literally in a life/death situation before giving birth, and i STILL made sure to let the team know i wanted the vitamin K shot for my baby. a doctor later thanked me for doing so because of the insane uptick in their patients refusing it, resulting in serious harm to newborns.

After their son seemed to react badly to vaccines, Stephanie and Eric declined a vitamin K shot for their baby girl, Gwen. They gave her vitamin K drops, which they trusted would help her blood clot. Then Gwen started bleeding — and couldn’t stop. propublica.org/article/vitam…
An 11-Day-Old Baby Couldn’t Stop Bleeding. For Hours, the ER Didn’t Provide a Critical Vitamin Shot.

An 11-Day-Old Baby Couldn’t Stop Bleeding. For Hours, the ER Didn’t Provide a Critical Vitamin Shot.

As more parents reject a long-standard shot for babies, hospitals are seeing cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding — once considered virtually eliminated. Doctors don’t always recognize or know how...

Think about how unnatural & weird the modern concert experience is. You can't tell me that existed 100 years ago. Concerts are a way for desk job tax cattle to feign having a community & a soul

Oh cool. I already literally have this nightmare on a weekly basis.

The unique experience of having a recurring nightmare and seeing visual proof of possibility is a feeling so visceral I just emailed my therapist

It is honestly crazy that she doesn't really have that accent. Like basically psychotic. It's like if I walked around all day sounding like Pesci in Goodfellas.

been thinking about this and it really seems like a lot of the core walkable city stuff is a young adults' discourse. a lot of their benefits don't actually mean much to you if you're a family of five and not a student or a young professional

「日本から帰ってきたら」(When We Get Back Home From Japan) ビル・ヒューム、ジョン・アナリーノ著 本書は、日本から帰国した米兵たちが日本の習慣を持ち帰ったという現象を考察するために執筆された。 この本は、人種差別的な嘲笑などとは程遠く、日本の文化や伝統、そして日本人を絶えず称賛している。むしろ、アメリカの生活様式に対して、自虐的なユーモアがふんだんに盛り込まれている。 1953年に出版された。

it’s interesting to me that a lot of subtle lines in the Japanese dialogue in Godzilla Minus Zero are spelled out in the subtitles. Like, “onegai shimasu” being translated as “you’re in charge”. I wonder to what degree that reflects an assumption about the audience.

I’ve had commercial onigiri twice in the U.S., and both times they’re just so totally wrong. Both made in a weird angular mold that makes them feel fake (idk can’t describe it) and the filling is NOT IN THE MIDDLE but on the face of the triangle. 0/10 experience.
