jk I'm all about that bread @danishcookies@computerfairi.es

@lillyfox@snouts.online honestly i am so fucking thankful that apparently around the time i became diabetic, my body decided artificial sweeteners weren't migraine-worthy anymore

and it's an INCREDIBLE minefield to try and avoid them these days, too!

migraines are weird. they're just like that sometimes.

i just really wish people would stop jumping up and down ready to call someone a racist for saying "MSG gives me migraines".

migraines are weird. msg gives me migraines sometimes. no, it's not me working myself into a tizzy because i ate chinese food and hate chinese people. it's been me going "fuck, does KFC have msg in it? ...aw fuck me, it does huh" the day after eating it when half my vision is spangly sparkly bullshit.

i'm really tired of the discussion about it going totally the other way

"but it's in all of these other foods -" yeah bub, a lot of those foods are also common migraine triggers!

"but your body makes it naturally -" my dude, my body also makes hormones that cause migraines in me. that is no guarantee.

it is also true that sometimes somebody can get away with eating a little MSG and not reach that having-a-migraine level. still doesn't mean they're faking.

ok y'all

listen. i get that MSG has gotten a really bad rap. i know and understand some of that is pure racism, particularly against chinese immigrants, using bunk claims to 'other' this group and vilify them. i know that some people absolutely do make up what MSG can do and are totally lying about it.

however.

IT REALLY IS A MIGRAINE TRIGGER, AND A FAIRLY COMMON ONE AT THAT

I briefly considered trying to experiment and see if putting chocolate milk into an ice cube tray could be a good idea (because juice seems like it has good results, at least) but then I remembered this

be safe, use at minimum twelve (12) compact discs as a condom

@danishcookies Well, they're working full speed to bring on the nightmare either way, but the fascists also have a massive propaganda machine on their side working 24/7 to convince everyone that everything isn't as bad as it looks/things are actually supposed to be on fire, that's normal, quit complaining.

trans people having kids: it's more likely than genealogy websites think

TIL ancestry dot com gets confused when two people whose gender is set as male have a biological child, and randomly decides that one must be the "mother"

Ok, but when do we get gender repeal parties?

@danishcookies Totally not going to get his arse beat by a mob of very angry workers, nope.

Awake again. Dreamed about some robogirls and a commune aero-mech/jet
