Man, this 151st one really hits different. 😁

Sure, I nailed it this time, but honestly? I’ve probably cranked out over twenty posts that didn't even make the official count.

Got a quick ban, back now, but my post count is totally stuck. I’m sitting at a flat 150. This one was supposed to be 151, but nope—looks like I'm just stuck on 150 forever.

Anyone know why?

1. Elephantism Elephantism

Elephantism Elephantism is caused by a parasitic worm spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites someone, it injects a worm larva into the bloodstream that multiplies and spreads, staying in the system for years. You might not even see symptoms until a year after the bite, but once they hit, you get these swollen, deformed limbs because the parasite messes with your circulation and causes fluid buildup. It hits about 120 million people worldwide, with 40 million suffering pretty badly.

Any reputable shop in town would give you the exact same advice. 🤷
Sure, there’s a chance everything goes fine and the ink stays perfect, but you can never account for the "what ifs." A friend of mine had a minor infection after a session, and what should have been a simple ten-day healing process turned into a month-long nightmare of skin issues.

Knee surgery. Yeah, you're right, things could definitely get messy. Thanks. I'll give the shop a call.

And all because I put it off. :/

Got my tattoo session tomorrow, but I won't have my MRI results back until Monday, so I'm still totally in the dark on when the surgery actually happens. If the whole tattoo aftercare thing takes about ten days, and they end up scheduling the surgery in, say, twenty days, would that still be considered safe?

The first time I saw it, the movie really hit home, but by the second viewing, it just wasn't the same. I'm definitely not rushing to watch it a third time. The soundtrack is great—lots of The Smiths and Regina Spektor—but the whole thing is starting to get on my nerves. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is as charming as ever, but the girl is just incredibly grating. I think I saw a critic tearing it apart on a major US news site today.🤣

Personally, I wouldn't pay even 20-$10 for something like this.☕

The guy’s actually brilliant, though. Honestly, that movie is one of the best in its genre—it absolutely wrecked me by the end.

But... "Hello, I'am Autumn..." 😂

So, I’ve got a tattoo session booked in two days, which is coincidentally right when my MRI results should be coming in. Quick question: if those scans look bad and they end up recommending surgery, am I still cleared to go under the knife if I have fresh ink? Thanks!
