I was just thinking: The root word for hysteria is the Greek word hyster/hystero, which refers to the uterus or womb. I got kinda pissed off about that. Like, really? What I'm getting from that association is that the word hysteria basically means womb insanity.

Was hysteria an actual provable phenomenon, or was it just misogyny? Also asking because I remember a comedianne doing a 1950s housewife bit and saying something along the lines of "The doctors say it's hysteria, but I say it's Tuesday!" I have a gut feeling it was just sexist doctors writing off women struggling with mental health as "Women be talking, am I right, fellas?"

I've been binge watching shorts made by The Green Tea House USA. Despite their name, what attracted me the most were their shorts about pu'erh tea! It looks so interesting, and I'd love to try it. Chinese medicine has also been sort of a special interest of mine, so I'm very interested to see the benefits of drinking it. Tea as medicine is not a strange thing in my house either, as my mother is British (Her mother is Irish and her father was Scottish) and she's basically always drinking tea. Mostly throat coat and sleepy time, though.

What are the most beginner friendly ways to get into drinking pu'erh tea? I was hoping that, much like my recent adventures with matcha, there were some instant powders I could try, but unfortunately, it seems not. The only one I could find on Amazon was around $21. Can you all help a girl out? Cheers!

I can never seem to get the droops symmetrical! I wanna do manba, but it'll be a tad silly, because I don't have access to self-tanner. So, shiro manba? Does anyone have any tips for symmetrical gal makeup?

For context, my family and I have been Doctor Who fans for a very long time. I wasn't really as into it as my mother and my brother were, but I still liked it a little bit. Fast forward to recently, and I've been utterly obsessed! My brother actually told me I'm a bigger fan than he is. This is bloody insane, to me as my brother is (In my world view) the biggest Doctor Who fan of all time!

He used to eat fish sticks and custard because The Doctor would, he dressed up as The Doctor for Halloween, baby him made multiple drawings of Daleks that are still on our walls today, he owns a fez, he owns multiple toy Doctors. He owns multiple toy TARDISes, he owns a homemade paper K-9 doll, he owns (I have it now) a little remote that plays sounds from the show, he wore bow ties like the Tenth and ate celery like the Fifth, his favorite, and if I were to describe all the other Doctor Who things he has, I'd be here all day.

All I ever really did was dress up as Amy Pond, and that was only because he was dressed as the Eleventh. To be fair, I was madly in love with Paul McGann as the Doctor, but that was because my goofy five-year-old self thought he was handsome. My opinion hasn't changed since, but still, it was more because he was pretty than because it was the Doctor.

My obsession today is way goofier than his ever was. I can name (Almost) all the doctors off the top of my head, I can point out all the differences between the theme songs and their respective visuals, I know all the Doctors' catchphrases, I can recite random quotes from the Eighth Doctor's radio dramas, I know a bunch of random obscure facts about the making of the Eighth Doctor's movie, I've played countless Minecraft mods about Doctor Who and gone to countless VRChat worlds that are the TARDIS... Yeah, safe to say I'm a pretty big fan.

All of that is so weird to me, because I remember not really liking Doctor Who! Well, to be fair, it wasn't that I disliked it. I was just neutral. I'm the type of person who, if my mum or my brother is watching TV, I'll sit down for a bit, get invested, and then leave. That was most of my Doctor Who experience. My mother also used to sit down the two of us to watch an episode or two while we were eating lunch.

This was a very unorganized post. I don't know how to end it. Goodbye!

IMO, some of her best songs are Ptolemaea, Nettles, and Gibson Girl. By best, I don't just mean favorite. I mean the most powerful instrumental and the most powerful lyrics.

I wanted to do this silly little thing on Cloud Island. Why can't I fly? I'm a butterfly; I should be able to stay in mid air!

Don't arrest me, I'm a writer. I'm writing a story that takes place in the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the demon I'm writing takes offerings in the form of eyes. He's like a really messed up genie: If you give him your eye, you can get whatever you want, but he will own your soul in the afterlife. The current character I'm writing gouges out her eye to revive Rupert Giles, and I was wondering how much blood she would lose.

The only other reference I have for eyes not being in the right place is Repo! The Genetic Opera, and I don't think anything in that film is even VAGUELY medically accurate. I think it would be a really cool description for blood to be running down her cheek, visible under her bangs, but I don't wanna be all dramatic and edgy if it's not medically accurate.

I AM NOT ASKING HOW TO PIRATE IT, I HAVE A COPY OF THE GAME ON STEAM!

How hard is it to mod DR3, and are there any good places to get mods?
