If you mix tumeric powder with olive oil it makes a paste that you can put on the bite a couple times for like an hour. It is an anti-inflammatory and over a couple days should help pain and swelling.
I think garlic has similar effects too!

On taterhole’s suggestion! For pain relief and general goodness. I’ve just used some on my painful neck and it is soothing. Like a milder tiger balm that doesn’t stain your clothes! The bottle is so cute, I’m gonna carry it everywhere and always smell of menthol and lavender.

Diluted with a carrier oil or (I know this is bad) just full-on applied by itself to your abdominal area. I also use it for headaches bug bites and when I’m sick (either under my nose or dabbed on the shower walls in a hot shower for aromatherapy)… it really really helps.
Also heat, magnesium supplements, maybe some kind of low-thc product. I also love California poppy tincture but it has the same constipating effect that opiates have 🤡

I use a warm compress on anything that hurts and most of the time it does the trick (20min on, 20min off). Much more emotionally comforting than a cold compress but do what feels best!

I love that this is becoming more mainstream in recent years. It makes these animals vastly more interesting and complex than they already were. The connection between dinosaurs and birds feels all the more meaningful and apparent, and opens the door to interpreting their behavior and dynamics- we have their living relatives today to learn from. Also, it is cute.

Physical cosmology is my favorite bundle of pages to dive into on wikipedia; the articles are so dense with math that I don’t understand and theories that are so weird and out-there. It reminds me that I don’t know everything, and that there is so so much to know and learn about and so much more out there that has yet to be discovered.
Some highlights for me are The Ultimate Fate of the Universe, which is about theories on how the universe will end, and the Shape of the Universe, which seems like a silly thing to question but is actually a really complicated topic. It makes you think about geometry and space in a different way, and kind of breaks your brain a little bit.
