Hi, my name is Ra. Birthday is June 23rd. Just talk to me- I promise I won't bite.... Very hard.
ok im already starting to see other people point out that joking about panera's neglect killing multiple people with heart problems through that lemonade is probably bad and doing footwork for a corporation being sued for said neglect maybe im not ridiculous
like look let's pretend saying "the panera lemonade that kills you" for the 50000th time in six months is actually funny. even so. what are these jokes doing besides neutering the culapbility of a company facing legal action for irresponsible marketing that has killed at least two people, one of whom was just 21 years old. the lawsuit says that the disregard could potentially lead to endangering children as well as people who are pregnant and breastfeeding.
dennis brown, the other person who died because of this, was a disabled man with chromosomal deficiency disorder and high blood pressure who already made a concerted effort to not drink energy drinks specifically because he was aware it was dangerous. if panera had been responsible and forthcoming, he no doubt would have avoided drinking it in the first place, let alone three in one sitting which led to a fatal cardiac event that took his life. imagine how the people who loved dennis and sarah katz feel seeing the tragic deaths of their loved ones be reduced to a meme that practically markets the thing that killed them, and promotes the company whose irresponsible practices contributed to it.
i dont think people are evil for hopping on this meme, but in a post-stella liebeck world we NEED to think about who it benefits to see the headline "panera lemonade causes two people to die" and instead of interrogating further we talk about how funny it is that people died from lemonade or how we neeeeeeed to try this "cocaine lemonade" or whatever -- basically marketing the product they're being sued over and giving free advertising to panera as a reward for fatal neglect.
I don't know who needs to hear this but your brain is lying to you and you don't need to wait until there's a round number on the clock to go the fuck to bed or start that project or eat a meal.
Get up and do it now.
There is a German art group called Pataphysical Institute Basel that I collaborated with on an art festival a few years ago, and one of their things was that they wanted everything done in "Pataphysical time" which in practice meant that nothing should be scheduled to start at exactly on the hour or half past the hour, and instead the start time should be something weird like three minutes past etc.
That was surprisingly helpful and I have since then been on "Pataphysical time" like I don't place special importance on any specific position of the hands of the clock.
"Pataphysical Time" is going to be a fun thing to say to myself when I need to do something instead of getting stuck until a "correct" number.
No, you aren't "behind in life".
But, it's okay to grieve the time you spent surviving. The time spent trying to figure out what was wrong. The time spent healing to become a person again.
It wasn't your fault.

Oh my god reblog to save a me thank you
Reblogging even though it's way past Halloween bc this is an important reminder!
Stay away from anything with charcoal during this season if you are on ANY medication!!!
Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.
You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.
YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY
The Redditors really are adapting well to the ecosystem here.
losing my mind what do you MEAN mr. brightside is 20 years old
WHAT DO YOU MEAN 2003?????
i just can't look, it's killing me 😔
