"You shouldn't be back to work this early." - my spinal surgeon, my follow up specialist, my gp, random dude on the sidewalk... *me posting from work due to no sick days*

A RETURN POST-POST SURGERY! Guys, this one was gonna be #historical but became... delicious! I LOOOOVE discovering new good and #Watalappam is now on my food-cket list! Have you had this!? I need reviews! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #travel #foodie #SriLanka #geography

I'm 2% closer to becoming a cyborg y'all!! My type 1 diabetic ass using robotics to maintain control plus some crazy cool looking hardware to stabilize my long ago broken neck, equals me being the next #terminator. I'm sorry. Fate is sealed. Seriously, how metal does that shit look 🤣 pun intended

Oh do I love me some #mythology! Proudly geekin on demigod shenanigans! #Heracles or #Hercules lost a man on a voyage, but it was cool because #nymphs stole him and then there was a city named after him. I'm paraphrasing here.. Read about Gemlik! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #greece #gods

Ohh this was a really cool read into the #indigenous conflicts with fur traders! Further info spelunk'n led me to find out that it was THE hub for the Hudson Bay Company, "... was the oldest corp in North America founded in 1670.." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #firstnations #canada

Back to work a week after emergency surgery. ".. do nothing 4-6 weeks. No lifting, nothing,.. you will rupture your sutures, bleed out, and you WILL die." - doc No sick days left 😪 So exhausted. Would kill for a fucking smoothie. Only thing feels good to eat but $$ of course. I owe millions now..

Miss the beard, don't miss the nerve pain. Incision is looking great. Clean bandages the last 4 changes i think is a great sign. Muscles are still weak af. Doc said he worked my neck over hard grinding away all the bone spurs n the fusion. Obvi, stabbed in the throat pain, but otherwise I'm good.

I LOVE finding places named in absolute mockery of their more aptly named peer. Places such as The Great Canyon, or this one: "The island(Big Diomede) is almost a day ahead of Little Diomede Island because they are separated by the International Date Line.." 🤣 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #geo #fact

So not bad! Zero leakage or bleeding upon bandage changes. Cannot stress enough how weird not being in pain is. It freaks me out. Like I have a pressure pain on my neck and an obvious you got stabbed in the throat pain but no nerve pain. 30 years of it, then nothing..

Neck collar chronicles: day..4?.. it's all starting to blur. Shower imminent due to excessive ass stank. Bandage reapplication immediate. Documenting dope ass scars for imperial records.

It's so weird. Absolutely indescribable how i went from 30 years of constant, unrelenting nerve pain to zero. I would spend nights awake freezing because a sheet felt heavy and painful on my skin. I would be nuclear hot or freezing cold, sometimes simultaneously. Fuck I would kill for a smoothie.

Welp, humans are terrible... ".. #Nuclear tests were conducted on and around Kiritimati by the UK in the late 1950s, and by the US in 1962... the island was not evacuated, exposing the residents and the #British, #NewZealand, and #Fijian servicemen to nuclear radiation." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #wth

Graphic warning! 1/2 I broke my neck when I was 8ish failing to do a backflip. My parents no blood no guts don't wanna hear about it rule was pretty strong so I never got treated. 30 years later i have bone spurs and growth pinching off my nerves.

"Nordlaguna" a lagoon on a Nordic island.. nailed it. This place is remote. Like REMOTE, remote. "The easiest and most common way to visit is through an arctic expedition, specially approved by the Norwegian government." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #seclusion #freezing #geography #biology #volcano

Ohh cool one! (pun not intended) Led me to read of the #Thule people, then the #Dorset, and finally the #Pre-Dorset.. 4,000 years of migrating.. wild. It continually amazes me how hardy our #ancestors were. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #geography #canada #alaska #arctic #inuit #ancient

Silly #pirates never stood a chance against this majesty of a tower! The #canaryislands look like a crazy beautiful place. No wonder the pirates went mad over it! New word as well on this one: Bartizan 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #spain #geography #towerdefense #sea #cannon #travel

Guys they misplaced the Wall of Jerusalem!😆 "..many places and features within the park also have #Biblical references for names, such as Herods Gate,.. Damascus Gate, the Pool of Bethesda." Pool of Bethesda.. that in #Skyrim or #Morrowind lore? 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #tasmania #lostandfound

#Birds man... So the Bearded Vulture, who's home range includes the Picos de Europa National Park in #spain which was established in 1918, was done dirty by his mug shot LOOK AT THAT FACE! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #geography #ornithology #nationalpark #biology #ecology #nature #europe

🤣 It's been a lukewarm min y'all.. Camiri looks like a crazy beautiful place but with, "..intense xerophilic overgrowth." Guys! A ZEROPHILE is not what you think it is.. or not what i thought it was. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #history #geography #bolivia #southamerica #hawki #education #fact #ecology

Ugh I need a coffee ☕️. Anyone wanna venmo a brother out? 🤣🙏

So i just found out I have a very serious neck surgery coming up. I've got a lot in my plate, but #HAWKI will persist! Posting may become sporadic but never fear,.. well maybe as lil bit.. I'm in great hands and will be able to complete my transition to cyborg sooner than I'd planned.

History, no matter how mundane to most, will be endlessly fascinating to a few. I built hawki.app for pretty much that exact purpose! Shameless plug: @hawkiapp.bsky.social if you wanna check out what it is. No pressure, just historical facts presented in a nice visual w/ my snarky comments 😆

Running a fowl today.......... 🤣 Finding my way into a lot of #bird based stuff today, and I'm not sad about it! Also new word: #caatinga Expanding that Etymological Empowerment! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #geography #brazil #education #fact #dadjoke

Howdy fact nerds! #Facterds I'm calling you so deal with it.. I'll keep doing what I'm doing but if you wanna support what I'm doing, I'd love a coffee! 🤣 www.venmo.com/u/hawkiapp

#Ornithologists are as interesting a breed as the 🐥 🐦 they name.. 🤣 "a Little bee-eater" 🤣 And then the #Dendrologists get, "Often called sausage tree, it grows a fruit that is up to 60 centimetres (24 in) long, weighs about 5-10 kilograms (11-22 lb)"🤣 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #africa #nature

Can you imagine 10% of the people in your town just gone?.. Such a tragedy and vital lesson! "..100% of its public institutional buildings, were built under #seismic safety regulations. This leaves almost a third of houses as non-seismic-resistant." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #earthquake

So it went like this: Borden Island, #Canada 30th largest 👍 -> Robert Borden, a contentious figure in Canadian #history 🤷‍♂️ -> The Halifax Explosion that killed nearly 1,800 people..😳..

1. Mica is a really cool and interesting #mineral which made a cool alternative for expensive glass in the 1600s. 2. This was basically a forced labor camp. Humans can suck a good deal of the time.. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #mining #geology #russia #politics #mining #geography #fact

I will never understand #racism. I don't even care if it was "of the time." There were people who knew it was wrong then, so no excuses! #Hate will never win! George Washington Carver was an amazing character in history btw 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #love #blackhistory #humanity #peace
