Pain management tips ?

I have awful cramps and I feel like I’ve tried everything I usually do. My cramps are always super painful but they’re just particularly bad this month. It’s pain everywhere. Aside from the abdominal pains it’s aching in my stomach and a sore lower back and then a sharp pain up my spine and down my thighs. It comes and goes in waves. I’ll be fine for hours and then they’ll come out of the blue. They were so bad last night I couldn’t concentrate on anything or sleep. Aside from the usual taking otc pain meds and hot soaks what do y’all do to manage pain ?

The possibility of Bartimaeus taking Nathaniel's form if the 4th book ever comes out is like one of my favourite things and my heart aches everytime i think about it but i find it hilarious if we talk about AliveNathaniel AU

I KNOW it would take him longer to take Nathaniel's form but just imagine

Bartimaeus appears in the form of this idiot who made a heroic sacrifice in order to save everyone leaving Bart thinking about all the "what ifs"..... just to see him ALIVE AND SAY "ME??" IN UNISON WITH BART'S "YOU??"

on the 6th of august i dreamt of two cars in specific angles crashing against a wall with a fence, then of esteban, pierre, charles, a man in a green suit (i couldn’t see his face), and max. there’s a moment i saw between two drivers i mentioned, however the topic is sensitive so i won’t say, but in conclusion, pierre won in a higher position than charles (it was a podium, but i couldn’t tell which number), and charles didn’t finish the race. charles stood watching pierre go up to the podium, and the rest of the celebration with max and the man in the green suit, champagne everywhere. he was sad and envious because he wishes that was him up there.

fast forward to the race weekend… oscar crashes into the wall, then daniel right after him in the same angle against the wall… then fast forward to the 27th of august… pierre finishes 3rd… and the man in the green suit whose face i couldn’t see? was alonso in 2nd… and charles? he dnf’d…

take this as you will, but there’s just some things we can’t explain

I don't know where to talk about this, mostly because I'm not actually ready to talk about it yet; but I had a huge blow up with half my family last night over asking them to get the latest COVID vaccine before they can meet my unborn child. I didn't think much about it before I sent them all a text, felt pretty standard.

"Please make sure you're up to date with your TDAP, anyone over 65 needs the RSV vaccine, and if you haven't gotten the COVID vaccine since September please be sure you get re-done."

My mom texted me first, saying she has no issue getting the RSV and TDAP, but she refused to get the COVID vaccine. I let her know it would be necessary and she shut down all further conversation by saying she guesses she won't be meeting her grandson then. My heart broke. This is the first child in my immediate family from myself or my siblings. My mom's first grandchild, she was supposed to come and stay with us after the birth to help. I didn't know how to respond.

Then my sister calls me, tells me she also won't be getting the new vaccine and how dare I ask that of her and the family. I'm flabbergasted; what's the problem I ask? Why are you so against it? She starts spewing all the anti-vaxxer propaganda about how it kills people and how unsafe it is. I try to explain to her about the data, and tests, and that I work (tangentially) in the medical field and I wouldn't ask her to do anything that would be unsafe. But she's not listening, doesn't want to listen. Eventually she just hangs up on me.

I'm completely distraught, my partner is sitting next to me also trying to make sense of what's just happened. My normally very tight knit family has just shut me down and cut me off.

Thank the gods for my brother, I message him about what's been going on and he reaches out to both my mom and my sister to try and get them to see reason. He's just as confused as I am by this whole sequence of events. My mom finally calls me and says she's spoken to a trusted friend who's a nurse, and another who's a pharmacist and she's willing to maybe consider getting the vaccine. But only after she's spoken with her doctor. Fine. It's progress, I'll take it. My sister texts and says she'll talk with her doctor as well, but that's it. She messaged this morning to apologize for how nasty she got on the phone, but it doesn't feel sincere.

I've just been crying on and off all morning as I try to come to terms with the fact that two of the people I considered myself closest to may not get to meet my son. And it hurts, so much.

I just needed a place to dump all this, I don't usually post here but I just really needed to get this out.

Okay, this is an important question I have to ask: should I make separate posts on the backstories of the Nocturnal Detectives, or should I make them into one post just to make it easier?

Hozier and the lead singer from Ghost have the same type of Daddy vibes but in different fonts.

Coming back to this and remembering when awards season was still feeling good, feeling right, in the Supporting Actress category.

Angela was robbed at the SAG Awards and Oscars. I'm still upset about it. (I'm deliberately not including the BAFTAs because I didn't watch The Banshees of Inisherin.)

I've watched both Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Everything Everywhere All at Once, twice now in fact, and I'm not sorry to say this: Jamie was *NOT* memorable in EEAAO. She was gone from the movie for stretches of time, that I actually forgot she was even in the movie a few times. The true stand-outs were Michelle, Ke, and Stephanie. The studio A24 should not have campaigned both Jamie and Stephanie for Supporting Actress; they should've just focused on campaigning and marketing and promoting Stephanie's performance for the category. In fact, Jamie being nominated totally froze out Filipina actress Dolly de Leon's performance in Triangle of Sadness and prevented her from getting nominated (Dolly was nominated at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Satellite Awards, but did not garner an Oscar nomination).

Meanwhile, Angela lived and breathed Queen Ramonda. You could feel her anguish and sorrow and frustration when she talks about how she's lost her entire family, how she's through with suffering so much loss in so little time. I'm not even a mother myself at this point, yet I still felt like I could relate to her. A lot of mothers could relate to her. My own mother said that she could relate to her. Angela carried that movie with all that emotion.

And that's not even getting into the more personal details: Jamie is White, a self-admitted nepo baby, and had never been nominated for an Oscar before. Angela is Black, doesn't come from an acting family, graduated from the Yale School of Drama, and had been nominated for an Oscar before but did not win for her Lead performance in What's Love Got to Do with It.

It's pretty obvious that one of the major reasons they voted for Jamie was because it was akin to a Consolation Award, an apology for never nominating her before, despite her role not being nearly as memorable as her other film roles, nor as noteworthy as Stephanie's in EEAAO, and it was more like a Lifetime Achievement Award than something she actually deserved to win based on her own merits. If Angela had won as she should have, it would've felt like a genuine win because she was just that damn good. (The fact that Angela already won the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards over Jamie should've helped put the odds in her favor, but for some unfathomable reason, that didn't happen.)

End rant.

this is petty but lowkey love samdoesart getting clowned on for drawing the same face on every woman/girl but drawing men differently each time

especially considering his explanation was that he draws women in a way hes attracted to which.. is a shit argument when the girl in question is 14 in canon… (ellie from tlou)

I still haven’t uninstalled the Twitter app from my phone even though I haven’t actively used it in almost a year— just got a mini jump scare from the new icon sitting there amongst my shortcuts and honestly that might be the thing that pushes me over the edge to get rid of it for good already ❌
