Adding On. There Was High Levels Of Arsenic In Browns, Reds, And Some Yellows As Well, So It Isn't Just

Adding on. There was high levels of arsenic in browns, reds, and some yellows as well, so it isn't just the green to watch out for. Additionally, they started selling greens and browns that were labeled as "arsenic free" and testing revealed more arsenic than an "accidental or trace amount." Even if they tried to be safe, they were at risk.

We talk about the clothing because that's easy, but let's not forget this pigment was everywhere. A bigger problem was things like wall paper. Because arsenic is water soluble, and London is very humid, you end up with people inhaling large amounts of poison without even wearing dangerous clothing.

I donโ€™t know who needs to hear this today, but:

- arsenic dye was used to make multiple shades of green in the 18th/19th centuries

- green dyes without arsenic were also still in common use

- consumer outcry against arsenic dye started as early as the 1860s, with many manufacturers beginning to phase it out around that time due to customer demand

- arsenic โ€“ dyed clothing is not likely to do more to the wearer than cause a skin rash. The majority of deaths from exposure to the dye were caused by other, more concentrated sources, and/or among workers exposed to large quantities of the pigment on a daily basis rather than consumers

- IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF A GREEN ANTIQUE GARMENT IS DYED WITH ARSENIC WITHOUT CHEMICAL TESTING. There is NO telltale quality visible to the naked eye that I am aware of

Please stop making up a modern mash-up of traditions and claiming its a historic practice. It's not. And guess what, that's fine! Make up your own rituals. That's what every religion has done to date.

You don't have to insist that any of your weird shit rituals you like doing are some sort of a remnant of ancient pre-christian pagan traditions that trace back thousands of years. You can just do weird pagan shit right now. Every time I'm home alone and I hear a noise that could be a ghost, I say out loud: "fuck off or start paying rent." And whatever caused that noise is gone.

My last ancestor who didn't know what christianity was probably didn't know what rent was, either.

Funguary Day 17: Dotted Stem Bolete

This one was a bit simpler because, honestly, I was experiencing some art block. I also wanted to experiment with a different body type than I usually do.

"Laccaria Amethystina" commonly known as Amethyst Deceiver. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ„

An edible mushroom and usually found in all types of woodlands. The stunning bright purple color signifies its youth, but it fades to pale brown or tan with age and weathering. Because of fading, it could easily be confused with the potentially deadly Lilac Fibrecap. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’€

Creative way of saving camels from getting run over

As someone who developed an infection that literally ate the bone away in my jaw until there was nothing holding my teeth in my head except the gums...

Forgive yourself, and then correct the miss. It's okay that you missed brushing, or flossing, or the Dr visit. Now you can do it. And it's okay if you don't have time or energy to floss your whole mouth. Do one tooth now. Doing one is better than none.

And all this applies to more than your mouth. Can't shower? Wash your face or your pits. You might have energy later to shower. Cleaning is just too much? Grab whatever is next to you and take care of just that. This has been my depression stratagy for 25 years. It's not perfect but when you live alone...any little maintenance helps.

โ€œif you canโ€™t brush your teeth thatโ€™s fine uwu one step at a timeโ€ posts are supportive and thatโ€™s great but Iโ€™m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasnโ€™t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth
