    migrained laughter

    unfortunately for me, everytime I've ever had a migraine I've always needed to just... have a lay down. with a pillow wrapped around my head.

    Yep. Light and sound sensitivity out the fucking wazoo. I have to seal myself in a dark, quiet room and wrap myself up like a cocoon just to have a chance at falling asleep to sleep it off. And half the time I just have to spend 8-12 waking hours of pain in my protective chrysalis before I have to emerge to get something to eat/drink.

    Brain being simultaneously crushed and stabbed and burned and all I want is ice on my forehead and to not exist til the pain is gone

    My migraines don’t necessarily hurt at the beginning so they start out by making me very confused and a bit loopy

    Why do they call it the slammer?

    My best guess is because they slam the door of your cell on you

    Its because when they throw you in the cell they shout "go and and SLAM! And welcome to the JAM!"

    If it's not within 50km of Paris, it's le slammer, otherwise it's just sparkling Gaul.

    See, in the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon, they were constantly jumping between the Mushroom Kingdom and the real world, so lots of episodes were about them visiting new countries and such.

    I believe there was an episode in Venice where Mario and Luigi were revealed to be the founders of Italy.

    The joke is (in part) that traditional naming conventions that the Academy mandates are dumb like that, but they care more about tradition (and ethnonationalism, but that’s a separate thing) than they do functionality

    wrong again, it's "français" here, unless you say "de langue française" ("of french language"), aren't gendered languages fun ?

    (yes, it's bullshit, there is no reliable rule and you have to trip on each and every word until you learn which is which)
