Self-harm
Self-harm

i apperciate the articles discussion on how it is not primarily a suicidal trait, and the discussion of how it is categorized. it made me laugh to see slitting your wrist next to a tattoo as 'mild to moderate' behavior from walsh and rosen. i think its important to discuss that small acts no one thinks about is "self harm". scratching a scab. picking hair out like your eyebrows compulsively. biting your lips. to treat it like it is something special and uniquely horrifying is how to make people feel more isolated. well written article, satisfied with the way its written and how much information there is to process. shoutout to us with burn scars

List of plants with symbolism

i use this article often enough that i know it is useful to me because i know the people around me care for plants and symbolism, so i turn to this article to help me in my art journey. i apperciate that its not just flowers as well, though it could use more tree ones. i know there is more symbolism out there than is listed here.

Cave
Cave

read this with a friend once because i was interested to know what the worlds deepest cave was and discovered through a different source that wasnt wikipedia that it is hard to pin point that since there was far too many caves, particularly ones that are viewable to us and so much information on caves that there is truly no way of knowing. so less stars for having to go elsewhere to find this information. not very informative on the types either in what i saw of it. but it is talking about a general topic and there is articles about specific ones out there, so i will give it enough stars to be nice

Mr. ZIP
Mr. ZIP

i did not know about him until my sisters partner told me, and i am very interested in the way they failed terribly to make people excited about the existence of zip codes. it is something i have grown up with my whole time alive so i think its cool to see that whenever anything new is introduced, at least in america, they try to mascot it. very informative article, i really liked learning about him and the history of zip codes (and him in relation)

as interesting as the postal service, how we want to communicate to people and collaborate even if it technically has no "use" to share anything with one another. it can have misinformation but im more interested in how much we have at the tips of our fingers and how it is because of other people and their work

I came into the article while researching trepannation and was delighted with 1. how much information it has 2. how much it shows her own views 3. the way it wraps around to the idea of her not knowing if it was a placebo effect or if it truly changed her, going into her medical research and how much good she did with the world. It is interesting her research into psychedelics and the way its written fascinates me. Love you, Amanda. Everyone should know your name instead of Bart Hughes.

Most of his work with trepannation and how it influenced the New York scene he was in is not in this article, which disappoints me but makes sense with the fact he influenced a lot of people but is not the core focus of the movement even when he did so much for it by reaching out to the people around him. A short but sweet article that introduces him and what he believed in with trepannation nicely, I just wish it was expounded his views more.

Sinners (2025 film)

i like the movie and what it has to communicate in terms of colonialism (particularly the fact the vampires are irish is an interesting discussion to be had), but with the way (this is particularly difficult in the last 10-20 minutes of the movie) it communicates things with flash backs frustrates me. it feels as if it is talking down to the viewer, to think you are dumb enough to need to remember a song that was in the beginning of the movie that plays at the end. if i did not catch it, i would hope the movie inspires me to rewatch to catch those details, as a movie should want you to do. its a fun vampire movie though

i tried reading but it i feel it is very theoritical in a way that is hard for me to grasp but i am interested in the idea of it being a discussion, unfortunately this is like my third time of returning to this article to see if itll stick and it overwhelms me. i hope some time i'll climb this mountain

builds upon the idea of the ways the postal service is a way of communication and the ways we uphold that, and turning it into a challenge of what is communication in a way

interesting to learn the many lengths to go to show we care about communication with other human beings, even if it has nothing to do with us. i care about the postal service deeply
