having a nickel allergy is actually so insidious because what you MEAN I need to pay attention to the nickel content in my food. what do you MEAN that it doesn’t even present like typical food allergy symptoms (no tingly mouth, no throat closing, no stomach pain etc) and it took until my mid-late 20s to realize that dietary nickel is probably why I’d sometimes get hives randomly on my arms with no apparent cause and have also now deal with chronic eczema. what do you MEAN that all the foods that I eat specifically because they are high in nutritional value consistently also contain nickel.

Here I was thinking my nickel allergy was pretty mild!! so many mysteries in my life were all probably caused by nickel. It was always nickel.

a lot of foods naturally contain nickel, which is good and fine.

but foods can also have a lot of nickel from how they’re stored/prepared.

did you know canned foods have a much higher concentration of nickel?

did you know something like stainless steel pots or an electric kettle can add nickel to your food?

did you know I recently switched to drinking loose leaf tea because I wanted less microplastics in my body, and have been preparing it in metal strainers half the time?

you know what naturally contains a lot of nickel? tea.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

if you’re writing erotica, it’s your moral and ethical duty to have complete unrelated side tangents that barely have anything to do with anything. I need these characters to put aside their sexual tension to talk about COINTELPRO for a couple of pages
