Oh god, it’s worse than the porn bots.
Capitalists.
I wonder if the reason the trawler-man loves carpenter so much is because he has utterly consumed her life. Not willingly and not as a physical sacrifice, but because he has taken every aspect of her life and inevitably wretches any sense of control she has. Gods need to be fed, and the trawler-man has its fingers gripped into everything she knows
not spoilers but holy shit the intro song to silt verses season 3. they know what theyre doing

creativity is overrated i need to pick through all my old bad art that i mercifully didnt delete and use those ideas as a template
I wasn’t going to derail the disability pride month post for people with peanut allergies but in relation to that topic
I have never seen another allergy that has been so viscerally hated and mocked by people working in education like nut allergies. I’ve seen fellow teachers cringe that their classroom was the “nut free” classroom that year. Support staff that are trained and willfully don’t follow cross contamination protocol in the lunchroom because it’s too “tedious” or “time-consuming”. Full preschools + childcare centers that refuse to accommodate nut allergies. Schools where the only free lunch is a PB&J. Before/after school programs and summer programs whose food curriculum has nuts and doesn’t provide an alternative activity.
Allergy discrimination is so so insidious and prevalent. It’s happening behind their back and it is everything from the exposure joke to possibly causing someone to go into anaphylaxis from willful ignorance.
Also other parents in the classroom are guilty too. The “not my child not my problem” brain rot means that those lunchboxes are like bombs for airborne exposure allergies
I was not downplaying this. The stigma is real, and people are 100% willing to let people with allergies die.
This woman was laughed at for asking for allergy accommodations at multiple points in her trip, and was denied to the point that she was practically told she’d be refused care in the event of anaphylaxis.
I work in healthcare. I cannot get my coworkers to consistently change their gloves after handling a PBJ. They literally do not think of it, and I don’t understand why. I also don’t know how to make it stick in their brains that this is a thing they need to do.
I grew up in the early 2000s with severe allergies to not just peanuts, but ALL nuts as well as beef, pork, shelfish, seeds, kiwi, and some food dyes. The resistance that my family faced from educators in the early 2000s is frankly bananas, not to mention the shit other parents and kids got up to.
When my mom tried to enroll me in preschool, the school principal refused any basic accommodations like asking everyone to wash their hands after lunch before re-entering the classroom, not bringing straight up peanuts to snack time, etc. There was no such thing as a nut free classroom at the time. The principal told my mom and me (I was 4 at the time and definitely in the room when this happened) “if she’s so sick, she belongs in a bubble, not at school.” THE FUCKING PRINCIPAL! My mom had to threaten legal action under the ADA to get them to comply.
Look, I was on a 504 accommodation plan under the ADA for the entirety of my formative education (elementary thru high school). That’s all 12 years!!! And yet I have had teachers hand me items I’m allergic to as a “reward”. I have had other kids intentionally try to send me into anaphylaxis. One girl in 3rd grade asked me why I “wasn’t dead yet” when she had put on a lotion with almonds in it and then held my hand. I’ve had other parents write letters to the school saying what a terrible inconvenience it was to them to not be able to send their kiddo to school with PB&J, demanding I be Removed to a special education only class if my “needs” were such a “burden” to others. During elementary school “parties” held in the classroom on holidays and for student birthdays, I was always sent to sit out in the hallway or go to the library, because even though parents were only supposed to bring safe foods into the room (they had a list of all my allergies) they never once got it right. Administrators fought me tooth and nail for the right to carry my epi pen and other meds on my person at all times. Why they thought I would start dealing benadryl on the playground, I do not know. At lunch, I was always sat at a specific segregated table labeled the “Nut Free Table” alone because who the fuck is going to sit there with the literally segregated outcast? But ONCE notably I was sat on one side of a line of blue masking tape down the table top with the rest of my class on the other. One side was the NUTS side!!! As if allergens would respect that tape barrier. (Spoiler alert: they do NOT!)
Literally from preschool to my senior year of high school, I was “the peanut kid”. Other parents gave my mom books about how to “cure your child’s food allergies from HOME” by micro dosing with things they are allergic to (please never ever ever even attempt anything like a food challenge with a known allergen outside of the care and supervision of a medical professional, holy shit that’s so dangerous). My mom joined the PTA in my last year of high school so that I could maybe participate in all the senior-focused events like pool parties and breakfast at school on the first Friday of the month. The number of times another parent either (a) decided it wasn’t worth it to care or (b) intentionally brought peanut products to an event to spite either me or my mom??? I literally could not count. It happened constantly.
College was better, but I still occasionally had people BALK when I asked them to please not eat a Nature Valley bar with whole nuts in it right the fuck next to me in lecture, thanks. Work parties and catered lunches were always impossible. A few conferences I went to as an undergrad were SUPPOSED to be nut-free, but always fucked up the catering. At one, they set up snack tables by every exit of the conference auditorium so that when people left after the talk, they all congregated around the exits and opened macadamia nut cookies and granola bars. When I had subsequently had a massive allergic reaction and needed help getting home (I’d walked) after taking like 200mg of benadryl, the staff offered me a stack of napkins and a lukewarm apology.
Food allergy is a disability which touches literally every aspect of a person’s life. Everytime I share with someone new about what it was like growing up with my allergies, they have never heard anything like it in their lives. They’re always like “holy shit, seriously??? People did that??? Kids tried to kill you??? Parents wanted you kicked out of the classroom????” Yeah, man. Yeah. My own brother (who doesn’t have any allergies at all) doesn’t understand why I don’t “eat more adventurously” and why I won’t travel internationally. So, saying it REALLY LOUDLY for people in the back:
FOOD ALLERGY IS A DISABILITY FOR WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS ACCOMMODATIONS AND HAVE THEM TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
This is a long post and im an art blog but this REALLY got a reaction out of me and I feel the need to make an addition.
I agree 100% with the original poster, but I need to point out this: Do not use the terms “nuts” and “peanuts” interchangeably. It’s so important that, when discussing allergens, you be specific. ESPECIALLY with peanuts and tree-nuts because this mistake can be fatal.
To get into it more, “nuts” (in a semi-botanical term, because classifications start to break down once you really get into it, but it’s relevant enough for this discussion) refer to tree-nuts, which include almonds, pecans, cashews, etc. Peanuts are not tree nuts, despite the name. Peanuts are legumes.
Let me be clear: Someone can be allergic to both tree-nuts and peanuts. Someone can be allergic to certain kinds of tree-nuts and not others as well as peanuts. But the important situation in this case is someone can be allergic to tree-nuts and not peanuts, or peanuts and not tree-nuts. But when you say “allergic to nuts,” it’s a coin flip to determine which “-nut” the general public wants to assume one’s allergic to.
In my experience as someone with a tree-nut allergy and not a peanut allergy, a couple things can happen if I say “I have a nut allergy:”
- The person I tell assumes I mean tree-nut allergy, not a peanut allergy, and assumes correctly.
- The person I tell assumes I mean peanut allergy, not a tree-nut allergy, and assumes incorrectly.
- The person I tell assumes I mean both peanut and tree-nut allergy.
But I don’t say “I have a nut allergy,” because that isn’t specific enough for the VAST majority of people. Most people do NOT know that peanuts are legumes and “nuts” refers to the botanical nuts, ie generally tree-nuts. In fact, in my experience, many (if not most) people that I’ve had this interaction with assume that I mean “peanut” when I say “nuts.”
As I get to this point, let me be clear that this rant is not directed towards folk with peanut allergies. We all suffer under the same system that turns a blind eye to our disabilities until it becomes an issue, and then we’re pushed around for it. This rant is directed towards the lack of education for the general public and those in medical services.
Because instead, to avoid confusion, I explicitly say “I have a tree-nut allergy.” And in response, these are things that happen:
- The person I tell knows that there is a difference between tree-nuts and peanuts. Maybe not explicitly what the difference is, but that there is a separation between tree-nuts and peanuts.
- The person I tell does not know that there is a difference between tree-nuts and peanuts, but just assumes that “peanuts” are part of “tree-nuts” and avoids them as well.
- The person I tell does not know that there is a difference between tree-nuts and peanuts, and assumes that tree-nuts means peanuts. I often find this out because they refer to my allergy as a “peanut allergy,” and I need to explain the difference to them.
- The person I tell hears the word “tree-nut allergy” and registers it was “peanut allergy.” This is especially prevalent in medical settings, where I need to actively and consistently correct them that I’m allergic to tree-nuts and not peanuts.
Which isn’t a big deal, right? Well, I mean, it kind of is, considering the mix-up can kill me and all that, but I’ve grown up with this. I’ve gotten used to being explicit in explaining the difference between peanuts and tree-nuts, and that, no, I’m not allergic to peanuts, I’m allergic to tree-nuts, you can’t just write down “no peanut butter” because I’m NOT allergic to peanut butter.
Oh, no. The worst part about this are the people who want to fight me on the topic. Who want to argue that peanuts are tree-nuts, after all, why would they be called peanuts, huh? And no, peanuts can’t be legumes, that’s stupid, they’re called peanuts. And it doesn’t make much of a difference, anyway, peanuts and tree-nuts are the same thing, so you’re making a big deal out of nothing and should just agree you have a peanut allergy. See, the other people in the room agree with me, so you, the one with the allergy, must be wrong!
Correcting medical staff on my allergy is annoying, sure, but whatever, it’s on my medical record and I can actively make sure it’s corrected. But the random fucking people, be it teachers, adults, peers, whatever, who just absolutely try and fight me on my own allergy and explain what I am and am not allergic to are the WORST. Because not only are they uneducated about the topic, but they’re strong-arming the intuition of “well, peanuts are called nuts, so they must be nuts.”
It was, by far, the worst when I was a child and trying to advocate for myself. It sucks not only being talked down to by your peers but the overseeing adult as well for trying to explain that it’s not a peanut allergy, it’s a tree-nut allergy, and I’m not allergic to peanuts because they’re legumes. It stopped as I got older because I simply stopped eating out with friends and only ate food that I cooked for myself.
I’m sure this is a long tangent that either falls on deaf ears or is preaching to the choir, but for the love of god, please don’t use the catchall “nut allergy.” Be specific if it’s tree-nuts or peanuts, or both. Because the ambiguous wording leaves room for interpretation and assumptions based on intuition that, ultimately, aren’t correct.
With that said, let me be clear: this isn’t to say if everyone specified what they were allergic to, suddenly everything would be fine. It wouldn’t. The people educated about this difference are largely people who have the allergies, know people who do, and/or are in positions where its required in their training. The lack of education otherwise is a systematic issue.
This response is not meant in any way to invalidate anything said here. Much the opposite, actually. This is a great post discussing issues and treatment regarding food allergies. I just felt like it would be a good learning opportunity to add on to it by discussing the vocabulary surrounding food allergies, specifically peanuts and tree-nuts. It’s an issue MUCH larger than “dont say nut allergy,” but that’s what prompted me to write this, because the wording is very much inherently tied to the lack of general public education surrounding the topic for me.
