CAN A GIRL GET A BREAK OVER HERE?

Medical Discussions follow as well as journeys in Adulting.

Fair Warning may be unsuitable for any audience. No nudity or sex.

I've spent the last week in pain. It started in my hip. It was severe pain. It was so severe that I contemplated going to the ER. I used up my backup pain pills instead. That removes that option in the future. I have had this kind of pain before. I did go to the ER, and it wasn't helpful. Got a dx of "either kidney stone or ovarian cyst with severe abdominal pain causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea." No Shit Sherlock. Try telling me something I don't know. Or at least pick a dx. Is it kidney stones? Is it Ovarian cyst(s)? None of this either or crap. Sadly, testing showed both, but I couldn't have a bursting ovaring cyst and a painful kidney stone at the same time, right? For reference, that kidney stone was massive. The ER visit was in April. The post above was in June, so about 2 months to pass the kidney stone. (I hope this doesn't last that long!)

But the type of pain I had this week was similar to the pain I had experienced at that time. I have a history of those things as well as IBS. I also have EDS/HMS and tend to sublax that hip often. It started with just the pain. Severe though it was, I lived. But on top of that, I got the diarrhea. When the vomiting started on top of that, I was done for.

For four days I was in agony. I couldn't keep food down. Thank God for Water Ice and believe it or not Pumpkin Pudding. I bought some a while back and pumpkin is good for your stomach and it's not quite solid food. I even tried my good chicken soup and watched it come back up as fast as it went down.

It has finally settled a bit today. I managed to get some of my things done. These things I have been working on but putting off finishing for a while. I've gotten behind. I have errands that are tedious. I have to drive for an hour to get the car papers turned over, for instance.

To add to this wonderous mess, I just got outside for the first time since the earthquake,(Or I'm guessing that's what did it.) and my gutter and part of my roof are in the yard.

It's not structural but enough that it's going to cost me. Dummy me, I thought I could get the insurance to pay for it.

You know, that thing where you pay money to people on the off chance that, in case of disaster, they return you money to you plus some more.

They had no problem paying the roof last year or this year's additional damage caused by bad repairs of the previous repairs.

But no. If the damage was from an earthquake, it's not covered. According to the insurance, God( and His signs and wonders[Matthew 24:24-26 ] )is infallible and does not need insurance. It is not even available.

And to add insult to injury, they are dropping my current policy and bumping the price. In this case, twice isn't as nice. My agent said to look around and see if there was something else. When I came back with some quotes, I got told, a new company won't take the risk. So why tell me to go look for quotes?

Also, isn't that what an insurance agent is for? To price out policies and try to get you the best coverage and help you get money when you have legitimate claims?

It's unfair. I'm getting punished for Global Warming/Mother Nature's Temper Tantrum/Gaia's Menopause. Oh, and having an old house that wasn't kept in repair. Had I only known, I would have gone back and nagged both my parents until they fixed everything when they had money and broken things when they broke.

So I've been working through all this and getting some other stuff settled. One, being I need an estate account to cash the damn insurance check that is going to cause all the problems. I had a joint account with my Dad in case of an emergency like this.(I'm not the only one in the family who gets feelings about stuff like that.) I had been using that account, which worked fine for everything else. Setting up that account took a little bit. I got there just after the bank opened and left just about lunchtime. But I hadn't eaten at all. I had been too afraid to try. But I decided to give it a go for a late lunch.

So, while at the bank, there is a grocery across the street. I grabbed some stuff there for lunch; some things that I hoped would stay down. I saw some lovely steaks on extreme sale so I called my aunt to tell her about the sale.

I mentioned to her that I had picked up chicken for chicken salad, because I was still recovering from my stomach issues. The mere mention of my health lead to an interminable(I looked. 11 minutes. Really, only 11 minutes?!) rant about how let's see...

-I'm doing it to myself

-I'm taking too many medicines

-I'm overdosing on Vitamins

-My stomach problems are caused by my medicines

-My medicines are counteracting with each other

-You're going to die early

-J*s*s F**king Chr*st Jay, why you are doing this to yourself

-You are as bad as **** with that habit of yours.[Not drugs but a stress induced tick. At the moment she yelled this, she figured out that I was doing it for psychological reasons rather than psychological ones. It's the first time it's connected for her. She's not big on the "touchy feely" and therapy type stuff but it gets a temporary reprive. ]

Now, that's a lot to shove into 11 minutes. The time includes the regular conversation, BEFORE she started in on me. I also may have blocked a few things because at some point, I just hold the phone away from my ear and say Uh-huh every few seconds.

She also offered to "help me" by accompanying me to the doctor's so she could continue this conversation in the presence of a medical professional who(by her reckoning) would agree with her and immediately stop prescribing the medications she herself prescribed. I told her that would not be necessary (I refrained from screaming AW, HELL NAW!). I also neglected to tell her when my appointment was.

I have important things to ask about at my doctor's appointment. Things that are more consequential than my aunt's need to control every aspect of my life.(Ha! She used to say my Dad was super controlling! He never tried to brow beat me into attending one of my doctor's appointment! Although I did attend his, mostly do to his memory not being the best and him not being able to drive.)

But there are many things I need to discuss and I don't need my appointment hijacked by my aunt. For instance, I would like to discuss how much Prozac I can safely take and if Xanax (as needed) is an option. I may be having some stress issues right now. I have a whole page full of things to discuss in a 15-minute appointment.

I wonder why I'm so stressed lately????

I need money too. Not that my Dr can help with that. I also need a vacation. I realize the insanity of that statement, but I need the R&R. My R isn't so restful, and my R isn't at all relaxing. It's more like S&S: Stressed and Subluxing.

Okay.

Rant over.

I just needed to get that out of my system.

Someone save me from the hand of Irony.

I spoke too soon.Before I got a chance to post this, I almost threw up again. I stopped myself. Fun. I'm not sure what would have come up besides liquid. I haven't eaten anything besides that chicken salad sandwich from lunch... and that was about 8 hours ago.

That could be part of the problem, lack of food. It did get better when I took a swig of sugary drink. I've always tended towards low blood sugar, and not eating is not helping. Also, a bit of a migraine is starting from a lack of caffeine because coffee doesn't set well when my stomach is upset, but I drink regular amounts of triple caffeinated cold brew to get to sleep. Odd, but it works.

I have the doctor's tomorrow. She'll have plenty of puzzles to figure out.

Where can I find Free Palestine protests and Ceasefire protests?

A super international and continually updated list of actions can be found at Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network's:

Calendar of Resistance for Palestine 2024

They list events by date, then alphabetically by country, then by city - and it's common for them to have dozens of actions listed for a single date, especially on the weekends.

The United States especially often has 40+ events on a single day, especially on the weekends.

Events are posted with links to the event info posted by whoever's hosting the vast majority of the time.

Look blow the read-more for a list of many of the countries that have been on this protest calendar, in alphabetical order, since I know so many websites/lists of actions are country-specific

*Obviously this isn't the only good source of listings for protest events - there are many others. This is by far the biggest/most international roundup I've found, though, so I started with this. If you know another good place for finding ceasefire protests/events, please feel free to add it in the notes, bc I'm planning to put a bigger roundup together once I find enough other sites

Countries that Samidoun has listed/does list protests for include (in alphabetical order):

North America:

United States

Canada

Mexico

Puerto Rico (listed separately in anti-colonial solidarity)

Hawai'i (listed separately in anti-colonial solidarity)

Europe:

Austria

Belgium

Bulgaria

Denmark

England

Finland

France

Germany

Greece

Hungary

Iceland

Ireland

Italy

Netherlands

Norway

Portugal

Romania

Scotland

Serbia

Spain

Sweden

Switzerland

Wales

SWANA Region (Southwest Asia/North Africa)*:

Bahrain

Iraq

Jordan

Kuwait

Lebanon

Palestine

Tunisia

Turkiye (Turkey)

*Samidoun notes that "We know that these events are mainly international and that the Arab people are marching everywhere for Palestine – we will be honored to add more Arab events whenever we are informed!"

Asia:

Bangladesh

India

Indonesia

Japan

Malaysia

Maldives

Pakistan

South Korea

Africa:

Kenya

Mauritius

Nigeria

South Africa

Tanzania

Tunisia

*Duplicating North African countries (well, Tunisia) here from the SWANA list btw

South America:

Brazil

When Danny enters the Fenton portal for the very first time, he still trips and shocks himself but at the same time damages the inside of the portal enough that it can’t sustain itself past the point of changing Danny’s molecules.

The electricity and damage done to both Danny and the portal isn’t something Danny, Sam, and Tucker can cover up and his parents find out immediately. They’re more concerned about their son then the portal (they have the blueprints for the portal and can rebuild it later but can’t replace their son if something happened to him) and go through a lot of things emotions regarding the existence of ghost human hybrids.

Danny’s new biology could easily be passed as meta human traits. Unfortunately President Lex Luther had just recently passed laws against meta humans. Meaning they can’t risk people find out about Danny’s new powers, at all. The Fentons decide that Danny should live with one of Maddie or Jacks relatives off grid until he can control his new abilities better.

luckily Jacks sister, Martha, and her husband have experience with a super powered child and after their son moved to the city could probably use a hand on their farm. All Jack needed to do was call.

#dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #danny fenton #jack fenton #martha kent #Danny wondering why his parents have so many relatives he never really sees #All the relatives that never forgot when Jack and Maddie hosted Thanksgiving Dinner before Danny or Jazz were born #bonding with your estranged relatives over turkey battling related trauma #Martha hasn’t let Jack visit the farm after he made the tractor sentient back in 87 #Danny discovering Superman is his farm boy turned reporter cousin and can never take any of the metropolis villains seriously anymore #Martha and Jon thinking they have a break from raising a super powered teenage: Danny showing up phased halfway through their front porch #unrelated but I’m not sure how much sense this actually makes (I’ve had a high grade fever all week and know I’ve been out of it)

yugioh isn't "good" i.e. its hardly a cowboy bebop or NGE or FLCL or mushishi but if anyone was like "it's bad" i'd be like be quiet. kaiba's about to summon obelisk out of the fucking ground

#millennium world sucks in so many ways. virtual world resists sense-making #battle city suffers from the wildly uneven relative power of the character motivations #the ceremonial duel is thematically indecisive and contradictory #and. of course. JOHJI #but yugioh is great. i fucking love yugioh #intern memo #edit: NGE is on this post because it's a masterpiece and rightfully described as one of the best anime of all time #a gripping and unflinching portrait of depression and alienation and the struggles of intimacy and loneliness

All Ancients are Halfa's

So! The reason everyone in the Realms believes that Danny is a super old Ancient and not a Ghost Baby is because all the Halfa's that exist currently are Ancients.

The Reason? For a Halfa to be born, they must have died as a God.

Pandora is a Halfa. She was the Goddess of the Amazon's before she was killed by Ares.

Frostbite is a Halfa. He was the God of a Yeti Tribe, before their kind died to Climate Change.

Dorathea and Aragon are Halfa's. They were both Draconic Gods who ruled over a small Country before dying to a roaming band of Magical Adventurerers.

Undergrowth is a Halfa. He was a Druidic Plant God killed after bis forest was destroyed by a Fire.

Even Clockwork is a Halfa. He used to be known as the God Kronos.

But that leads to the question of, How Danny is a Halfa? He was just a normal Human when he died, not Divine in any way, or so he thought. So how did he become a Halfa?

Well, maybe he should start looking into who his Birth Parents were...

...

"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE" As someone who's been playing TWST since march and stopped going out of my way to be spoilerfree after I got stuck at Overblott!Jamil? That's honestly been one of my favorite things about it - seeing something in fanart or a comment you think is just fans joking, only for it to be canon. "The economy!", "May I also throw a tantrum?", Malleus' gargoyle thing, and... everything about Rook being my top examples.

there's a whole bit in Trey's platinum birthday card where he goes on about how he became increasingly obsessed with mustard for like a week straight until the other students held an intervention. how are you supposed to talk about this. how can you bring up something like Trey's descent into mustard obsession to the point that the other characters are worried for him without it sounding like the most obvious lolrandom "he mentioned it once and now fandom acts like he puts mustard in everything" joke. also, how can I slip this into every Twst post from now on, because I need everyone in the world to know that this is a real canon fact about Trey "I'm just an average normal guy (who sticks my hands into people's mouths and owns 20 toothbrushes and used to eat flowers off the side of the road)" Clover.

for bonus points, 1) the punchline is that he still doesn't even like mustard that much, 2) he's saying all of this to Leona, and 3) Leona is actually kind of invested in Trey's mustard story for some reason, which is the most unbelievable part of all of this to be honest. (then Trey gets distracted by a painting of the Cheshire Cat and Leona takes the opportunity to powerwalk away to freedom before they can start talking about dijon versus spicy brown or whatever and extend this bit even longer)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #platinum jacket birthday #sorry that this ended up as me just talking about trey's birthday story for...about as long as trey talked about mustard. whoops.#i have said it before and i'll say it again though #the birthday cards have the best and most insane lore and i love them #especially for trey. he wants us to believe he's just some ordinary dude SO bad but he also keeps saying shit like this.#although to be fair as soon as rook enters the building the weirdness bell curve gets immediately fubar'd #so i guess it's all relative #me any time the characters brush off the most whackadoodle bonkers nonsense: why are they not questioning...oh wait #this is a universe in which rook exists and is a real person that they know #never mind please continue

No bc Satoru has this whole hallucination-dream-limbo sequence where he’s talking to Suguru about how he wanted to give Sukuna his all to get through to him and show him how he understood his loneliness only to have Suguru go “…you’re making me jealous.”

As an author, what Gege did here is genius because that is such a loaded statement to make in response to Satoru processing his fight with Sukuna. It can mean so many different things and we, the audience, are free to interpret exactly how Suguru meant it.

On one hand, you can say he said he was jealous because he wanted to be the one Satoru fought with all his might. He wanted to be as strong as Satoru, to match him in prowess, and hearing that Sukuna was the one to do it instead made him jealous.

On the other hand, you can say that he said he was jealous because Satoru recognized that Sukuna was lonely and wanted to get through to him, something that he was too late to recognize in Suguru when he was descending into madness, and that in turn made Suguru jealous because it was as if Satoru was saying “I recognized the loneliness in him and wanted to do something about it” when he failed to do that same thing with Suguru.

I personally interpret it the second way more (the first one is very valid, but I just see things the second way), because of the next lines.

He made Suguru cry. While laughing. Once again, holy shit is that such a loaded scene. What did Suguru’s tears mean? We have never seen him cry before. Not when Riko died, not at any point when he was losing his mind, not even when he died by Satoru’s hand. So why, when Satoru said he wished Suguru was there to wish him luck before he fought, did he finally get brought to such strong emotion that he cried?

Was it because he was happy to hear that Satoru still thought of him, even in his final moments?

Was it because after all these years, Satoru never thought ill of him and pictured him there beside him, and he was relieved?

Was it because he regretted making the choices he did that led to him not being there by Satoru’s side?

Or, in a very indirect way, was it an admission of love from Satoru that made Suguru happy?

I wonder that, because of these panels from Chapter 238:

Kashimo asked Sukuna, “if you’re so satisfied being alone, why did you refuse to die and turn yourself into cursed fingers?”

Sukuna’s response is, “Love is worthless. I’ve never needed anyone to satisfy me.”

Which is a directly opposing statement to the one that Satoru had just made to Suguru.

Sukuna: I only have to worry about myself and I get to do as I please. I am satisfied by myself. I don’t need love.

Satoru: I worried about everyone else my entire life and I was controlled by the society. I was not satisfied, but I would have been if you had been there with me, Suguru.

That. Is. Powerful. Those panels imply that love is what made Satoru weak. He did not feel complete because he didn’t have Suguru. He had all of the power in the world, he had status, he had students that depended on him, other friends even, and he still was not satisfied because Suguru wasn’t there.

Sukuna on the other hand recognized how detrimental love was because of what it did to people, how it made them weak, and he decided he didn’t need it.

Those panels were such an indirect-direct conversation between Satoru and Suguru.

Essentially, they were saying:

Suguru: You fought with all of your might and I wish that you recognized my loneliness so that I could have been there with you

Satoru: I was at the peak of my power and I had the weight of the world on my shoulders, and I was allowed to go all-out to fight yet I just wanted you to be there with me

It’s just. Ugh. They’re saying they want each other in the most infuriatingly roundabout way.

#ive been wanting to talk abt this for a minute #just. the language.#satisfaction relative to love #it’s all related #satoru was not satisfied because he didnt have the person he loved #sukuna has abandoned all need for satisfaction and love because they are weaknesses #satosugu #jjk meta #satosugu meta #stsg #sgst #sugusato #satoru gojo #gojo satoru #geto suguru #suguru geto #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jjk spoilers

using the phrase "what if it was your mother or sister!" as an attempt to reason with a misogynistic man does not work because their mothers and sisters are usually the first victims of their misogyny.

The thing that’s so special to me about Emily Prentiss being lesbian is that she’d be a specific type of lesbian the media is sorely missing.

This is a very middle-aged woman with multiple sexual experiences with men that significantly impact who she is as a character (pregnant at 15, seducing Ian). Like they are canon, and undeniably formative experiences for her personality and how she interacts with other people/the team.

Having her realize her sexuality now would not only be such an incredibly story arc, it would also be representing so many lesbians who don’t get that type of representation.

#also she just IS lesbian like it’s so obvious #it would also make a lot of things make much more sense but those are both smaller reasons #(relatively smaller- they’re all huge)#criminal minds #emily prentiss #jemily
