Omfg....... I figured out how I'm gonna do my impending plot twist for ITNL.... which I had a vague idea of before, but rereading those trimax volumes made me think about it again... and now I KNOW........

I'm feeling actually excited about ITNL again. I still need to reread it, & I still wanna go thru and reply to old comments like I'd originally planned, BUT... well, if I'm motivated, that hopefully won't actually take that long to do. If I Stay Motivated, I could try to finally get working on ITNL chapter 20. Finally.

I know I haven't said much about it, but legitimately, "running away" was one of the most pivotal life decisions I've ever made. Probably THE first major life decision I've made, and also the best. If you have an opportunity to go, leave. Get out of there. If you are not safe at home, emotionally, physically, whatever, and you're able to leave, do it. It's going to suck such major ass for a while because you're going to have to deal with the scars they've left on you, but I wholeheartedly, full-throatedly, with-my-chest promise you that it is going to be better. You're going to be better. If you have the privilege of being able to escape, no matter how difficult it feels, then RUN.

unpopular opinion: don’t give writers shit for not stating “x fem reader”, instead look up specific tags for what you want e.g. x gender neutral reader or x male reader

Hey y'all! I have to preface this two-part question by saying it is not based on something I am currently experiencing, but something that happened years ago 1. Can anaphylaxis cause low blood sugar? 2. How bad is a blood sugar level in the 40s? Again, based on something from years ago, not now (just in case someone skipped the first paragraph) Like, I understand that that's very low blood sugar and is bad but idk how bad? At the time it happened I was at an urgent care and, uh, not tracking what was happening super well (both the things definitely happened at the same time, but I am unsure if they were related things)

[sycamorality]

ive never had as much fun drawing as i am right now, unapologetically being bad at what i'm learning to draw and just learning by doing and trying to imitate what i've seen in life without ever using references

Everyplate unboxing

I did the Everyplate offer again! Seriously, guys--I'm not trying to be, like, a corporate shill here, but if you do their introductory offer and then immediately cancel, they will beg to give you the introductory offer again. And again. And again. I've done it like six times, all with the same credit card/address/etc. They've even started adding bonus offers--this time I got an extra meal and a packet of steak for $1.

If you live in the US, have a credit card, and like cooking, you should probably do it, is what I'm saying. All you have to do is remember to cancel it when the box arrives.

Here's the box:

It's a nice box, with a corrugated/reflective lining for temperature regulation. It's sturdy enough that you can re-use it (and the ice-packs that you get) as a little picnic cooler several times.

Here's inside the box:

Everything's just kind of jumbled in there, so you have to unpack it and sort out what goes with each meal. I've been doing the 6 meals/2 servings plan the last few times (the first few times I did 3 meals/4 servings), and with the extra meal offer this time I got 2 servings each of 7 meals. (You can get a smaller number of meals, but the shipping is a flat $11 no matter how many you get. If you pay attention when you're choosing which recipes you want, you can easily stretch the box out over 2 weeks--pick some things with vegetables that keep well, like carrots and so forth, and put the meat component in the freezer.)

Chicken stir-fry and dijon mustard steak:

With their stir-fries, I like to add some extra vegetables; I made this one last night and put in carrots and some more peppers, and it ended up being more like 3 servings than 2. The other one is originally a pork-chops recipe, but I'm going to do it with my free steak instead; I'm planning to have it tomorrow.

Shepherd's pie and linguine:

These two I'm putting aside for next week--I put the ground beef in the freezer, and everything else should be OK.

Sweet-potato hash and sausage flatbreads:

The sweet potato hash is also for next week. I made the flatbreads today. It was a little more complicated than I thought--they have you making a white sauce from scratch; I had to go out and buy milk--but it was really good!

Cherry pork chops/chicken:

They do a lot of recipes that are chicken or pork chops with some sort of fruit jam--I've done apricot and fig ones; this one has cherry jam. Since I ordered two meals that came with pork chops (this one and the dijon mushroom one) I swapped one set of pork chops for chicken, but then I also got the $1 steak, so I have an extra packet of meat; once I decide which one I want to have, I'll put the other one in the freezer.

I paid, like, $35 for all this food. I don't really understand why it's worth it to them to keep sending me this introductory offer when I have never bought a single full-price box, but they keep sending me emails asking me to please consider letting them send me a big box of food that they cannot possibly be making any money on, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I will oblige them.

'There are other ways to strike other than striking' is such a WEIRD message, I cannot get past this.

[lumpsbumpsandwhumps]

(in regards to lady whump discourse) i love when the wolves come out of the woodwork to make 5 page long responses about they're tried of people crying about xyz inclusivity. y'all really had nothing to say in support of it the entire time you've been here, but suddenly you've got an essay prepped to defnd yourself against an accusation no one made against you?

[[just to make clear, i totally agree with you about wanting more lady whump in ALL whump roles, its jusst so stupid to me people would rather waste their time and energy to reply "there is lady whump youre just stupid" instead of, i dunno, making more lady whump?]]

man I saw someone reblog one of my lady whump posts with some novella of an argument against me, thought "damn i'm not reading all that lmao", blocked them, and started watching a youtube iceberg chart video essay

you can block people for having shit takes (mine included). It may take years of therapy and repeatedly crying myself to sleep to know that I have upset five (5) strangers on the internet, but I promise, one day, I will get over it...

The hill I will die on is that CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is just gaslighting and should absolutely not be the "default" mode of therapy

[aspiringhorrorauthor]

Just read a post about how you shouldn’t trust a doctor who rushes you and like, yes I fully understand the frustration, so here’s what you can do to stop yourself being rushed:

-ask for a double appointment

-ask for a triple appointment

-fuck it ask for an hour long appointment if you think it’ll help

-be outright about what you want/need from an appointment. If you need more time to process information, say that. If you need the doctor to write out all information, say that. If you have a complex case/long history, say that!

-list all the reasons why you want to see the doctor/vet that day and please don’t sugar coat it. “Been vomiting” is a ten minute fix. “Been vomiting after every meal for the past two years” is not. It needs a double appointment and possibly a referral too.

Doctors and vets are overworked to fuck and exploited to hell. Help us out a little, please
