By growing it in the dark it means the rhubarb doesn’t place any energy and nutrition into growing leaves. So it puts everything into the edible stem and grows taller, more nutritious and tastier.
The candle light is just tradition. You could use electric lights if you wanted.
like obv i dont hold anything against ppl who dont reclaim slurs (i dont like being called queer btw, which is much more common, so yknow) but “achillean” is SO fucking stupid. a. its clearly someone ripping off ‘sapphic’ b. extremely white western (like im sure even actual modern day greeks cringe at this. ancient greeks wouldve called you all kinds of slurs) and c. a mythological war criminal does NOT fucking stand for me. lmao
also sorry but achilles wouldntve respected literally any of you. at least sappho wrote about love for women. youre self described “softboys” who have public mental breakdowns over trans women existing. your ass is NOT fit for battle lmfao
my favorite side effect warning is for antidepressants
pros: you won’t want to kill yourself
cons: you might want to kill yourself
Back when I was in a psychiatric hospital, and was offered antidepressants, my mother had declined them due to that apparent side effect. So the staff actually explained about this effect antidepressants have, that give reason to that warning. When first taking antidepressants they raise up your energy first. So that you have the energy to do the tasks you might have avoided doing due to your depression. Because of this those who were already suicidal, now have the energy to go do so. Which is the ones this warning is given for. It’s not that a side effect of antidepressants magically makes you want to kill yourself, it’s the energy it gives those who were already struggling with suicidal issues, to actually attempt the act.
Very informative…
Wow. I’m so glad you explained that. Now I understand
My high school choir/psych teacher actually told is about this. She also said if you have a suicidal friend who starts seeming like they might be getting better because they have more energy, that’s the time to be cautious because that’s when they may still be suicidal but they’ll actually have the energy to go through with it
THIS. a thousand times THIS. I had it explained to me in my AP psychology class in high school. super fucking important.
