this is such a silly thing but I see the tide pod memes are on the rise and I just want to shout into the void that I read a study about people eating these things, mostly adults with dementia. before this progresses to people jokingly biting into them please be aware that the substance inside is so deeply caustic that it can damage your esophagus after one bite to such an extent that it causes necrosis and you die. please do not, as a joke, bite the pods.
Today my professor told me every cell in our entire body is destroyed and replaced every seven years. How comforting it is to know that one day I will have a body that you will have never touched.
This just made me feel so warm.
thank you.
Important especially for victims of abuse, remember your body is yours and it heals in more ways than you realize.
Okay, so I just want to say that this isn’t necessarily true. Most of your cells have died and regrown several times in seven years, but some haven’t, and some have died and won’t return. The seven year cell renewal is a myth perpetuated by popsci in magazines everywhere.
That being said, anywhere they may have touched you, your skin, your hair, your nails and so on, was changing the moment they departed your life, even before that. Your skin became skin they’ve never touched within 27 days. Your hair grows (on average) six inches per year, so depending on how long yours is, you were rid of their touch there within a few years tops. Your nails will completely regrow within six months tops. You were a body they never touched within three or four years. You will be a body they never touched within three or four years.
You have been rewriting your body, you are your own, you are constantly changing, and you are the only one who owns your body 100% of the time.
I’m here for correcting science myths in supportive ways.

Type of fanwork: fanfiction Subtype(s): N/A Fandom(s): Sherlock (all) Highest rating creator will work with: E (explicit) Length: Less than 5K words Especially interested in: I write mostly johnlock, but am happy to attempt other pairings or polygroups. I love writing consensual BDSM and have life experience as a dungeon monitor at a local club. I am also willing to write fluffy domestic things, and sometimes those are all in the same fic! Unwilling to address: Sherlock/women unless it is part of an OT3 such as johnlockary. I read him as gay or homoromantic ace and I can’t seem to write him well with women unless another man is also involved. The only fetishes I don’t work with are scat and kids. I don’t write teacher/student AUs. Notes:

On Surreal Sunday fallen ginkgo leaves become golden labyrinths. These ephemeral mazes are the creation of Sacramento State University counselor Joanna Hedrick. She’s been creating them every autumn since 2013 as a beautiful gift to students facing their final exams.
“[My art] is about taking something that’s already beautiful and making something unique—something you don’t just pass by,” Hedrick says.
Hedrick’s designs include spirals, concentric circles, and a hornet hive pattern. Each one takes between two to three hours to complete and she tends to make about six per season.
