afterall, feeling understood is the greatest form of love.
my life philosophy is that u need a Crush and an Enemy in every environment. this is the only way to deal with work school etc.
I talked about this in my throat punching post, but I after a recent experience, I thought it would be fun to point out how weak this little bone is. The hyoid is a U-shaped bone that sits above your laryngeal prominence (aka Adam's apple) and behind the jaw. It isn't attached to any other bones, but serves as the attachment site for a lot of muscles in the lower jaw and upper neck. You can palpate it, but be careful! You are capable of breaking your own hyoid bone. It requires 3-4kg (6-7lbs) of squeezing to fracture it. For reference, a human is capable of creating a pinch (index to thumb) strength of 5-8kg (11-17 lbs). Now imagine if someone is getting choked (it's not good).
Hyoid bone fractures can be life threatening, as this bone is important in the structures of the upper respiratory tract (breathing is very important). It can cause pharyngeal and laryngeal spasms, which leads to asphyxiation (you can't breathe). This can be fixed with a tracheotomy and tube placement, but sometimes patients don't know they've broken their hyoid until they can't breathe.
And for the personal experience: I was trying to explain the muscles of the throat to this girl in my anatomy group, and she had no idea what the hyoid was. So I was like "lemme just grab it real quick and let her feel it." I was a bit pissed off, I'll admit, when I did that. So I grabbed that bone pretty roughly and just snapped that motherfucker like the wishbone of a chicken. I knew it was tender, but holy shit it has no integrity. It turns out I was right all these years for having an fear of people grabbing my neck.

I was studying this in my history lessons like two days ago.
literally same stuff but.. it did have consequences lol
unfortunately i am a leaver... i left a required uni welcome event cus it was like 9am and i wanted food and i didn't want to be there. later that day i was forced into a small group with like 15 other freshmen and we were supposed to "build community" with ice breakers and shit and i just said "hey yall i have to do something real quick" and i just walked away and went home. i used to leave in the middle of class in high school and college ALL THE TIME .. there were consequences too i didnt gaf!!! unfortunately this means i have become the most avoidant person on the planet and if anything slightly annoys me (including people) i will walk away without saying a word... oh well! if it sucks hit da bricks!!!!
Don't stay silent when you see injustice !
by the way your voice always matters in the fight against injustice. every single time you speak out against an injustice it matters. it sheds light on it. it empowers others to speak up. it matters
this reminds me of henry like.. im sick of people saying 'rip henry you would've loved lana del rey' LIKE i'm sure he would've hated everything about her i'm sorry...
I have so much to say about how the fandom reduces francis to his sexuality and generally misrepresents his character but i dont think im ready to open that can of worms yet so ill just leave it at that
