Despite starting off as a joke mocking critical theory, the Swole Acceptance movement quickly realized that there was legitimate grievance against weak privilege. From being groped to being called meatheads to being accused of being drug users, the so-called swole, be they cisswole or transswole, have realized the joke is more serious than they thought.

Accompanying this is another joke, a Discordianesque "religion" called Brodinism, which is acknowledged as a joke but still used as a source of wisdom and solidarity. So, to sum up: Swole Acceptance is not a joke, except when it is; and Brodinism is a joke, except when it is not.

Zinc and Vitamin C, both antioxidants, are very beneficial to health and immune function. The problem is, both of these nutrients interfere with the absorption of copper and iron. Copper and iron are beneficial to the body as oxidants. Thus, consumption of one comes at the expense of the other. This is known as the copper paradox.

Argyria is a medical condition wherein ingestion of quasi-medical silver compounds causes the skin to turn blue-grey. This discoloration corresponds to silver deposits in the skin. As silver is a generally nontoxic substance, argyria is physically harmless, although the permanent disfigurement can have profound psychological effects. There are more than a few famous cases of argyria.

I've only skimmed this book, but my bet is that it doesn't tell you much about how to cope with an 270 foot tank of burning gasoline. It almost certainly doesn't go into detail about boilover, when water at the bottom of a tank of burning crude oil boils and causes a steam explosion. Williams Fire and Hazard's web site is one place to look for expertise. Don't miss magazines like Industrial Fire World or Industrial Fire Journal, either.

The xylitol faq in a nutshell: Xylitol, a sweetener primarily rendered from birch pulp, is undigestible by most mouth bacteria. It has the same sweetness per calorie as sucrose. It increases saliva pH above its normal 7.0, precipitating the absorption of calcium by tooth enamel. The World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration agree that it's a safe sweetener. It even can reduce your chance of getting ear and throat infections. It has no icky aftertaste, and it doesn't leave nasty residue in your brain. It's not even a sugar! So why in the nine billion names of God can't you get xylitol gum in a random U.S. grocery store? For crying out loud, people, even Canadians have this stuff!

Polythelia is the medical term for having more than two nipples. It can occur in men and women, and the extra nipples are usually vertically aligned with the normal two, despite how they are portrayed in the movies. They were long thought to be the mark (or Marky Mark) of a witch, but they can now be safely removed to avoid being burned at the stake. Eventually I found two pages with somewhat dubious statistics about polythelia, but the best information about it for a layperson such as myself can be found at Nerve.

May 6th is International No Diet Day, a day designed to encourage people to stop hating their bodies and loving themselves as they are, fat or thin. Despite popular belief, fat people are not created by overeating nor do we eat more than thin people. Yet we fat folk are constantly told by the media and medical folk that being fat is bad and we have to diet or die. From the US to as far away as Australia research repeatedly shows that dieting doesn't work, that there is no proof that losing weight makes you healthier, that health and long life comes from exercise and being fit, no matter what you weigh, and that the world's obsession with being thin is encouraging eating disorders in the young. Celebrations of INDD around the world range from simple gatherings to activism at it's finest at the Annual Scale Smashing held by the fat activists in Washington state who call themselves SeaFATtle (their motto: "Raising Consciousness or Raising Hell"). Whatever you do, I encourage you to give up dieting, at least for the day, and instead read some enlightening material or visit some online info and activism sites and learn why FAT is not a four letter word.
