goal has been raised already. :)

Last year was our first Pride (Balchder in Welsh), and thanks to signal boosts on Mastodon and Tumblr it was fully funded within 24 hours, it was EPIC and the organisers were so chuffed that they COULD NOT EVEN.

Lovely queers in a sunny garden with a rainbow-coloured big top circus tent in the background.

The Holocaust Encyclopedia defines a concentration camp as “Functioning outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.”

Today, it’s happening again as Trump disappears immigrants to El Salvador.

A sign of how far we are from the norm and how dangerous things are today. Lisa Ann Murkowski is the Senate's second-most senior Republican woman, and she's afraid to speak out, fearing retaliation.

“We are all afraid. It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”

Per WaPo:

"Asked about the Abrego García case yesterday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ... called it a “distraction” and shifted focus back to the lawsuit he was announcing against the administration’s trade policies."

Newsom's the second Dem to call Abrego Garcia a "distraction" (the other did it anonymously). These are deeply broken and misguided people

Fuck Newsom and every other R in sheep's clothing (Adams, Cuomo,) whose only real interests are maintaining the spotlight and "winning"

Asked about the Abrego Garcia case yesterday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), another 2028 presidential prospect, called it a “distraction” and shifted focus back to the lawsuit he was announcing against the administration’s trade policies. “It’s exactly the debate they want,” Newsom told reporters. “Because they don’t want this debate on the tariffs. They don’t want to be accountable to markets today.”
