Furs and top hats were de rigeur for the audience at opening night of the Metropolitan Opera's 52nd season, December 21, 1936. The elegant crowd heard Wagner's Die Walküre, starring Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior, with Artur Bodanzky conducting.

not to be insane on main but: I wish there was more discussion/understanding/whatever around like. aroallos (like me!) who want the sex/physical affection to be a PART of the friendship. like fwb but the benefits are baked into the friendship. part of this friendship is we make out just like how trading fanfic recs is a part of it. UNFORTUNATELY for so many ppl that description is what a ROMANTIC relationship is and UNFORTUNATELY having that situation framed as romantic makes me want to die and throw up💕

anyways @ the other aros who are in the same or similar boat as me I feel u or wagever

As a v tired medical student, I am so sorry for that bullshit. How in the CUCK do you tell someone they have soft tissue tumor and not (at the very least) have them do an MRI before skipping to a biopsy are you even joking (operating right next to the clot doesnt worry me as much as the extremely invasive procedure done without one single unit of follow up exam, absolute clownery)

Right? I had an ekg and a CT scan done then he did a pelvic exam (no medical instruments, no ultrasound, just hands, ugh) which hurt like fucking hell because I had a giant blood clot right there, and I have an insane pain tolerance so if I’m squirming in pain and yelling it’s bad. That’s all he needed to diagnose stage four cancer apparently.

The upstairs doctor (dunno the technical term, the one who misdiagnosed me was an ER doc) definitely gave me the vibe he had doubts about his colleague but wasn’t going to badmouth him in front of me. Thank goodness he ordered the pelvic ultrasound. I don’t even fully remember how I was told it wasn’t cancer but I swear they did it by handing me the breakfast menu because I wasn’t going under the knife and thus could eat finally.

(Thankfully I did get an mri, 2 days after the “cancer” diagnosis to better see the blood clot. I kept falling asleep and they kept having to wake me back up because I twitch if I’m sleeping on my back lol)

F/O: I'm cold.

S/I: Here, take my jacket.

S/I: I'm cold.

F/O, all nice and cozy in S/I's jacket: I can't control the weather, S/I.

A spectacular fire on Riverside Drive near Grant's Tomb on the night of December 21, 1928, badly damaged the $2 million Riverside Church under construction to replace the Park Avenue Baptist Church. The exterior of the church, a neo-Gothic structure, was almost complete when the fire occurred.

ive been thinking lately about if i didn't watch the jaiden animations video (who else had their awakening with that lmao) when i would have put together that something was not right.

i have had several friends where i have genuinely considered if it was a crush and i wonder if i had a little less information about myself, i might have taken it at face value and called it a crush even though with just a little further thought about it i would have very quickly realised, no its not a crush i just havent made any new friends in a while lmao

yeah i've made a few friends this academic year and a couple times I had to stop myself before I convinced myself I had a crush

being part of dog health fb groups is great because it really broadens your horizons and gives a lot of context across breeds and teaches a lot of nuance in interpretation

and sometimes it lets you go 'holy heck im not in your breed but if i were i wouldnt touch ur programme w a 10 foot pole and a kite'

oh your alien stage biases are the girl who lost a family member to a brutal death and is being constantly recorded even on her video thumbnail and keeps up a cheerful goofball fuckgirl personality despite being Very Willing To Commit Violence so she can hide ptsd flashbacks, and the boy who was torn from his family as a kid and only managed to endure abuse by picking the most conventionally attractive person possible to have a hero-worship crush on? cool! who did you say your favorite dn character was again
