i celebrate st. patrick’s day as the lord intended, by helicoptering a snake over my head and heaving it at a protestant

i'm currently listening to a series written by a different author each chapter. i'm not sure it works, though, because everyone's style jolts me each time and it's clear that some writers are stronger than others. hrm.

The list of herbs included with a large bottle of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa is so cute:

Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa is just as good as Ricola

Yep. One teaspoon in a mug of green tea with mint, ginger slices, and lemon slices. Can add a pinch each of cayenne and mixed spice, and extra honey (pine honey is good).

This and rosehip syrup for a cold

There's a wonderful Chinese oil for pain. I buy it off Amazon in a 3 pack. It's miraculously instantaneous relief. Whatever it contains doesn't flag on a drug test 😅 Its called Wong To Yick Wood Lock oil. I'm telling you this because I'm stocking up before tariffs hit. #ChronicPain #Fibromyalgia

Why, oh why didn’t I study TCM, acupuncture, and phytotherapy?

That realisation that the Spanish word for “wrist” and “doll” IS THE SAME 😱

aka “old lady perfume”

Alright, putting White Flower oil on my forehead for this headache, because the paracetamol is being rather slow to kick in. Please don’t develop into a migraine. Oh God, no. 🙏🏼

Gee thanks. *headache intensifies* 😞

Who knew acupuncture would be the only thing to cure my chronic pain. I feel like me again 😭

Gen Z flocks to traditional Chinese medicine as trust in US health system plummets https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/mar/04/chinamaxxing-influencers-chinese-traditional-medicine ↷ canadahealthwatch.ca/insights 🍁

I have thought of all three. Pacific Rim College has a pretty good TCM, phytotherapy, and acupuncture school.

Queer midlife crisis with only three options: 1. Become a therapist 2. Go to acupuncture school 3. Move to the woods and give up

Time to schedule an appointment with my acupuncturist, whom I haven’t seen in two years. Let’s see if she can taper off side effects from the new medication.

I barely ate anything yesterday, and now that I’ve eaten, oh the headache and nausea. Ooooof. I’ve just completed one exam yesterday , and I have another today.

Oof, headache.

Let’s see if St. Patrick works a miracle in my life.

"I prayed up to one hundred times a day and almost as many times during the night." Iarr’maid ort, a Phádraig, guí orainn na Gaela, A Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all!

If this was all for me to learn a lesson, I’ve learnt it, okay?! WELL.

"If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." - Zora Neale Hurston #QuoteOfTheDay #ZoraNealeHurston #Silence #Pain #Oppression

This is why Captain Kirk said we need our pain

The honest truth? The saying goes that “money can’t buy happiness”, but I’m poor, and YES IT CAN MAKE ME VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. It can buy me happiness, stability, meals, and freedom. Sick and tired of poor people trying to play the bigger person and saying “I only need God. God is enough”.

God damn this evil country.

*one person* is the reason we don’t get a Buffy reboot? One(1)(!) person?!?!???!

why can't we have nice things like this www.crossway.org/bibles/esv-s...

Related: I got a review email today for an edition of the French philosopher Peter Abelard's work "Scito te ipsum," written about 900 years ago, whose title translates to "know thyself." These fucking guys.

*bath pouff (sp?)

Trump doesn’t understand how NATO works. You don’t get to start wars and have all of NATO join in. Trump’s illegal war, is not a group project. If random people on the internet understand that fact, and he does not, that’s a huge problem.

This is not the first time this country does this to Latinos. They did it to my grandfather during the Bracero Program. This is torture. Abolish ICE.

I'm going with the Pope on this.

Ten years after he died, Yeats was completely out of print. Auden wrote an elegy about how unappreciated he was in his home country. By the 1990s Yeats is getting referenced in Jilly Cooper, Seinfeld and Joni Mitchell. What changed?

Watching Y Tu Mama Tambien on Netflix and reminded that Luisa has a big book of WB Yeats poems in her apartment.

I would harness the power of wu-wei to make all wars cease in the world. Oh wait, that might be the right answer…

I would use the dedicated Strait of Hormuz opener tool on my Victorinox Statesman Swiss Army Knife™, which is meant for exactly that purpose

May I, too, become an economic miracle. 🙏🏼

Christ: "Love your enemies" Christian nationalism: "No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." See the difference?

PLEASE 🙏🏼

Already?!!

Hoping for the greatest and most literal reverse ferret in history

The people have misread the mood of the nation, I’m sorry to say.

Time to end the jokes about Truss at the Cenotaph. She shouldn't be there in future

Rotting in hell is too good for them. They’ve got to roast.

*begins singing “Rosa Rosarum”* #SubRosa

That must been so fun to learn Greek. Did you learn how to sing the chant too?

Oh, this interests me immensely. I can’t wait to learn Koine Greek so I can read the Septuagint and New Testament in Greek.

Saw graffiti in a bathroom in Indiana on my drive on Saturday that said "Fuck you Trump for the gas prices" and I think destroying the economy while starting a war you're crying about while murdering people in the streets at home while building yourself a ballroom might be too much for normies?
