mothers and fuckers of the jury. “Dead dove: do not eat” is a label on a bag in the fridge. It means “the content of this bag is exactly what is labeled”. It does not mean “trigger warning uhhh something”. In fact, it means the exact opposite of “trigger warning uhhh something”, because tou use it with other tags. You write a fucked up fic with extreme violence and gore, you tag it as “extreme violence”, “gore” and you tag it with “dead dove: do not eat”. You write a fic with emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation, you tag it with “emotional abuse”, “gaslighting” and “dead dove: do not eat”. You write a fic with your extremely niche kink that appeals to like 3 other people and may skeeve out the rest of the fandom, you tag that with your kink and “dead dove: do not eat”. It’s so people know you’re really mean the content warnings.
It’s NOT a catch-all term for “uhhh this may be fucked idk”. TAG YOUR SHIT GENEROUSLY.
On this day one year ago, I was fired from Crumbl Cookies because my grandfather suddenly died and I cried when I found out and was on the clock. They make you sign a waiver to not talk about the recipes that lasts one year after your termination. Well guess what babes. That day, is today. RIP Nanu, you’ve been missed. But for anyone who likes the Chocolate Chip Cookies or the Iced Sugar Cookies, check out the recipes in the links. Feel free to ask about other recipes, it’s been a year but some things are just reskinned versions of these lol. Good Luck and Happy Baking.
i love that you can get high off of nutmeg and it fucking sucks so you get videos like this
Omg so I did a project on nutmeg highs for a college level psychopharmacology class one time. It’s my favorite project ever.
Some highlights about nutmeg (might not be perfectly up to date but we’re accurate as of the early 2010s):
There are only 2 known fatalities attributed to “overdoses” on nutmeg. One of them was an 8 year old boy in the 1800s who ate several grams….. To treat him, the doctors injected a combination of brandy (yes, the liquor), a smidge of cocaine, and some other highly questionable substances I don’t remember the exact details of. (May edit this post later to add them). After the “treatment,” he died. Was it the nutmeg that killed him or the (literal) cocktail straight to the blood that could perhaps kill a grown man? The world may never know.
Update: it was 14 grams, and in 1908.
The dose of nutmeg needed to get high is approximately 5 grams. The toxic (NOT lethal, toxic just means ‘starts to make you feel some degree of very sick’) is also 5 grams. This means that in basically every instance in which a person successfully uses nutmeg to get high, they also feel very ill. Most people report nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, at the very least.
The nutmeg community is WILD. Part of my project required that I quote actual users from testimony somewhere online. The stories I read were so absurd that they still live in my head rent-free almost a decade later. Every single story (except ONE, see below) were indeed tales of utter misery.
One was a guy who ate 10g of nutmeg before his sister’s wedding. He reported that the wedding was “not very enjoyable” as “the cake tasted like dirt” and dancing felt like “being a puppet pulled poorly and roughly around by a bad marionette.”
Another reported doing nutmeg and becoming convinced he had destroyed his brain. He said he stared out the window of his second floor apartment and “looked down at the other people, the normal people, the ones who weren’t going to be 30 IQ points stupider for the rest of their lives. I envied them for what they had. They didn’t even know. I would never be like them again.” He reported that he was fine a day later after the high wore off, and swore he’d never do it again. I still remember his username. RIP thelittletripperthatcouldnt.
The final guy, though. His story was the strangest. He LOVED nutmeg. He nut(meg)ed every day. For 12 hours each day he would watch porn and do nutmeg. He had done this for months. He was happy. He recommended nutmeg to everyone. I did not include his take in my presentation.
The title of the presentation was “why you shouldn’t do nutmeg”. I used the Chiller font. Don’t do nutmeg, kids.
My favorite fun fact about this is that Malcolm X talked several times about taking nutmeg.
My favorite not so fun story is from the time I interned at a vegan bakery. I got to hear the story of a guy who used to work there who just really liked the taste of nutmeg and didn’t know it would get you high, so he loaded up a milkshake with three tablespoons of nutmeg at the start of his shift. He spent the rest of the shift curled up in a corner hallucinating that bats were attacking him.
It’s like someone briefly joined the team running the universe, introduced their idea for a cool mechanic, then left, and now everyone is stuck pretending that this wildly unbalanced dynamic makes sense.
This is my totally Mad and random blog... I post what I want, am burdened with glorious purpose, HOH, and an avid Shakespearean fan/actress... Have a truly MAD day!!!
