#buttonhook

I was feeling a little too awkward about self-promotion to mention it here, but I had a little piece published just recently in a new games zine! It's called Buttonhook and it's a neat project collecting unique, original writing about video games big and small from a wide variety of writers. My piece is about Infinite Guitars, punk rock, and Jeff Rosenstock, and I'm glad I got the chance to write it. If you've got a few bucks to spare, I highly recommend taking a look and supporting the project!

The Delta 727 rose steeply, buttonhooked over Castle Rock – Vic always looked for his house near Castle Lake and 117, always fruitlessly – and then headed back toward the coast.

I have finally found it: the milhist equivalent to claiming that Victorian women fainted constantly from tight-lacing.

Archer et al. on 18th century military uniforms: "The gaiters were tight and the rows of buttons sometimes took hours to do up with a special iron hook." (emphasis added) Hours!! HOURS!! Countless battles lost, lives sacrificed, because the men couldn't handle their Fancy Leggings.

...Needless to say, it does NOT take hours to put these on, even if you don't have a buttonhook.

Really annoying to read this drivel from four actual professors of history, not Internet randos making up wacky facts.

Inktober 3 - Boots

Charlotte looked at Estella, dilgently working the buttonhook up her boots, and stepped into her slippers as sarcastically as she could contrive.

I got my first pair of button boots this year. I have not actually worn them much, but I have a lot of sympathy for Estella. I ought to have drawn the buttonhook in her other hand, it's a little hard to see.

Reference from @adorkastock Thank you as always.

Azimir Kaassimolar

By all rights, he should be a surgeon, a scientist or doctor of great renown. He has the knowledge, the temperament, the drive. He knows the anatomical quirks of all the sapient races, as well as most beasts & monsters. He's quick-witted, contemplative, and completely unflappable. As a frontline trauma surgeon, he is peerless. But Azimir Kaassimolar is Bhaalspawn, wrought of Bhaal's own flesh, animated by the unholy ichor of Bhaal's own blood. He is the favored son of the Lord of Murder; to save lives would be antithetical.

His casual clothes as listed:

underwear

stockings

linen shirt (white, black, or gray)

shirt cuffs

cotton or silk trousers (summer short, winter long)

cinch belt

châtelaine (pencil, knife, buttonhook, notebook)

shoes - caligae or barefoot

A Funny Story

MOTHER asked Doris to read little Amy her bedtime story while Mother finished work in the kitchen. Doris felt very pleased and proud for she hadn't known how to read very long. She called Amy, and they went off together.

Soon both little girls came running back to the kitchen.

“Mamma,” said Doris, “Amy won't keep still and let me read!”

“Mamma,” said Amy, “I don't like that story!”

“What's all this?” asked Mother. “Doris, did you know all the words?”

“Oh, yes,” said Doris.

Mother wasn't sure about that. “Read it out here where Amy and I can both hear it,” she suggested.

Doris opened the book again, and began to read fast and loud. This is what she read:

“The red fox said to the little red hen tail rabbit-ears whereare you going little buttonhook rabbit-ears. The little red hen said tail rabbit-ears that's for you to find out tail sir baseball-bat rabbit-ears.”

“My goodness!” said Mother. “Let me see the book, Doris.” When she looked at the story she laughed until Doris and Amy had to laugh, too. “Oh, Doris, you were reading the commas and quotation marks and things right with the story! You just skip them, dear; they're only put in to make reading easier.”

“Oh, don't you read them?” asked Doris. “Okay, Amy. Then this is what it says. The red fox said to the little red hen, 'Where are you going?' The little red hen said, 'That's for you to find out, sir!'”

“Now it's a good story,” said Amy, settling down to listen.

Managing Thumb Arthritis Pain: Strategies and Pain Relief Techniques Explained By The Best Hand Surgeon In Surat

Thumb arthritis is a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced hand function. It can significantly impact everyday activities and diminish quality of life. However, with the right strategies and pain relief techniques, you can effectively manage thumb arthritis symptoms. Here we have listed down a few pointers, from our reputed hand surgeon Dr. Chetan Patel, known for performing Best Hand Surgery in Surat, that can help you control thumb arthritis pain to lead a more comfortable and active life.

1. Protect and Rest the Thumb

One of the first steps in managing thumb arthritis pain is to protect and rest the affected joint. Avoid repetitive movements and gripping activities that exacerbate the pain. Utilize assistive devices, such as braces or splints, to support and stabilize the thumb joint, especially during activities that require hand use. By minimizing stress and providing the thumb with periods of rest, individuals can reduce pain and prevent further deterioration of the joint.

2. Apply Heat or Cold Therapy

Heat and cold therapy can offer temporary relief from thumb arthritis pain. Applying a warm compress or taking a warm shower can help relax the muscles and increase blood circulation, reducing discomfort. On the other hand, cold therapy, such as applying an ice pack or using a cold gel pack, can help numb the area and alleviate inflammation. Experiment with both methods to determine which provides the most significant pain relief for your thumb arthritis.

3. Practice Gentle Exercises

Engaging in gentle exercises can help improve the strength and flexibility of the thumb joint while minimizing pain. Consult a healthcare professional such as a thumb arthritis specialist in Surat or occupational therapist to learn suitable exercises for thumb arthritis. Regular exercise can prevent stiffness, promote joint mobility, and enhance overall hand function.

4. Explore Medication

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can provide temporary relief from thumb arthritis pain. Topical creams or ointments containing capsaicin or menthol may also help alleviate discomfort. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult one of the Best hand surgeons in Surat who may prescribe stronger medications or recommend corticosteroid injections to manage pain and inflammation effectively.

5. Try Assistive Devices and Adaptive Tools

Assistive devices and adaptive tools can make daily tasks easier for individuals with thumb arthritis. Ergonomic utensils, jar openers, buttonhooks, or built-up handles can help reduce strain on the thumb joint. Devices such as styluses or dictation software can be used to minimize the need for repetitive thumb movements while using electronic devices. Explore different options and find tools that best suit your needs, enabling you to maintain independence and functionality.

6. Seek Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy plays a crucial role in managing thumb arthritis by providing targeted interventions and strategies. An occupational therapist can assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. They can teach you joint protection techniques, recommend adaptive strategies, and provide splinting or taping techniques for pain relief and support. Occupational therapy aims to enhance hand function, minimize pain, and improve overall quality of life for individuals with thumb arthritis.

7. Consider Alternative Therapies

Some individuals find relief from thumb arthritis pain through alternative therapies. Acupuncture, massage therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are among the options worth exploring. These therapies can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and promote relaxation. However, it is essential to consult with a qualified practitioner and ensure they have experience in treating arthritis-related conditions.

8. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Adopting a healthy lifestyle can have a positive impact on managing thumb arthritis pain. Maintain a balanced diet, rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids. Regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction techniques, such as meditation or yoga, can help improve overall well-being and alleviate arthritis symptoms. Stay hydrated, get adequate rest, and listen to your body’s needs to optimize your physical and mental health.

9. Stay Educated and Seek Support

Knowledge is power when it comes to managing thumb arthritis. Stay informed about the condition, its progression, and available treatment options. Attend support groups or seek online communities where you can connect with others experiencing similar challenges. Sharing experiences, exchanging tips, and receiving emotional support can provide reassurance and motivation on your journey to managing thumb arthritis pain.

Conclusion

Thumb arthritis pain can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to control your life. Implementing a comprehensive approach, as discussed in this blog, you can effectively manage thumb pain, improve hand function, and enhance your overall well-being.

Remember, every individual is unique, so it is essential to find a combination of strategies that works best for you. Do not shy away from visiting us if your pain takes a turn for the worse,

merrick looked up at him, her face soft and open. this wasn't exactly how she'd anticipated this going, but she wasn't complaining, either. she hooked her finger in the now open buttonhook of his jeans, tugging him as close as possible and leaning in to kiss him, her mouth open and her tongue sweeping over his as she answered him the only way she really knew how. her hand continued to slide under the elastic of his undergarments, reaching out circle his cock lightly in her hand. "i'm so sure," she promised when they parted, starting a slow stroke for him. "i've been thinking about this for weeks, really," she continued, biting down on his jawline, a lazy smile on her face, "imagined it endless nights, what you would feel like. taste like."

m/f - 1c. it had been so long since someone touched him in any capacity. it used to be a regular thing back when he lived in the city. and when he met merrick, he didn't expect it to escalate like this. "are you sure?" he questioned, rippling abs peeking through his open flannel which had seen better days. his muscles were taut and tense from the work he did that day, but nothing would stop him from leaning into her touch. he had pulled her onto the counter, hands on either side of her. as she undid his pants he could feel the slight relief of his growing cock, breathing out.
