gentle reminder in this cold-n-flu season to not take mucinex if you’re also taking an SSRI (antidepressant)
always google “drug interactions [insert drug names]” to make sure that combining meds won’t make you more sick
mucinex DM specifically
the dextromethorphan reacts badly with the serotonin and can cause really bad anxiety and insomnia. it can also cause something called serotonin syndrome, or serotonin poisoning.
regular mucinex is ok, but you should always double check medication reactions!
god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will
You know a few different times I’ve been asked what my biggest regret in life is and I usually say “I don’t know” but that’s a lie. A fat lie. My biggest regret is one time in 7th grade I broke a glowstick and drew a heart with Sasuke’s name in it on my bedroom wall but if that’s not bad enough you know glowsticks usually fade after a day, right? Well not this one- this one stained the wall so even at a grown ass adult there’s Sasuke’s name in a goddamn giant ass heart on my wall as erasable as the shame in my heart.
My new biggest regret is this post
Do not start reblogging this again I swear to god it hasn’t gotten notes for months and now suddenly it’s back in my notifications. I’ve moved out of my house and I am finally free. Let me be free.
Every one of you is a potential juror. So let me just say
1) cops lie. All the time. They lie to defendants, they lie to jurors. They get training on how to testify. And they get training on how to cover for their partners. And they get training on how to trick you to confess or incriminate yourself. All with a smile on their face. Cops lie. They are liars
2) every person is presumed innocent. That means of a person is accused and never takes the stand to explain why they are there, still innocent. It’s the governments job to prove guilt. If they do a shit job or their cops are corrupt or the case is weak or the evidence is trash, you MUST acquit. Not a suggestion. It’s a requirement. Even if your “gut” says the defendant did something. Fuck your gut. The question is did the government do their job beyond a reasonable doubt to show if this person is guilty? That’s the only question
3) Cops lie. They are liars. And prosecutors are cops with law degrees. They work together to get convictions. That’s their job. Defense attorneys advocate, prosecutors prosecute. It’s in the name.
4) if you get arrested, do not speak to the cops. Say you want an attorney. What did i just say? Cops lie! They will tell you if you’re just honest you’ll go home….it’s a lie. Even if you’re trying to say you’re innocent, shut your sweet mouth. They might be talking to you about one incident while also thinking of other crimes to charge you with. So they could be like “you did it, you were on Flatbush ave at 8pm and you robbed that lady” and you could say “no I was on Ditmas at 7:30 I didn’t touch her” and then they arrest you for a crime that happened on Ditmas because you fit the description and just admitted you were in the area. Don’t talk to cops.
