TIL that after a terrible car accident that put Mel Blanc (voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc.) into a coma, the only thing that woke him up was one of Blanc’s neurologists that asked, “Bugs Bunny, how are you doing today?” He replied, “Myeeeeh. What’s up doc?”

This further proves that Bugs Bunny is more powerful than God and is not a force to be reckoned with

“One day, about 14 days after the accident, one of Blanc’s neurologists walked into the room and tried something completely new. He went to Mel’s bed and asked, “Bugs Bunny, how are you doing today?”

There was a pause while people in the room just shook their heads. Then, in a weak voice, came the response anyone would recognize.

“Myeeeeh. What’s up doc?”

The doctor then asked Tweety if he was there too.

“I tot I taw a puddy tat,” was the reply. It took seven more months in a body cast for Blanc to recover. He even voiced Barney Rubble in the first episodes of The Flintstoneswhile lying in bed with a microphone dangling from above.

The Radio Lab piece includes excerpts from an episode of This is Your Life when Blanc’s doctor tried to explain how he revived his patient. 

“It seemed like Bugs Bunny was trying to save his life,” was all he could say.

Radio Lab features another neurologist’s opinion: Blanc was such a hard-working professional that his characters lived, protected from the brain injury, deep in his unconscious mind. The doctor’s question must have sounded like a director’s cue. Essentially, “Mr. Blanc, you’re on.””

Bugs Bunny is a chaos deity and should not be underestimated.

i love that one old timey 1910s trans dude who has a tiny wikipedia page for himself that he earned entirely due to him starting fights in bars and being the city’s hottest casanova

i mightve remembered it wrong but it still feels like half of this page is “I’m A Man For Fucks Sake” and the other half is “That Motherfucker Is In Jail Again And Also Bit A Cop”

oh my GOD this is the best list

“[DEADNAME] Again" “ 

Like this glorious jerk got arrested so many times that was literally ALL THEY HAD TO WRITE IN THE PAPER

He was a vagrant street kid and Seattle girls were all over this guy, to the point where it caused a moral panic. There’s a famous anecdote about a women proclaiming her love in Denny Park and then trying to shoot herself, but most of these reports were falsely worded in a way that suggest his female admirers were “upset about being deceived” when really they were upset that he was wooing other women, or trying to get his attention by being as extra as possible.

What you also should know is that back in the day “seduction” was a literal crime that could put you in prison (unless you married the woman you seduced) but since he wasn’t cis they couldn’t really CHARGE HIM with anything. Legend.

I especially like “Seattle Woman Appears in Men’s Clothes Because She Says Her Features Make it Possible.”  I can’t imagine anything but someone going “Hey!  You can’t dress like that!” and him responding “Oh yes I can.  You see, I look very good.”

I want a TV show about him

me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

them: 

@flipflibberinflippinghell

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

https://blackgirlsunscreen.com/ is Black-owned!

If you don’t want to use sunscreen, shea butter works as one.

Only if you want something with low spf. If you want something with a higher spf(like 30+) then you need sunscreen.

I’m a sunscreen junkie. The Japanese ones are the best. You can get them off Amazon…most have no white cast. And they are SPF 50. You have to do a little homework but there are plenty of inexpensive choices. Please don’t rely on an oil or shea butter. You’re playing yourself. If you Google skin cancer you won’t find any pictures of Black skin. Most dermatologists have no idea how to spot it because they aren’t trained. So do yourself a favor and wear it every day! Don’t let this lie about out magical melanin let you get caught out there without protection. I read that darker skin can have a natural SPF of 13 but that obviously isn’t sufficient enough since you need at least 30 to offer real protection. And the Japanese ones have UVB (protects against burning) and UVA (protects against premature aging) and are regulated better than the U.S. ones. And they are cosmetically better feeling.
